The authors have here produced an indispensable research resource for students and specialists in the archaeology of Iran, dealing with a complex series of topics in masterly fashion. Especially innovative is the interweaving of multiple strands of archaeological evidence throughout the narratives of the book, including palaeoclimatology, archaeobotany and archaeozoology, which together succeed in bringing new perspectives on the past of Iran. ~Dr John Curtis, The Iran Heritage Foundation, Iran
