The project, organized by the Research Institute of Cultural Heritage and Tourism, aims to document ancient sites and settlement patterns influenced by water resources like qanats. Key findings include evidence of early human activity, Chalcolithic metallurgical practices, advanced water management structures, nomadic encampments, and unique rock-cut dwellings. These discoveries reveal the area’s rich history and its significance as a cultural crossroads, emphasizing the importance of preserving this heritage for future studies.
