Archaeological Evidence of Scythians Presence in Roudbar of

Gilan Province in Iran

Shahin Aryamanesh*

Seyyed Mehdi Mousavi**

Abstract

Scythians were one of the nomadic tribes that after many displacements in the first

millennium BC moved into parts of the present-day Iran (Persia). Historical texts such as

those of Herodotus and Strabo and also the inscriptions of Assyrian kings all indicate the

presence of Scythians in north-west of Iran. Herodotus has mentioned in his writings that

when Scythian headed toward the south, they reached the Caucasus through Derbent.

Scythian after passing the Caucasus, they met the Assyrians and had a battle (678 BC) and

the Assyrians were victorious. One of the valuable excavations that led to finding human

burial along with horses was the explorations of Ali Hakemi in Kaluraz and Jouban area of

Roodbar city in Gilan Province carried out from 1965 to 1968. Unfortunately completely

reports of Archaeological excavations in Roudbar not published at that time, however after

50 years that reports published, so in this paper, the authors deals with the burials that have

been undertaken in these sites and the graves that were found there. Comparing and

contrasting the findings of this area with Scythians burial styles mentioned in the historical

writings as well as the archaeological findings of the original Scythian sites, the researcher

explains about the presence of Scythians in northern Iran.
