Luristan Excavation Documents Vol. II
Chamahzi Mumah. An Iron Age III Graveyard
by E. Haerinck and B. Overlaet
This monograph is the final report of the excavation of the Chamahzi Mumah graveyard in Luristan, Iran, by the University of Ghent and the Royal Museum of Art and History, Brussels. The excavations, directed by Louis Vanden Berghe, were conducted in 1974 and 1975. In total 81 tombs were discovered. They contained a wide range of objects, including pottery, iron and bronze ornament, jewellery. The graveyard can be dated to the Iron Age III in Western Iran (8th-7th century B.C.). Whereas iron is generally used for swords, daggers and arrowheads, as well as for a sculpture, bronze was still preferred for decorated axe-adzes, maceheads, and shields. All the finds are illustrated in line drawings, the tombs and the main objects also in photo.
