sites & excavations
The archaeology of Iran (ancient Persia) is only in its initial stages with respect to online documentation. Representing a veritable treasure trove of ancient sites, expeditions working in the country should be encouraged to publish at least a summary of their efforts through the Internet, as a better modern reflection of the profound periodic influence of Iran / Persia on the history and cultures of the Ancient Near East.
