Archaeological Gazetteer of Iran
The Archaeological Gazetteer of Iran is a free-access, web-based encyclopedia of archaeological sites, places, and monuments in the greater Iranian World. The Pourdavoud Institute envisions the Gazetteer to become a major vehicle for archaeological research on ancient Iran, as well as a digital resource for scholars and students worldwide.
About the Project
The Pourdavoud Institute supports several digital and field research projects that situates ancient Persia within a broader cultural context. Led by Dr. Ali Mousavi, one major project involves building an interactive online platform that features the history, site reports, maps, and photographs of major archaeological sites in ancient Iran. The Institute’s vision is to expand this project into a major vehicle of archaeological research on ancient Iran.
