The excavation is a part of an archeological program directed by Mohammad Esmail Esmaili Jelodar, the Head of Archeology Group in Archeological Research Program, a program sponsored by Iranian Center for Archaeological Research and Cultural Heritage Research Center, excavating a site in south of Tehran’s traditional bazaar; “the tube placement by Tehran Water and Wastewater Company uncovered many ancient objects, which provided the impetus to document the prehistoric evidences,” said the project director. “Our excavations uncovered a second human skeleton in addition to the 7,000-year-old female skeleton, which belonged to roughly the same prehistoric period.”
