| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we focus on the distribution of modern humans (Homo sapiens) after Out of Africa. We gathered evidence from fieldwork in the Zagros area, which was one of centers for the distribution of modern humans in Eurasia after Out of Africa. We chose the Arsanjan area in southern Zagros and the Slemani area in northwestern Zagros as the focus of investigation. In the Arsanjan area, we excavated the Tang-e Sikan cave and exposed Middle and Late Paleolithic cultural layers. We recovered important information about the distribution and development of modern humans after reaching southern Zagros. In the Slemani area we excavated the prehistoric cultural sequence after the distribution of modern humans, to reveal the Neolithization processes in the region.
