In 2001 and 2003 the site was sounded by archaeologists of the Iranian Center for Archaeological Research. During the two seasons 10 graves were uncovered, three of them having been plundered previously. The tomb pits have been cut through the loose bedrock, and were capped by large slabs. In each grave there were usually one or two burials with various funerary gifts, included ceramic vessels, silver, iron and bronze objects, beads, and so on. Preliminary observations on the Kul Tarike assemblage, especially ceramics, suggest a Mannean date for the cemetery.","PeriodicalId":43366,"journal":{"name":"Iranica Antiqua","volume":"42 1","pages":"139-184"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2143/IA.42.0.2017874","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68053910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article considers when elephants were first incorporated into the Sassanian army, why they were thought necessary, their deployment and equipment during the period in question, and the degree to which the Sassanian way of elephant warfare differed from that of neighbouring peoples. In addition, the paper proposes a close association between the use of elephants and Persian notions of kingship. Much emphasis is placed on the martial activities of Shapur II and the testimony of the Greek soldier-historian Ammianus Marcellinus.","PeriodicalId":43366,"journal":{"name":"Iranica Antiqua","volume":"42 1","pages":"301-346"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2143/IA.42.0.2017880","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68053982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
