Abstract: (3664 Views)
Archaeological studies of Varzeqan county in the geographical area of northwestern Iran have received more attention due to the existence of mountain fortifications and cemeteries from the Bronze and Iron Ages. In this area, however, other rich archaeological evidence remains; Which shows the position and importance of Varzeqan region in the field of archaeological studies of the historical period of northwestern Iran. In Seqay village, 10 Cut - rock spaces have been created on the rock bed, which can be considered as evidence of the position and importance of this village in archeological studies, architecture and other sciences. However, no specific research has been done on these Cut - rock spaces. Accordingly, this study seeks to answer two basic questions regarding the nature of use and chronology of the studied spaces. The purpose of this study is to introduce, typology, relative chronology and land use analysis of the mentioned handicraft spaces. However, relying on superficial data, it is difficult to answer questions about the chronology and usage of this collection. However, it is very possible to hypothesize that these rock works have been used for shelter and protection, as well as by examining, adapting the elements and architectural techniques used in the spaces and comparing them with the architectural elements of handmade spaces identified and studied in other areas. Parthian period can be suggested for the creation of these rocky handicraft spaces. Since no studies on handicraft spaces have been conducted in Varzeqan region so far, this research can be a basis for detailed scientific studies in the region to identify these works.
