Kashan Tappeh-ye Sialk The richest archaeological site in central Iran is the mound of the Tappeh-ye Sialk. Tappeh-ye Sialk site was excavated by Ghirshman in the 1930s. He dated the site to the second half of the 15th millennium BC. Later excavations revealed that the site is more than 7000 years old. Tappeh-ye Sialk Sialk was occupied from the fourth millennium BC until the 8th century BC. Probably, one of the most interesting findings are inscribed clay tablets dating back to the late 3rd and early 2nd millennium BC. There are also some records showing immigrants and conquerors passing through this region and settling near Bagh-e Fin. The artifacts uncovered reside in the Louvre Museum in Paris and the archaeological museum in Tehran. There is not much to do or see there today unless you are an archaeologist.
