Hassan Rezvani, head of the excavation team involved in saving Patapeh Mound, which will be submerged by the dam's reservoir, said they have completed their six month long research of the site and come to the conclusion that the knoll is made up of different ancient layers from the pre-historic times up to the post-Sasanian period (637-850 E). "Following the completion of studies on the post-Sasanian ruins, we came across architectural remains at the site date back to the Parthian dynastic era (248 BCE-224 CE)," said Rezvani. Rezvani told the Persian service of Cultural Heritage News (CHN) Agency that archaeological studies on the fort has revealed that it was in use from the Saljuq (1037-1187 CE) to Qajar (1781-1925 CE) periods.
