Abstract

Despite the distribution of known rock art in Iran showing a main concentration in central and western Iran, research activities undertaken in the very last decades led to the identification of sites in eastern Iran as well. In 2018 a new rock art site was discovered close to Ariyeh, Khorasan Razavi province, NE Iran. Here we present a case report on these newly found petroglyphs that are now in imminent danger due to recent vandalism. According to the represented iconography, its features, style, and patina, it seems that the Ariyeh rock art was produced over a long chronology, from the late Prehistory to the Islamic period. The discovery of the petroglyphs of Ariyeh has strong implications towards the understanding of the relationships among the different sites and their use, function, and meaning, in order to understand cultural connections occurred between the Iranian plateau and the surrounding areas over the millennia.

伊朗东北部呼罗珊拉扎维省新发现的阿里耶耶岩画

尽管已知的岩石艺术在伊朗的分布主要集中在伊朗中部和西部，但在过去几十年进行的研究活动也导致了伊朗东部遗址的确定。2018年，在伊朗东北部呼罗珊拉扎维省阿里耶附近发现了一个新的岩石艺术遗址。在这里，我们提出一个关于这些新发现的岩画的案例报告，由于最近的破坏，这些岩画现在处于迫在眉睫的危险之中。根据所代表的图像，其特征，风格和铜绿，似乎Ariyeh岩石艺术是从史前晚期到伊斯兰时期的漫长年代中产生的。阿里耶岩画的发现对了解不同遗址之间的关系及其用途、功能和意义具有重要意义，有助于了解数千年来伊朗高原与周边地区之间的文化联系。

期刊介绍： Archaeological Research in Asia presents high quality scholarly research conducted in between the Bosporus and the Pacific on a broad range of archaeological subjects of importance to audiences across Asia and around the world. The journal covers the traditional components of archaeology: placing events and patterns in time and space; analysis of past lifeways; and explanations for cultural processes and change. To this end, the publication will highlight theoretical and methodological advances in studying the past, present new data, and detail patterns that reshape our understanding of it. Archaeological Research in Asia publishes work on the full temporal range of archaeological inquiry from the earliest human presence in Asia with a special emphasis on time periods under-represented in other venues. Journal contributions are of three kinds: articles, case reports and short communications. Full length articles should present synthetic treatments, novel analyses, or theoretical approaches to unresolved issues. Case reports present basic data on subjects that are of broad interest because they represent key sites, sequences, and subjects that figure prominently, or should figure prominently, in how scholars both inside and outside Asia understand the archaeology of cultural and biological change through time. Short communications present new findings (e.g., radiocarbon dates) that are important to the extent that they reaffirm or change the way scholars in Asia and around the world think about Asian cultural or biological history.
