Abstract

Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province is one of the archeological study areas in South Zagros, which contains valuable information about nomadic practices and semi-temporary agricultural settlements during the Islamic era, especially the middle and late Islamic centuries. Site 089 of Cham-Shir, according to the architectural structures and the type of pottery obtained from the excavation of 2022, is a type of settlement of pastoral nomadism with agriculture. The site's excavation includes architectural and pottery data that, when analyzed, show a close relationship with this way of life. In this site's architectural structure, several architectural spaces were created for human habitation to place items related to this lifestyle and one or two larger structures attached to the living space to keep livestock. Along with the architectural collection, pottery finds were found which, according to their form, quality of construction and possible use, further confirm the relationship of these architectural collections with the nomadic style. Site 089 includes five separate building units with wide dimensions, revealed during the excavation in two units with different architectural structures using the same raw materials and construction techniques. In these architectural units, all kinds of Istakhr-type pottery, Pseudo-prehistoric pottery, glazed pottery, and simple pottery of the Islamic period were found, similar to the examples obtained from Fars, Khuzestan, Kerman, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari; The study of architectural units led to the relative chronology of the site.
