چکیده

Shell vessels are rare grave objects that have been found in many third and 2nd millennium B.C.

cemeteries in Mesopotamia. Archaeological excavations in the Iranian plateau have yielded shell

vessels from Barde Zarde cemetery, Kalle Nisar cemetery, Bani Surmeh cemetery, Shahdad

cemetery, and Tepe Hissar. Barde Zarde produced a relatively complete Lambis vessel and other

objects (including a bronze axe) from a destroyed tomb; physical anthropological studies suggests

these tombs suggest these were graves of adult men. Archaeological studies show that the majority

of the shell vessels are made from three known species of shells, Lambis, Turbinella pyrum,

and Pleuroploca trapezium. The source of these shells is the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean at

the south of the Indus valley. Analysis of these burials informs not only of the social structure but

also of the beliefs of those societies. The locations on the map shows that the closest place to trade

Lambis is in the Iran plateau in Shar-i Sokhta which then leads to Shahdad, Susa, behind the

Luristan Mountain, and Barde Zarde of west Azerbaijan. Based on the sites where Lambis were

found, it can be said that all of these sites were located on the trade path of the third millennium

B.C. Shells may have entered Iranian plateau through two trade routes.
