"Archeologists will excavate
and search for evidence of human life from the Neolithic and Paleolithic
ages," said director of Kelardasht archeology team, Mehdi Mousavi.
"The team will study the site's 6000-year-old caves to determine the exact
date of human life in the area," he added, press tv said.
Bone and coal samples from the site were previously sent to Oxford University
for carbon 14 testing. The results showed that the area dates back to 6000
years ago.
Located in Iran's Mazandaran Province, the Kelardasht mound holds the key to
