Undoubtedly, the Great Khorasan Road, known as the Silk Road, has been one of the most important trade routes during the historical periods of Iran. In a comprehensive perspective this route would link China to the Mediterranean coast and would pass through the Great Khorasan throughout cultural Iran and many other neighboring areas. In addition to the commercial function and economic and subsistence impacts of people from different regions, the Great Khorasan Road had profound social impacts on human societies of different eras because of the interaction of cultures. Meanwhile, Markazi province and especially the northern part of the province, has an important role in the current borders of the two counties of Saveh and Zarandieh, from pre-Islamic period to its decline in the Safavid period. Therefore, in the present research, using historical and geographical texts, archeological surveys and excavations, we attempt to determine the direction of this ancient road as well as the important cities, buildings and houses along this road and explain the why and how of the ancient communication routs and the historical existence of this ancient road in this area. The most important achievement was explaining how and why and the geographical and historical perspective of this ancient road based on the correspondence of the location of the identified ancient sites with the location of the stations mentioned in the historical sources and texts and the relative drawing of the Khorasan road in the north of Markazi province, in the meantime, Saveh and Moshkuyeh, as two important stations - which have been repeatedly addressed in the texts and valuable archaeological evidence that shows their high status and credibility - have been explored along the road to Khorasan and monuments related to this ancient route were counted

The present study examines the Great Khorasan Road (Khorasan Highway) and its caravanserais in the Markazi Province. Through benefiting from historical and geographical sources and archeological studies and excavations, the researcher aims to answer the two questions of through which cities in Markazi Province this highway passed, and what the political and economic place of Markazi Province was during different periods in relation to Khorasan Highway. The findings of the study indicate that Markazi Province and, particularly, its northern regions in the present Saveh and Zarandieh counties played a significant role in relation to this highway from the pre-Islamic period until the Safavid era. The caravanserais in Dokan, Susan Naqin, Doudabad, Mosaddeqan, Rozeh, Darouz, Vabarveh, and Mashkuye, located before and after Saveh, were among the most important roadside inns which, based on the addresses given in related sources, must have all been located in Markazi Province and in Nowbaran, on Saveh Plain, and on the way between Saveh and the present day Tehran. Among them, four villages, including Mosaddeqan, Susan Naqin, Doka, and Darouz, can be located in Nowbaran region. Susan Naqin has remained under the same name there; however, Mosaddeqan, Dokan, and Daruz exist under the names of Mazlaqan, Dokhān, and Daruzan, respectively, all near the city of Nowbaran, on the way from Hamedan to Saveh. Following a descriptive-analytic approach, this research was conducted based on library and field studies.

The archaeological site of Moshkouyeh that nowadays called Moshkin tape is located in northern part of the Iranian plateau, between the two historical cities of Rey in the north and Saveh in the south. The two terms can be considered for the word of the Moshkouye: A) Moshkouye was a region where the hunting of gazelle and extraction of musk was carried out there. B) Moshkooy can be considered a kings palace or harem. By Searching in historical resources, it became clear that nowadays Moshkin Tape is the same as historical Moshkouye that was settlement in Khurasan Road. After reading the historical texts, the systematic survey of the site showed that pottery shards and pottery equipment could be the remains of an industrial city from the Seljuq Era. Archaeological excavation in 2008 indicated this small city has produced the pottery required by inhabitants of Rey and many villages in the political and cultural region of Rey during the 5th and 6th centuries after Hijrat. This paper analyzes the structure, function and chronology of excavated kilns. This aim has been achieved through the analyses and interpretation of ceramic along with ethnographic studies, historical resources and especially archaeological data which has been yielded from Moshkin tape survey and excavation.

One of the major Islamic sites of Central Province, the site of Moshkin Tape, is located in one and a half miles away New City of Parandak, in a semi-desert region. Due to its geographical location, extent, area, name and other features, Moshkin Tape must probably be the same Moshkuye mentioned in historical texts and historical geography of 4th century AD so far. These areas were systematically reviewed and excavated in 2008, whose part of systematic review of data is presented in the following paper. In this article, the glazed and unglazed potteries scattered in surface areas have been numbered, classified, studied and finally analyzed; first by technical features such as paste, temper and then the classification of their decorative features. It should be noted that based on relative chronology and comparative features of the potteries – which more or less was previously referred to – more scattered surface clay potteries of this area are related to the 12 and 13 AD centuries. But also, among them are potteries about 9 to 12 and 13 to 16 centuries AD.
