Because of the hot and dry weather of central desert in Iran, archaeological fieldwork and case studies in some regions like Tabas city have been insignificant and archaeologists were not interested in working there. However, recent archaeological surveys have provided valuable findings for researchers. Specific geographical location and the connection as a natural corridor among central Asia, North of Khorasan, southeast of Iran, and central plateau of Iran, which was made by central desert, can be a great cause of archaeological studies in this region to get better understanding of ancient cultures from east of Iran. Therefore, to achieve perfect understanding over Great Khorasan Culture (BMAC), and the way it was developed across the east of Iran and its intercultural issues with other regions, all of them would demand completed archaeological studies at the same time with this culture in central east. Recent archaeological fieldwork on Great Khorasan Culture (BMAC) in central east were led to recognize several settlements and some new cemeteries located on the east for this culture. Bekanda site in Tabas is one of the significant sites in central east in which many evidences of the Great Khorasan Culture (BMAC) have been observed. This site is located beside the permanent river and of course, it was damaged dramatically. According to archaeological evidences it appears that Bekanda is a cemetery correlated with Bronze Age and associated with Great Khorasan Culture (BMAC). The main sources of this research have been chosen from the library sources and excavations of Bekanda of Tabas. This excavation was done for determining and recommending the border of this site, then these findings were analyzed and interpreted in theoretical studies. This paper intends to introduce and describing Great Khorasan Culture (BMAC) at the eastern Part of central Desert of Iran; furthermore, its results can demonstrate different aspects of this culture.

Defending history has taken place as a factor and inactive. The defensive agent that is directly in front of the enemy and the defensive defense is a way to reduce the damage caused by wars in the cities and castles of different regions of Iran. Looking at the history of human civilization, it can be seen that the advent of early civilizations has been accompanied by war. South Khorasan (Qehistan) has been threatened by enemies because of its strategic location in the Middle East. It is necessary to pay attention to this issue and to pay attention to inactive defense policy and to identify its defense components. By studying and studying the Ismaili index in the southern Khorasan region, which can lead to the discovery of their sustainability code. And the pattern of them will lead to the creation of permanent buildings The result is not a single unit at the Ismaili-related level in this region (unity at the same plurality). This research, while defining the principles of inertial defense, examines how it is used in some South Khorasan tribes through descriptive-analytical method. The data collection tool of this research is based on library and field studies. The results of this research indicate the necessity of studying the use of inertial defense principles at the Ismaili-based index in the South Khorasan region.

Iranians’ knowledge of mines and minerals has a long history and, based on numerous pieces of evidence that show extensive search for and smelting of minerals since nine thousand years ago in all parts of Iran, Iranians’ position as pioneers in the ancient industry of mining and metallurgy has been confirmed. Iran is rich in terms of mineral deposits and mineral resources, including copper, which is thought to be the first metal used by prehistoric artisans. The abundance of copper deposits in Iran is one of the causes of the enormous growth of the metal smelting industry in antiquity. Unfortunately, in archaeological studies in Iran, ancient metallurgy processes have not been investigated in detail. Ancient metalworking is a cycle that was initiated by the mining and extraction of minerals, followed by melting of stones and extraction of metal from them, and ending in the production stage and distribution of the products. Each of the activities of this cycle has created pieces of archaeological evidence that by identifying and studying them an understanding of metalworking potential in the area and the capability of its residents in utilizing the facilities and ecological capacities, such as water resources, vegetation, and mineral deposits can be provided. Accumulation of the minerals rich in various metals in Khorasan and rich history in the production of metal works from prehistoric to Islamic times led to an emphasis on the dynamics of metalworking in eastern Iran by ancient writings. Southern Khorasan province includes a wide area of eastern Iran which, due to geological features and higher content of mines and metals, has been predominately considered as an important area for mining and metalworking studies. This study introduces ancient metalworking sites and compares the chemical compositions of slags found in the northeastern parts of South Khorasan (Zirkooh district) using XRF spectrometry and petrography studies.

A number of places in Iran are given prominence due to their historical, geographical, and political backgrounds. One of them, Ghohestan, or the state of mountains, was known to be called Ghayenat in the Islamic era. It is, however, officially dubbed as Southern Khorasan (Khorasan Jonnubi). Ghohestan's strategic importance and its close proximity to the east and south of Iran with various tribes dwelling in it stimulated significance to the region through the passage of time in the historiography of Khorasan and Iran. Employing the popular humanistic research methods based on documentary and theoretical studies, the following paper aims to conduct a geographical survey on the region and shade light, however briefly, on the unknown aspects of its history. What is acquired from the findings is that Ghohestan sustained a strategic significance and witnessed and fostered a series of historical changes in the Islamic era due to its geographical coherence with the larger Khorasan, economic and cultural interstate exchanges, and political and ethnic characteristics. Even today, the area displays numerous strategic capabilities in confrontation with the issues of immigration, social and political challenges, and ethnic tensions which demand the attention of the governmental agencies.
