In this research work, 39 glass samples from glass artifacts obtained in the ancient sites of Bandar Kong and Shamd-e-Dideban on the coast of the northern and western part of the Persian Gulf were analyzed by micro-PIXE. Analyzed samples which include 30 black glass bracelets, four glass vessels with green, blue, brown and white colors and five samples from the waste and remaining raw materials of glass. Historical reports and archeological studies indicate that the date of these glasses back to the middle and late Islamic era. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the raw materials used in the manufacturing glass artifacts in the middle Islamic period on the shores of the Persian Gulf. The main question is whether there is any evidence of the import of glass vessels and jewelry objects like bracelets from the Mediterranean area or the Indian Ocean through the Persian Gulf. Also, the manufacturing processes, compositions, and raw materials used in manufacturing glass artifacts in Bandar Kong and Shamd-e Dideban have studied, and the differences and similarities of the glass compositions of these two areas have investigated. The results of this research work show that all the analyzed glasses from these two sites are classified in the group of silica-soda-lime glass type and based on the weight percentage of magnesium oxide and potassium oxide, which are more than 2.5wt% in the composition of all glasses, plant ash used as a flux in their manufacturing. Also, the results of elemental compositions show that the flux used in the vessels and bracelets is different. On the other hand, the elemental analysis shows that the silica raw materials used in the bracelets in the two sites are completely different and they were prepared from different resources.

Although historical texts and stone reliefs from the Achaemenid era offer valuable information about the way this vast and mighty empire was managed, archaeological findings that could help determine the detailed designs of ceremonial structures have been very limited. In addition, despite the fact that the construction materials used to build these ceremonial structures and their mere magnitude, were meant to render them indestructible, the scourge of time and the forces of nature have hit them so hard that their retrieval seems impossible without lengthy archaeological studies. If we add the number of royal structures constructed upon the orders of Achaemenid princes,subordinates (known as the Satraps) and other rulers to the number of various regional and seasonal palaces built for the kings, we can easily estimate that the vast territory under Achaemenid rule held tens of such structures. Nevertheless,questions about the exact number of these palaces, their geographical distribution, their forms and functions as well as the political ranks of their inhabitants and the methods used to construct them remain unanswered. The discovery of three palaces belonging to the Achaemenid dynasty near the city of Borazjan (in Iran’s southern Bushehr Province) will help researchers find some answers but at the same time begs further questions about the date of these palaces’ construction, the motives of their builders, their architectural style, as well as the time and causes of their annihilation. This paper, which has been prepared based on data collected from archaeological excavations at the aforementioned sites, is an attempt to answer those questions. Analysis of the collected data has revealed that all three palaces were built at the beginning of the Achaemenid Empire and probably by the same architects that constructed the Pasargad. Based on the same findings, it may also be concluded that the construction of at least one of the palaces was abandoned in an emergency wrought by foreign invasion and possible conflagration.

This paper tries to illustrate the historical elongingness of the Persian Gulf to Iran and its attachment to the Persian culture through the archeological studies.In this regard, five historic documents from ancient Iran including the Khark Island known as the biggest island in the north of the gulf, historic harbor of Siraf,the margin of Borazjan City, and Goordokhtar in the north part of the Persian Gulf will be introduced based on Sarafraz’s archeological reports.Afterwards, with a comparison of these documents with other historical and cultural documents from the Iranian culture, the dependency of these parts to Iran will be shown as well as being ‘Persian’ through the true evidences.This article is the result of a study based on traces,evidences and archeological findings in Boshehr Provience region which verifies the sings of settlements in the ancient time in this part of the coast known as the Persian Gulf.
