Archaeological study of SefidKuh Makran area with the approach of Ethnoarcheological
Today, Ethnoarcheological studies are one of the main pillars of archaeological research and are of great importance. Ethnoarcheological, by using mechanisms It begins to compare and analogy static archaeological findings with dynamic anthropological findings, expands them, relates to each other, as well as environmental conditions, and helps to study this process in order to better understand human societies in the past. Southeastern Iran has been one of the important areas in cultural interactions with the Indus Valley, Mesopotamia, the Iranian plateau and the southern coast of Iran; this region is known as Little India due to its humid and tropical climate, impassable mountains and dry deserts. The present study was conducted in SefidKuh area located in Nikshahr city, Bent district of Sistan and Baluchestan province. This area is home to communities with a semi-sedentary settlement pattern in the form of scattered and cohesive villages with a specific location pattern along rivers or intermountain plains that follow the pattern of circular, oval, cohesive and rectangular architecture in a limited way. The livelihood pattern of these communities is very broad and is based on agriculture, horticulture, livestock, hunting, food gathering, trade and labor, and they follow unique cultural and economic patterns and political and social relations similar to prehistoric times. Two separate and, of course, related objectives were considered in this study; in the first stage, the project of surveying and identifying the ancient sites of the region was carried out, and in the second stage, the anthropological study of the current living communities was considered. In this study, the continuity of the settlement patterns of the studied communities and also the identification and registration of all biological and cultural patterns of living settlements in Sefidkuh of Makran area (Balochistan) were examined. Finally, using the approaches of the thnoearcheological, the similarity and difference between the communities in question and prehistoric communities (exclusively, Epipaleolithic, Neolithic, Chalcolithic) was measured, which ultimately led to a better awareness of the region's ancient and special cultures.
