Abstract
Archaeological excavations in the historical context of cities are always one of the most important challenges in the field of cultural heritage studies. The current buildings of Qasr e Shirin show its glory and its important position in the urban divisions of the Sassanid period, it seems that most of the remains of the buildings of the Islamic period are concentrated under the urban context and around the Safavid caravanserai. The constructions of the last few decades have led to the appearance of scattered remains of architecture under the current context, especially in the area known as Saheli Street and Shohada Street in the southern part of the city. In this direction and during the second season of extensive exploration of the historical context in 2022, the writers tried to identify the use and chronology of the uncovered architectural remains. Based on this, the main goal of the upcoming research is to determine the chronology of the historical architectural remains found in Qasr e Shirin with the help of archaeological analysis along with the use of thermoluminescence dating. Among the four excavation trenches, two brick samples from trenches I and III were selected and sent to the conservation and restoration research institute for the purpose of dating. The results of the research indicate that the exposed architectural remains belong to the 8th-9th centuries AH (Ilkhanid and Timurid periods); However, due to the incomplete and broken brick materials of the strong wall of Trench III and the rush to build it, it seems that older brick materials were used in the construction of the long and newer wall of the trench. For this purpose, the wall of Trench III was probably built or reused in the Qajar period; but its materials belong to the 8th-9th centuries AH.
