Abstract: (672 Views)
Bijar city is located at the highest point of the eastern Kurdistan province and in the connecting path between northwest and west of Iran. Research related to the Islamic era has rarely been conducted in this region; therefore, to fill this gap, the study of human habitats of this era plays a significant role in the reconstruction of regional and beyond regional interactions. The purpose of the current study is to investigate and identify deployment locations based on GIS analysis, understand the position of the region in the archaeological studies of western Iran, and identify the effective factors in the formation of sites and analysis of the deployment patterns. Based on the discovered pottery remainders, the spread of cultural traditions in the middle centuries of the Islamic era in the region shows that the inhabitants of these sites, mostly had local cultural connections both in this region and beyond it. The present study, with a descriptive-analytical approach, tries to respond to these questions: “What were the most important environmental factors in the formation of the sites in the middle century of the Islamic era in Bijar Garrus region? How was the deployment pattern of the region throughout the Islamic era, especially in the middle centuries? What concepts can be taken into account for the distribution of habitats?” Thus, this study played a crucial role in the field by examining the formation of the sites in terms of various variables such as height above mean sea level (AMSL), roads, direction and degree of land slope, proximity to the river, and height code. From the cultural point of view, the results show that the cultural materials represent the effects of neighboring areas. In this study, to obtain the deployment pattern of the region in the Islamic era, 82 sites were examined and align with the environmental variables, a specific statistical method for cluster analysis was used.
