| The Espahabad Khorshid Cave, located in Savadkooh District, Mazandaran province, is a huge natural cavity that opens on the northern flank of Mount Lakamar, in the Khatir Kooh Valley, just above the River Talar. The cave has long been used as a natural refuge and during the Sasanian period it was the stronghold of the last ruler of Ṭabarestān. From the mid-1950s the cave has been visited and described by various professional and non professional archaeologists. Over the years, few scholars have paid attention to these ruins, although the site has always been visible because of its location. In general, the position of the cave and the arrangement of the internal architectural structures makes it impossible for casual visitors to gain access to the site, especially to the upper levels which can be reached only by expert climbers. The archaeological and architectural structures preserved in the cave (mostly from late Sasanian times and later periods) were systematically documented by a team of Iranian architects between 2008 and 2011. In 2015, with the permission of the Mazandaran Provincial authorities, a preliminary Iranian - Italian archaeological expedition started the systematic collection of data regarding architecture and artefacts. The study of the various classes of building materials has been initially focussed on the analysis of some timber structures in the eastern building complex. The remains of some wooden planks and beams were still in situ, roughly confined in the margins of the main walls. The preservation of the wood was excellent and has allowed detailed analysis of the wooden building material, and indirect analysis of the local environment. The wood used for these planks/beams was found to belong to two different species, Fraxinus sp. and Quercus sp., providing the first preliminary information on the use of the local wood resources. Further collection of structural timbers from the destroyed buildings will allow us to investigate ancient wood technology and the exploitation of the woodlands together with the history of human occupation of the Espahabad Khorshid Cave. | ||
