Archaeobotany is one of the interdisciplinary sciences in archaeology. Archaeobotany studies plant remains in archaeological contexts. Based on plant findings, it discusses topics such as people's livelihood, agriculture, vegetation, climate changes, dating, etc. So, this course can reply to many questions archaeologists face about an ancient site and people. In recent years, archaeologists have paid a lot of attention to this field and tried to use experts in excavations. One of the excavations that has paid a lot of attention to archaeobotany, is Feyzabad site. This site has Islamic periods. During the excavation in 2022 in this site, some ovens were found, as well as some samples from them. In this research, we intend to answer questions such as the functioning of the sampled ovens and the identification of plant remains in the ovens. Finally, by combining the information found, we will shed light on the lives of the people of this period. By doing this research, our information about the life of the people belonging to this area, their livelihood and the common types of plant remains used in this area will increase. Also, micro information about climatic conditions will be obtained. After carrying out the necessary investigations and research, it was found that the ovens found in the trench D8 are related to cooking to the inner part of the royal citadel. Besides the more specialized work that is being done, animal husbandry and agriculture are popular. Some climate changes such as warmer weather and less humidity were also identified

The intracotinental Qom- ARAN depression basin is located in the central Iran zone and correlated with its tectonic environment. Some of the depression basins such as Qom- ARAN, Aredstan- Yazd and Rafsanjan- ZARANd basins show NW-SE trend and are located between two subordinate uplifted subzones of the central Iran zone (mid triangle subzone in the north and Urumiyeh-Dokhtar volcanic belt in the south). From Urumiyeh- Dokhtar magmatic subzone toward middle parts of central Iran zone, There are various subordinate trends and morphostructures, Probably due to the affected stress and the reflection of brittle behaviour of the central Iranian crystalline basement, that have produced faulted and rotated blocks with different forms and dimensions as well as the compexity of the morphostructures. Therefore, In the Qom-ARAN depression basin, there are three structural trends, NW-SE, SW (Davazdah Emam-Narreh khar kuh fault) NNW- SSE (Qom-Raband Zefreh - fault) and NE-SW (MARANjab fault) .During the Neogene, spreading of the Red Sea and movement of Arabian Plate to the north produced compressional stress in the Iranian platform. Strike- slip movenents of Central Iranian blocks caused some local extensional movements, such as a long the bended part of Qom- Zefreh fault, and as a result the Qom- ARAN pull - a part basin was formed. In the later phases a huge amount of continental facies sediments of the Upper Red Formation and related M1, M2 and M3 members deposited in this basin. The above mentioned deposits are originated by erosion of surrounding uplifted areas. The latter form reliefs which bounded mainly with reverse fault are located in the margin of the Qom-ARAN depression basin. In the late Neogene the continuation of the Red Sea spreading and related compressional stress to the north, caused an anticlock rotational movement of the Qom-ARAN block. According to this structural evolution some NE-SW trends (MARANjab Fault) are activated so that, the trend of MARANjab Fault shows 75 degree divergence to the Qom-Ravand - Zefreh faults ternd. All structural evidences indicate an extentional movement along the bended parts of the Qom-Ravand - Zefreh strike - slip fault and consequently the formation of the Qom-ARAN pull- apart basin. On the other hand, the folding of Upper Red Formation deposits with axial NW-SE (Alborz and Sarajeh anticline) and E-W trends (Qaleh Sadar Anticline) in the border of Qom- ARAN depression indicate the limitation of basin dimension due to the oblique convcergence of southern sub- block in eastern part of the depression which has proouced a narrow folded area in the Qaleh Sardar area. The above mentioned rotational movements are in agreement with geophysical and microseismic data, and resulted the structural subdivisions of the area into active (MARANjab) - Passive (Yakhab), captured (Daryacheh-ye -Namak) and isolated (daryacheh-ye - Hozsoltan) blocks.

Background: Considering the importance of adolescents’,health and that the 1st step in designing a comprehensive health plan is to assess the needs of the target group, this study was conducted to determine the health needs of adolescents in ARAN va Bidgol City, Iran. Methods: This Cross-sectional-analytical study was performed on 497 students (265 girls and 232 boys) aged 12-18 years studying in one of the 1st and second-grade high schools in ARAN va Bidgol City in 2016. The sampling method was clustering. The data collection tool used in this study was the adolescent health needs questionnaire which was a standard and psychometric instrument by Iranian culture. Data were analyzed using SPSS software, version 16 using descriptive statistics and a Chi-square test at a significance level of 0. 05. Results: Participants in the study were 53. 30% girls and 46. 70% boys. The Mean±, SD score of students’,health needs in order of priority included nutrition (22. 09±, 3. 80), physical activity (10. 19±, 2. 90), health education services (64. 30±, 15. 90), healthy communication with parents (44. 60±, 7. 60), personal hygiene (21. 10±, 2. 71), mental health and counseling services (52. 50±, 7. 90) and spiritual health (21. 90±, 3. 70). Girls felt more of the need of healthy communication with their parents and boys in the area of personal hygiene. Conclusion: By the results of this study, communication between parents and children, healthrelated educational needs, personal hygiene, sleep, and spiritual health are some crucial issues that should be followed up in adolescents.

Nowadays, social scientists pay a lot of attention to the cultural capital of societies and its role in the use of cultural commodities. The basic aim of this paper was to investigate the links between or the interaction of social identity and social capital on the one hand and cultural capital on the other hand in the population of the study. In this social Survey study, data were collected using questionnaires and interview techniques. The measurement scale and its reliability and validity for use with the research variables were checked using Cronbach’s alpha. A survey of all people between 15 to 65 years in Kashan and ARAN in 1390 was performed, 760 of whom were selected using Cochran’s formula. Results of Pearson Product Correlation coefficient analyses showed significant positive correlations between the variables of social capital and economic and social aspects of cultural capital.

Vigol Archaeological Site is one of the largest historic-Islamic sites in Isfahan province with an area of about 450 hectares. In addition to the existence of immovable structures such as architectural structures, a significant volume of pottery that scattered on surface of this ancient site can be seen in this area. The present study, while being aware of the importance of the site and its pottery data, especially in the early and middle centuries of Islam, only considers the study of Sassanid pottery in this area. Accordingly, at first, the question arises as to the typological status and classification of Sassanid pottery in the Vigol area and to how its pottery forms can be compared with other Sassanid sites? Also, what is the variety of decorations used in the pottery of this area? For this purpose, from the total amount of pottery collected in the systematical study and networking of the site in 2007, 98 pieces of Sassanid Vigol pottery were selected in order to answer the above questions and studied in detail. The research method of this paper is descriptive-analytical. Thus, first the description of the site is explained and then the typology, classification and chronology are given. The results of this study showed that the mentioned data only included of simple and unglazed species. Formally, these potteries includes a variety of bowls, bins, jars, vats, pots, flat, trays, lids, and handles, which with other Sassanid areas of the west, northeast, south and center of the plateau Iran is comparable. In terms of decorations, the pottery of this area shows various examples such as additional decoration, excised, engraved decoration, impressed decoration, and combined decoration types. However, what is very significant in the decorations of Sassanid Vigol pottery is the variety of decorative stamped designs, which indicates the prevalence of a local tradition in creating such designs.

By identifying the removal areas the reasons can be identified instead of addressing the causes, And focused on executive activities in the harvesting areas And for this, the identification of sediments is particular importance In this paper, with the aim of better understanding and interpreting sedimentary samples, Investigating and analyzing the distribution of sediments in the facies of the study area has been investigated. For this purpose, after sampling of surface soil and preparation of samples, The drying procedure was performed according to A. S. T. M standard in 8 classes, which was smaller than 64 microns to 4000 microns. By entering the data into Gradistat software, statistical parameters such as mid-diameter, skewness and sample sorting were calculated based on the Fulc's comprehensive drawing method. The results of the study showed that the particle sorting is between 0. 8 and 0. 3, which confirms the near-average spacing distance from the harvesting area to the sediment accumulation point. The results of the particle tilting index are in the median vein facies, agricultural lands, agriculture, and sandy areas with symmetrical pebble cover. In other facies, the index is tilted towards fine particles. In the facies of the Rigi plain, the puffy lands and the permafrost shells of the wear coefficient classes are between 0-200 and then fully angled and the particles are transported from a distance. In the rest of the facies, the wear coefficients are between 200 to 400, in which case the particles are semi-angled and the particles are transported from a relatively distant distance.

Introduction: Old urban textures are among the most invaluable and precious cultural heritages, which attest to a grand and honorable civilization. Nowadays, historic and old areas are, mostly, afflicted with natural erosion resulting from the passage of time, presence of humans and its concomitant factors. Gradually, these textures are frayed and paying attention to the ancient structures of old cities, planning for keeping, reviving and organizing their fundamental framework can be conducive to the survival of a city. The first aim of the present study is to answer the question concerning the extant potentials and limitations of cultural, economic and physical development of old texture and the strategies and solutions leading to a comprehensive and sustainable development.

Investigation and research on contemporary carpets is a vital and original perception of "identity" problem and relevant expressions with time and environment is certainly not an easy task. As we deal with some general concepts such as identity, the research literature is often directed to complex and philosophical issues. In the study of cultural encounters and interactions in Ardabil carpets it can be seen that an unbalanced process in social-artistic relations with some style-owned and dynamic cities in the last half century has caused that its simplicity and originality be affected and apparent contradictions can be observed. This paper is a comparative study of 36 samples of carpets from "ARAN, Azerbaijan" and "Ardabil" to explore the concept of identity in both traditional and contemporary works, and find the reason for lack of identity via leaving common native identity for reproduced exotic identities.

The aim of forming the Islamic Democratic Party of Mosavat in Baku was to establish a large Islamic state under the leadership of Asia Minor Turks. This party announced the independence of part of Caucasus under the title of Independent Republic of Azerbaijan in Ramadan of 1336 AH- Tir of 1297 Hijri Shamsi, June, 1918. After the collapse of Mosavat Party and dominance of Bolsheviks over Causasus, Bolsheviks preserved the name of Azerbaijan for that territory and that state was named Soviet Socialist Republic of Azarbaijan, while that land was never called Azerbaijan, while that land was never called ARAN.It seems that naming part of Caucasus that is ARAN, as Azerbaijan in the future could become a pretext for the statesmen on the other side of Aras River to claim that Azerbaijan has been divided into two parts and if possible, fulfill their territorial intentions about Azerbaijan.This move become fruitful with the formation of Democratic Party of Azerbaijan in Tabriz led by Seyed Jafar Pishevari who was openly supported by Mir Jafar Bagherof president of Soviet Azerbaijan and Moscow leaders and revealed its true nature.The heads of the party were preparing to separate Azerbaijan from Iran. But calculated measures taken by Ahmad Ghavam AI-Saltaneh prime minister of Iran at that time who made use of political conditions, prepared the grounds for evacuating Soviet Red Army forces from Iran and eventual disintegration of the Democratic Party of Azerbaijan.
