The first achievements of the Jiroft Paleolithic study, which was carried out in order to complete the archeological map of Iran, indicate the existence of Middle Paleolithic and probably Old Paleolithic settlements in the Halilrood basin.
According to the ECO Cultural Institute, quoting the Public Relations of the Cultural Heritage and Tourism Research Institute, Salman Anjumrooz, head of the Archaeological Board in the area, said: The purpose of assessing the distribution of human groups during the Pleistocene (2) from the southern parts of the Persian Gulf to the Iranian plateau is ongoing.
