Archaeological research since 2005 have discovered a section of the [[ ==Archaeology==
Prior to [[Sivand Dam]] being completed in 2007, rescue archaeology was conducted in the area.
In May 2005, archaeologists unearthed a complete human skeleton at one of the excavation sites, thought to date back to the [[Sassanid]] era (224-651). The skeleton, found in a [[squatting position]], is of an adult man. An [[earthenware]] item was also found at this site which is considered to be the largest ancient earthenware of its kind ever found in Iran. In April 2006 this find was overshadowed by the discovery of the 7000-years old skeleton of a young woman dating from the [[Tell-i Bakun]] Era (the fifth and fourth millennia BC) by a joint Iranian-German team of archaeologists in the same area. The archaeologists further found eight stone beads with the skeleton close to her wrists and neck. "The girl was buried while sleeping on her side and bending her legs with arms under her head like the sleep position of most children", according to the head of the team.<ref>Cultural Heritage News Agency, 26 April 2006, [http://www.chnpress.com/news/?section=2&id=6340 ''Disturbing a 7000-Year-Old Girl’s Nap in Bolaghi Gorge''].</ref><ref>Cultural Heritage News Agency, 30 April 2006, [http://www.chnpress.com/news/?section=2&id=6344 ''7000-Year-Old Mass Grave Discovered in Bolaghi Gorge''].</ref>
