The discovery came while Jiroft's Regional Water Organization was digging a water canal next to a small fortress. Discovery of this grave which had already been looted in the ancient times resulted in identifying a unique and small cemetery. What makes this cemetery different compared to the other ones which have been discovered so far is the unique burial method implemented in it, so that the corpses were buried under a hard layer of lime. The burial gifts inside the graves indicate that the cemetery must have belonged to people from the higher stratum of the society," said Nader Soleimani, archeologist from the Cultural Heritage and Tourism Department of Kerman province during the Art and Archeology Symposium which was held by Iran's Academy of Art, supported by Iran's Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization.
