Samran Asiabani
Samran has made significant contributions to several historic and prehistoric research projects. In the historic preservation, contributed significantly to the Emarat-e-Khosrov palace, Negar fire temple and Takht-e Soleyman UNESCO world heritage site all belong to the Sasanid era (224-651 CE), Anahita Temple belong to Parthian era (250 B.C. 226 A.D.), and Urmia archaeological Museum.
In prehistoric projects, participated in the Mariwan Archaeological Survey searching for human settlements of the last 10,000 years ago, Bawa Yawan cave and rock shelter complex with evidence of Neanderthal settlement (ca. 80,000 years ago), and Shoupari Cave, and Eskouldar Rockshelter belong to at least 70,000 years ago.
He has co-authored several publications, including "Evidence of Neanderthal Resilience from Forty-five to Thirty-nine Thousand Years Ago at the Bawa Yawan Rockshelter" and "Early Upper Palaeolithic occupation at Gelimgoush cave." Samran's research expertise and passion for heritage preservation are evident in his work and make him a valuable asset to the field of archaeology and heritage conservation.

environments. The Iranian Plateau in southwestern Asia lies at the crossroads between Africa, Europe, Central
Asia, and the Far East, and therefore, has contributed substantially to the history of hominin migration. On the
Iranian Plateau, the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition is a puzzling phase that lacks chronological precision
and stratified archaeological materials. The timing and geographical context of this transition are essential for
understanding the spread of modern humans and their interactions with other species, including the Neanderthals.
Sorheh Rockshelter in the southern piedmonts of the Alborz Mountains on the northern Iranian Plateau is a
newly discovered site on high altitude of 1903 m asl., with the potential to answer some of these questions. In
2019 and 2022, excavations at Sorheh revealed distinct hominin behavioural and settlement systems, falling
under the description of the Initial Upper Palaeolithic in the Levant, eastern Europe, Siberia, and Mongolia. In
the chronological window covered at Sorheh (~50–35 ka), the Upper Palaeolithic cultures had already been
developed in other regions of the Iranian Plateau. The new data we obtained from Sorheh determines, for the first
time, a physiogeographic, chronostratigraphic, and anthropogenic picture of the Initial Upper Palaeolithic on the
Iranian Plateau, filling the gap in the distribution of this techno-complex between the Levant and eastern Eurasia.
Deciphering the Initial Upper Palaeolithic in Sorheh indicates the complex and diverse nature of hominin behaviours
during the transitional Middle-Upper Palaeolithic phase and reveals the critical role of the northern
Iranian Plateau in hominin expansion towards Central Asia.
