Javad Alaei-Moqaddam, director of the group conducting archeological excavations, said the group seeks to determine the settlement eras, demarcate the precincts of Achaemenid period and identify Brass era evidence, Tehran-based English newspaper, Iran Daily, wrote.
Alaei-Moqaddam added that the brick-made Kulak Castle Hill is located 22 km north of Zabol.
The archeologists started by cutting a trench two meters by five meters in the northernmost part of the site.
"We found archeological and cultural relics at a depth of 320 cm. In the first phase, a wall with bricks similar to the Sassanid era was discovered. The second phase revealed a room,” he said.
"A portico pertaining to the second settlement era was identified in the third phase. And finally, a complex architecture with unclear structures was identified in the fourth phase.”
Alaei-Moqaddam noted that potteries and earthenware account for a majority of cultural items found at the site.
Alaei-Moqaddam further said Islamic potteries belonging to Qajar and Middle Islamic eras, as well as Sassanid earthenware, make up the other findings.
"Apart from conducting excavation operations at the site of Kulak Castle Hill, the group identified 112 other sites,” he said.
