Visit 6,000-year-old grave goods at Iran’s Susa Museum

The Susa Museum in southwest Iran has been displaying a collection of 6,000-year-old grave goods.

The goods along with a 6,000-year-old female human skeleton were unearthed some three years ago at Tall Chegah-e Sofla, one of Khuzestan's largest prehistorical sites.

The grave goods includes a large copper basin, a copper jar, a hairpin, two marble bowls, a clay cup, a dagger, a large sword, and numerous knitting hooks.

The stone near her forehead is an evidence that she was an influential woman in her historical period.

Several archaeological surveys have been conducted on Tall Chegah-e Sofla, which have led to the discovery of several individuals and mass graves and many relics including pottery, ornamental objects, metalwork, bronze articles, and clay tablets to name a few.

In 2015, Susa (the modern-day city of Shush) was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.
