An Approach to Reading Components of Taq Bostan Cultural Landscape

A novel approach to interpreting the components of Taq Bostan's cultural landscape reveals its layered historical significance, blending architectural, environmental, and socio-cultural dimensions. The study deciphers the interplay between rock reliefs, water management systems, and religious symbolism, demonstrating how these elements collectively shaped the Sassanid-era landscape. By integrating archaeological analysis with geospatial and historical data, researchers uncover the site's adaptive reuse over centuries, offering new insights into its cultural and functional evolution. This method provides a model for studying similar heritage sites, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary analysis in understanding complex cultural landscapes.
