    Report

    In early 2007. surface survey, geophysical analysis and excavations were carried out at the site of Qaleh Kali (Tappeh Servan/Jinjun), in the Mamasani District of Fars. The excavations revealed that multiple phases of occupation are preserved at the site, the earliest of which appears to have been a sizeable élite structure that may in fact have had a royal clientele, as suggested by the presence of monumental Persepolis-style column bases and the quality of the fragments of tine glass and polished stone vessels discovered in the excavations. Although it has not yet been identified with any certainty, it is likely that Qaleh Kali is mentioned in the Persepolis Fortification Texts.
