Although many archeologists believed that the area was not older than the Iron Age, Carbon 14 studies dated the mound to more than 6000 years ago. 
Former Archeological excavations had yielded numerous caves, havens and ancient sites, which showed the historical evolution of human life.  There are still five more meters to reach the site's oldest stratums and future stratigraphy projects will most possibly date the mound to an older time. 
Located in Iran's northern Mazandaran Province, Kelar Mound is one of the country's most important sites which can reveal many archeological facts about the southern Coast of the Caspian Sea. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7243BAE1-B5FB-45B5-8519-886DBA2FADDE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
