Popis:	Dasht-e Lut (western edge of the Lut desert) presented an urbanized desertic landscape in the early Bronze Age.Previous investigations on the large early Bronze Age site of Shahdad, fully justified its definition as an advancedearly urban center. In 2011, a reconnaissance archaeological survey was carried out along the western edge ofthe Lut Desert resulting in identification of 87 sites.
