The Mokran district is divided into two main parts includes two cities, as Nikshahr in north and Chābahār in South lying along the northern beach of Oman Sea which has been of the most important cities of Mokran state for a long time commercially. Based on the study of 889 sherds taken from archaeological surveys in Nikshahr and Chābahār under the the supervision of Rouhollah Shirazi, the existing historical settlements indicates the splendor and glory of the region and show the significant presence of Iran in the beaches of Mokran Sea during the Parthian period.

According to the Statistical analysis reports of this results and comparing them to typical samples in Southern Baluchistan with adjacent regions, it can be said that beaches of southern Makkoran (Iranian Baluchistan) in Parthian period had extensive Cultural communications with adjacent regions over Persian Gulf beaches and Oman sea such as: U.A.E (Ed Dur, Sharjah, Dibba) , Oman (Suhar), Hormozgan in southwest and Pakistan in southeast as well.Southern Baluchistan so-called Mokran is a varied land naturally and geographically.

Three seasons of survey programs carried out from 2008 to 2011 in the Miankuh region in the southwest of Ardal County, which represents one of the most mountainous parts of the province, produced significant results. In particular, a total of 600 sites dating from the Paleolithic up to the Qajar period were recorded, of which nine belonged to the Neolithic period. The recorded Neolithic sites lie for the most part in Sar Khun and Holusa’d valleys. <br />The identified sites are mainly located in large and small valleys and on slopes.

Analysis of the Neolithic sites reveals that all of them were simply transient settlements, i.e. either was abandoned after this short period or was used for another short period. <br />The Neolithic pottery from this region, with little few similarities with materials from Mushki and Jari in Fars and Neolithic ceramics of Khuzestan, finds closest parallels among the assemblage from Qale Rustam, which probably has had a local origin.

The main question and aim of the survey was to identify and mapping of the Prehistoric sites and to survey and analysis their distribution pattern making the suitable condition for more precise and extensive archaeological investigations. As expected, however, the prehistoric potential was great and high, as 36 sites, including open-air site, Rock- shelter and Mound were identified and recorded; of them, 15 sites were attributed to the Prehistoric times( Pre-Pottery Neolithic to the Urbanization Period) of which, the Initial Urbanization and Urbanization sites being discussed. Generally, 6 sites are attributed to the Initial Urbanization and 9 sites to the Urbanization Period. The undertaken investigations have revealed the strong interaction with the Prehistoric societies of the Khuzestan, Deh Luran and Mesopotamia.

In this paper we studied the decoration motives of the Non-glazed potteries of Early Islamic Seymareh, clarifying their cultural interaction with adjacent Islamic cities. Aiming to do that, we studied each decoration by determining the cultural origin and continuity from its birth up to the Early Islamic period. Thus the direction of cultural interactions in the region and the relations between the decoration motives and use of pottery can be clarified. The study on the decoration of Early Islamic non-glaze pottery of Seymareh indicates that the long term cultural continuity has originated from prehistoric times to the Islamic period.
