Abstract
The ancient site of Lalar is a large remnant of an urban context from the Sassanid period to the beginning of Islam, which was registered in the list of national monuments in 1309 and shortly after the approval of the antiquities law, which is definitely a sign of the importance of this valuable fifteen-hectare site. The rescue excavation of Lalar was carried out due to the flooding of the Seimare dam. The results of the investigation showed that the architectural of Lalar was built with limestone materials immersed in plaster mortar, which is consistent with the stylistic characteristics of the buildings of the late Sassanid and early Islamic periods. The main purpose of this research is to introduce and evaluate the function and age of the historical context and provide a new perspective on the stylistic characteristics of late Sassanid architecture in the western region of Iran. The most important question of this research is the reason for the formation and development of this city on the banks of the Seimare river without access to the main roads and natural passages of the region in a mountain valley. The more important question is what is the quality of the building and its relationship with other contemporary sites in the region? The results of the research confirm the discovery of a residential building with common materials in the region. The most important common finding of Lalar with other contemporaneous sites in western Iran, in addition to architectural remains, is the presence of standard pottery types of this period.
, in this article, we will introduce a part of the residential context of the7th to 9th centuries based on the results of the excavations carried out in the region. According to historical information, after the collapse of the Sassanid dynasty in the middle of the 8th century AD,
