GAZETTEER and South West Iran My current interest is presently, but not limited to, below lat. 29.5° N in the provinces of Bushehr, Fars and Kerman, and the western half of Hormozgan with particular interest in and about Lar and southwards. Primarily looking at place names and toponyms and providing their text usage in references / sources. Includes archaeological sites, caravanserai, cisterns, chahar taqs, routes and streams of interest but is not comprehensive. I would like to receive any corrections and/or comments on what I have published here through the contact in the above banner. |
