  • Trade and Cultural Contacts Between Northern and Southern Persian Gulf During Parthians and Sasanians: a Study Based on Pottery from Qeshm Island
    Intl. J. Humanities (2011) Vol. 18 (2): (89-115) Trade and Cultural Contacts between Northern and Southern Persian Gulf during Parthians and Sasanians: A Study Based on Pottery from Qeshm Island Alireza Hojabri-Nobari 1, Alireza Khosrowzadeh 2, Seyed Mehdi Mousavi Kouhpar 3, Hamed Vahdatinasab 4 Received:21/9/2011 Accepted:3/1/2011 Abstract The first season of survey at Qeshm, carried out during the winter of 2006, resulted in the identification of nine sites from the Parthian and Sasanian periods. The surface pottery from these sites suggests their trade and cultural relations with contemporary sites in the southern Persian Gulf and other areas. For instance, the Parthian and Sasanian glazed types in Qeshm Island are closely related materials found from Khuzestan as well as northern and southern coasts of the Persian Gulf, including ed-Dur, Suhar, Kush, Failaka and Qalat Bahrain. Parthian painted ware reveals close similarities to monochrome and bichrome painted pottery of southeastern Iran, Oman coasts and the southern Persian Gulf, specifically ed-Dur, Suhar, Kush and Tel-i-Abrak. The so-called Indian Red Polished Ware is the other diagnostic type widespread in the northern and southern coasts of the Persian Gulf from the middle Parthian up to the Downloaded from eijh.modares.ac.ir at 11:47 IRDT on Monday August 31st 2020 early Islamic period. The material was being widely produced in the Indian region (Gujarat) and Indus, and exported to different places around the Persian Gulf. The Coarse Black Ware ( ceramic noir epaise ) with decorative raised bands recorded in Qeshm compares with coarse-black material from the southern Persian Gulf, also occurring at sites such as ed-Dur and Abu Dhabi Islands.

In this model, 33 functional groups including fish, benthos, phytoplankton, zooplankton, seaweed and detritus were simulated. In total, 3757 samples of stomach contents were analyzed based on the weight and numerical methods. Bony fish and crustacean were found to be the main prey in most of the stomach contents. The mean trophic level in the study area was calculated to be 3.08. The lowest trophic level was belonged to Liza klunzingeri, (2.50) and the highest belong to Trichiurus lepturus (4.45). The range of total mortality varied from 1.11 per year for T. Lepturus to 3.55 per year for Sillago sihama.

In comparison to other crustacean groups, brachyuran crabs have been well studied in the Arabian Gulf (=Persian Gulf) (Stephensen, 1946; Apel, 2001; Titgen, 1982; Naderloo and Sari, 2007; Naderloo and Türkay, 2012).

  • Iran Unbound: Retail and Consumer Goods Opportunities
    23 Sept 2016 Iran Unbound: Retail and Consumer Goods Opportunities Iran is the second-most-populous country in the Middle East, trailing only Egypt. With a population of almost 80 million that includes a large percentage of young people who are interested in imported goods, the country shows great buying potential following the removal of major international sanctions in January 2016. Iran is slowly being reintegrated into the global trade and financial system following the lifting of sanctions. Along with better access to the credit markets, a substantial amount of frozen assets has also been released to the Iranian government, providing it with the necessary capital to fund major overseas procurements to meet domestic needs and modernise many sectors. While industries such as energy and transport are the ones most likely to directly benefit from an increase in public spending, a spillover from public to private spending is also expected, creating business opportunities in Iran’s retail market in the post-sanctions era. A Promising Market for Consumer Goods During the sanctions period, the Iranian government focused on nurturing its domestic industries as major international companies and retail brands left the country. However, while domestic brands still dominate the sales of most consumer goods, especially those targeting the low-to-mid segments, these products often fall short of meeting the quality and standards of international brands, which appeal more to the middle-class and affluent Iranian consumers. With the lifting of major sanctions, Iran’s retail landscape is expected to undergo rapid changes to meet the increasing pent-up demand for authentic, high-quality imported goods, including electronics, telecom products and parts, watches and clocks, jewellery, clothing and other consumer products.

  • Marine and Coastal Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (Iccas) in the South of Iran and a Review of Related Laws
    Marine and Coastal Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs) in the South of Iran and a Review of Related Laws Razieh Ghayoumi The United Nations-Nippon Foundation Fellowship Programme 2013 - 2014 DIVISION FOR OCEAN AFFAIRS AND THE LAW OF THE SEA OFFICE OF LEGAL AFFAIRS, THE UNITED NATIONS NEW YORK DISCLAIMER The views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Government of Islamic Republic of Iran, the United Nations, the Nippon Foundation of Japan, or Saint Mary's University. © 2014 Razieh Ghayoumi. All rights reserved. 2 Abstract The new concept and yet the old one about conservation with the contribution of indigenous people and local communities has attracted many scientists’ attention. International conservation policies and programms recognize and support indigenous and community conserved areas and encourage all states to do the same. This thesis aimed to introduce marine and coastal Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas and the related laws, regulations and development plans thoroughly in Iran. The main focus of this thesis is on traditional conservation by local communities in Qeshm Island, located in Hormozgan province in south of Iran along the Persian Gulf. Through this study, it was concluded that indigenous people and local communities have an important role in governing protected areas and it is recommended to include them in conservation programms. 3 SUPERVISORS: Dr. Anthony Charles Dr. Francois Bailet Ms. Valentina Germani 4 Acronyms CBD Convention on Biological
