| Abstract: | Pasargadae complex had been the main center of Persian history during the Achaemenian period (560–330 bc), registered as one of the world heritage sites by UNESCO in 2004. This research is an attempt to recognize the natural setting
and landscape of Pasargadae during the Achaemenian period, in Iran. The method is based on the application of a multi-layer
technique. Collected data by fieldwork, especially in geology, hydrology, and hydrogeology, along with the analysis of aerial
data and satellite information provided the baseline information for preparing historic and environmental layers and have
made it possible to recognize a natural lakelet in the this area. The results show that the geometry of lakelet together with
the ancient river of Pasargadae had been the main elements that formed the character of the site; they were also important
in the locations of buildings in the Pasargadae complex. |
