Organizer in charge of Susa Castle Abbas Alizadeh maintained that one of the four previously-unknown and unique unearthed artifacts was an image of a cottage temple made out of straws inscribed on two seals belonging to Susa II period (3500 BCE). This kind of temple is known to have been built only in Mesopotamia and dedicated to Goddess Inanna.
The other unearthed artifact was a model of a clay yacht belonging to Susa I period (4400 BCE). This valuable object was discovered during the excavations at Akropol Hill.
This model of the clay yacht has now been reconstructed and is due to be unveiled at Susa Museum.
The third group of the discovered items from the Castle was a great number of inscribed seals belonging to Elamite Simashki period (1900-2100 BCE) and Sukkal-mah era (1600-1900 BCE).
The fourth artifact was a set of two large chests with Elamite inscriptions on them that were thought to be in Louvre Museum.
According to Alizadeh, other discovered items including pieces of pottery, intact earthenware, animal bones and stone wares are availble for Iranian and foreign researchers to be studied in their theses.
