The discovery was made by a team of Iranian archaeologists working to save the ancient site, which is located near the runway of an airport currently under construction in Gorgan, Golestan Province.
Two men, a woman and another skeleton, whose gender is not clear due to damage caused over time, were unearthed, team director Qorban-Ali Abbasi said.
“Two pottery works containing bones of birds have also been discovered beside the skeletons,” he added.
In early October, the team unearthed two graves where pets were buried with their owners at the ancient site in northern Iran.
Narges-Tappeh covers an area of about 17,000 square meters. Archaeologists found traces of architecture, pottery, and a dozen other monuments and artifacts, some dating back to about 5000 BC, at the ancient site during the previous phase of excavations in 2004.
