TEHRAN – A team of local restores has started working on relics, which have so far been excavated from a ruined fortress in Yel Suyi, northwestern Ardebil province.

The relics that are in both metal and earthen forms will go on display at an archaeology museum after being rehabilitated, Karim Lotfi, a provincial tourism official, said on Tuesday, CHTN reported. 

“Restoration processes are being carried out in accordance with the defined principles and instructions…. And up to the moment, work on 80 objects has been completed.”

Last month, an Iron Age tomb was unearthed in Yel Suyi during a survey aimed to probe history of the ancient site.

Located in Germi county, Yel Suyi is mostly associated with the early Islamic era.
