Oldest currency theory challenged by Iranian ingot finds
Archaeologists at Tappeh Nush-ijan on the Jowkar Plain near Pasargadae report silver ingots cut into foil and ring money dating 760 to 600 B.C. The hoard, unearthed under Dr. David Stronach of the British Institute of Persian Studies, suggests ingot currency circulated in the Iranian Plateau before Achaemenid coinage. They hope inscriptions may reveal more about the currency’s authority and form.

He hailed primatology as coming of age and urged breaking rigid departmental boundaries to advance knowledge. He noted behavior studies link feeding locomotion psychology and reproduction in primates and that humans are products of evolution with primatology offering insights into our nature.
