The survey identified three major alluvial units that are roughly attributed to the Lower, Middle, and upper Pleistocene. Many of the findings are attributed to the Lower Pleistocene gravel layer that lies on a thick layer of sand. In an article, Thibaut published the results of a preliminary study of stone artifacts and their geological context in 1977.
The discovered collection was sent to the
On the basis of their geological contexts, this collection is more than 800,000 years old.[3] Thus, Kashfar Rud is one of the oldest human settlements in Iran. A number of stone tools discovered by Kashafrud are displayed in the Paleolithic Hall of the National Museum of Iran. See.
There are some collections of simple core and flake stone artifacts collected by C. Thibault in 1974–75. The tools are
