Talk:Jiroft culture

message: The article uses 'aims to uncover an unknown "civilization" ', the word 'aims' gives me the impression that rather than drawing conclusions from what is actually there, this is some sort of nationalist project to come up with a civilzation for Iran that is as ancient as Sumer. If this is not the case, perhaps the inital paragraph should be rewritten. JamesFox 18:19, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Aims", because the task hasnt been easy. For example, many of the new sites were accidentally uncovered by a flood only a few years ago. The sites are so numerous that widspread looting has been taking place, and even the police was unable to fully protect the sites from archeological theft. The wording was a reference to that.--Zereshk 00:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't think the style has anything to do with Nationalism. It's probably badly phrased because of the excitement of the discovery. Wikipedia is not place for Nationalism, but if you see it creeping in then you are provided with ... the edit button. DJ Barney 01:04, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Odd Phrasing 

message: A discussion about this article has been started by dab  at the [Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard]],  at  I said there, that it would appear this entire article needs to be rewritten in an altogether different manner.  See: Science "Andrew Lawler, Ancient Writing or Modern Fakery?, Science 3 August 2007: Vol. 317. no. 5838, pp. 588 - 589.",  I have a copy, which I can send to anyone interested.DGG (talk) 03:09, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose it should be divided into a discussion of the individual sites excavated. The Konar Sandal discoveries are certainly very important, but Madjidzadeh's tall claims still appear to be rather over the top. All he acheived is making the scholarly community very skeptical of anything that comes out of his excavations. dab (𒁳) 12:54, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fringe theories

message: Ok, so this culture was highly dubious in 2004, based on a bunch of confiscated objects with no archaeological records, and a flurry of "latest news" of excavations reported by Iranian news sites. Four years have passed. What are the news? Anything academic? There was allegedly a "Jiroft International Seminar" in 2004, and the University of Pennsylvania was allegedly translating the proceedings for publication in English in 2006. Where are these proceedings? It seems to be impossible to track any publications following the skeptical comments by Lawler and Muscarella of 2003-04. Has the entire "Jiroft civilization" just been silently laid to rest since, to haunt us from the occasional nationalist crackpot blog, or are there still any publications in the pipeline? dab (𒁳) 11:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

message: If Sumerians invented writing about 3200 BCE and this culture is from the late 3rd millennium BCE, how could theirs be the earliest script? --ExperiencedArticleFixer (talk) 00:53, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Adjusted. Some Iranians believe these are even older than Sumer - a very minority view. Johnbod (talk) 01:17, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, they also believe that the culture is older than what the lead says, that's why. --ExperiencedArticleFixer (talk) 10:30, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
