Historical gravestones provide valuable data for archaeological research, enabling insights into various aspects of past societies. The present study investigates the Qajar-period gravestones located in the Pirbadin Cemetery. Drawing upon archaeological evidence—including these tombstones—it is possible to recognize the significance of the village of Pirbadin during the Qajar era. To date, no systematic study has been conducted on the Pirbadin Cemetery; therefore, examining its Qajar gravestones can demonstrate that Pirbadin held considerable importance in the Mokrian region from the reign of Fath-Ali Shah to the era of Naser al-Din Shah. The Qajar gravestones of the Pirbadin Cemetery are chronologically and morphologically comparable to other historical gravestones in the cemeteries of Mokrian. This article seeks to answer the following questions: Who were the notable individuals buried in this cemetery, and what roles or positions did they hold in the history of the Gurk-Mokri region? Furthermore, what cultural and social insights of the period can be derived from studying the literary inscriptions and the rich variety of motifs carved on these stones? Based on fieldwork and library research, the findings indicate that these gravestones belong to politically prominent members of the Mokri tribe. Moreover, the iconographic elements present on the gravestones shed light on the political, social, and religious events of Pirbadin during the Qajar period.
