. This collection includes 4 petroglyphs. It is believed that the number of petroglyphs is much higher, as many of them have been destroyed by human and natural factors or are unidentifiable. These petroglyphs include two male mountain goats with long horns and linear bodies, shown in detail and moving westward. On the opposite side, two hunters with bows are shown shooting at goats. These two archers are standing and pulling the bow string. The bows in their hands are curved and the two ends to which the string is tied are turned outwards. These bows were common only in the central Zagros region. Despite the similarities in shape and size with Assyrian and Elamite bows, they are different. Based on the investigations, it is believed that the origin of this type of bow is from Ilam, which has become endemic in this region. This area was the residence of Kassite tribes and clans, according to historians, were warriors and Archers. The chronology of these petroglyphs is based on the bows in the hands of hunters, which belong to the Iron Age III and contemporary with the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Elamite periods. After survey the petroglyphs, we also investigated the tribe way. But don't succeed in finding other petroglyphs. In general, in this article, we have studied and compared the petroglyphs, especially the bow in the petroglyphs as a source of chronology. The end, have tried to provide a conclusion of them.
