These areas were certainly important in the first millennium BCE, during Neo‐Elamite kingdoms which correspond to the period of the penetration of Iranian populations. The meeting of these populations created an acculturation which is called the “Persian ethno‐genesis,” from which later emerged the Achaemenid dynasty (Briant 1984; Miroschedji 1985; Henkelman 2008; Álvarez‐Mon and Garrison 2011). But the terms of this acculturation remain poorly known due to the lack of archeological evidence. For the first half of the sixth century BCE, only few graves of the elite were found incidentally, one in Arjān, near the town of Behbehān (Álvarez‐Mon 2010), and another in 2007 near the town of Ram Hurmuz, to the west in the plain, whose luxurious furniture is still very little known (see Chapter 27). For the Achaemenid period, column bases show the existence of elite or royal residences. As an example, 5 of 18 column bases, belonging to a pillared hall of an Achaemenid palace or pavilion, were discovered near Ram Hurmuz in 2009.
