Comment: Sources 1 and 3, which between them support the majority of this draft (or at any rate, the majority of what is supported at all) are cited in a way which makes them all but impossible to verify. Non-English sources are acceptable, as are offline ones, but they must be cited with sufficient bibliographical detail to allow them to be reliably identified for verification purposes (see WP:OFFLINE for advice). They must also be published sources, and it isn't clear whether these two are. DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:31, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Subsequently local officials made contact with Ministry of culture and art, and the decision was made to dispatch a team of Iranian archaeologists under the lead of Ezzatollah Negahban. Excavations took place between 1965 to 1978 in 14 seasons. Amongst the findings tomb of Tapti-Ahar and a mass grave with skeletal remains of 23 people are the most prominent.[3][4]
In 1967 after a visit to the site, first lady Farah Pahlavi, a well known art and culture enthusiast, ordered construction of a museum in the vicinity of Haft Tappeh archaeological site. Museum commenced its operation on April 3rd 1973.[1][5]
Renovation
