Preliminary results of the surveys and excavations conducted in the highlands of Khuzestan (ancient Elymais) by the Iranian-Italian Joint Expedition in Khuzestan are here offered to Rémy Boucharlat for his constant support and help. These point to the existence of two mountainous sanctuaries in the region of the river Karun, at Kal-e Chendar and Qal-e Bardi, which can be compared for their features and importance to the well known terraces discovered at Majid-e Sulayman and Bard-e Nechandeh, but still remained almost unexplored up to now. Both have been located on the ground and surveyed by our expedition with the purpose of creating a geo-referenced, multi-layer and multi-temporal system in which the data acquired on the ground could be integrated with satellite imagery and previous cartography.

Abstract
Preliminary results of the surveys and excavations conducted in the highlands of Khuzestan (ancient Elymais) by the Iranian-Italian Joint Expedition in Khuzestan are here offered to Rémy Boucharlat for his constant support and help. These point to the existence of two mountainous sanctuaries in the region of the river Karun, at Kal-e Chendar and Qal-e Bardi, which can be compared for their features and importance to the well known terraces discovered at Majid-e Sulayman and Bard-e Nechandeh, but still remained almost unexplored up to now. Both have been located on the ground and surveyed by our expedition with the purpose of creating a geo-referenced, multi-layer and multi-temporal system in which the data acquired on the ground could be integrated with satellite imagery and previous cartography.
