Shir-e Shian (Šir-āšiān) is a prehistoric archaeological site, situated about 15 kilometres southwest of Damghan, Iran. The site was discovered by Erich Schmidt (1897–1964) in 1931 in a survey of the Damghan region. It was excavated in July 1932. Despite the presence of pottery fragments, excavation failed to find any remains of buildings. Two explanations have been suggested. One, by Schmidt, posits that the site was merely a temporary encampment; the other suggests that the site has been eroded, removing any constructions but leaving the surface pottery and shallow graves. Occupation appears to have been restricted to a relatively short period during the mid-5th century BCE. == References== * R. H. Dyson Jr. and C. P.
