« Djahrom, welches man über die nördliche der beiden möglichen Routen bei km 210 erreicht, ist heute noch wie in safavidischer Zeit für seine Dattelproduktion berühmt, vom alten Kern der Stadt und besonders von den Kara- vanserails hat sich allerdings bis heute nichts erhalten. Besonders bedauerlich ist das Ver- schwinden des alten Basars von Djahrom, der nach Orta Rebelo genauso schön und groß wie der Basar von Lar gewesen sein soll. Dabei muß noch 1850 eine ganze Anzahl von Kara- vanserails in Djahrom existiert haben, Abbott nennt nicht weniger als sechs Stück für dieses Jahr, Kaempfer nennt ein großes Karavan- serail Shah Hossein", ebenso erwähnen Taver- nier, Chardin und Dupré mehrere Kara- vanserails in Djahrom, wobei auffällt, daß fast alle Reisenden darauf hinweisen, daß sich diese Bauten ein wenig westlich und aufßerhalb der eigentlichen Siedlung befinden. [Djahrom, which can be reached via the northern of the two possible routes at km 210, is still famous for its date production today, as it was in Safavid times, but nothing of the old core of the city and especially of the caravanserails has survived to this day. The disappearance of the old bazaar of Djahrom, which according to Orta Rebelo was just as beautiful and large as the bazaar of Lar, is particularly regrettable. In 1850, a large number of caravanserails must have existed in Djahrom; Abbott mentions no fewer than six for that year, Kaempfer mentions a large caravanserail "Shah Hossein", and Tavernier, Chardin and Dupré also mention several caravanserails in Djahrom, and it is striking that almost all travelers point out that these buildings are located a little to the west and outside the actual settlement.] » #3206 Pohanka, R, Karawanenwege und Karavanserails in Laristan: Die Strassenabschnitte Lar-Djahrom, Lar-Khundj and Lae-Bastak., Archäologische Mitteilungen aus Iran, 1984 vol. 17:pp. 285-308 ~ p. 297

SOURCE for Gowaym
« Gowaym - Attestations: The mint signature GW/GWDMY is thought to be representative of the town of Gowaym in Fars (40). Although the location of the mint with this signature in Fars has been confirmed through die linkages, the question of its identification with Gowaym has not yet been proven. On the other hand, two localities with this name are located in Fars, one in Ardashir Khurrah, northeast of Shiraz, which is called Guyom today, and the other one in Darabgerd, now referred to as Jowaym. However, based upon its importance in the early Islamic period, as well as its location along the major caravan routes, Mochiri has suggested that the Jowaym of Darabgerd was the mint town with the GW signature (41).- Identification: The modern town of Jowaym (Jowaym of Darabgerd Khurrah) is located 69 km southeast of Jahrom (42). Remains of a Sasanian fire temple, pointing to the existence of a Sasanian settlement in this area, are located about 40-50 km from Jowaymnear the village of Fishur (43).

Thévenot remarks on the "large Karvanseray" and the town "on all hands encompassed with gardens full of palm-trees, which there are so numerous and grow so near one another, that they make a great forrest." Struys says of "Scharim" that it stood in the middle of a grove "altogether of date-trees," and was "a town of consider- able traffic in cotton goods, "there being very many weavers." Hedges also found that "Jarroon affords plenty of all things for the use of a traveller in these parts." Le Bruyn who stayed at Jahrûm two days in 1705 (II, 66), has an illustration of the city, "which is very mean and looks more like a village, the houses being all built of earth, and separate from one another. I saw two or three poor little mosques, in which they were performing service. As this city is full of palm-trees, it looks at a distance like a wood.

I cannot imagine how people made a shift to travel that way, before Imanculi Chan (of whom somewhat hath been said elsewhere, who was so cruelly put to death with all his children, by Schach Sefi) caus'd it to be repaired, with incredible expence, when at this day a man cannot pass, but in great danger of his life, by reason of the uneven and narrow wayes, between steepy mountains on the one side, and dreadful precipices on the other; where I very narrowly avoided a mis-fortune, which happens there very often. For my Horse's hoof, which I was leading by the bridle, being fill'd with snow, he stumbled upon me, forc'd me out of the way, so as that had I not caught hold of a wild Almond tree, which happened to be there, as it were by miracle, I had there ended both my travel and life, in the precipices. I lodg'd at night in a Caravansera, where I had a house over my head; but that was all, for there was neither provender for my horses, nor any thing for my self and my servants to eat. » #3669 Adam Olearius, Johann Albrecht von Mandelslo, John Davies, The Voyages and Travells of the Ambassadors Sent by Frederick, Duke of Holstein, to the Great Duke of Muscovy and the King of Persia, J.

SOURCE for Chah-Talkh karavansaray
« From Jahrum to the karavansaray of Chah-Talkh, which was the first stop, it was six farsakhs. Speelman considered Chah-Talkh had been correctly named, for it was a bad, dilapidated place that was indeed a "bitter well". Thevenot, however, averred that the ChahTalkh karavansaray was small and good, standing isolated in a valley, near to which were two cisterns, one covered with a dome and the other with a pitched roof. The well near the karavansaray was bitter, hence the locality's name. Tavernier confirms this and adds that the place abounded with bitter almond and turpentine trees. There were also rähdärs who offered deer for eating, since there were many of these. The area also abounded with partridges as big as chickens. Hedges recorded that it had a spacious karavansaray with plenty of good, fresh water and provisions, but Chardin considered it a miserable place with bad water. Rich people, he wrote, took sweet water with them in goatskins or large copper flasks, in which the water remained cool. Next to the karavansaray was another one, which was partly in ruins in 1685. According to Fryer, the karavansaray was a new and ample one, with a new cistern with only slightly bitter water. It had two new and two old cisterns in 1691. LeBrun wrote that the karavansaray was a comfortable one.(93)

Its ruins and its impregnable location can now be seen to cover the entire summit. It had a very large square and was spacious enough to defend a large number of people. In the center of the square was an extremely deep cistern.

« Verläßt man Biris auf der Straße Richtung Djahrom vorbei am Imamzadeh Ahmad ebn-e Muhammad Hanafie, so erreicht man nach der Überquerung eines Passes mit einer bereits von Tavernier bemerkten ausgedehnten Sperranlage eine weite Ebene, in deren ungefährem Zentrum nahe dem Dorf Ahmadabad bei km 68 ein Karavanserail von rechteckigem Grundriß liegt (Abb. 6; Taf. 31,3). Der Bau besteht aus vier quadratischen Kammern, welche sich nach außen öffnen und die von einem kreuzförmigen Gang getrennt werden, wobei der Kreuzungspunkt mit einer Kuppel überwölbt ist, Gänge und Kammern weisen flache Spitztonnengewölbe auf. An zwei Seiten der Anlage sind Ställe angebaut, welche über die ganze Breite des Bauwerkes laufen. Das Karavanserail, welches heute etwa zwei Kilo- meter südlich der modernen Straße und etwas versteckt liegt, entspricht in der Form einer ganzen Reihe ähnlicher Bauten, die Gaube an der Strecke Bandar Abbas-Lar aufgenommen hat, wobei der Grundriß hier noch durch die seitlich angefügten Ställe ergänzt wird. Das Karavanserail dürfte um 1665 schon bestanden haben, da Thèvenot und später Kaempfer zwischen Biris und Benaru ein Karavanserail Dehra" nennen, in dem ein Rahdar-Posten zur Steuererhebung untergebracht war; Dupré nennt an dieser Stelle ein Karavan- serail Kholé (27). fn. 27 Dupré11 1 447. [If you leave Biris on the road towards Djahrom, past the Imamzadeh Ahmad ebn-e Muhammad Hanafie, you will reach a wide plain after crossing a pass with an extensive barrier already noted by Tavernier, in the approximate center of which, near the village of Ahmadabad at km 68, there is a caravanserai with a rectangular ground plan (Fig. 6; Pl. 31,3). The building consists of four square chambers that open outwards and are separated by a cross-shaped corridor, with the crossing point vaulted with a dome. The corridors and chambers have flat pointed barrel vaults. Stables are attached to two sides of the complex, which run across the entire width of the building. The caravanserail, which today lies about two kilometers south of the modern road and somewhat hidden, corresponds in form to a whole series of similar buildings that Gaube recorded on the Bandar Abbas-Lar route, whereby the ground plan here is supplemented by the stables attached to the side. The caravanserail must have existed as early as 1665, since Thèvenot and later Kaempfer mention a caravanserail called "Dehra" between Biris and Benaru, in which a Rahdar post for tax collection was housed; Dupré mentions a caravanserail called Kholé at this point (27). fn. 27 Dupré11 1 447.] » #3240 Pohanka, R, Karawanenwege und Karavanserails in Laristan: Die Strassenabschnitte Lar-Djahrom, Lar-Khundj and Lar-Bastak., Archäologische Mitteilungen aus Iran, 1984 vol. 17:pp. 285-308 ~ p. 293

Ce fut dans ce même carvansera que Monsieur Thévenot, l'un des plus illustres voyageurs de notre siècle', se blessa fort dangereu- sement, un de ses pistolets qu'il avait demandés à son valet pour les mettre auprès de lui sur le matelas où il était couché, s'étant malheu- reusement lâché et lui ayant percé la cuisse, de quoi il fut presque en termes de mourir. [On the twenty-sixth, I set out at one o'clock after midnight, and walked until nine o'clock in the morning, partly in the plain and partly between the mountains, in which I saw an old tower which was to guard the passage. I stayed in Bihri, a small town built on the corner of a plain which leads to a high mountain. The carvansera is new and built quite magnificently by the mother of Aimas, kan of Lar, the great Cha-Abas having taken that country from the Guèbres whom he forced to become Mohammedans. It was in this same carvansera that Monsieur Thévenot, one of the most illustrious travelers of our century, seriously injured himself, one of his pistols which he had asked his valet to place near him on the mattress. where he was lying, having unfortunately let go and pierced his thigh, from which he almost died.] » #3144 Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, Pascal Pia, Voyages en Perse et description de ce royaume par Jean-Babtiste Tavernier Marchand Francais, E´d. du Carrefour, Paris, 1930 ~ pp. 316-7

« The road to Shiraz from Lar vid Jahrum leads over some steep ridges, past a serai known as Pusht-i-Sangar. Long lines of heaped-up stones in the vicinity enggest the derivation of the name; in all probability these defences are a relic of the Baluch raids stated by Sykes to have taken place in 1810.

« The invasion of Persia by the Afghans in 1721-22 was accompanied by an incursion of Baluchis from Makran into Kirman and Lar, where they committed serious depredations. In November 1721 the Baluchi hordes attacked the town of Lar, and in particular a caravansarai occupied by twelve Dutchmen who were escorting treasure of the Dutch East India Company; but the Hollanders beat off the attack with great loss to their assailants and with none to themselves, and subsequently, having removed into the Lår fort, defended that also with success. » #660 Lorimer, John Gordon, Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf, Oman and Central Arabia, Superintendent Government Printing, India, 1915, ~ vol. 1 pt. 1 p. 63
« In a detailed article published in 1979,1 Heinz Gaube made an important contribution to our knowledge of the various stages of the important trade route which connected Bandar `Abbas with Lar, and onwards with Shiraz and Isfahan. In addition, Gaube gave us detailed information on the three types of khans or caravanserais which provided the traveler with shelter and often with food and fodder supplies on this route. By comparing the description of this trade route by Wilson in 1907 with those of some seventeenth century travelers Gaube concluded that very little had changed in 300 years.

« [fol. 204r] The city of Lār, the capital of Carmania Deserta, is most ancient and is greatly esteemed by all the local Arabs. It is situated at the end of a large plain where the mountains, which run continously to this point, withdraw on both sides, and the terrain flattens out and opens up, creating an area more than three leagues wide. The mountains draw closer together again a little way past the city, creating a narrow pass or gorge through which the road leads to Shirāz. Lār is a little smaller than Hormuz, though its streets are not quite as narrow, nor are the houses as nicely built. The houses of Lār all have mud walls, plastered on the inside with that mud mixed with small bits of straw that was mentioned in the description of the fortress of Bandel. »#2651 trans. and ed; Jeffrey S.

« From 'Abbās Khan's information it became clear that no safe passage could be assured for us by the direct route leading to Lar through the valleys of 'Alamarv-dasht and Khunj. It was hence considered necessary to prepare for a move down from Galehdär via Warāwi to Ishkanān, whence Lär could be reached through tracts farther away from the disturbed area to the north-west and hence less likely to be affected by the trouble. Transport and needful protection for that move had to be sought from the influential Khān of Warāwi, reported to be well-disposed, and while awaiting his reply and the completion of the arrange- ments required, I could profitably use the welcome opportunity offered for surveying reported old sites about Galehdär. » #1693 Stein, Sir M.

« In the course of the thirteenth century the town of Khunj, southeast of Shiraz, had an important khanagah, an outgrowth of the order of Sheikh Abu Ishaq of Kazerun (Aubin 1969, 25). The nearby town of Fal was also an important center of learning in southern Iran, and its leaders exercised an important influence in Shiraz during the period of the last Salghurid atabegs, when the Sufi order of Abdallah-i Khafif maintained a powerful center on the eastern edge of Shiraz (Aubin 1969, 24-25). The twin towns Khunj-o-Fal, situated in the mountains behind Siraf, appear to have replaced the medieval port as a population center and center of commerce. The first sheikhs of Khunj-o-Fal were active in the construction of "qanats, buildings, mosques, madrasas, bridges and ribats" (Aubin 1969, 28).
