Dahaneh-ye Qolaman [Dahan-i Ghulaman, in western European archaeological literate] is located 2 km south of the village of Qal'eh now about 44 km south of Zabol in the Sistan and Baluchistan province. The lack of any stratified layers and the absence of any archaeological material, including artifacts or features that could be attributed to before sixth-fifth century BC; all tend to indicate that the town had a short life span. In October 2000, a new series of excavations began at Dahaneh-ye Qolaman. Excavations were concentrated on Building no. 15, a square shape building ca. 2500 sq.mt. Traces of 36 long and narrow rooms are visible on four sides of the building. The general aspect and plan of the building suggest that it is a sacred structure but excavations of the building seem to reveal that this structure could have been a "sacred – manufacture workshop".
Images. During the third campaign of the excavations at Dahaneh-ye Qolaman traces of some wall paintings and wall carving were discovered. On the walls of room no. 25 of Building no. 15, a series of red and black color designs, badly damaged by termites were found. One of paintings represents a 55 cm by 42 cm. camel painting in black color. The second image and best preserved painting represents a hunting scene. This scene is 128 cm long and 37 cm high and represents a hunter riding a chariot. The hunter is following a boar. This painting is very similar to the seal impression of Dariush the Great. This scene is painted in black color and is enclosed by red colored lines and small white colored circles. The third image was found in room no. 23 and features a badly preserved scene carved on the wall. The scene represents a horse standing by a staircase of a building. It seems that these images were not part of building itself but were added later on the walls of these rooms.
