Studying myth and mythic history within an archaeological context opens a window into a branch of modern scientific studies known as archaeomythology, which can be considered equivalent to myth archaeology. In this approach, the foundational premise of research is on the historicity of the narrative and the events described in the myth. The extent to which elements of a mythological story can be traced and correlated with field excavation is a key task in studies of archaeomythology. This study investigates the myth of Jamshid in narratives derived from Iranian-Islamic written sources, particularly the Pahlavi text Bundahishn. It examines whether traces of this ancient story can be interpreted through an archaeological lens, and, if so, identifies the evidence supporting such correlations. The findings demonstrate that, based on the alignment of certain descriptive elements related to deeds attributed to the age of Jamshid and the chronological data associated with this myth, a meaningful connection can be established between the components of this story and the prehistoric Banesh (Banish) period in the southern Zagros region (Fars).
