The Ilam province, includes the western part of the Central Zagros, is less known in terms of rock art and petroglyphs, and no serious research has been done in this field so far. The collection of new Bardah Serkha petroglyphs was created in the middle of Dezan Valley and next to the road that passes through the western terrace wall of the valley. The collection includes 4 petroglyphs. These petroglyphs include two male mountain goats with long horns and linear bodies, shown in detail and moving westward. On the opposite side, two hunters with bows are shown shooting at goats. These two archers are standing and pulling the bow string. The bows in their hands are curved and the two ends to which the string is tied are turned outwards. These bows were common only in the Central Zagros region. Despite the similarities in shape and size with Assyrian and Elamite bows, they are different. Based on the investigations, it is believed that the origin of this type of bow is from Ilam, which has become endemic in this region. The chronology of these petroglyphs is based on the bows in the hands of hunters, which belong to the Iron Age III and contemporary with the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Elamite periods.
