Summary/Abstract: The present research tries to studying an archaeological key site in south-east of Iran, which is located beside Sarbaz River. Sarbaz River is one of the most important rivers in the Baluchestan area. It flows between the Iranian Makran Mountains (Sarbaz County) and finally spilling into the Oman Sea. During the archaeological survey which has been done by the authors in 2009 Tepe Keshari has been identified in the southern parts of the riverbed of the Sarbaz, in front of Hassan Village. The studies have shown that Sarbaz’s river in the 3rd millennium BC had important contributed to the formation and expansion of the settlement. It has had the interregional trading in south eastern region of Indo-Iranian borderlands that during the third millennium BC acted positively as a dynamic factor in the vast region of south eastern Iran to Oman Sea shores and southern Persian Gulf.
