        Due to suitable environmental conditions, some caves have been the center of human settlement and human activities for a long time. Therefore, the sedimentary layers of the bottom of the caves and their rocky walls always contain valuable evidence of the cultural evolution of human societies. Moneh Cave is one of the ancient places of Landeh County in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, which has been the focus of past humans due to its special conditions. The emergence of disputes and conflicts among the residents of the area due to their unauthorized excavations in this cave provided the ground for its archaeological excavations. The archaeological research on the cave led to the identification of three halls and a communication corridor between the halls. In addition, the exploration of two boreholes in this cave brought the time of its use to the Late Chalcolithic Age until the late centuries of the Islamic era. During this period, the herdsmen of the region temporarily used the cave. The survey of the surroundings of the cave also led to the identification of the remains of large stone walls, 200 meters west and northwest of the cave. The thermoluminescence dating of the pottery of this cave indicates that they belong to the Abbasid period. Manuscript profile

        In order to get accurate , exact geographical data by the use of GPS it is just needed to inspect the expenses of what have been done and to correct it’s failures . This technology ascertains minute positioning as small as a pin point in different weather conditions ,any time during the days and nights so accurately . It is also used to collect and get a great geographical data . GPS is usually used for collecting reliable positioning data in the deserts . It is used with GIS technology in the controlling system of navigation and warships and this is one of the advantages of GPS in relation to classic topography. Manuscript profile
