	Iranica.com - FAÚRS, province in southern Persia.
		Fa@rs seems to have been affected only marginally by the Sumerian expansion in the second half of the 4th millennium during the late Uruk and the Susa II periods, when colonists migrated as far as western central Iran for exchange purposes (Sumner, 1986a).
		The discovery of Anshan in Fa@rs, however, gave rise to a different interpretation (de Miroschedji, 1985; Carter; Sumner, 1994), which argues that in the 11th and 10th centuries, that is the period of Elamite weakness, Iranian pastoralists migrated in small groups to Fa@rs, where they intermingled with the Elamite population.
		Although Fa@rs was under the rule of the "king of lands/peoples" and its inhabitants paid taxes (witnessed by the Elamite clay tablets), the province did not count among the subdued, tribute-paying regions of the empire.
