Words like \u2018costume\u2019 are often associated with the colourful world of patterns and designs. The history of clothing also involves diversity and a rush of colours. Like all human inventions, clothing is created in response to demand. The indispensability of clothing has contributed to its important role in human history.<\/p>\n

The earliest communities inhabited the Iranian Plateau during the period 10,000\u201315,000 BCE. A lack of archaeological finds may indicate that in some parts of Iran clothing was not used until 6000 BCE. Increased hunting resulted in changes to clothing because increased access to animal skin allowed for clothing to be produced beyond basic human need.<\/p>\n

The Elamites<\/p>\n

A large bronze bowl bearing an inscription in the Elamite language naming Kidin-Hutran, son of Kurlush, which was discovered in a tomb at Arj\u0101n near Behbahan in southwestern Iran and was part of a late Neo-Elamite royal burial (c. 630\u2013550 BCE), indicates the diversity of clothing in this era…<\/p>\n
