Seifollah Kambakhshfard (Persian: سیف‌الله کامبخش‌فرد; March 21, 1929 – November 28, 2010) was an Iranian archaeologist, who specialized in archaeology and Ancient history of Iran.

He joined the prehistory division of the National Museum of Iran in 1959 and served as an assistant director of the Institute of Archaeology that operated under the University of Tehran at the time.

[13][14] Kambakhshfard presented the dazzling Art of Iranian pottery in an exhibition called "Tehran, the 3000 years old Civilization", an event that was sponsored by the National Museum of Iran in 2001.

[15] Similar event was held by National Museum of Iran, in which a collection of items such as sword, arrow tip, flags and jewelry were displayed in April 2017.

[16] Today, almost the entire ancient hills has been replaced with the urban developments and high rise apartments and shops that are built over the area.

Starting in 1968, the first team of Iranian archaeologists, directed by Kambakhshfard, began their preliminary assessment of a site that was presumed to be the location of an Ancient Temple, marked by remains of some scattered pieces of stone carvings and broken column capitals.

Based on archaeological findings and thermoluminescence dating tests, the Temple of Anahita is associated with the Achaemenid, the Parthia, the Seleucid, the Sasanian, and the Islamic and even with the Medes periods.

The structure is formed with vertical walls, flat roofs, and a blend of classical Greek and Persian architecture and perhaps served colonies along the[Silk Road.

In 1981, an Archaeologist published an article called “The Excavation at Kangavar”, in the AMI journal[20] and flagged the validity of so-called “Temple of Anahita” and proposed a “Castle” attributed to Khosro II Sassanid, instead.

The article initially gained attention of the scholars, but it remained as a “Pure Theory” in a long run, as it was generally based on oral history and rationalization, rather than scientific measures.

His excavations at the ancient hills of Gheytarieh revealed the civilization, dating back to the first millennium BC at a site in northern Tehran's district.

A special event was held at the National Museum of Iran, prior to his funeral ceremony with participation of archaeologists, scholars and guest speakers.
