چکیده:
Vartoun village is located 35 km North East of Isfahan County and is an administrative unit of Sagzi County. Karkas mountain range with a height of over 3000 meters covers North and West of Sagzi County as well as Vartoun village and a relatively flat plain covers other areas of this country. Villages and springs emerged in the margin of these mountains, which are considered the origin of contemporary nomadic people in these areas. During visits to villages and springs in this region, man-made caves were discovered in the margin of Vartoun hot spring. As far as we know, the man-made architecture has been developed in different periods and situations with various functions such as residence, refuge, warehouse and animal shelter. In this study, we first attempt to introduce spatial archaeology, architecture plan analysis, Annales school historiography approach and the collection of man-made caves of Vartoun hot spring in its historical-cultural context and analyze its application and creation time. Spatial and building material analysis as well as survey results of man-made caves in the historic-cultural context of Vartoun hot spring, given the therapeutic importance of hot spring and its long distance from nearby cities and villages, indicates a temporary residential use of man-made spaces before the Seljuks.

"In this study, we first attempt to introduce spatial archaeology, architecture plan analysis, Annales school historiography approach and the collection of man-made caves of Vartoun hot spring in its historical-cultural context and analyze its application and creation time.
Based on a comparative study, the char Taghi structure of the spy therapist’s tomb (Touqan Turk) is considered to be the oldest structure of the Vartoun Spa Complex, which was made neither from Seljukid nor Safavid period building materials, but rather from local building materials with Sassanid and early Islamic char Taghi techniques, which are not definitely unrelated to hand-carved spaces of the complex.
Conclusion If the hypothesis is correct that the spa therapist’s char Taghi structure for which there is no mention of the buried person or construction date of the building in historical texts, which is different with chartaghis of Sassanid period and early Islamic period in terms of architecture style and the use of local building materials, the hand-carved spaces can be attributed to the Sassanid period or early centuries of Islam, or even before the Seljukid period and have been created simultaneous with char Taghi building of Vartoun Spa Complex and were used in later times up to the Seljukid period.
The result obtained from this study is a function of visual evidence in the collection, spatial analysis based on the structures in the spaces, in particular the size and dimension of architectural elements, including the surface area of spaces, the height and width of entrances, the roof height of spaces, the dimension of platforms, niches, dimensions of porch structure or vestibule entrance to the spaces, structural analysis in the spatial-historical boundaries (historical-cultural context) of Vartoun Spa, as well as written data."
