At the time of the Abbasid Caliphate, Natel was one of the major cities in Tabaristan and had a military garrison.[3] It was known in medieval sources as Nātil or Nātilah.[4] Three archaeological excavations were conducted under Abdolreza Mohajerinejad in 2008, 2010, and 2016.[3] Over 2,000 pieces of pottery were uncovered; most of them were dated to the 3rd through 6th centuries AH (roughly the 9th-12th centuries CE).[3] Pottery samples dating from the Ilkhanid and Timurid periods was much rarer.[3] Hanie Hossein-Nia Amirkolaei et al described the pottery samples found at Natel as having "relatively good production quality and strength, but a lower level in terms of manufacturing technique and diversity of motifs".[3]
