The late prehistoric administrative artefacts from Tapeh Tyalineh, Kermanshah, western Iran
Two seasons of excavations at the site of Tapeh Tyalineh in western Iran retrieved the largest known corpus of late prehistoric administrative artefacts in the ancient world, including more than 7000 seal impressions, more than 200 clay figurines, several clay tokens and two cylinder seals, dating to 5000 years ago
Tapeh Tyalineh
The Mahidasht region is a vital cultural sphere on the Great Khorasan Road that has provided substantial evidence for administrative activity, which is considered to be an indicator of economic and political complexity in late prehistoric societies. This article discusses a corpus of bureaucratic artefacts from the site of Tapeh Tyalineh in the Kouzaran plain in the north of Mahidasht, including 52 jar sealings and 12 door sealings. The artefacts…
Daya Cave
In the winter of 2021, a previously unknown and almost inaccessible cave called Aškawt-i Daya was discovered in the heart of Bakhakuh Mountain in the west central Zagros Mountains of Iran. An exceptional feature of the cave is its collection of paintings on the walls and ceiling with animal and human motifs, rendered in black pigment, both singly and in groups involved in scenes of hunting and slaughter. As with other rock paintings in Iran, esta…
The Formation of Early Neolithic Communities in the Central Zagros
Communal buildings have been reported from a number of early Neolithic sites from the Levant and Anatolia, but none were known from the central Zagros. Here we report on the recent excavations at Asiab, Kermanshah province, Iran, and argue that the principal feature found during Robert Braidwood’s excavation at the site in 1960 should be interpreted as an example of a communal building. We discuss the results of the previous and recent excavation…
The Late Sasanian Treasury of Qouri Qaleh Cave
Due to the small amount of evidence and artefacts associated with the cult of Mithraism, the study of this topic is a very complex issue. According to the current archaeological data, it would seem that evidence of Mithraism in Iran is often manifested in caves and in most cases as symbolic illustrations of Mithra on artefacts. The discovery of silver vessels related to late Sasanian period, in Qouri Qaleh near Paveh, decorated with a hawk catchi…
Some Socio-Economic Evidence from Iron Age Societies of the Iranian Central Plateau
The Iron Age communities of the Iranian Central Plateau have often been thought of as comprising nomadic pastoralist groups that lack organised political and administrative institutions, a conclusion largely based on the small number of settlement sites. New data obtained from excavations at settlement sites dating to this period are, however, demonstrating the existence of socio-economic and political institutions in well-organised communities. …
Early villages and prehistoric sites in the Abharroud Basin, northwest of the Iranian Central Plateau
The Abharroud basin is an important region in archaeological studies of the northwestern outskirts of the central plateau, and the west and northwest of Iran. Considering its environmental capabilities and geographical location, studying the region can leads us to a better understanding of regional relations and also inter-regional interaction between the cultural-geographical regions. During the two seasons of archaeological survey, 257 archaeol…
