Chia Jani, Neolithic archaeological site in Kermanshah Province, Iran.
Chia Jani is an archaeological site in the Islamabad Plain where researchers have found layers of human settlement. The location sits near a stream in the region and contains remains from different periods of occupation.
People began settling in this place and started taming animals and growing plants in the distant past. This period marked a turning point in how communities organized their survival.
The pottery found here shows how people developed their craft skills over generations. These ceramic pieces reveal details about daily life and what mattered to the community that lived here.
The site can be reached by walking paths that lead through a nearby village and require some basic planning. Visitors should be aware that the landscape has changed over time due to water flow and farming activities.
People at this location crafted sharp small tools from obsidian stone that were traded with distant regions. This reveals that communities in this area were connected to broader networks far beyond their immediate surroundings.
