Chia Jani, Neolithic archaeological site in Kermanshah Province, Iran.
The archaeological site of Chia Jani stands on the Qouchemi stream, 3 kilometers south of the Ravand River in the Islamabad Plain.
Archaeological excavations at Chia Jani revealed evidence of human settlements dating back 10,000 years, with findings of early domesticated goats and agricultural practices.
The site contains significant ceramic artifacts, including tadpole ware from 6000 BC, which demonstrates the technological evolution of ancient Iranian communities.
Researchers access the site through the village of Palang Gerd, though portions have experienced erosion from the stream and agricultural development.
The lithic collection from Chia Jani includes specialized bladelet production using obsidian, connecting it to broader regional trade networks.
