Teppe Zagheh

Teppe Zagheh contains multiple excavation layers revealing residential structures, graves, and administrative buildings from early agricultural settlements in the region.

The archaeological investigations of the 1970s, led by the University of Tehran, uncovered evidence of human occupation between 5370 and 5070 BC.

The site features a painted building with interior decorations, which researchers identified as a designated space for childbirth in ancient times.

Researchers can examine the extensive collection of clay tokens, pottery fragments, and residential remains to study early human settlement patterns.

The excavations revealed 23 burial sites containing both local and imported goods, along with clay figurines similar to those found at Mehrgarh.
