Geoy Tepe, Archaeological site in Urmia, Iran.
Geoy Tepe forms a large mound measuring 500 yards north to south and 600 yards east to west, rising 80 feet above a natural spring.
Excavations at the site, which began in 1948 under T. Burton Brown, revealed continuous human occupation from 4000 BCE until 1200 BCE.
The archaeological findings from different periods demonstrate the evolution of settlement patterns and societal changes in ancient northwestern Iran.
The archaeological site, located 7 kilometers south of Urmia, received official designation as Iranian National Heritage in August 1968.
Eight excavation pits across the mound revealed distinct chronological layers, with Period N materials at the bottom dating to the middle fourth millennium BCE.
