Tepe Giyan, Archaeological mound in Lorestan Province, Iran.
The archaeological site measures 350 meters in length and rises 19 meters above the surrounding area in the Khava valley near Nahavand.
French archaeologists George Contenau and Roman Ghirshman conducted excavations between 1931 and 1932, revealing five major cultural levels spanning multiple millennia.
The excavated necropolis contains 123 graves and numerous pottery artifacts showing connections with Mesopotamian Ubaid period and Elamite civilizations.
Research teams continue to study the different layers of human occupation at the site, documenting findings from the 6th millennium BCE to 1st millennium BCE.
A Bronze Age burial discovered in 2011 revealed a 40-year-old man with bronze rings placed on both the maxilla and mandible bones.
