Yarim Tepe, Tell and archaeological settlement in Golestan Province, Iran.
The archaeological site consists of multiple excavation areas with rectangular mud-brick houses spread across different sectors of the settlement mound.
Soviet archaeologists conducted extensive excavations between 1969 and 1976, uncovering thirteen distinct building layers reaching depths of 6.5 meters.
The settlement reveals transitions between Hassuna, Halaf, and Ubaid cultures through pottery styles, architectural methods, and daily living artifacts.
Researchers identified more than 1500 rectangular furnaces and ceramic ovens throughout the settlement, indicating large-scale food preparation activities.
The discovery of lead artifacts at lower levels suggests that inhabitants mastered lead smelting technology before copper processing methods.
