“…During the MC period various types of wares represent developments in pottery productions and also communications with the adjacent regions. The reports concerning presence of IDW types even in Azerbaijan region verifies this fact of interactions (Hamlin, 1975;Henrickson & Vidali, 1987). Archaeological evidences from CZM, show two distinct economic strategies taking place in the MC period.…”

Some 152 Chalcolithic sites were identified by the means of an archaeological surface survey in the Central Zagros mountainous region. As a whole, the analysis of data shows that the majority volume of finding pottery groups is classified as Red-Slipped Wares belonging to the Late Chalcolithic period. Beside this, the Black on Buff Wares and also the Impress Dalma Wares (Middle Chalcolithic) are the two types dominating the samples. The altitude of the settlements has risen by transition from the Early to the Late Chalcolithic periods. By Middle Chalcolithic we confronted different kinds of potteries indicating an improvement in the pottery making techniques or communicating with the neighboring regions. The Late Chalcolithic societies have witnessed a decline in the pottery types produced, but dramatic increases in the production rates. All factors show that in the Late Chalcolithic, population has been increased and a category of settlement systems have been propagated in the region which includes agricultural village-based pastoralism and nomadism.

“…Along the Iranian route, no Halafian material has been uncovered but a later painted ware tradition, Dalma ware (4700-4300 B.C.E.) appears in the Ushnu-Solduz valley (Dyson 1993;Hamlin 1975;Henrickson 1986;Solecki and Solecki 1973). The routes crossing the Zagros over the Kele Shin and Haji Omaron have been utilised for millennia, as witnessed by stelae documenting Assyrian and Urartian campaigns and archaeological evidence showing habitation dating from the Neolithic (Danti 2014a;Solecki 1963;Zettler and Danti 2017a;2017b;2017c).…”

The Chalcolithic period in Mesopotamia and Iran (c.6000–4000 b.c.e.) is characterised by larger cities replacing small farming settlements, technological developments including wheel thrown pottery and copper metal working, and people establishing long distance trade networks. The Halaf horizon (5900–5100 b.c.e.) developed out of the local late pottery Neolithic tradition and is found throughout western Syria, southern Turkey, and northern and central Iraq. This archaeological culture is defined by a finely painted pottery, dryland farming, round and rectangular houses, and the use of stamp seals. A comparable ceramic horizon, the J-ware horizon (5200–4700 b.c.e.) arose in the Mahidasht and Kermanshah valleys of Iran. The J-ware ceramics are finely painted, possibly deriving from the Halaf tradition, but also slipped and burnished. The Rowanduz Archaeological Program's (RAP) excavations elucidate links between northern Iraq and northern Iran from the Chalcolithic to the modern period. This paper explores the relationship between the Halaf and J-ware traditions at Banahilk, recently re-excavated by RAP, and the larger contacts during the Chalcolithic.

“…Long‐term archaeological investigations in northwestern Iran started with excavations at the prehistoric site of Yanik Tepe in eastern Lake Urmia by Charles Burney (Burney 1961, 1962, 1964) and were continued at other sites, such as Hasanlu in the western Lake Urmia area, by Robert Henry Dyson (Dyson 1968), Haji Firuz (Voight 1983), Dalma (Hamlin 1975) and Pisdeli (Dyson and Young 1960). Subsequent chronological and cultural recognitions and comparisons were based on the archaeological data from these first excavations in the region, which led to identification of the Neolithic period in Haji Firuz, previously regarded as being in cultural horizon of Hasuna in Mesopotamia (Voight 1983).…”

In 2005–2006 we initiated a major archaeological survey and chemical characterization study to investigate the long‐term use of obsidian along the eastern shores of Lake Urmia, northwestern Iran. Previous research in the area suggested that almost all archaeological obsidian found in this area originated from the Nemrut Daĝ source located in the Lake Van region of Anatolia (Turkey). More recent research on obsidian artefacts from the Lake Urmia region has identified a significant number of obsidian artefacts with compositions different from the sources near Lake Van. This suggests that the obsidian artefacts are from a yet to be identified geological source, but possibly one that was not too distant. In order to advance our knowledge of Iranian obsidians and eventually refine provenance criteria we analysed obsidian from 22 Chalcolithic sites and some source areas. The compositions of both obsidian source samples and artefacts were determined using wave length dispersive X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry (WDXRF). This paper presents results from the trace elemental analysis of both geological and archaeological obsidians, providing important new data concerning the diachronic relationship between lithic technology and raw material in the north‐west of Iran.
