Abstract :
Köhne Pāsgāh Tepesi is an ancient mound site in the Araxes (Aras) River valley, in the Khodääfarin delta. It was surveyed and excavated as part of the Khoda Afarin dam project. This paper presents the preliminary results of those investigations. Five cultural phases have been recognized, which has accompanying radiocarbon dates. Evidence suggests that the site was continually occupied from the Late Chalcolithic through to the end of the Early Bronze Age. The changes that did occur appear to have been gradual and not disruptive.
