Document Details : Title: Excavations at Köhné Pāsgāh Tepesi, the Araxes Valley, Northwest Iran Subtitle: First Preliminary Report Author(s): MAZIAR, Sepideh Journal: Ancient Near Eastern Studies Volume: 47 Date: 2010 Pages: 165-193 DOI: 10.2143/ANES.47.0.2051623 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. |
