Abstract:

Most of the settlements explored through archaeological excavations in northwestern Iran are in the Urmiye Lake Bay in northwestern Iran and remain within the area surrounding the lake. The Urmiye Lake Pool is the center of the weight of archaeological activities carried out in the past and today. The prehistoric period of this pool begins with the late Neolithic Age's Hague Firuz Culture. Haki Firuz, found in the archaeological cultural silence Hasanlu, is the oldest settlement known in northwestern Iran. However, the thousand-year gap between the Hacı Firuz culture stage and the Dalma stage dated to the Early Calculate Age has not yet been fully filled with new data. In the early stages of the late Calcolic era, the tradition of Dalma cranberry is seen to spread in the Urmiye lake pool in the west of the Iranian plateau and in the south of the Aras River, for example, in the Gul Mountains. In the later stages of the Calcolic Age, Dalma left the place of the cranberry, again found in the same areas, the cranberry cranberry tradition. When it comes to the First Tunch Age, it appears that the northwestern Iran was influenced by the Kura-Aras culture, which spread to Transcaphasia and Eastern Anadolu, and that the settlements in this period were part of the cultural tradition in question. The middle-age Urmiye lake pool is mainly represented by the time's tombs and a small number of settlements, these locations are defined based on the tradition of Urmiye painted cranberries.
