Bani Surmah is a late Sumerian necropolis, located on a plateau of Pusht-i Kuh, in the heart of central Zagros, Iran.

It was studied for the first time in 1967 by a Belgian expedition, on behalf of the Royal Museums of Art and History of Brussels and the Ghent University.

At the time of the construction of Bani Surmah, the peoples of the region are the Gutis, the Lullubi and the Elamites, probably at the origin of these family vaults, although the absence of written texts complicate the validation of this hypothesis.

Awls, punches, adzes, spears, cups, bowls and jewelry, the objects of Bani Surmah show the appearance of the bronze civilization in Lorestan.

Many resemble Mesopotamian remains, such as those at Susa, and the lack of copper ores in the region and indications of the craftsmanship of these inhabitants at this time suggest trade between Mesopotamia and Luristan, rather than a local production.
