[5] One important aspect of the site therefore is the evidence that it yields for chronological relationships between North and South Mesopotamian cultures, at least in the area of Mandali, and for connections with Iran.

The introduction of irrigation, new types of grain, foreign ceramic styles and domestic cattle are all located in the Choga Mami phase, a late manifestation of the Samarran Period in lowland Mesopotamia.

Artifacts found at Choga Mami include Samarran painted pottery and elaborate clay female figurines.

During the excavation the team of archaeologists found mud brick rooms all similar in size and thoughtfully aligned, pottery, tools, and many small clay figures.

David Oates also found a jar containing the fragmented remains of what is presumably an infant burial,[7] which led them to believe that this location would have been the site of a small town.

The homes found at Choga Mami were built directly on top of, or occasionally within, the walls of earlier levels.

[11] The majority of houses "contained either two or three rows of small rooms,"[12] on either side of a central hall, referred to as a tripartite plan.

[14] The surviving pieces of pottery found at Choga Mami were regularly constructed with the same materials and the same overall look as those of the wider Samarran culture.
