Namazga-Tepe

Namazga-Tepe or Namazga-depe, is a Bronze Age (BMAC) archaeological site in Turkmenistan, at the foot of the Kopet-Dag, near the delta of the Tejen River, some 100 km east of Aşgabat, near the border to Iran.

[citation needed] Namazga III (c. 3200–2800) as a village settlement in Late Chalcolithic phase, and Namazga IV (c. 2800–2400 BC) as a proto-urban site, both belong to the Late Regionalization Era.

[1] Namazga V (c. 2400–2000 BC),[1] is in the Integration Era or the period of "urban revolution" following the Anatolian model[clarification needed] with little or no irrigation.

Around 1600 BC, Altyndepe is abandoned, and Namazga-Tepe shrinks to a fraction of its former size.

[citation needed] There have also been detailed painted potteries located at this site.
