Shah Tepe

The eastern side is steeper and straighter, while the western is strongly rounded and more gently sloping.

Shah IIB and IIA are both referred to the Bronze Age and contain burials characterized by black or grey pottery and alabaster vessels.

The uppermost layer (Shah I) contained Muslim graves in association with other material of the same period.

With rare exception, the prehistoric skeletons lay contracted on their side in a simple, individual pit.

One collective burial has been identified: it contained five individuals, whose bodies were mutilated and accompanied by offerings of sheep and goats.
