Teppe Zagheh (Persian: تپه زاغه) is an early urban settlement located near Qazvin, Iran.

It was first excavated by a team from the University of Tehran under the direction of Ezzat Negahban in the early 1970s [1] - Discovery of a shrine with interior decoration.

[2] It is suggested that the Painted Building was a special place for women to give birth After the re-excavation of Zagheh in 2001, new radiocarbon dates were obtained.

[3][4] There were also many small clay 'tokens', used as counting objects, that were found at Zagheh; these are variously shaped, and are similar to such tokens at other Neolithic sites.

[6] Clay figurines found in Mehrgarh (Pakistan), an important precursor to the Indus Valley civilization, resemble those discovered at Teppe Zagheh, and at Jeitun in Turkmenistan (6th millennium BCE).
