خلاصة:
Chronology of northwestern Iran is principally based on archeological
excavations of the area located around Urmia Lake. Although plain and filled
with water, and the outcomes of these excavations are extended to the whole
northwestern region. However, northwestern Iran despite having
geographical diversities with mountainous plains and low stretches, systematic
and comprehensive studies have been lacking until today. Khanghah cemetery
in the province of Ardebil has been one of the important archeological
enclosures in Iran from where graves of the Middle Bronze Age, Iron Age,
and the Parthian period have been unearthed.
The excavated Iron Age graves in this cemetery are of pit grave with generally
individual form of burial, but in some cases, double burials are also seen
there. It seems that direction was not observed in the burials.
The form of potteries are comparable with ceramics found from places such as
Marlik, Lamehzamini, Ghalekuti, Hasanlu V, Kordlore Tepe, Yanik Tepe,
Sialk V, Qeytariyeh, Geoy tepe B, Dinkha III, Shahiryeri, Sagzabad,
Lasulkan, Mariyan, Chir Chir, Ghabrestan, Khurvin, Haftavan V, Agh evlar,
Chilakhaneh and Uzbeki

Background Studies From the excavated enclosures related to the Iron Age in North-West Iran, one can point to Hasanlu Tepe (Dyson, 1989), Haji Firuz Tepe (Voigt, 1983), Dinkhah Tepe (Muscarella, 1968), Kordlar Tepe (Lippert, 1976), Geoy Tepe (Burton, Brown), Haftavan Tepe (Burney, 1969, 1970, 1973, 1975, and 1979), Geoy Masjid cemetery (Hojabri Nobari, 2004), Qalla Khosrow (Rezalo, 2007).
B12: N11: Vessel with inverted rim but with two handles was placed in the eastern part of the grave (Plan 2, No. 10) which is comparable with Iron Age I vessels obtained from Haftavan V (Talaei, 2004: Fig. 4, No. K).
B15: N14: A short-neck jar was placed in the western part (Plan 4, No. 6) which can 136 be compared with the Iron Age I vessels from Haftavan V (Talaei, 2004: Fig. 8, No. d) and Ghalekuti (Egami, Fukai and Masuda 1965: PL, XL VIII, No. 34).
