Site in northwest Iran, southwest of the Caspian Sea, dating to the late 2nd millennium bc. It has not been excavated scientifically, but systematic looting of rich burials has brought onto the market gold and silver vessels and pottery figurines and animalshaped rhytons, similar to material from Marlik Tepe. Many forged ‘Amlash’ goods are also in circulation.
