Tell site near Persepolis in southern Iran, occupied in the Chalcolithic period, probably from the early 5th millen nium be. The site consisted of 12 mud-brick buildings with from one to seven rooms each; it was occupied by a simple agricultural community, that excelled in the production of fine painted pottery, related to Susa A wares. Vessels included conical bowls and goblets with stylized designs including mouflon horns, birds, demons and plants. Other finds include vessels of calcite and alabaster and figurines of women and of oxen.
