🛖 Bābā Jān Tepe

Bābā Jān Tepe (Tappa), an archeological site in north-eastern Lorestan province, on the southern edge of the Delfān plain at approximately 10 km from Nūrābād, important primarily for excavations of first-millennium BC levels conducted by C. Goff from 1966 to 1969. Work concentrated on two mounds joined by a saddle. The East Mound yielded a series of first-millennium BC buildings above Bronze Age graves. On the Central Mound, excavation concentrated on the Baba Jan III Manor on the summit; an 8 × 6 m Deep Sounding provides a partial late fourth- to mid-second-millennium BC sequence
