The only grave (no. 7) belonging to the full Iron Age at Tepe Guran. A narrow pit containedan extended skeletonequippedwith a short iron sword. At the right shoulderon the left side of the skeleton was an iron spearheadand smallpotterybeaker. megalithic tombs. Both graves had been plundered, but one was left sufficientlyintact to be re-excavated. It was nearly five meters long and 1.35 meters wide, with the grave chamber so high that a man could stand upright inside it. The date of this grave and other related graves in the neighborhood is problematic. Potsherds found in the excavated grave do not fit into the Tepe Guran series. Erich Schmidt dated similar graves near Surkh Dum to the third millennium b.c. and it is possible that this is also the sites had been noted during date of the Sar-i-Tarhan grave, but the pottery is not Other interesting surveys and trial excavations, but most of them were conclusiveon this point. At the northern end of the Hulailan Plain a ruined completely ruined by the intensive digging activity of the Lurs.

This site, where a grove the first millennium b.c. and remains of two large of oak trees grew and where vines and medicinal such as weapons. The iron finger rings have the same shape as seal rings said to come from Luristan, but the rings in our graves were unfortunately too corroded to see if they had once been decorated. A single grave belongs to the Iron Age proper. Its pit was cut through all the discernible upper settlement layers, and therefore there is secure stratigraphical evidence that it is the latest Protohistoric material from Tepe Guran. 33
