About
The Rahmatabad Mound, also known as Rahmatabad Tepe, is a significant archaeological site located on the Marvdasht plain in Iran. This Chalcolithic-era settlement, dating back to the 5th millennium BCE, is marked by a long sequence of cultural deposits, revealing its historical importance. Archaeological excavations have uncovered a large number of ancient shards, kilns, and industrial sites that provide insights into the technological and economic activities of its inhabitants. The discovery of square-shaped tokens suggests that the region was engaged in economic and commercial exchanges with neighboring areas during the 4th millennium BCE. These findings contribute to understanding the social and economic dynamics of ancient Persian civilizations and their interactions with surrounding regions.
