About
Tappa Gawri is an archaeologically significant site located in Kermanshah, Iran. Comprising two large mounds, the site reveals a rich occupational history spanning several crucial periods, including the Chalcolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Parthian, and Sassanian periods. The presence of distinct layers of artifacts from each era underscores the site's long-term habitation and its role as a center of cultural and historical development. Initial excavations in 1975 revealed a wealth of surface materials that provide insights into the evolving human activities and architectural practices over millennia. Tappa Gawri's strategic position and its proximity to other mound sites in the region highlight its significance in understanding the broader archaeological landscape of the Kermanshah and Mahidasht valleys.
