Abstract

Our information about Epipaleolithic and Neolithic period of the Central Zagros has still mostly been limited to those fieldworks undertaken in the 1960-70 and that most of recent investigations in the region, specifically in Kermanshah, have not yet been fully published. Moreover, spatial distributions of the sites and their natural settings as well as their settlement patterns in the intermountain plains of the Central Zagros are not well-known. This highlights significance and publication of any associated fieldwork in the region. Employing a descriptive-analytical approach, this article presents preliminary results of a recent pedestrian survey of the Epipaleolithic and Neolithic sites in the Razavar valley to the north of Kermanshah. The survey was undertaken as a part of a Joint Iranian-Danish Project entitled “ Tracking Cultural and Environmental Change: Epipaleolithic and Neolithic in Central Zagros” . In this regard, the survey was concentrated on Pleistocene traces of the Razavar stream, some mountainous barren lands, rocky slopes, southern flanks of the valley, and agricultural lands above the old terraces. As a result, a total of 6 Neolithic sites were identified. Of these, the most spectacular one is Tappeh Salar Abad which sat on top of an old terrace of the stream and with a roughly 7m of deposit contains rich in stone artifacts, oysters, snails, charcoal, and ash. Natural setting, presence of thick archeological deposits, size, and the topography of the site all indicate that Salar Abad should have been an important settlement, similar to Sheikhi Abad in the nearby valley. Generally speaking, it seems that such key early Neolithic sites had commonly stablished in the niches of the intermountain valleys and plains Ganj Dareh, Sheikhi Abad, Ghazanchi, Chia Jani, and recently Salar Abad. Late Neolithic materials were also found in the valley which are reminiscent of the so-called Sarab and Siabid traditions and thereby show a regional cultural homogeneity.
