Abstract

After the developments of the new Bronze Age on the Iranian plateau, a new era called the Iron Age emerged. Iron Age cultures of the northeastern region of Iran are completely different from the evolutionary theories and characteristics of the Iron Age culture of northwestern Iran, as well as the evolutionary approaches of this period in other cultural parts of the Iranian plateau. The Iron Age cultures of northeastern Iran, especially Khorasan, include two completely different cultures in terms of cultural materials and biological structures, which are called Yaz and Dahestan cultures. In the present study, in addition to describing the components of the two cultural systems of Yaz and Dahistan, we first try to explain the spheres of influence and common boundaries of these two cultural systems and then, according to recent studies, the biological structures of the Iron Age culture in Khorasan. Finally, an attempt is made to study and interpret the components of Yaz culture in relation to the traditions of the New Bronze Age as well as the Achaemenid period. The results of the study indicate the influence of Yaz culture in East Khorasan and Dahistan culture in West Khorasan to Gorgan plain. According to recent studies and current knowledge, Bojnourd plain in Atrak basin and Jajarm plain in Kalshour basin are the common borders of these two cultures (in North Khorasan province). In East Khorasan, the components of the Iron Age culture are closely related to the Yaz culture in Central Asia, and some local components are also evident. In addition, Yaz III period coincides with the Achaemenid period, which is ignored in the Yaz time division, which according to the types of pottery, to some extent can be traced to the components of the Achaemenid period in Khorasan.

The onset of the Iron Age and its time and circumstances in the Iranian plateau has been the subject of much debate among archaeologists. Wheras there is a general agreement about the end of the Iron Age I, usually being put at the end of the second millennium BCE, the beginning date has been marked by controversy. The beginning of Iron Age has been subject to centuries of variance dated from mid to the late second millennium BCE with the earliest date being 1500 BCE. This time span, i.e. the second half of the second millennium BCE, coincided with the flourishing period of Middle Elamite which is a relatively well-known period with considerable amount of textual evidence and material culture. The present article, based on the periodization in the archaeology of Elam as well as the chronology of Late Bronze Age in the Near East, attempts to address the question of whether the second half of the second millennium BCE in West, North, South and Center of the Iranian plateau can be called Late Bronze Age as is the case in the rest of the Near East. It suggests that Iron Age in the aforementioned parts of Iran like its western neighbors started at the end of the second millennium BCE with the beginning of New Elamite period and, what is considered as Iron Age I could be indeed called the Late Bronze Age. It should be noted that eastern part of the Iranian Plateau is excluded from the discussion , since the area presents distinctive characteristics, being totally different from those known in contemporary cultures of the Near East. Taking into account the Elamite archaeology in the periodization of Iron and Bronze Ages would cause a logical connection to be created between the archaeology of Elam and the archaeology of Iranian plateau. The connection is particularly important since the main Elamait centers during the second millennium BCE in general and its second half in particular had an extensive relation with the western part of Iranian plateau, and neither of them can be understood without the other.
