چکیده:
Due to its great significance and numerous pre-historic sites, the southern district of the Qazvin Plain has been at the
foreground of various explorations and excavations. However, the questions and uncertainties generated by previous findings and
the settlement patterns of this site during the Bronze and Iron ages prompted the authors to review it. In doing so, a number of sites
belonging to the Bronze and Iron ages were identified, which may be helpful in demonstrating the settlement patterns of the Plain.
Introducing Yass Tepe in Joharin village, this article aimed at showing the significance of this site during the Bronze and Iron ages
and illustrating the settlement patterns in the southern district of the Qazvin Plain in the specified periods. The explorations of Yass

a number of sites belonging to the Bronze Age in this region. In addition, explorations in this site proved to be significant in providing
an understanding of the settlement patterns.
