چکیده:
Archaeological reconnaissance in the Gotvand
Dam Basin area in 2007 led to the identification of a number
of archaeological sites dating to various cultural periods.
One of these sites, known as Kalāntar 4, was proposed
for rescue excavation. Architectural remains and two Neo-
Elamite semi-underground stone tombs were discovered,
which have enhanced our knowledge of the Neo-Elamite
period in the highlands of Khuzestan. Based on ceramic
comparisons, there are significant similarities between the
assemblages from Kalāntar 4 and those of Susa (Ville Royale
II and Ville Royale A), as well as with Neo-Elamite sites in
the nearby Mianab-e Shushtar plain further to the southsouthwest.
Furthermore, architectural research based on an
ethno-archaeological approach indicates some continuities in
the architectural traditions of this area from at least the Neo-
Elamite period to the present day.

Apart from Susa, a few other sites also contained materials from this period, including Tal-i Ghazir (Caldwell 1968; Carter 1971: 268, 270; 1994), Tape Bormi (Carter 1994; Mofidi-Nasrabadi 2005), the stone chamber tomb of Arjan (Alizadeh 1985; Alvarez Mon 2010); Sorkh Dom Lori cemetery (Schmidt et al.
Some ceramic forms from Kalāntar 4 have parallels with those found at other Neo-Elamite sites in Khuzistan including the Ville Royale II workshop at Susa (de Miroschedji 1981a; 1985), Phases AX, AIX and BI of the Ville Royale A workshop (Gasche 1973; Carter 1979) (Ville Royale A); locus P 26-28 and phases A-C of trench 5224 of the Apadana Ville Royale (de Miroschedji 1981b) (Ville Royale-Apadana); the Mianab plain of Shushtar (Moghaddam 2006), Kalāntar 1 and 2 sites and its nearby tomb (Peymani 2008).
