چکیده:
In these few decades, and especially The recent two decades, the debate over the date of arrival of Aryan populations on the Iranian plateau has been one of the topics in the world of historical and archaeological studies in Iran. There are two diferent historical-archaeological views in this regard, one of which is more common, the arrival of the Aryans is associated with the Iron Age and the late second millennium BC. Another theory traces the history of the presence of these peoples on the plateau to pre-Iron Age. Ghirshman, Cameron, Dyson and Young's articles form the basis for field examining the interpretations made in the first view and the third volume of Encyclopaedia of Kashan, analyzing the arguments of the second view in this article. The leading article, while examining and criticizing the arguments of the first theory, analyzes the critical reasons of the second view based on the Encyclopaedia of Kashan and the documents presented in it and analyzes each of these components. This, on the one hand, using the study methods available in the archaeomythology approach and, on the other hand, establishing a comparative-analytical study between the data cited in both theories and the data in the written sources of the Mesopotamians that have been overlooked by both sides, and then by stating the strengths and weaknesses of both views, introduces a third theory with a mediating view between the two perspectives.

The other theory attributes the background of the presence of the aforementioned people in the plateau to periods prior to the Iron Age. The articles of Ghierschman, Cameron, Dyson, and Young form the basis for examining the interpretations made in the first perspective, and the third volume of the Daneshnameh Kashan forms the basis for analyzing the evidence of the second perspective in this article.
Jahanshahr Derakhshani, the author of the aforementioned volume, by mentioning various reasons and from the aspects of the content of Mesopotamian written sources, archaeological evidence, physiognomy of reliefs, climatic conditions, and also linguistic components of etymological roots, has attempted to propose a second hypothesis, based on an older presence of Aryans in various population groups and in all parts of the plateau (Derakhshani, 2004: 88/3- 85, 97-113).
One of these two perspectives, which we refer to as "the presence of Aryans in the Iranian Plateau from the Iron Age," is based on analyses related to pottery components, the appearance of a specific type of vessels, and other non-written material data such as the emergence of a specific burial rite.
The second view, whose central verification in this article is the analytical components of the third volume of the book Daneshnameh Kashan, advances the foundation of the analysis of the present article by criticizing the evidence of the first view and proposing different reasons to express "the pre-Iron Age presence of these people in the Iranian Plateau.
