چکیده
Tracking the emergence of political authority and social hierarchy in the archaeological record has been one of the major challenges addressed by archaeologists in the past fifty years or more, with considerable attention given to potential material correlates of early stages in developments leading ultimately toward statehood (Chapman ۲۰۰۳; Smith ۲۰۱۲). Much of this research has explored the evidence from past societies of the ancient Near East, including Mesopotamia and Iran (Wright ۱۹۹۸; Flannery ۱۹۹۹; Smith ۲۰۰۳), but there has been less investigation of the communities of the Iranian plateau in this light (Matthews and Fazeli ۲۰۰۴). What was their role(s) in the complex series of socio-political developments leading to the appearance of hierarchical societies in the centuries between ۵۵۰۰ and ۴۰۰۰ BC, and how might the archaeological evidence inform us on those roles? Recent and ongoing research into societies of the Iranian plateau in the so-called Transitional Chalcolithic period (۵۲۰۰-۴۲۰۰ BC) is continuing to enhance our understanding of this question. In this article we summarise and analyse the evidence from archaeological investigations of sites and regions on the Tehran, Kashan, and Qazvin plains, addressing in turn settlement patterns, subsistence strategies, craft production, and mortuary practices (Fig. ۱).کلیدواژه ها
