Hasanlu V and Iron I continuity in northwestern Iran
Stratigraphy and ceramic analysis document gradual local development through Late Bronze and Iron I phases before later Hasanlu IV.

What is the evidence?
observation
Stratigraphy and ceramic analysis document gradual local development through Late Bronze and Iron I phases before later Hasanlu IV.The site sequence is strong; the scale of regional interaction and population movement remains debated.

Confidence describes the stated assessment; it does not certify expert approval. How review works.
Chronology
Dating intervals may describe uncertainty or phases; their width alone does not establish event duration.
1450 BCE–1050 BCE
Precision: range
Chronology model: release preferred synthesis
highPreferred display range synthesized from the cited source roles. It preserves a range and does not imply every component occurred continuously or synchronously.

Interpretation and caveats
The sequence challenges explanations that attribute monochrome burnished wares and Early Iron change solely to incoming populations.
Event context
Classification
Event type: settlement continuity and material change
Evidence layer: archaeological
Timeline role: cross regional context
People and places
Locations: Hasanlu, Hasanlu V and Iron I horizon, Northwestern Iran and south Caspian highlands
Why it matters to the timeline
Hasanlu supplies a directly connected Iranian plateau comparator for the Araxes, Urmia, and South Caucasus transition, without implying one shared culture.
