History and decsription
Tepe Golestan lies in the eastern part of the small town of Golestan, 45 km south/southwest of Tehran and 20 km northeast of Robāt Karim. A large part of the mound has been destroyed because of the town’s urban development and industrial activities. It presently covers 5 hectares and is nearly 2 m high. Based on a systematic surface collection, the site seems to have a long archaeological sequence from the Neolithic to the Iron Age period.
Archaeological Exploration
Tepe Goelstan was discovered and surveyed by Mohsen Bagheri on behalf of the Iranian Center for Archaeological Research in 2001.
