History and description
Tepe Nezāmābād is a large archaeological mound, in the region of Arāk. The site is located 2.5 km to the east of the Arāk-Farmahin road. The site is a few hundred meters to the northeast of the village of Nezāmābād and 300 m north of a fourteenth-century Imamzdadeh known as Shazdeh Hossein. The main mound is 6 m high and roughly rectangular, but the site itself seems to have covered approximately 5 hectares, a large part of which has been destroyed by farming activities.
Archaeological Exploration
David Stronach and Cuyler Young first visited and recorded the site in their 1965 survey of the region.
