Abstract
The excavations carried out during the second half of the Sixties and in the Seventies in Iran have allowed a new historical and cultural approach to the south-eastern regions of the Plateau. This chapter briefly illustrates the South-eastern Iranian cylinder seals from Shahdad, Tepe yahya, Louvre collection, Susa, Tod, Bailey collection, Foroughi collection, Rosen collection, Ligabue collection, Gonur depe and Jalalabad. Summing up the iconographical comparisons with Yahya and Shahdad stratigraphied cylinder seals, their archaeological contexts and the stylistic evaluations could allow the dating of the Jalalabad seal to the XXIII century BC. South-eastern Iranian complex could be used as a geographical and cultural terminology without however certain chronological limits. The south-eastern Iranian glyptic art seems to be circumscribed to the second half of the third millennium with only some sporadic iconographical evidences directly influenced by the Akkadian engravers. Keywords:geographical terminology; Jalalabad seal; south-eastern Iranian cylinder seal; south-eastern Iranian glyptic art
