Abstract
AbstractTepe Pirdooshan is located near the village of Dooshan in Sanandaj County, Kurdistan Province. Delimiting was carried out by Amir Saed Mucheshi in 2013 in order to determine of its extent. Findings from the delimiting data and the archaeological survey point to a single-period settlement of the Parthian period. The cultural evidence obtained from this mound is limited to parts of it. Due to the steepness of the slope and its single periodicity, this settlement has been severely eroded and parts of it are free from any cultural material. There are obvious similarities between the potteries and architectural remnants of this site with other sites of the Parthian period in western Iran. Architectural remains were identified in one or more rows of stone walls, mostly belonging to the foundation. In a number of soundings (operations) and sections in this Tepe, bricks were also observed. Due to the development of Sanandaj city and consequently Dooshan village, one of the villages situated on the outskirts of the city, this Tepe is surrounded by new constructions and the determination of its cultural extent can guarantee the protection of the remnants of this ancient site.KeywordsDelimitingTepe PirdooshanParthian periodSanandaj
