Abstract
This chapter stirs interest in Trans-Tigridian Corridor, a largely unexplored region, by illustrating its specific local dynamics and developments during the early third millennium bc. It shows that the similar material culture, aswell as comparable burial customs, occupational patterns, settlement history and exploitation of the available resources, evidencing cultural ties or parallels have indeed been found at other locations within the Trans-Tigridian Corridor: the Deh Luran valley close to Susa, the Pusht-i Kuh in Luristan (especially at the necropoles of Bani Surmah (Haerinck/Overlaet 2006) and Kalleh Nissar (Haerinck/Overlaet 2008)), and several sites on the Adhaim and Lower Zab Rivers. The chapter presents a hypothesis based on the limited information that is available, but more research is needed to provide solid evidence. Finally, an interesting field of study focuses on the distribution pattern, the diversity, and the chronology of Scarlet Ware. Keywords:Bani Surmah; Deh Luran valley; Pusht-i Kuh; Scarlet Ware; Trans-Tigridian Corridor
