Synopsis
Contributing Authors

The excavations at Hasanlu in northern Iran, conducted by the Museum from 1956 to 1977, yielded valuable insights into the Iron Age settlement. A catastrophic attack around 800 B.C. caused the rapid collapse of public buildings, preserving a rich array of objects and materials in their original contexts.

Any consideration of the Iranian plateau must include the important site of Hasanlu in northern Iran. The Museum carried out excavations from 1956 through 1977. A major aspect of the research focused on the Iron Age settlement. This fortified town was attacked around 800 B.C. The attack and accompanying fire caused the rapid collapse of public buildings. Thus, the site provides a unique opportunity to examine a wide range of objects and materials still in the contexts in which they were stored.
