Abstract
Harsin city is located in the southeast of Kermanshah province, because of its special geographical location and suitable environmental conditions, it has always been one of the most suitable places for human settlements. The city, with two sections, Harsin and Bistoon, covers an area of ??about ???? km? and is ?? km from the provincial capital. In addition to Meskuh Valley, Chamchamal Plain and Harsin Plain are located in relatively high mountains with fertile soil, suitable climate and abundant water resources, which is quite suitable for agricultural activities. In a survey conducted by Translator and Chrysler in ???? and ????, ??? archaeological sites were identified in this area, and a total of ?? post-colonial settlements were identified based on surface findings, indicating the high importance of the area in the area. According to surface findings, there are a total of ?? settlements belonging to the Era. Archeological studies of abundance and diversity of clay pots in Harsin city's rocky areas show that Harsin city's plains and valleys can be considered as one of the routes of the north-west of south of Lorestan. Therefore, in this article, we try to examine the following questions and hypotheses based on the clay findings. Common Zagros sites during the Copper Age (Old, Middle, New) have been developed in the study area; cultural data from field surveys indicate regional cultural relevance to the Kangavar (Godin and Shegabi) and Mahidasht (J) areas; It is trans-regional with Azerbaijan (Dalma) and the land of Mesopotamia (Obaid). As in other areas of central Zagros in the area under study in ancient Stone Age, Goodin XI culture, in Middle Stone Age, Goodin X, IX cultures and in Late Stone Age, Goodin VIII, VII and VI cultures were prevalent. However, the presence of Mahidasht stone copper pottery in this region also indicates the presence of pottery cultures in the western regions. This article deals with the typology and analysis of pottery of the Harsin region which in addition to its native and local features have some similarities with those of the Kangavar, Mahidasht, Azerbaijan and Mesopotamia. Indicative pottery can be found in the type of pottery, dalma, triple, pottery with a black effect on chickpea and pottery with red cover. The role of the dominant liquids is on geometric imprinted pottery.
