  Ijrood County, located in Zanjan province, has special environmental potential due to its geographical location. Knowing the Parthian sites of this area can help us to better understand the cultural evolutions of this period in the western and northwestern regions of Iran. The current research was conducted in the form of a field survey to clarify the situation and cultural evolution of this area during the Parthian period. To this end, the survey of the geographical area of the Golabar Village and the northwestern part of the Ijrood River in the Ijrood-e Payin Village was carried out during two seasons. The results of this survey led to the identification of 100 ancient sites (68 sites in Golabar and 32 sites in the northwest of the Ijrood River), of which 35 sites had Parthian artifacts. The typology of the Parthian pottery and general understanding of the Parthian settlement pattern of the study area were important results of this research. The number of Parthian sites increased significantly compared to the previous period (Achaemenid), and even the sites of the later period (Sassanid) were not as large as Parthian. This indicates the demographic changes with the transformation of the settlement distribution pattern, compared to the previous period. Additionally, it was found that most of the settlements in the area consisted of small villages and a few large villages, and no evidence of urban centers were identified. The material culture of the area in the Parthian period seems to have some native-local characteristics that distinguish it from the western and northwestern regions of Iran. Manuscript profile

  Rumshagan Plain located in the west of Luristan province is one of the almost unknown regions in Iran's archaeology. Despite the fact that in this area there are several works and settlements of the Parthian period, no targeted research has been carried out so far. Certainly, the study of these settlements can provide a clearer perspective on the material-cultural status of the region as well as how its cultural interactions with neighboring areas. For this purpose, in this article, the findings of the Parthian pottery obtained from the survey of the enclosures of the Rumshagan settlements were studied, typology, comparison, and analysis. As a result, four types of ordinary pottery, glossy, painted, and glazed were identified. The comparative study and comparison of pottery show that the material culture of this region during the Parthian period, despite the influence of some indigenous local features, is ultimately part of the Western cultural landscape of the country. Other research findings highlight the link between the culture’s pottery culture and neighborhoods, such as Southwest, Northwest, and Mesopotamia. Manuscript profile
