  Seals and seal impressions are important evidence for the economic, political, and social relationships of societies in the ancient world. By studying them, we can obtain specific information about the level and extent of the relationships between the ancient inhabitants of the site or region with its surrounding world. Previous discoveries in the region of central Zagros and especially in Kermanshah province indicate that seals have a long history. For example, in Tapeh Giyan, it goes back at least to the Early Chalcolithic and Bronze periods. Despite the importance of the findings of Chogha Maran, Dehsavar, and Tapeh Tyalineh, the number of known sites in the west of central Zagros that have a collection of seals and seal impressions is very small, and there still is not a clear view about the level of complexity of the ancient sites in the region, especially regarding the use of seals and seal impressions, nor are the technology and style of seal cutting in this region understood. In this article, the authors have tried to introduce the seals and seal impressions of Tapeh Kheibar of Ravansar, showing the importance of this site among the other sites of the region, and provide some evidence of several thousand years of using property tools in this place. The current collection of Tapeh Kheibar includes six stamp seals, four cylindrical seals, and one seal impression, which range from the Chalcolithic to the Parthian period. The most important of these is a Kassite seal with a cuneiform inscription in the Sumerian language, which may have belonged to a high-ranking person in the Tapeh Kheibar in the Kassite period (second millennium BCE).

  In the numerous books and articles written on the Elamites, scholars rarely, if ever, have advanced any hypothesis on the formation of the early Elamite state organizations and how these organizations and the archaeological and historical landscapes of Elam, both in the highlands and lowlands, have differed from the contemporary political landscape of their Mesopotamian neighbors. Similarity, scholars simply ignore the tremendous difference between the natural landscape of Elam and southern Mesopotamia. This article focuses on these differences and traces them from the prehistoric era to the time when the long-lasting Elamite state was eclipsed in the first millennium BC. In doing so, the author pays close attention to the broad patterns revealed in the numerous archaeological surveys in southwestern Iran.  Manuscript profile

  In the second half of the fourth millennium BC. Southwest Asia underwent social changes, the result of which was the emergence of writing. In these developments, the cuneiform script in the south of the Mesopotamia and the Proto Elamite in the Iranian plateau progressed rapidly to such an extent that at the beginning of Elamite was scattered throughout the Iranian plateau. These writing systems were used for administrative and accounting purposes, and despite the fact that most of their signs are different from each other; there are important similarities between the two. Chalcolithic era, the best period in which you can see the idea of trading's and keeping of account; for the first time in this course, tools are seen which called them Token; it seems that the tokens in a variety of forms and counting symbols refer to a specific concept. The end of this period coincides with the Proto Elamites era in the south and southwest of Iran. Domestic production in the Neolithic period gave his place to the production of a workshop in the Chalcolithic era, which causes a lot of production. In the present study, firstly, will be investigated, small clay counters and then the Proto Elamite texts. Manuscript profile
