Soghan Rural District, Iran

Tepe Yahya is a Bronze Age archaeological site in southeastern Iran. It is in the easternmost area of the Proto-Elamite culture. Excavations at Tepe Yahya show evidence of very early clay tablet usage and writing, early metallurgy, and the manufacture of stoneware for wide distribution. The site is a circular mound—the tell or tepe—around 20 meters high and 187 meters in diameter. Tepe Yahya is 1 km from a much larger site which was occupied in 3rd millennium BCE. It is in Kermān Province, some 220 kilometres (140 mi) south of Kerman, 90 kilometres (56 mi) south of Baft and 90 km south-west of Jiroft.
