Based on new findings, the report overturns current constructions of the origins of the archaeological culture in Hasanlu, showing instead that the Monochrome Burnished Ware Horizon developed gradually from indigenous traditions. This reappraisal has important implications for our understanding of Indo-Iranian migrations into the Zagros region.
