Summary
Archaeological soundings at Susa reveal a significant cultural transition between the 4th and 3rd millennia, marking its shift from Mesopotamian to Proto-Elamite influence. Conducted over four decades by the Susa Mission, these excavations on the Acropole tepe and Ville Royale tepe established a detailed chronological sequence, capturing the period when Susa evolved into a distinct cultural entity within the Iranian Plateau's Bronze Age landscape.
