Abstract

The history and culture of the peoples of Central Asia has become one of the most dynamic poles of research in the Near and Middle East. Archaeological excavations carried out in Izat Kuli and Geoktchik Depe (Turkmenistan) have provided unexpected information about the culture of one of the pre-Achaemenid states, neighboring Iran. At the Izat Kuli site, a structure is appearing, probably a religious space, sanctuary or temple built in the central platform, where public buildings were erected during the Iron Age.
