The archaeological campaign of the 16th season of excavations in Tepe Hegmataneh intended to explore the architecturalstructures belonging to the historical period. The excavated area consists of 4 squares including AJ45, AJ46, AK45,and AK46 with a total size of 400 m2 . Excavations in these squares recorded 55, 54, 105, and 116 loci respectively.The architecture belonging to the historical period was uncovered at an average depth of 4.00 cm from BM1, and afterclarifying the spaces, determining the condition of the floors and revealing the façades of the walls, the excavationsin the squares was completed. A suite of architectural spaces appeared through excavations in these squares. Thoughthere were slight differences, the plan was similar to the standard one suggested by Mohammad Rahim Sarraf. Therevealed architecture includes one passage, three complete spaces, and parts of three other spaces. Based on the resultsof thermoluminescence experiment, it is rejected not only that this architecture belongs to the Medes, but also that itsbelonging to Parthians must be reconsidered.
