In 2018, the excavation of Trench 13 at the western cemetery of Qareh Tepe in Segzabad led to the discoveryof 10 Iron Age graves located in the southwestern section of Tepe Ghabrestan. These graves featured mudbrickstructures, oriented east-west, and contained burials placed on their sides. The grave goods found within includedpottery vessels, metal objects, animal bone remains, and ornaments made of various materials. The burialpractices and grave goods suggest that these graves were created within a relatively short time frame. To establisha chronological context for these findings, the artefacts from Trench 13 were compared to those from Trench12, located at the eastern cemetery of Qareh Tepe. With five absolute dating samples from Trench 12 graves, areliable chronological framework was available, enabling a more precise dating of the Trench 13 graves. Thecomparison indicates that the graves in Trench 13, which had the highest number and most incredible variety ofsimilar artefacts, corresponded closely to those in Trench 12, dating from 1000–900 BCE.
