In the summer of ۲۰۱۷, renewed fieldwork was undertaken at Tappeh Sofalin in the Varamin Plain. A total of ۲۰ samples for absolute dating were collected during this season, several of which have been analyzed. We present this new evidence for the dating of the site and compare it briefly with published dates and analyses from other sites. Finally, we discuss implications for the chronology of the Proto-Elamite spread to the Central Plateau and other areas of Iran.
