The solemn studies conducted on the Iron Age in Kurdistan Province in western Iran were initiated by the early 1960s with the identification and assemblage of exquisite objects of Tepe Ziwiye. Right after the accidental discovery of numerous such delicate items and their gradual transfer to the National Museum of Iran, the stylistic study of antiquities began. The following years were archaeologically significant as a substantial number of excavations and studies were carried out on various sites of the region [Godard 1950; Barnett 1956; Kantor 1960; Motamedi 1997; Muscarella 1977]. Most of these researches indicate to the homogeneity of cultural materials including ceramic assemblage in parts of Iran during the Iron Age III (800–600 BCE). Several archaeological studies on Iron Age cemeteries have been conducted in the past few decades in Kurdistan province of Iran. The majority of these cemeteries are already in a ruined state now and it is the need of the hour to preserve as much as possible before they fade away entirely. In this regard, the present research endeavors to analyze the obtained information from the Doolperd Cemetery and expects to do justice to the cemetery that has unfortunately been destroyed.
