A Typological Catalogue of the Pottery from Tepe Sadegh

Pottery from Tepe Sadegh, a Bronze Age satellite site of Shahr-i Sokhta in southeast Iran, has been chronologically dated to between 2700 BCE and 2300 BCE, placing it firmly within the second and third periods of the Shahr-i Sokhta period. This finding is based on a comprehensive typological analysis of potsherds, which were classified according to physical characteristics such as clay paste, slip, temper, quality, firing rate, decoration, function, and shape. The study provides a detailed dataset formatted as a CSV file, offering valuable insights into the pottery traditions of the Sistan Plain during this period. This resource serves as a secondary reference for researchers, contributing to the broader understanding of material culture in the region.
