Archaeological site in Iran
Teppe Hasanlu or Hasanlitepe, also known as just Hasanlu, is an archeological site of an ancient city located in the West Azerbaijan province of Iran, a short distance south of Lake Urmia. The nature of its destruction at the end of the 9th century BC essentially froze one layer of the city in time, providing researchers with extremely well preserved buildings, artifacts, and skeletal remains from the victims and enemy combatants of the attack. The site was likely associated with the Mannaeans and possibly with the Armenians.
