Near the city of Hadishahr is the ancient site of Kul Tepe Jolfa, dating to the Chalcolithic period (5000–4500 BC). Occupation continued into the late Bronze Age. Pottery shards have been recovered from the Late Chalcolithic, Bronze Age and Urartian periods. The early site belongs to the Early Trans-Caucasian or Kura–Araxes culture, which spread through the Caucasus and the Urmia Basin.[5]
