Dehloran plain

The ancient site of Chogha Sefid is just to the west of the village. Culturally, the plain is known as a part of "Greater Susiana."

Dehloran Plain in the south of Ilam province, along with the Susiana Plain in Khuzestan to the southwest, has been the subject of the longest and most extensive archaeological research in Iran. These two areas had been culturally very similar during the Chalcolithic age. The important sites on Dehloran Plain are Ali Kosh, Chogha Sefid, and Tepe Sabz.
