Chogha Bonut

Chogha Bonut (Persian Choghā bonut) is an archaeological site in south-western Iran, located in the Khuzistan Province.

The site is about 20km southeast of Dezful, and 5km west of Chogha Mish, another ancient site.

It is believed that the site was settled as early as 7200 BCE, making it the oldest lowland village in south-western Iran.

This settlement on the Susiana Plain played a big role in the early Elam civilization. Later, this area became dominated by Susa. The site is important because it preserves a record of preceramic period settlement in Iran.
