Abstract

Northwest of Iran, located in a special geographic and strategic location, has mountainous areas as well as vast plains, permanent and seasonal rivers, large lakes and access to the sea from the east of the northwest and different weather conditions, Could have been the place of acceptance of various human groups throughout history, especially the Iron Age, because East NW Iran could have crossed the northern tribes and migrated and invaded the central plateau and Mesopotamia over thousands of years. In the late Middle Bronze Age and the beginning of the Iron Age in northwestern Iran, ethnic and tribal movements intensified. In the same vein, due to the environmental conditions, and the lack of natural resources in this area, there was a great deal of encounters between different indigenous and local communities. The result of these encounters was the formation of a central pillar and satellite fortresses around them. In this study, according to the studies carried out in the eastern part of the northwest of Irene, as well as archaeological survey, the central and the Caspian fortresses of Meshginchayi River tea have been studied. This research shows that in the late Benghazi and Iron Age of this area, there have been many encounters between different tribes to reach the best place to live. In this case, the central castles played a role in protecting the people as well as organizing popular groups, and the satellite castles were responsible for preserving the boundaries of these centers and preventing the arrival of new tribes.
