The Mughan culture or the Talish-Mugan culture is an archeological culture of the late Bronze Age and the early Iron Age epoch (end of the 2nd – beginning of the 1st millenniums B.C.) in the Mugan plain and the Talysh Mountains in northwest Iran and Southeast Azerbaijan. ==Characteristics== The characteristics of the Mughan culture are: # Graves in stone boxes and in the graves. # Graves can be single, clustered, joint – men and women buried together, with a rich and poor inventory. # Cattle-breeding, agriculture and maybe fishing were the main occupations. # Implements and weapons were made of bronze and iron. # Weapons were bronze and iron swords with a bronze two-faucet hilt and bronze poniards with “framed handle” (of Western Asia type). # Pottery was made by hand. A basket-shaped “censer” and dishes in shape of teapots were distinguished. Grave inventories reflect a decomposition process of ancestral relations and property differentiation among tribes of the given culture. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mughan culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
