Godin Tepe is an archaeological site in central-western Iran, excavated by the late Professor T. C. Young in the 1960s and 70s. Just outside the buried ruins of the city, the excavators found a Late Bronze Age cemetery (Young 1969: 19) which had also been used by the Hiatus period squatters and passing Iron Age I people. The inhumations include men, women, and new-born infants neatly laid out and placed with food offering and grave goods such as pottery, tools, weapons, and personal ornaments. On the west-end edge of the excavated area of the cemetery, a carpenter's tool kit including a remarkable green stone hammer was uncovered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
