Tapeh Yahya (Persian: تپه یحیی) is an archaeological site in Kermān Province, Iran, some 220 kilometres (140 mi) south of Kerman city, 90 kilometres (56 mi) south of Baft city and 90 km south-west of Jiroft. The easternmost occupation of the Proto-Elamite culture was found there. A regional survey found a five times larger (10 hectare) unnamed unexcavated site one kilometer fro Tepe Yahya, occupied in the VB, IVC (Proto-Elamite), and IVB periods.[1]
