		Susiana, the plain in which Susa is located, was the only large lowland region in Elam, an extension of the Mesopotamian plain.
		Both Susiana in the west and the regions to the southeast in the Kermân range should perhaps be considered the Elamite periphery.
		The distribution of small settlements across the Susiana plain and the Kûr river basin suggests the agricultural exploitation of the two plains and the use of irrigation canals (Sumner, 1989; Carter, 1984).

		They are identified by their use of the older title, "king of Susa and of Anshan", and by calling themselves "servant of Kirwashir", an Elamite deity, thereby introducing the pantheon of the highlands to Susiana.
		This pressure of immigrating Iranians pushed the Elamites of Anshan towards Susa, so that in the course of this period, Susiana became known as Elam, while Anshan and the Iranian plateau, the original home of the Elamites, were renamed Persia proper.
		As we employ a foreign designation in referring to ancient Anšan and Susiana, Elamite scholars are often Assyriologists, Iranists or Linguists in their academic background, i.e.

		The Late Susiana 1 phase is characterized by bold motifs and the use of dots.

		In fact, the religious complex at Choghâ Zanbîl is dominated by the ziggurat, the two phases of which illustrate the change in the king's political and religious orientation.
		Anshan predominated not only over Susiana but also over the other geopolitical entities that constituted Elam; for example, in the time of ilhak-Inuinak Hutran of Awan was identified as the son of Napiria and Kiriria, the Anshanite divine couple.
		The pantheon exactly reflected the political situation: The Elamite kings installed in Susiana became semitized, then, beginning with Unta-Napiria, progressively elamized the province, to which Elam was eventually reduced.

	THE HISTORY OF ELAM - (CAIS at SOAS) ©
		When the Elamites, in alliance with the people of Susiana, brought an end to the empire of Ur in 2004 B.C.E., they annexed Susiana, where the Epartid, or sukkalmah, dynasty was founded by the ninth king of Simaški; the dynasty thus had its origins on the plateau.
		Furthermore, in this period the Elamite pantheon was imposed in Susiana and reached the height of its power with the construction of the politicoreligious complex at Chogha Zanbîl (q.v.).
		The main characteristic of this dynasty is to have "elamized" Susiana; the religious complex at Choghâ Zanbîl, ancient Dur-Untaš (or Âl Untaš-Napiriša), is evidence of this policy, which had been initiated under the "Kidinuids." Whereas the Epartids had adopted their titulary, gods, and language from the Susians, the Igihalkids emphasized the Elamite aspect of Susiana.

	EXCAVATIONS AT CHOGHA BONUT: THE EARLIEST VILLAGE IN SUSIANA, IRAN
		The political upheavals in Iran in 1978/79 interrupted the process of momentous discoveries of the beginning of village life in lowland Susiana.
		The sophistication of the artifacts and architecture of even the earliest phase of the Archaic period showed that there must have been a stage of cultural development antecedent to the successful adaptation of village life in southwestern Iran, but surveys and excavations had failed to reveal such a phase in that region.
		As is common in the field of archaeology, it was not until 1976 that evidence for an earlier, formative stage of the Archaic Susiana period was accidentally discovered.

		Iran's history as a nation of people speaking an Indo-European language did not begin until the middle of the second millennium B.C. Before then, Iran was occupied by peoples with a variety of cultures.
		By the fourth millennium, the inhabitants of Susiana, the Elamites, were using semipictographic writing, probably learned from the highly advanced civilization of Sumer in Mesopotamia (ancient name for much of the area now known as Iraq), to the west.
		Sumerian influence in art, literature, and religion also became particularly strong when the Elamites were occupied by, or at least came under the domination of, two Mesopotamian cultures, those of Akkad and Ur, during the middle of the third millennium.

	The Uruk Expansion: Cross Cultural Exchange in Early Mesopotamian Civilization (Excerpt 35)
		By the later part of the Uruk sequence the Susiana plain had become part and parcel of the Mesopotamian world, an eastward extension of the culture and institutions prevalent in southern Iraq.
		The onset of the Uruk tradition in the Susiana was marked by a substantial jump in the number of settlements and total occupied area trebled in the earliest Uruk phase -- an exponential growth in population which sharply reversed demographic trends of the preceding half a millenium in the area.
		The various surveys of the Susiana Plain indicate that ever since the end of the Middle Susiana Period (late 5th millennium BC) regional population and settlement had been in decline.

		The Karun River, which starts in the Zagros near the Zard Kuh, twists through deep canyons with sheer mountain walls until it reaches the plain of Khuzestan (the current name for Luristan, once known as Susiana, a province of ancient Elam), through which it flows to the Arabian Gulf.
		Huge salt domes, measuring as high as 5,000 feet high, are found near the center of the mountains.
		In ancient days, the plain of Khuzestan was known as Susiana and the adjoining mountains to the southeast were known as Anshan, the two provinces making up a country called Elam, which can be interpreted as 'The Land of the Gods.' Elam was a long-lived country, often the enemy of the Sumerian city-states.
