The Islamic site of Anda-jin is one of the most prominent and extensive sites from the Islamic period of Hamadan-Bahar plain, located 8 kilometers north of Hamadan in the fertile Quraq plain. The purpose of this research is to study the historical geography, cultural background and archaeological findings of the site. Studying and analyzing the archaeological findings obtained from the site and its correspondence with the written sources is the most important issue to be addressed. According to the abundance of pottery found, such as tiles and architectural remains, the site dates back to the sixteen and eighteen centuries AH. Archaeological, historical references and geographers reports of the Islamic period — such as those on Marje Gharatkin, Dai-Marje, Ghorogh and Andaei Meadow — indicate that this region may have been a large settlement (town) in the Ilkhanid period and perhaps there has been a military camp in the western parts of the country called “New Hamadan” or “Isin-Qotlogh”.
