Abstract
The archaeologists who have investigated Ziwiyeh have presented different views about the constructors of material culture and its artistic styles. The majority of them, relying on one single object and analyzing its inscription and comparison with similar cases of adjacent cultures and sites, have attributed the origin of materials and artistic styles with respective region, and on the basis of the comparison, have dated all of the collection of Ziwiyeh. What is wrong with them about the stylistics and chronology of objects is that they coincided all the collection of objects found in Ziwiyeh. It seems, one of the reasons for this imagination have been discovery of the majority of treasure items in the bronze coffin. In this research I try to consider all different styles in Ziwiyeh complex and present more suitable dating which includes all styles and material culture. Proposed chronology expands from the end of Iron Age II to the Median period.
