چکیده
دشت ارزوئیه یکی از مهم‌ترین بسترهای جغرافیایی بوده که استقرارهای پیش‌ازتاریخ (خصوصاً مسوسنگ) در جنوب‌غرب استان کرمان را دربر گرفته است. در این دشت کاوش‌های باستان‌شناسی محدودی در محوطه‌هایی مانند: گزطویله، مرادآباد XII و وکیل‌آباد انجام‌شده، اما نتایجی از توالی استقرار در چند دورۀ فرهنگی مسوسنگ به‌دست نیامده است؛ لذا، لایه‌نگاری در تپۀ مرادآباد VIII که از مرتفع‌ترین تپه‌های دوران مسوسنگ در این منطقه است، با هدف گاهنگاری نسبی و تکمیل اطلاعات درخصوص استقرارهای دوران مسوسنگ و تداوم فرهنگ سفال این دوره در دشت ارزوئیه ضروری به‌نظر رسید. با توجه به ضخامت نهشته‌ها و سفال‌های پراکنده بر سطح تپۀ مرادآباد VIII وجود چند دورۀ فرهنگی متوالی، مطابق با فرهنگ سفال مسوسنگ یحیی انتظار می‌رفت. در این تحقیق که به روش مطالعات میدانی و کتابخانه‌ای و رویکرد توصیفی-تحلیلی، انجام‌شده است، توالی فرهنگ سفال مسوسنگ در استقراری طولانی‌مدت آشکار شد و 60 لایۀ فرهنگی شناسایی و 2413 قطعه سفال به‌دست آمد که 918 قطعه قابل مطالعه، طراحی و گونه‌شناسی شدند. نتایج نشان‌داد که تپۀ مرادآباد VIII در دوره‌های VI, VC, VB و VA یحیی (از مسوسنگ قدیم تا پایان مسوسنگ میانی) بدون‌وقفه مسکونی بوده و تاریخ نسبی 5600 تا 4200پ.م. برای آن پیشنهاد شد.

چکیده [English]
The Orzuiyeh Plain stands as a crucial region for understanding prehistoric, particularly Chalcolithic, settlements in southwestern Kerman Province. While sites like Gaz Tavileh, Morad Abad XII, and Vakil Abad have seen limited archaeological exploration, they have yielded insufficient data on the sequence of Chalcolithic occupation. To address this gap, a stratigraphic investigation of Tepe Morad Abad VIII, a prominent Chalcolithic mound in the area, was undertaken to establish a relative chronology and delve deeper into Chalcolithic life and pottery traditions. The mound’s substantial depth and scattered pottery fragments suggested a lengthy occupation spanning multiple cultural periods, likely associated with the Yahya Pottery Culture. Through meticulous field and library research, a detailed analysis of pottery artifacts revealed a clear sequence of Chalcolithic occupation across 60 distinct layers. Of the 2413 recovered sherds, 918 underwent in-depth study, including drawing and classification. The findings indicate continuous habitation at Tepe Morad Abad VIII throughout Yahya Periods VI, VC, VB, and VA, spanning from the early to late Chalcolithic era, with an estimated timeframe of 5600 to 4200 BCE.
