This paper presents a recurrent architectural pattern-unnoticed up to now-observed in late fourth-millennium Bc strata at the Iranian sites of Susa, Tal-i malyan, and Godin Tepe. on the basis of this evidence, the article proposes some considerations for understanding aspects of the period characterised by the so-called "Proto-elamite phenomenon".
