Vertical view of the archaeological mounds at Susa on the left bank of the Shaur River, east of the modern town centre that now rings the archaeological site, threatened by urbanisation to the north and to the south.
The red dotted line around the three tells or tepes shows the approximate outline of the embankment that Darius built to define the remodelled area, which covered approximately 70 hectares. Today the mounds rise roughly 20 metres above the plain and the old periphery (up until the 19th century) has been extended by the earth discarded on the outskirts after 70 excavation campaigns. To the east of the three mounds, the fourth, named the “Tell des Artisans” is equivalent in size as the first three combined. It has been partly explored but has not supplied much evidence of the Achaemenid era, when it was in the very early stages of occupation.
Susa, Khuzestan, southwest Iran, the archaeological site
