Tape Gohareh is an ancient site located in Kermanshah province, in the Bistun region (ancient Bagistana). Surface evidence obtained from initial surveys at this site indicates the presence of cultural artifacts from the Seleucid and Parthian periods. This research aims to investigate and analyze the historical and cultural status of Tape Gohareh and its connections with contemporary cultural centers in the Bagistana and Central Zagros regions. The research is based on field methods and documentary approaches. In the first method, archeological exploration was conducted to document cultural remains and findings, followed by a study of historical documents including books, published articles, and excavation reports as references. The results indicate the existence of an important ancient site from the Seleucid and Parthian periods in the Bagistana and Central Zagros regions, which can contribute to further study and understanding of cultural artifacts such as the pottery chronology from this period in the area. Architectural remains were found at Tape Gohareh in various settlements and phases, along with significant pottery types including decorated pottery, glazed pottery, kiln-fired pottery, plain pottery, as well as other cultural findings. The examination and study of these findings indicate cultural similarities between Tape Gohareh and other prominent sites in Central Zagros such as Sorkh Dom Laki in Kuhdasht, Laodicea in Nahavand, Anahita in kangavar and Ecbatana in Hamedan. It also appears that Tape Gohareh had social and cultural interactions with ancient Bagistana and had a significant impact on its historical landscape.
