The site of Dinkha Tepe is located in the Ushnu valley of Iranian Azerbaijan. Sir Aurel Stein initially identified second-millennium BCE funereal deposits there. The University of Pennsylvania Museum, under Robert H. Dyson, jr. and Oscar White Muscarella, carried out further excavations in the late 1960s.
