Deh Luran plain
Dehloran is located in the northern part of Deh Luran plain. The ancient site of Chogha Sefid is just to the west of the village.
Deh Luran plain in the south of Ilam Province, along with the Susiana plain in Khuzestan to the southwest, has been the subject of the longest and the most extensive archaeological research in Iran. These two areas have been culturally very similar during the Chalcolithic age. The important sites on Deh Luran plain are Ali Kosh, Chogha Sefid, and Tepe Sabz.
Culturally, Deh Luran plain is known as a part of “Greater Susiana”.
