Abstract    analyzing administrative documents holds significant importance within the realms of archaeology and sociology, akin to the study of other archaeological evidence. these examinations play a pivotal role in reconstructing various systems, encompassing management, social dynamics, economic structures, and political frameworks. delving into administrative management within prehistoric societies unveils the intricate social intricacies and the supervision exercised by a designated leader or head over a subordinate group, representing an internal control mechanism. notably, seals, impressions on seals, and diverse accounting artifacts serve as pivotal administrative documents. however, the exploration and investigation of such cultural data in northwestern iran remain relatively scarce. therefore, the current study endeavors to present, evaluate, and scrutinize the administrative records of chalcolithic societies in northwestern iran, employing a descriptive-analytical approach. numerous inquiries persist without resolution regarding the administrative records and evidence pertaining to the later prehistory of northwest iran. ambiguity surrounds the quantification of chalcolithic administrative documents within this region. furthermore, the methodology for analyzing and evaluating the ownership and managerial evidence from the later prehistoric era in this area remains unclear. addressing these uncertainties can establish a definitive framework and a solid foundation for investigating these matters in northwest iran. leveraging administrative data obtained from various sites including tepe chay khoy, chakhmaqluq, tepe kulyeri (tepe caravanserai), sohachay tepe, and others, the authors conduct an assessment of managerial evidence in the northwestern region of iran. furthermore, utilizing extant cultural artifacts and drawing upon the outcomes of prior studies facilitates an exploration into phenomena such as long-distance trade, economic endeavors, social intricacies, and cultural exchanges with neighboring areas
