Excavations at Tal-e Malyan in the Kur Basin, southwest highland Iran have encountered two functionally distinct areas of Banesh occupation - the main occupation area called ABC and a smaller isolated mound called TUV. Economic interactions and the administration of these activities in these two areas were examined by the study of two independent sets of artifacts. First, analysis of animal bones from these areas implies a high degree of administrative complexity by indicating 1) a controlled meat provisioning to elite residents at ABC and 2) a growing complexity, differentiation and central coordination of meat distribution at TUV. Secondly, neutron activation of 58 seal impressed clays separate the ABC and TUV clays into two distinct compositional groups. This suggests internal disbursement and localized control over provisioning of goods within the Banesh Malyan site. Chemical analysis of two Proto-Elamite tablets found at ABC reveal two clay types - one clearly of ABC clay composition and the other very similar to the TUV clay sealings. When combined with a previous study of these tablets by M.W. Stolper which suggests a functional connection between ABC II and TUV III, these findings indicate that information about the local activities was passed on to a higher level of administrative control.
