• We describe a ceramic collection gathered during a preliminary visit to the site of Chegerdak, in the southern piedmont of the Jazmurian depression (Sistan-Baluchistan, South-Eastern Iran). Chegerdak is one of the many prehistoric locations of Jazmurian that in recent times were affected by extensive lootings of important cemeteries and settlement sites. The ceramics collected on surface witness a local settlement that flourished for a good part of the 3rd millennium BC ; they also reveal important cultural links with the contemporaneous cultures and civilizations of the Halil Rud basin at north-west, the Sistan plains to the north-east and the Kech Makran valleys to the south-east
