The information that presents historical and historical geography can be the source of the Parthians in Northeast Iran, especially Khorasan and parts of the Gorgan plain. With the passage of time and changing the governmental centers of this series from the northeastern part of Iran to the Western lands, their arts and cultures have also been transformed, which can only be seen in the remnants of its western state centers. On the other hand, based on limited studies and heterogeneity in Khorasan, this cultural period can be considered completely unknown in this area. Based on archaeological investigations of the Mashhad plain, the Ismail-Abad Tappeh has been identified with surface materials belonging to the Parthian period.
