Ali Abad Tape is a prehistoric site in the northern part of Bukan city, Western Azerbaijan Province, North Western Iran. It was an unknown site until some potsherds mostly belonged to Kura-Araxes culture uncovered at the time of digging the earth in search of fresh water by residents. The sherds were parallel to most excavated sites in the west and northwestern Iran known as Yanik Culture in archaeological literature of Iran. The site dated back to Early, Middle and Late Bronze Age.
