Attempting to delineate the western borders and boundaries of the Bactria-Margiana culture in northeastern and eastern Iran is one of the ways to understand the structure of this cultural period. The Bactria-Margiana culture is the predominant culture of the Middle and Late Bronze Age in Khorasan. This culture, abbreviated as BMAC, developed and spread from the mid-third millennium to the late second millennium BC in the geographical areas of northern Afghanistan, southern Turkmenistan, southern Uzbekistan, and eastern and northeastern Iran. The extent of the influence of this culture in eastern Iran has reached the provinces of North Khorasan, Razavi Khorasan, and South Khorasan. Delineating the borders of this culture contributes significantly to mapping the geographical boundaries of cultural Khorasan, identifying the cultural extent, and distinguishing and differentiating between archaeological materials and findings in contact areas. The main issue of this research is to determine the boundaries of the Bactria-Margiana culture in the Khorasan provinces (North, Razavi, and South) of Iran. Based on this, the following questions were raised: 1- Which areas are included within the sphere of influence of the Bactria-Margiana culture in Khorasan? 2- How can the presence of the Bactria-Margiana culture in Khorasan be explained? The method of this research is descriptive and analytical, and it involves library studies. The research results indicate that this culture has somewhat infiltrated parts of Khorasan in Iran, manifesting as settlements in North Khorasan and Razavi Khorasan and as cemeteries in South Khorasan.
