Temukan, also known as Tamouken, or Toukeh as called by Greeks, is an ancient city in Iran, dating back to the Achaemenid era. It was discovered by archaeologists in April 2005 while conducting excavations at Borazjan in the southern Iranian province of Bushehr.
Archaeologists had thought that the site was part of Tavaj, however, other discoveries in the region, made in 2004 and 2005, indicate that Tavaj is actually several kilometers away from the site.
Temukan included the Dashtestan region as well as the central part of Bardak-e Siyah Palace.
