The cemetery is dated from the 14th to the 10th centuries BC by Negahban relying on stylistic analyses of the material. This dating has been accepted by most scholars, but some lean toward the low end of this time span by pointing out a few artifacts characteristic of 8th - 7th centuries BC. Based on the similarities between the objects of Marlik and the Urartian material, few people even tend to lower the chronology of Marlik to the 6-7 centuries BC. However, further typological analysis of the Iron Age material from Marlik and other sites in the Caspian region showed that all of the stone-built tombs at Marlik were constructed and used for richly furnished interments during the Iron Age I (second half of the 2nd millennium BC) some of which were reused for secondary burials during Iron Age III (1st millennium BC). A new chronological scheme for the relative and calendar dating of the necropolis of Marlik is achieved through an artifact seriation based on a typological categorisation of the finds and their occurrence in certain tombs(Piller 2008). Accordingly, three successive chronological stages are determined in the cemetery which are called Early Marlik Culture (15th - 13th Cent. BC), Classic Marlik Culture (12th - 11th Cent. BC), and Late Marlik Culture (10th Cent. BC). A number of toms of Early Marlik culture were reused for later inhumations during the Iron Age III.

Bereits in den Jahren 2004-2013 hatten auf dem Gelände des ehemaligen "Baierlgrundstücks" bauvorgreifende Untersuchungen stattgefunden. Die Neuaufstellung des Bebauungsplans "Gesundheitszentrum" machte ab Juli 2021 erneute Grabungen am östlichen Ortsrand von Eichendorf notwendig. Es konnten jeweils zahlreiche Befunde vom Mittelneolithikum bis zum frühen Mittelalter erfasst werden, darunter auch Abschnitte eines eisenzeitlichen Erdwerks mit zwei mächtigen Gräben und einer Torsituation. Funde wie Bruchstücke einer rot-weiß bemalten
