Running Amuq with Obsidian RUNNING AMUQ WITH OBSIDIAN A STUDY ON SUPRA-REGIONAL SOCIO-ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIPS IN THE NEAR EAST AS SEEN THROUGH OBSIDIAN CONSUMPTION PRACTICES IN THE AMUQ VALLEY (S.E. TURKEY) (CA. 6000 – 2400 B.C.E.) By LAUREN RENNIE, B.Sc. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Lauren Rennie, 2019 McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2019) Hamilton, Ontario (Anthropology) TITLE: A study on supra-regional socio-economic relationships in the Near East as seen through obsidian consumption practices in the Amuq Valley (S. E. Turkey) (ca. 6000 – 2400 BCE) AUTHOR: Lauren Rennie, B.Sc. (University of Calgary) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Tristan Carter NUMBER OF PAGES: 1-277 ii Lay Abstract This research involved the chemical analysis of 290 artefacts of archaeological obsidian – a naturally occurring substance made of crystallized lava - as a means of studying ancient exchange systems in the Near East. More specifically, this study covers archaeological periods from 6000 B.C.E. (Late Neolithic) to 2400 B.C.E. (Early Bronze Age) in the Amuq Valley region of southern Turkey. These artefacts were procured during excavations under the Oriental Institute Museum (University of Chicago) beginning in the 1930s. All artefacts are exotic to the Amuq Valley from several known obsidian outcrops in Anatolia (Turkey), some over 1000km away. Analysis was conducted using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to match each artefact to its geological origin thereby identifying the range of exotic materials were exchanged across long-distances. The goal of this research was to uncover social and/or economic dynamics of the Amuq Valley through deep-time with regards to the greater obsidian trade network of the Near East. iii Abstract Southern Turkey’s Amuq Valley has been described as a point of convergence bridging distant regions within the ancient Near East. Through an in depth techno- typological and chemical characterization study of 290 obsidian artefacts, this research details changes in deep-time patterns of obsidian use from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age (6000 BCE – 2400 BCE), arguing that shifting traditions of consumption reflect socio-economic developments both within and beyond the Northern Levant. These artefacts come from the three sites of Tell al- Judaidah, Tell Dhahab and Tell Kurdu, the material excavated during the 1930’s by the University of Chicago’s Oriental Institute. Methodologically raw material sourcing was achieved using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (EDXRF) in the well-established McMaster XRF Lab [MAX Lab]. With these artefacts’ raw materials all being exotic to the Amuq Valley, originating from various outcrops in Cappadocia, the Lake Van region and Transcaucasia (Turkey and Armenia), over 1000km away, this study not only offers new insight into how Amuq Valley communities engaged in long-distance relations, but also contributes to a larger, deep-time regional study of obsidian consumption as a proxy for understanding significant shifts in Near Eastern socio-economics, from hunter- gatherers to the earliest states. In turn, this study, by employing an Annales school framework to consider practice over deep time at the local and supra-regional level further contributes to an ‘archaeology of the long-term’. iv Keywords: The Amuq Valley, Near East, obsidian consumption, XRF, chemical characterization, techno-typological analysis, supra-regional connectivity, socio- economic relationships, long distance trade, Northern Levant, deep-time chronology. v Acknowledgements I acknowledge the privilege of conducting this research on the traditional territory shared by the Haudenosaunee confederacy and the Anishinabe nations under the Dish with One Spoon agreement. I would like to thank my supervisors Dr. Tristan Carter, and Dr. Aubrey Cannon, plus Kathryn Campeau for their time and dedication. My warm regards also goes out to Dr. Elizabeth Healey for her time and enjoyable conversation. I would also like give special thanks to the Oriental Institute Museum at the University of Chicago and Helen MacDonald for their contribution and generosity. Finally, my ever grateful appreciation goes out to John Silva in the Anthropology Department at McMaster University for his infinite support and to my many friends and family members who saw me through this experience. vi Table of Contents Lay Abstract …………………………………………………………………….iii Abstract ………………………………………………………………………… iv Acknowledgements ……………………………………………………………...vi List of Tables ………………………………………………………………….....xi List of Figures ………………………………………………………………….xvi List of Plates …………………………………………………………………..xxiii List of Abbreviations …………………………………………………………xxiv Declaration of Academic Achievement ………………………………….....xxvii Chapter 1: Introduction to the Thesis …………………………………………..1 1.0 Introduction ...…………………………………………………………1 Chapter 2: Background to the Project …………………………………………2 2.0 Introduction ………………………………………………………...…2 2.1 Historical Background to the Amuq Valley as a Region of Archaeological Investigation …………………………………………..….2 2.2 The sample collection………………………………………………….4 2.3 The study sites ……………………………………………………..… 5 2.3.1 Tell al-Judaidah ………………………………….……….….5 2.3.2 Tell Dhahab ……………………………………………….…6 2.3.3 Tell Kurdu …………………………………………………...6 2.4 The Amuq Sequence in detail …………………………………………7 2.4.1 Phase A ……………………………………………………...7 2.4.2 Phase B ……………………………………………………...9 2.4.3 Phase C …………………………………………………...…9 2.4.4 Phase D ………………………………………………….…10 2.4.5 Phase E …………………………………………………..…11 2.4.6 Phase F ……………………………………………………..12 2.4.7 Phase G …………………………………………………….13 2.4.8 Phase H …………………………………………………….14 2.5 Additional notes on the Amuq Valley Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Occupation Sequence ……………………………………………….15 2.6 Chapter 2 Tables and Figures ………………………………………...18 vii Chapter 3: An Overview of X-ray Fluorescence as Application for Obsidian Sourcing …………………………………………………………………………24 3.i Foreword ………………………..…………………………………….24 3.0 Introduction ……………………………………………………….…24 3.1 Part I, Sourcing versus characterization …………………………..…25 3.2 Part II, Obsidian …………………………………………………...…26 3.2.1 What is obsidian?

It introduces the legal framework and the stakeholders involved in conducting archaeological excavations and surveys. The current situation in archiving born-digital and digitised documentation produced during archaeological fieldwork is then introduced. Existing repositories serving as hubs for archaeological and heritage archiving are listed and briefly discussed. Analysis of online publishing practices for archaeological digital resources points to an eclectic landscape that only minimally complies with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. We conclude that guidelines for best practice in metadata and semantic technologies, locally applicable standards (especially controlled vocabularies), technical know-how, and a larger acceptance of open data and scholarship remain much-needed assets for archaeological digital archiving in Turkey. We also conclude that the future promises progress towards more interoperable archaeological digital archives thanks to international training, network and knowledge transfer opportunities (e.g. SEADDA Project). 1.

Festschrift für Jan- Waalke Meyer (Alter Orient und Altes Testament 371), Münster 2010, S. 397–425 Kizzuwatna – Ḥiyawa – Quwe Ein Abriss der Kulturgeschic hte des Ebenen Kilikien Mirko Novák, Tübingen Als junger Student der Vorderasiatischen Archäologie an der Universität des Saarlandes in Saarbrücken war ich von den Lehrveranstaltungen des Jubilars in besonderem Maße beeindruckt, scha ffte er es doch immer wieder, die geo- graphischen und chronologischen Gren zen unseres Faches zu überschreiten und neue methodische Wege aufzuzei gen. Seine vielfältigen Anregungen waren, rückblickend gesehen, in sehr st arkem Maße prägend und haben sich in unserer gemeinsamen Berliner Zeit noch vertieft. Neben dem Interesse an der islamischen Archäologie, die ic h von ihm »geerbt« habe, verdanke ich ihm auch den Blick auf die Levante, mit der er sich seinerzeit im Rahmen seiner Habilitationsschrift zu den Stempe lsiegeln aus dem ‘Amuq-Gebiet in- tensiv beschäftigte. Den nördlichsten Abschnitt der Levante bildet die Tiefebene Kilikiens, die heutige Çukurova, die dem ‘Amuq-Ge biet nordwestlich benachbart ist. Geographisch wie kulturell stellte die se Region immer eine Schnittstelle dar zwischen Nordsyrien, der levantinisch en Küste und Zypern einerseits sowie dem Hochland Anatoliens andererseits, als dessen Teil sie oft fälschlich an- gesehen wird. Im Verlauf ihrer politi schen Geschichte wechselten sich Epo- chen politischer Selbständigkeit von solchen einer Zugehörigkeit zu den großen altorientalischen Großreichen der Hethiter, Mittani, Assyrer und Ba- bylonier ab. Im folgenden wird der Versuch unt ernommen, die wechselvolle Kultur- geschichte des Ebenen Ki likien summarisch darzustellen in der Hoffnung, dass diese Ausführungen das Interesse meines verehrten Lehrers und Freun- des Jan-Waalke Meyer finden mögen.
