Teppe Zagheh’ S Anthropomorphic Figurines and Openness of Animist Worlds Archive of SID Religious Studies Vol. 7, No. 14, March 2020 Teppe Zagheh’s Anthropomorphic Figurines and Openness of Animist Worlds * Vahid Askarpur1 (Received: 2019-08-16; Accepted: 2019-11-11) Abstract Located 60 kilometers to the south of Qazvin, Teppe Zaghe is a low area of 15-hectre breadth which has been explored during14 archeological seasons. This article is allocated to a significant set of finds on the site: anthropomorphic boot figurines. The reason for conducting this study was to test an atomistic, meticulous and objective study of a type of anthropomorphic figurines in Teppe Zagheh in relation to archeological intra-site contexts, so we can reveal the ontological meaning of the presence of boot figurines from within the contextualist study. This research merely focuses on statuettes known as boot figurines, describing them in a classified manner according to variables of size, exhibition of organs, the context of the find, sex organs, adornments, fractures and special features. The three main contexts on the site in relation to the figurines are: the totality of the location of Teppe Zagheh, the engraved monument, and the archeological guess k. To explore the meaning of the figurines within an archeological framework they were placed in the contexts of “the animist world”, “life cycle”, and “ecological relations”. The result of the research is that the anthropomorphic boot figurines in the context of the location of Teppe Zagheh in the fifth/sixth millennium BCE provided room for thinking the unthinkable. Keywords: boot figurines, animist world, Teppe Zagheh, archeology of religion. * Associate Professor, Department of Archeology and Archaeography, Islamic Art University, Tabriz, [email protected]. www.SID.ir Archive of SID ژپوهشاهی ادیانی سال هفتم، شماره چهاردهم، پاییز و زمستان 8931، ص861ـ838 پیکرکهای انسانریخت زاغه و گشودگی جهانهای آنیمی1 * وحید عسکرپور ]تاریخ دریافت: 11/60/2311؛ تاریخ پذیرش: 2311/61/16[ چکیده ت ه زاغه، واقع در شصت کیلومتری جنوب قزوین، محوطهای کمارتفاع با 20 هکتار وسعت اسات که در 20 فصا کاوش شاده است. این مقا ه به مجموعهای مهم از یافتههای این محوطاه اتتصااااص دارد که عبارتاند از: »پیکر های انساااانرییت چکمهای«. آننه نگارش این مقا ه را موجب شااده به آزمون گذاشااتن معا عهای جزل نگرانه، دقید و عین درباره گونهای از پیکر های انسااانرییت زاغه در نساابت با بافتهای باسااتانشااناتت درونمحوطهای اسات تا بتوانیم معنای هسات شاناتت حضور پیکر های چکمهای را از بعن همین معا عه بافتگرایانه نمایان کنیم. در این پژوهش صارف ًا بر پیکر های معروف به »چکمهای« تمرکز شاااده و آنها نیز بر اسااااس متغیرهای اندازه، نمایش اندامها، بافت کشااار، اندامهای جنسااا ، تزیینات، شاااکساااتگ ها و ویژگ های تاص به شاااکل طبقهبندیشاده توصایر شدهاند. سه بافت اصل این محوطه نیز در نسبت با پیکر های موضاوع معا عه عبارتاند از: کلیّت اساتقرار زاغه، بنای منقوش و گمانه باستانشناتت K. برای معناکاوی پیکر های موضاااوع معا عه در چارچوب باساااتانشاااناتت ، آنها درون زمینههای »جهان آنیم «، »چرته زندگ « و »نسبتهای بومشناتت « جای داده شدهاند. حااصااا پژوهش آنکاه، پیکر های انساااانرییت چکمهای، در بافت اساااتقرار هزاره شااشاام/پنجم زاغه، با اسااتفاده از همان قابلیتهای ما ّدی تویش، عرصااهای را برای اندیشیدن به امر نااندیشیدن فراهم کردهاند. کلیدواژهها: پیکر های چکمهای، جهان آنیم ، زاغه، باستانشناس دین. www.SID.ir * استا یاخ گروه باستانه،اس و باستانس،ج ن ادشگاه ه،ر اسمم تاریون تاریون ایران [email protected] Archive of SID پیکرکهای انسانریخت زاغه و گشودگی جهانهای آنیمی / 111 درآمد محوطیه زاغیه یک از اسیییتقراخهای پیش از تاخی هیییت قووی واقع خ فمت مراوی ایران اسیت. ای م،طقه خ ن،ون خهیته اوه الارز واقع است. از یک سو به ام،ه آن خهیته اوه و از یگر سو به هتهای پست اخل فمت ایران امتدا م یابد. تمام اسیتقراخ خ ای محوطه حدو یک هواخه بو ه و ب،ا بر واپسی دتایج ادتشاخیافتهن به وخه »ادتقال مش و سییی،گ« تعلق اخ )Fazeli & et al., 2005(. تا پیش از ای،که پژوهشهای ندید خ ای م،طقه ادجام هیو ن زاغه قدیم تری اسیتقراخ آن محسون م هدن اما پش از هی،اسیای و ااوش محوطه های اون »ااخب،ه« و »ابراهیمآبا « )فاضالی نشلی و دیگران، 4981 الف و 4981 ب( هواهدی از وخان ات تر از آن دیو پیدا هد. تپیه زاغیهن واقع خ 56 ایلومتری ن،ون قووی ن محوطیه ای اماختفیاش با 95 هکتاخ وسیعت اسیت اه خ 94 فصین ااوش هده است. دتایج تاخیخ گذاخی ارب 94 االیارهن اسیتقراخ خ آن خا میان 5936 پ.م. تا 4246 پ.م. دشان م هد )فاضلی نشلی، 4984: 91(. ب،ابرای ن خوستای زاغه خ اواخر هواخه هشم پیش از میم خ هت حاصنخیو ب،ا دتا ه هیید اه دوع محیط دیمهن،گل با خختان مت،وشن م،ابع آن و زمی های حاصیینخیو بر آن حاام بو )مﻻصالحی و دیگران، 4984: 99(. ای مقاله به مجموعهای متم از یافتههای ای محوطه اختصیییاص اخ اه عااختادد از: »پیکرکهیای ادسیییان خی یت اکمیه ای«. ابتدا عوتاهلل دگتاان مجموعه پیکرکهای مکشوف از ای محوطه خا خ قالب مقالهای م،تشر ار )9134(؛ هرا،د اثر وی صرفاد به معرف و گودههی،اسی ای مصی،وعات گِل اواک اختصاص اهتن با ای حال درام طاقیه ب،دی م،اعث از آن خا هم ،ان م توان ما،ای خسیییت برای پژوهشهای یگر خ درر آوخ . وی خ آن مقییالییه یک از ادواش پیکرکهییای ادسیییانخی ییت خا ذییین ع،وان »اکمییهای« طاقییهب،ییدی ار ه اسیییت. از لحییاظ فرمهییی،ییاخت م توان ای گروه از ادسییییانخیی ییت هییای گیِل خا تطوّخیییافتییه و بییه مروخ زمییان مسیییاییّک هییییده )اسیتیلیوه( ادسان خی تهای دشسته و زدادهای ادست اه دموده معروف از آن به »ودو سیران « هتره است )Braidwood, 1961(. تمراو اصل ای مقالهن پژوهش بافتگرایاده و www.SID.ir Archive of SID 111 / پژوهشهای ادیانی، سال هفتم، شماره چهاردهم مع،اااواده خ بان همی گودههای پیکرا صییرفاد خ محدو ه محوطه زاغه اسییت. ای پژوهش از م،رری بومهیی،اخت صییوخت م گیر . مرا از مع،اااوی خ ای،جا پر اخت به ن،اههای دما ی و ساختاخهای زباد یا استعاخههای ذه، دیست. مع،اااوی مص،وعاتن خصییلتهای خاص خو خا اخ اه بسیییاخ متفاوت اسییت با مع،اااوی واژگانن و خلط ای و با یکدیگر ممک اسیت گمراه ا،،ده باهید )برای بحث مفصیین خ ای بان دک.: Hodder, 2012;

  • Death, Fire and Abandonment
    discussion article Marc verhoeven Death, fire and abandonment. Ritual practice at late neolithic Tell Sabi Abyad, Syria Abstract This article offers an interpretation of the structure and meaning of a mortuary ritual at Tell Sabi Abyad in Syria. Remains of this funeral have been uncovered in the 'Burnt Village', a late neolithic settlement largely destroyed by fire. The possibly intentional and ritual burning of the settlement is related to the mortuary rit- ual; it is suggested that here we have evidence for an extended 'death ritual' ending, but also transforming, human and material life. Death, fire and abandonment, then, seem to have been closely related. Some exam- pies suggest that these relations also existed at other neolithic sites in the Near East. Keywords Syria; Tell Sabi Abyad; Neolithic; intentional firing of settlement; death ritual Introduction In this article I shall explore the relationships between death, fire and abandonment in a neolithic settlement in Tell Sabi Abyad in Syria. Tell Sabi Abyad is located in the northern part of the Balikh valley, about 30 km from the Syrian-Turkish border (figure l).The prehistoric occupation at the mound, represented by an uninterrupted sequence of eleven main levels of occupation, can be assigned to the later neolithic period and has been dated at ca 6000-5000 B.C. (6860-5760 cal B.C.).1 Recent archaeological research has focused on one of these neolithic settlements, the so-called Burnt Village of level 6 (dated at ca 5200/5150 B.C., 5970- 5960 cal B.C.). Large parts of this village were reduced to ashes by a violent fire, which has resulted in an extraordinary preservation of architecture and related finds (Akkermans and Verhoeven 1995;Verhoeven 1999;Verhoeven and Kranendonk 1996, 38-63).2 One of the most fascinating discoveries in the Burnt Village consisted of two human skele- tons associated with a number of large oval clay objects.

  • Central Courtyard in Traditional Mosques of Iran
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 6 No 6 S7 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy December 2015 Central Courtyard in Traditional Mosques of Iran Vida Makani Lecturer, Faculty of Arts and Architecture, University of Mazandaran, Iran Email address: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n6s7p356 Abstract Although the “central courtyard” or “Sahn”—as an important part of Iranian mosques with its formal, conceptual, and functional richness—provides a unique spatial experience for worshipers, little research has been conducted on its qualitative and quantitative characteristics. The consequence of this lack of sufficient knowledge is that in today’s mosques, either the central courtyard is eliminated altogether or if it exists, it fails to create a favorable spatial quality. The present article aims to acquire a better knowledge of Sahn by studying it from various perspectives so as to determine its effectiveness on architecture and spatial quality. The field and library study methodology was used, and the collected data was obtained by analyzing the architecture of different mosques in Iran and by making comparisons with mosques in other countries. The results indicate that Sahn exert a fundamental influence in a mosque, and that eliminating or reducing its role in contemporary mosques has led to the deterioration of spatial quality. Keywords: Mosque, Sahn, Function, Spatial quality. 1. Introduction The “central courtyard” or “Sahn” has played a significant role in traditional mosques in Iran. From inside the Sahn, the viewer obtains a general understanding of the space and architecture of the mosque. Prophet Mohammad is quoted as saying, “Mosque is wherever you pray.” Therefore, no specific architectural elements or facilities are required to convert a given space into a mosque.

This is particularly relevant to the double-shell structure and the elaborate use of materials and themes in the decoration. Criterion (iii): Soltaniyeh as the ancient capital of the Ilkhanid dynasty represents an exceptional testimony to the history of the 13th and 14th centuries. Criterion (iv): The Mausoleum of Oljaytu represents an outstanding achievement in the development of Persian architecture particularly in the Ilkhanid period, characterized by its innovative engineering structure, spatial proportions, architectural forms and the decorative patterns and techniques. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS The mausoleum of Oljaytu was constructed in 1302-12 in the city of Soltaniyeh, the capital of the Ilkhanid dynasty, which was founded by the Mongols. Situated in the province of Zanjan, Soltaniyeh is one of the outstanding examples of the achievements of Persian architecture and a key monument in the development of its Islamic architecture. The octagonal building is crowned with a 50m-tall dome covered in turquoise blue faience and surrounded by eight slender minarets. It is the earliest existing example of the double-shelled dome in Iran. The mausoleum’s interior decoration is also outstanding and scholars such as A.U.

  • Ambiguity and the Self-Evident in the Study of Sedentism
    AMBIGUITY AND THE SELF-EVIDENT IN THE STUDY OF SEDENTISM ROSEMARY WHITECROSS A THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY FACULTY OF ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY 2016 ABSTRACT The thesis considers the basis and the logic of the propositions made in the past 300 years about the transition from a mobile lifestyle to a sedentary one, assessing the propositions in relation to their intellectual milieu. No particular position is defended or legitimated, nor is the study an attempt to create new definitions of sedentism or to seek to identify new indicators of sedentism in the archaeological record. Instead it considers how other people have sought to do this, in order to assess whether there has been something inherently problematic in the assumptions and logic that have been used. The study illustrates its point primarily through a review of English language scholarship with some small inclusions of English translations of opinions expressed in other languages. No stabilised, agreed or paradigmatic theories exist concerning a shift to sedentism, despite that transition being a major change in human behaviour, partially associated with the expansion of agricultural economies and integral to the development of urban life and the huge population increases of the last 8,000 years. Notwithstanding the scale and importance of the phenomenon, with a few notable exceptions, theorising on the subject has involved both ambiguity and the apparently self-evident. There is considerable ambiguity in English language definitions about what constitutes sedentism, and this becomes more complicated when definitions and opinions from other languages and cultural backgrounds are incorporated.
