MAEIR (Bar-llan University) and Hendrik J. BRUINS (Ben-Gurion University) Tell es Safi/Gath: A Project of Environmental Reconstruction This environmental research project is part of an ongoing, long-term archeological project that has been conducted at Tell es-Safi/Gath since 1996. Located in central Israel, Tell es-Safi/Gath is considered one of the country’s largest pre- Hellenstic archeological sites, and identified as the biblical “ Gath of the Philistines.” The project is directed by Prof. Aren Maeir from the Institute of Archaeology at Bar-Ilan University. The aims of this research were to reconstruct the ancient environment and to investigate the impact of human activities on the evolution of the landscape in the area surrounding Tell es-Safi/Gath over the past 3000 years. Three landscape structures that have preserved evidence of the ancient landscape forms were investigated. T hese structures are: A human-made trench/moat, agricultural terraces in a first-order catchment basin and an alluvial terrace section. The results show that sedimentation in the given structures occurred during the Iron Age and Byzantine period. Chronostratigraphic interrelation analysis, combining human history and landscape history, shows that high levels of human activity during the Iron Age and Byzantine period led to a high rate of erosion and degradation of the landscape in sensitive units. A reduction in human activity enabled regeneration and stabilization of landscape components. Giorgio AFFANNI (Dpt. di Studi Linguistici ed Orientali – Un. degli Studi di Bologna) Astragalus Bone in Ancient Near East: Ritual Depositions in Iron Age I in Tell Afis Astragali found in Ancient Near East have been interpreted in different ways and the use of these bones was wide- ranging: gaming pieces, amulets, divining instruments or ritual objects linked to cult. Recently they have been considered also as primitive money. Astragalus is a bone which bears a particular symbolic meaning based on its specific conformation and on its location in the animal body. The custom to depose astragali during the construction and repair of a building and of the relative floor, probably with propitiatory aims, is well documented in Iron Age I in Tell Afis. Three lots of taluses, relating to the stone foundations of walls, have been recovered. The paper will deal with this and others particular practices in which astragali were used in Tell Afis. Data drawn from the archaeological analysis of the deposits in their contexts and the paleozoological study of the finds give evidence of a connection between hoarding of astragalus bone, animal offering and selection of animals killed whose bones were used in such occasions. Alexander AHRENS (Altorientalisches Seminar, University of Tübingen) Egyptian and Egyptianizing Stone Vessels from the Royal Tomb at Tall Mišrife/Qatna (Syria) – Imports and Local Imitations Among the many finds within the Royal Tomb of Qatna were more than fifty stone vessels, some of them being genuine Egyptian imports, others obviously locally produced imitations of Egyptian forms and Levantine variations. Dealing with one of the biggest corpus of stone vessels found in Syria so far, this paper aims to give an introduction to their typology and the specific differences of manufacture, but also tries to evaluate the intercultural exchange systems in the Eastern Mediterranean during the second millennium B.C. by using the results obtained through the analysis of these vessels. Furthermore, two of the stone vessels within the Royal Tomb bear hieroglyphic inscriptions. These inscriptions cannot only give new information concerning the “ history” of those specific vessels, but might also be used as a key to shed new light on the nature of the relations between the Northern Levant and Egypt. 2 Bahram AJORLOO (University of Tehran) The Neolithization Process in Azerbaijan How Azerbaijan was neolithized? The Study on the Neolithic process in Azerbaijan, particularly in the Urmia Lake basin, is still problematic. The majority of the Neolithic sites are reported from the west bank of Urmia Lake rather than other zones in Azerbaijan. In this zone, in contrast to the Mesopotamia, the Neolithic sites are close to each other.In spite of the 1960s-1970s investigations there is no enough evidence to solve the problem of transition of Epi- Palaeolithic to the early Neolithic period in Azerbaijan. R. Solecki, based on the data from his 1960s investigations, emphasizes that transition of Epi-Palaeolithic to PN is still problematic. It seems there took place a cultural sharp change to PN. The project of R. Dyson, Jr. in 1960s concluded that the Neolithization process in Azerbaijan was socio- cultural sharp change because of the migrated people from Iraqi Zagros during the early Neolithic villages. Nonetheless that project has not any attention to the other banks of the lake & Mughan plain. According to this study it is necessary to review in the previous investigations because of: 1- Those have not paid any attention to the relationships between Azerbaijan and its Eco-tones. 2- There was no evidence from Mughan plain-Araxes valley in analyzing process. 3- The main data are merely from west bank of the Urmia Lake. 4- The previous investigations have ignored the interactions betweenthe Azerbaijan & Iranian central Zagros where the Neolithic periodis well known. Re-analyzing the previous investigations in association with the data from 24 surveyed-excavated sites and also recent investigations in Qazvin plain, Mughan steppe and Nakhchivan are the main approaches in order to re-understanding the Neolithization process in Azerbaijan. It is necessary, however, to analyze whole of Azerbaijani data in comparison with the data from eastern Anatolia and Iraq. Hassan AKBARI (University of Tehran) Transformation from Neolithic to Calcolithic in Idier Fardous AL AJLOUNY (The Hashemite University) The Early Bronze Age Groundstones from Khirbet ez-Zeraqon, Northern Jordan. Typological, Analytical and Ethnoarchaeological Study This paper is aimed at presenting the results of the project of studying the three hundred and ninety three pieces of groundstones recovered from Khirbet ez-Zeraqon in the seasons of excavations of 1984-1994. Khirbet Ez Zeraqon is an Early Bronze Age site located about 1 kms northeast of Irbid in northern Jordan. The pieces recovered there will be typologically and analytically classified according to the evolution of their forms, and their function. One important aspect of the study is the manufacturing techniques used by ancient people: were the users of these tools the same as manufacturers? Or was manufacturing ground tools a special handicraft that developed through ages and required special skills? In order to answer these questions an ethnoarchaeological study of the ground stones that are still used by many people today in the surrounding areas of Khirbet ez Zeraqon is being conducted. The whole area south of Yarmouk River and around Esh-Shallaleh Basin such as Bishra, Saal, Mughayir, Ain Rahub…etc is included. Maysoon AL-NAHAR (University of Jordan) Tell Abu es Sawwn First Season Excavation A Neolithic site, Jordan Tell Abu es Sawwan site located in Jordan to the east side of the Jarash Amman high way just before the turn to Ajloun. Many archaeologists and non-archaeologists visited the site through the last decades. T he University of Jordan started the first season of excavation in summer 2005. The site comprised a unique structure with three clear plaster floors, which indicates that the site has been occupied for a long time. Many diagnostic lithic tools such as arrowheads and scrapers were found. The lithic tools, structures, and the different features found at the site demonstrate that Tell Abu es Sawwan is a Pre Pottery Neolithic B site. This site is one of the mega Pre Pottery Neolithic B sites in Jordan. Few PPNB sites found in the north of Zarqa River during the different surveys conducted in the area. Tell abu es Sawan is the only site PPNB site excavated in north of Zarqa River. Javier ÁLVAREZ-MON (University of California, Berkeley) The Arjan Ring: A Masterpiece of Ancient Near Eastern Art In 1982 a burial was found in the vicinity of Arjan, about 11 km northeast of the present-day city of Behbahn (southwestern Iran). T he Arjan tomb included a number of unique masterpieces of superior artistic value and rare craft. A bath-tub bronze coffin contained the skeletal remains of an adult male lying on his back. His right arm was bent in the direction of the chest, resting on top of a fabulous golden ring bearing emblems of Elamite power. In 2003, I had the privilege to access the unique collection of items found in the Arjan tomb. As a result, I would like to provide an 3 updated assessment of the Arjan ring, including a new drawing of its repouss and chased design namely: a palmette tree flanked by two rampant antithetical lion-headed griffin standing on a mountain and a discussion of its art historical significance which includes both, an effort to locate this piece chronologically, and to identify its function and ideological bearing within the later part of the Neo-Elamite period (ca. 650 BC).

  • TJG-Mar 17-Yazd
    Tuesday, March 17, 2015 Jakarta Globe Life & Style 23 In Yazd, an Eternal Flame Burns Bright Wahyuni Kamah visits the Persian desert city at the heart of an ancient and intriguing religion arrived at the main bus terminal in Yazd, the capital of the eponymous province in Iran, at night, and immediately I had the impression of a city that was wide sprawling. There were no high-rise buildings visible, Iand the city stretched out flat and low. I couldn’t wait until day broke to see and explore the city, located about 630 kilometers southeast of Tehran. Yazd was the center of Zoroastrianism when the Sasanian Empire (224 to 651 C.E.) ruled Persia, and takes its name from Yazdegerd I, one of the rulers of the dynasty, who reigned from 399 to 421. Zoroastrianism is an ancient mono- theistic religion founded more than 3,500 years ago by Zoroaster (or Zarathustra), and was the predominant faith during the Sasanian era. I wanted to know more about it, so the next morning I hired a taxi to take me to the Towers of Silence, among the last remnants of that time. Located in the middle of the country and surrounded by deserts — Dasht-e- Kavir to the north and Dasht-e-Lut to the The Towers of Silence, top, in the desert outside Yazd served as funerary structures for the south — Yazd is the driest city in Iran.

  • 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.
