    Tell Abu Suwwan, A Neolithic Site in Jordan: Preliminary Report on the 2005 and 2006 Field Seasons Maysoon al-Nahar Department of Archaeology Institute of Archaeology University of Jordan Amman 11942, Jordan [email protected] Tell Abu Suwwan is the only Neolithic site excavated north of the Zarqa River in Jordan. Its architectural characteristics and the diagnostic lithic artifacts discovered at the site during the University of Jordan 2005 and 2006 field seasons, directed by the author, suggest that the site was occupied continually from the Middle Pre-Pottery Neolithic Phase B (MPPNB) to the Yarmoukian (Pottery Neolithic) period. The site was divided by the excavator into two areas—A and B. Area A yielded a few walls, plaster floors, and orange clay. Area B yielded a large square or rectangular building with three clear types of plaster floors and an orange clay area. Both Areas A and B include numerous lithics, bones, and some small finds. Based on a recent survey outward from the excavated area, the probable size of Abu Suwwan is 10.5 ha (26 acres), and it contains complex architecture with a long chronological sequence. These attributes suggest that Tell Abu Suwwan is one of the Jordanian Neolithic megasites. introduction though the site contains a distinctive architecture, it shares various similarities with several other Levan- ell Abu Suwwan is a large Neolithic site in tine Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPN) sites, e.g., Jericho T north Jordan; it is on the east side of the old (Kenyon 1956: 69–77; 1969), Tell Ramad (de Con- Jarash–Amman highway, immediately before tenson 1971: 278–85), Tell Abu Hureyra (Moore, the turn west to Ajlun (fig.

  • The Expulsion of Christians from Nineveh
    Nasara The Expulsion of Christians from Nineveh Paul Kingery Introduction: Mosul is Iraq’s second largest city, the site of Biblical Nineveh where Jonah and Nahum preached, and where later, according to local tradition, Jesus’ Apostles Thomas and Judas (Thaddeus) brought the Aramaic language of Jesus and His teachings. They had many converts in the area. The church there preserved the language of Jesus into modern times. The ancient Assyrian villages near water sources in the surrounding arid lands also had many Christian converts by the second century despite the continued strong presence of Assyrian, Greek, and Zoroastrian religions. Most of the Assyrian temples were converted to Christian worship places. Early Christians there faced great persecution and many were killed for their faith, including Barbara, the daughter of the pagan governor of Karamles. One of the hills beside the city is named after her. Through the centuries priests came from various religious orders and divided Christians into several sects, some loyal to the Catholic tradition, others adhering to Eastern leadership. Mohammad began preaching Islam around 610 A.D., facing violent opposition to his teachings for twenty years from tribes in the area of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Even so, his movement grew in numbers and strength. In December 629, he gathered an army of 10,000 Muslim converts and invaded Mecca. The attack went largely uncontested and Muhammad seized the city (Sahih-Bukhari, Book 43, #658). His followers, increasingly radicalized, went on to invade other cities throughout Iraq and all the way to Europe, Africa, and Asia, giving the option of conversion or death.

  • DIANA KIRKBRIDE-HELBAEK 1915-1997 the School's Director for the Years 1970-1975, Diana Kirkbride-Helbaek, Died in Aarhus on 13Th August 1997, at the Age of 81
    DIANA KIRKBRIDE-HELBAEK 1915-1997 The School's Director for the years 1970-1975, Diana Kirkbride-Helbaek, died in Aarhus on 13th August 1997, at the age of 81. Diana Victoria Warcup Kirkbride was one of the first students of Western Asiatic archaeology under Kenyon and Mallowan at the Institute of Archaeology in London, and was already a well-known personality in Near Eastern archaeology when she was appointed to the Directorship of the British School of Archaeology in Iraq, in succession to David Oates. A long obituary notice by Karen I. Wright appeared in the Independent newspaper for 5th September 1997. She had worked in Cyprus, Palestine, Lebanon, and especially Jordan, where her discovery and large-scale excavation of Beidha had transformed views of the earlier Neolithic of the Near East. Diana was not one to sit on her laurels, and immediately on arrival in Iraq she was in the field looking for a promising site. Her liking for the desert, and her knowledge of the Neolithic of the Levant naturally drew her westwards, and after a survey of sites in the Hatra region, her choice fell on Umm Dabaghiyah, where she worked for four seasons (1971-1974). Despite her initial disgust when it transpired that what she had intended to be an aceramic site had plenty of pottery, the site well repaid her labours, and her account of it in 50 years of Mesopotamian discovery makes fascinating reading. The four levels of the mound were meticulously dug and recorded to her own high standards, and proved to conceal a number of surprises, including sophisticated domestic architecture with built-in chimneys and wall-paintings, and a large structure with more than 100 small cells and a vast quantity of onager bones.

The aqueduct at Jerwan- identified by Dr. Jacobsen at the end of the 1931/32 season-was explored by the two authors of this volume in March and April, 1933, on the strength of a sounding permit of four weeks' validity.

  • The Late PPNB “World” Systems in Northern Mesopotamia and South Levant
    Anejos a CuPAUAM 3, 2018, pp. 45-68 http://dx.doi.org/10.15366/ane3.rubio2018.004 The Late PPNB “World” Systems in Northern Mesopotamia and South Levant: agglomeration, control of long distance exchange and the transition of early religious centers to central villages El Sistema “Mundial” del PPNB Final en el Norte de Mesopotamia y el Sur del Levante: Aglomeraciones, control del intercambio a larga distancia y transición de los primeros centros religiosos a poblados centrales Jesús Gil Fuensanta1 Alfredo Mederos Martín2 Abstract During the Aceramic Neolithic (PPN) period of the Near East, many economic and societal changes took place. During the PPNA is when we recognize a process of agglomeration of hundreds people in big sites such as Jericho. The archaeo- logical record proves more than likely contacts between the contemporary societies of the Levant and some Eastern and Central Anatolian sites. The extent of those far contacts is hard to estimate, but we assume that such contacts and the trade network, which we can study mainly through the obsidian trade, using terrestrial and maritime routes, with the interaction of big villages though a few intermediary steps, already full operating at that time, must have helped to transform the local hierarchies, economic interdependences and rituals, and for instance it could accelerated the end of Göbekli Tepe around mid PPNB. And therefore during the Late PPNB consolidated the central villages, key nodes in the trade networks, and these, in different ecological regions, reached between 10 and 15 ha, v. gr. in Basta, Beisamoun or ‘Ain Ghazal. And in such a way, those built interdependent Ancient “World” Systems.

  • ASOR Cultural Heritage Initiatives (CHI): Planning for Safeguarding Heritage Sites in Syria and Iraq1
    ASOR Cultural Heritage Initiatives (CHI): Planning for Safeguarding Heritage Sites in Syria and Iraq1 NEA-PSHSS-14-001 Weekly Report 117–118 — November 1-15, 2016 Michael D. Danti, Allison Cuneo, Susan Penacho, Marina Gabriel, Kyra Kaercher, Jamie O’Connell, Richard Zettler, Ali Jabuuri Executive Summary During the reporting period, heavy weaponry and bombardment resulted in significant damage to cultural sites in Syria. In Aleppo Governorate, mortar fire from Opposition Forces damaged a mosque in Aleppo and a mortar shell damaged the Maronite Diocese Office in Damascus. Aerial bombardment resulted in damage to places of worship in Rif Dimashq, Aleppo, Hama, and Idlib Governorates. Despite significant losses of territory as Iraqi forces have marched toward Mosul, ISIL continues to engage in the intentional destruction of heritage places, resulting in significant losses. The Latin Church in Mosul, also known colloquially as the Clock Tower Church, was demolished by militants during the reporting period. Additionally, the Ziggurat at the archaeological site of Nimrud, the ancient Assyrian capital of Kalhu, was completely leveled, with destruction beginning at some point between September 31 and October 2, 2016 and continuing until October 16. The liberation of areas east and south of the city by the Mosul Operation has revealed new evidence of damage to cultural sites that occurred earlier during the ISIL occupation of Ninawa Governorate. These regions are home to predominantly Christian populations, and much of the related news media and open source coverage has focused on damaged places of worship and civilian property. Reports so far have covered damage to multiple sites in the towns of Batnaya, Bakhdida (Qaraqosh), Karamlish, and Bartella.
