  • A Modern Archaeology of the Sasanian Period: Former Limitations and New Perspectives
    Newsletter di Archeologia CISA, Volume 7, 2016, pp. 35-88 A MODERN ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE SASANIAN PERIOD: FORMER LIMITATIONS AND NEW PERSPECTIVES Bruno Genito, Università degli Studi di Napoli “L’Orientale” Introduction* It is never easy to handle theoretical and methodological issues arising from a particular scientific topic in a kind of review of studies, which is, in its way, what is being presented here. Studies of the archaeology of the Sasanian period have been the subject of numerous acute and critical comments by distinguished scholars in the past, including Huff (1986, 302-308) and more recently as well (1998-2011). Those issues which have been handled, too, have clearly always somewhat suffered from a complex of inferiority to other periods of the history of ancient Iran which are considered by far, the most formative and important: the Achaemenid and the Islamic eras. And this in spite of the fact that the majority of scholars have looked upon the period in question as a real golden age of Persian culture and art, and that it was quite often mentioned in later Islamic sources (including the Shah-nameh by Firdousi), as in many ways an apogee of the fabulous, formidable and legendary Persian Empires. For many scholars the archaeology of the Sasanian period and also that of the early Islamic period, as Whitcomb rightly has pointed out (2010, 5), has always been considered a part of history, and especially of the history of art. This classification, set in stone, has had a long and respectable tradition so far, but at last it has begun to be seen from a different perspective by a growing number of scholars.

  • 1 Iran Triplog October 10 to 12.We Started the Trip with an Overnight,13
    Iran Triplog October 10 to 12.We started the trip with an overnight,13-hour Qatar flight to Doha; followed by a 7-hour layover; and then a 2.5-hour flight to Tehran, arriving at 4 am on the 12th. We whisked through security and immigration (unlike others whose luggage was thoroughly searched) and we were met at the airport by a driver and the assistant guide, Javad. The drive to the Espinas Hotel (which turned out to be the best hotel of the trip) took about an hour and we checked in and napped for 3 hours or so before going to breakfast. October 12. We were pleased to discover when we checked in that the breakfast was included. It was a selection of yoghurts, cheeses, breads, cereals, various fruits, dates, honey, a spinach frittata “cucu sabzi”, etc., as well 3 or 4 hot selections and an omelet station. To varying degrees, this was the breakfast at each hotel, so we had lots of options and plenty of food. After breakfast, we walked around the neighborhood a bit, then walked to Laleh Park and spent some time walking there. It’s a very large park, and each time we walked there we discovered a new section. There is a small Japanese area with stepping stones, a stage with cement seating, an area where locals blocked off sections and put up nets for net games, a long waterway flanked with blooming oleander, sculptures of historical figures, and flower beds in various areas, a pond, an area of woods…oh, and lots of very well-fed cats.
