General view,looking northwest slopes may have been greater under glacial or peri- glacial environmentsthan they are today. After the LGM about 20 ka (MIS 2), several incision events occurred.7 These events are presumed to have partly coincided with the lowering of the Caspian Sea. Alluvial infilling could have also occurred in colder periods and the 20 mhigh terrace in the To- vuz River probably filled in the Younger Dryas at about 13–12 ka.8 The 20 mhigh terrace is also ob- served in the Zayam River east of Hacı Elamxanlı Tepe. The 4 mhigh terrace in the Tovuz River formed in the Holocene, possibly around 6–2 ka.9 The 60 mdeep Tovuz River valley suggests that the region around Qovlar was subject to exten- sive geological incisions at least after the late Pleis- tocene. This was caused by either the Caspian Sea level fluctuations, tectonic displacement by faults running along the Kura River, or climatic changes. The longitudinal profile of the Tovuz River shows a prominent knickzone at ca. 700–1300 ma.s.l. and the incision in the downstream alluvial reach with a straight profile should be associated with the pro- pagation of the knickzone or knickpoints.

Topographic map showing the geographic re- lationship between Hacı Elamxanlı Tepe and Go¨ytepe Along with the long-term incision trend of sur- roundingrivers in the Holocene, availability of water for humans on the alluvial fans may have changed. The rapid incision forming the 20 mter- race along the Tovuz and Zayam Rivers may have affected the watertable on alluvial fans. This base level decrease could have thus been linked to alo- cational shift of surficial springs on the fans. More- over, an associated decrease in surface water dis- charge from the upstream mountains could have occurred. (Y. Hayakawa) 2012 Excavation season In order to record the site’s entire occupational his- tory by defining architectural levels, an initial ex- cavationarea at Hacı Elamxanlı Tepe was opened at Square M10 (5  5 m) encompassing the highest part of the mound (Figs. 6; 7).For this purpose, our excavations recorded the stratigraphic positions of major architectural remains as key features for de- fining stratigraphicunits. This includes deposits and featuresrelated to the construction, use, and aban- donment of the architectural remains. To organize the stratigraphic relationships of various architectur- al remains and archaeological deposits, we identi- fied spatial units as ‘‘context,’’ which corresponds to adepositional unit (e.g., amudbrick wall, build- ing floor, pit fill, or cluster of artifacts) or an exca- vation unit (e.g., each excavation grid made on a buildingfloor for recording spatial distribution of floor deposits). Using contexts as aunit of strati- graphic analysis, we grouped them by building level based on their stratigraphic relationship with major architectural features. Artifacts, ecofacts, and other sampleswere primarily collected by contexts.

  • Reducing Transboundary Degradation in the Kura-Aras Basin
    UNDP Project Document Governments of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia United Nations Development Programme United Nations Office for Project Services Reducing Transboundary Degradation in the Kura-Aras Basin The Project will assist the Kura-Aras riparian states to 1) identify the principal threats and root causes of the trans-boundary water resources of the Kura Aras-River Transboundary Basin and 2) develop and implement a sustainable programme of policy, legal and institutional reforms and investments to address these threats. Balancing overuse and conflicting uses of water resources in transboundary surface and groundwater basins is seen as the critical issue in the basin and will be a principal focus of project attention from the very outset of project related activities. The Project will create synergies with and build upon a range of initiatives being undertaken by the countries themselves and those of bi-lateral and multi- lateral donors that have given priority to the Basin. The long-term development/environmental goal of the project is sustainable development of the Kura-Aras River Basin enhanced through ecosystem-based Integrated Water Resource Management approaches. The project objective is to improve the management of the Kura-Aras River Transboundary Basin through the implementation of a sustainable programme of policy, legal and institutional reforms and investment options using the Trans-boundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) and Strategic Action Programme (SAP) process. In order to achieve this objective, the project will update the TDA, support National IWRM plans which will be the base of the SAP, undertake a range of public involvement and awareness activities focusing on trans-boundary activities, and undertake demonstration projects that implement key aspects of the SAP.

  • Between Feasts and Daily Meals. Towards an Archaeology Of
    Between Feasts and Daily Meals Susan Pollock (ed.) BERLIN STUDIES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD – together in a common physical and social setting – is a central element in people’s everyday lives. This makes com- mensality a particularly important theme within which to explore social relations, social reproduction and the working of politics whether in the present or the past. Archaeological attention has been focused primarily on feasting and other special commensal occasions to the neglect of daily commensality. This volume seeks to redress this imbalance by emphasizing the dynamic relation between feasts and quotidian meals and devoting explicit attention to the micro- politics of Alltag (“the everyday”) rather than solely to special occasions. Case studies drawing on archaeological ( material) as well as written sources range from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age in Western Asia and Greece, Formative to late pre-Columbian com munities in Andean South America, and modern Europe. berlin studies of 30 the ancient world berlin studies of the ancient world · 30 edited by topoi excellence cluster Between Feasts and Daily Meals towards an archaeology of commensal spaces edited by Susan Pollock Bibliographic information published by the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek lists this publication in the Deutsche Nationalbibliographie; detailed bibliographic data are available in the Internet at http://dnb.d-nb.de. © 2015 Edition Topoi / Exzellenzcluster Topoi der Freien Universität Berlin und der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Cover image: Wall plaque with feasting scene, found in Nippur.

  • Eastern Georgia and Western Azerbaijan, South Caucasus)
    Synopsis of the terrestrial vertebrate faunas from the Middle Kura Basin (Eastern Georgia and Western Azerbaijan, South Caucasus) MAIA BUKHSIANIDZE and KAKHABER KOIAVA Bukhsianidze, M. and Koiava, K. 2018. Synopsis of the terrestrial vertebrate faunas from the Middle Kura Basin (Eastern Georgia and Western Azerbaijan, South Caucasus). Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 63 (3): 441–461. This paper summarizes knowledge on the Neogene–Quaternary terrestrial fossil record from the Middle Kura Basin accumulated over a century and aims to its integration into the current research. This fossil evidence is essential in understanding the evolution of the Eurasian biome, since this territory is located at the border of Eastern Mediterranean and Central Asian regions. The general biostratigraphic framework suggests existence of two major intervals of the terrestrial fossil record in the area, spanning ca. 10–7 Ma and ca. 3–1 Ma, and points to an important hiatus between the late Miocene and late Pliocene. General aspects of the paleogeographic history and fossil record suggest that the biogeographic role of the Middle Kura Basin has been changing over geological time from a refugium (Khersonian) to a full-fledged part of the Greco-Iranian province (Meotian–Pontian). The dynamic environmental changes during the Quaternary do not depict this territory as a refugium in its general sense. The greatest value of this fossil record is the potential to understand a detailed history of terrestrial life during demise of late Miocene Hominoidea in Eurasia and early Homo dispersal out of Africa. Late Miocene record of the Middle Kura Basin captures the latest stage of the Eastern Paratethys regression, and among other fossils counts the latest and the easternmost occurence of dryopithecine, Udabnopithecus garedziensis, while the almost uninterrupted fossil record of the late Pliocene–Early Pleistocene covers the time interval of the early human occupation of Caucasus and Eurasia.
