  • The Elamite Cylinder Seal Corpus, C.3500 – 1000 BC
    The Elamite Cylinder Seal Corpus, c.3500 – 1000 BC Volume I, Part III K. J. Roach Doctor of Philosophy, (Near Eastern) Archaeology 2008 The University of Sydney Chapter 5 – Summary of Style Distribution across the Elamite Sites The purpose of this chapter is to detail and outline the specific glyptic style distribution at each site included in the Corpus. This survey has two main objectives. The first is the summation and discussion of the Elamite styles from each site, and thereby the revision and reassessment of the ‘glyptic material’ survey presented for each site in the initial site survey section (Chapter 2), by detailing the site glyptic material in the terms of the new Elamite stylistic paradigm here presented. The second intention is to provide some of the background information and data, be it contextual, stylistic and chronological, regarding the function of various glyptic items at each site and across Elam, thereby enabling the following discussion on glyptic function (Chapter 6). The style distribution (how many styles and in what proportions) of each site will be presented, and thereby the basic chronological distribution of the glyptic material, with any necessary discussion where this information strongly contradicts the established chronological periodisation of a site, will be outlined. The glyptic material types (seals/sealings) and the specific materials will be presented, as will any information regarding seal function from provenance (that is, grave or temple context etc.) or type (sealing type especially). For the most part, this information may be presented and detailed in graphs, figures and tables. 5.1 Susa As already mentioned and explained, Susa has contributed by far the most items to the Corpus.

  • The Archaeology of Elam Formation and Transformation of an Ancient Iranian State
    Cambridge University Press 0521563585 - The Archaeology of Elam: Formation and Transformation of an Ancient Iranian State D. T. Potts Frontmatter More information The Archaeology of Elam Formation and Transformation of an Ancient Iranian State From the middle of the third millennium bc until the coming of Cyrus the Great, southwestern Iran was referred to in Mesopotamian sources as the land of Elam. A heterogenous collection of regions, Elam was home to a variety of groups, alternately the object of Mesopotamian aggres- sion, and aggressors themselves; an ethnic group seemingly swallowed up by the vast Achaemenid Persian empire, yet a force strong enough to attack Babylonia in the last centuries bc. The Elamite language is attested as late as the Medieval era, and the name Elam as late as 1300 in the records of the Nestorian church. This book examines the formation and transforma- tion of Elam’s many identities through both archaeological and written evidence, and brings to life one of the most important regions of Western Asia, re-evaluates its significance, and places it in the context of the most recent archaeological and historical scholarship. d. t. potts is Edwin Cuthbert Hall Professor in Middle Eastern Archaeology at the University of Sydney.

  • Download Chogha-Zanbil Brochure
    Foreword by the Director-General of UNESCO Chogha Zanbil, the great Elamite holy city, was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1979, making it one of the first cultural sites to be so recognized. Being such an exceptional site, it is particularly regrettable that it has been affected by serious conservation problems resulting both from the inher- ent fragility of its earthen constructions and from years of warfare. Rising to the challenge of safeguarding Chogha Zanbil, the UNESCO Division of Cultural Heritage sent a first team of experts to Iran in 1995 with a view to making recommenda- tions to ensure the sustainable conservation of the site. The resulting Project for the Conservation of Chogha Zanbil – the first major international cultural initiative since the Iranian Revolution – was subsequently launched thanks to generous donations from the Japanese and Iranian Governments, and the close collaboration between the Iranian Cultural Heritage Organization (ICHO) and UNESCO. I am very pleased to see that the project’s first phase, carried out from 1999 to 2002, has been successful. In addi- tion to implementing urgently needed restoration work, draw- ing up a General Plan for Conservation and developing training and research activities, the project has paved the way for future international and bilateral projects in Iran and else- where in Central Asia, a region particularly rich in earthen architecture. In the upcoming second phase, we look forward to contin- uing fruitful cooperation between UNESCO, ICHO, and the Governments of Japan and Iran, whose efforts to ensure the conservation of Chogha Zanbil will undoubtedly earn the grati- tude of future generations.

    141 Research Journal of Fisheries and Hydrobiology, 6(3): 141-155, 2011 ISSN 1816-9112 ORIGINAL ARTICLES The Probability of Karun River and Khozestan City Environmental Pollution Due to Seismic Response of Karun-4 Dam Zaniar Tokmechi Department of Civil Engineering, Mahabad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Mahabad, Iran ABSTRACT The Karun-4 dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Karun River in the province of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Iran. The Karun has the highest discharge of Iran's rivers. The objectives of the construction of Karun-4 dam and hydroelectric power plant are electric power supply and flood control. Historically Khuzestan is what historians refer to as ancient Elam, whose capital was in Susa. The Achaemenid Old Persian term for Elam was Hujiya, which is present in the modern name. Khuzistan, meaning the Land of the Khuzi refers to the original inhabitants of this province, the Susian people, Old Persian Huza or Huja (as in the inscription at the tomb of King Darius I at Naqsh-e Rostam, (the Shushan of the Hebrew sources) where it is recorded as inscription as Hauja or Huja. This is in conformity with the same evolutionary process where the Old Persian changed the name Sindh into Hind /Hindustan. In Middle Persian the term evolves into Khuz and Kuzi The pre- Islamic Partho-Sassanid Inscriptions gives the name of the province as Khwuzestan. In this paper, the probability of environmental pollution due to heavy metals caused by KARUN-4 dam failure is studied. Finite Element and ZENGAR methods are used to analyze the probability of pollution at dam downstream.

Correia 2 1 Pasargadae World Heritage Research Center, Iran - [email protected] 2 CI-ESG, Centro de Investigação, Escola Superior Gallaecia, Largo das Oliveiras 4920-251 Vila Nova de Cerveira, Portugal - [email protected] Commission II - WG II/8 KEY WORDS: Water-risk, Management, conservation, earthen heritage, Tchogha Zanbil ABSTRACT: Water-risk management is one of the most challenging issues in the conservation of earthen sites, because of the inherent weakness of earth to moisture, and also the severe damage after rainfall as a result of a combination of many factors in the deterioration processes. In Tchogha Zanbil World Heritage Site (WHS) in Iran, this problem causes more damage due to the heavy rains that impact the site in a short period of time. The property encompasses a vast area, which makes regular maintenance more difficult. Also, there are insufficient strategies for controlling water runoff on the structures. Archaeological studies have revealed an ancient system for managing surface water at this site which could be compatible and adaptable for further development of the current management system. This study aims to present sustainable approaches in managing water-risk in the Tchogha Zanbil WHS, by identifying the authenticity values, investigating the problems and challenges in the current water-management system, and more importantly, assessing ancient strategies for controlling water, based on archaeological evidence.

  • Of the Elamite and Achaemenid Inscribed Knobs

The Function(s) of the Elamite and Achaemenid Inscribed Knobs* like AT PERSEPOLIS (PF 335) housands of administrative tablets were found at Persepolis, but PF 335 is unique in its structure and lexicon, while its shape, rectangu- lar and written in lines running along the short side, is somewhat T 1 unusual. It is written in Elamite but one cannot find the usual administra- tive formulae, such as the widely attested kur-ma-n PN-na pointing to the person under whose responsibility the administrative operation took place.2 Instead, the text is made up by four entries (A-D) with a list of quan- tities and items, the total, an anthroponym3 and a verbal form, except for the last entry (D) where the latter is lacking: —————— * The present paper contains preliminary results of a series of research projects on Achaemenid epigraphy funded by the Italian Ministry of Education (PRIN 2005105580, PRIN 2007ZKPPSM, PRIN 2009JHSEE7), under the supervision of Prof. A.V. Rossi. 1 On the structure and lexicon of PF 335, see Basello 2011: 77-78.

These high-temperature magnetization data were obtained using a laboratory-built triaxial vibrating sample magnetometer. Together with our previously published archeointensity results from Mesopotamia, we constructed a rather detailed geomagnetic field intensity variation curve for this region from 3000 BC to 0 BC. Four potential geomagnetic events (“archeomagnetic jerks”), marked by strong intensity increases, are observed and appear to be synchronous with cooling episodes in the North Atlantic. This temporal coincidence strengthens the recent suggestion that the geomagnetic field influences climate change over multi-decadal time scales, possibly through the modulation of cosmic ray flux interacting with the atmosphere.

  • Characteristics of Direct Human Impacts on the Rivers Karun and Dez in Lowland South-West Iran and Their Interactions with Earth Surface Movements
    © 2016, Elsevier. Licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- NoDerivatives 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Characteristics of direct human impacts on the rivers Karun and Dez in lowland south-west Iran and their interactions with earth surface movements Kevin P. Woodbridge, Daniel R. Parsons, Vanessa M. A. Heyvaert, Jan Walstra, Lynne E. Frostick Abstract Two of the primary external factors influencing the variability of major river systems, over river reach scales, are human activities and tectonics. Based on the rivers Karun and Dez in south-west Iran, this paper presents an analysis of the geomorphological responses of these major rivers to ancient human modifications and tectonics. Direct human modifications can be distinguished by both modern constructions and ancient remnants of former constructions that can leave a subtle legacy in a suite of river characteristics. For example, the ruins of major dams are characterised by a legacy of channel widening to 100's up to c. 1000 m within upstream zones that can stretch to channel distances of many kilometres upstream of former dam sites, whilst the legacy of major, ancient, anthropogenic river channel straightening can also be distinguished by very low channel sinuosities over long lengths of the river course. Tectonic movements in the region are mainly associated with young and emerging folds with NW–SE and N–S trends and with a long structural lineament oriented E–W. These earth surface movements can be shown to interact with both modern and ancient human impacts over similar timescales, with the types of modification and earth surface motion being distinguishable.

Faculty of Science, Department of Biology, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran * Correspondence Author. Email: [email protected] Received 14 June 2007; accepted 1 December 2007 Abstract: This article lists 99 articles on distribution of wild birds in Iran, which appeared between 1876 and 1977 and which were published by authors writing in European languages. Each paper has a reference number and is supplied with annotations, giving the localities and time of year where the bird observations had been made. These localities are also listed on a separate website (www.wesca.net/podoces/podoces.html), supplied with coordinates and the reference number. With help of these coordinates and the original publications an historical atlas of bird distribution in Iran can be made. A few preliminary examples of such maps are included. Many authors also collected bird specimens in Iran, either to support their identifications or in order to enravel subspecies taxonomy of the birds of Iran. The more important natural history museums containing study specimens from Iran are listed.
