New insights into the Neolithic architecture of the Southern Caucasus
Mouvements de populations dans le Sud-Caucase à la Protohistoire
Le Sud du Caucase se situe à la bordure du Croissant Fertile, où le Néolithique a débuté il y a plus de 10000 ans. Pourtant, l’agriculture et l’élevage y apparaissent avec environ deux millénaires d’écart. Les données archéologiques montrent que les différentes régions du Croissant Fertile (est de l’Anatolie, nord de la Mésopotamie, Iran) ont eu un rôle important dans l’émergence des cultures néolithiques du sud du Caucase. Afin de mieux comprend…
Transformations in the Caucasus
Based upon archaeological data and the first results of genomic studies, the article aims at understanding the successive cultural transformations at work in the Caucasus area (North and South) and along the Euphrates, starting from the Neolithic period up to the beginning of the 3rd millennium BCE. Long lasting cultural interactions with northern Mesopotamia are observed from the Neolithic to the middle of the 4th millennium. Questions are raise…
The use of natural resources at Mentesh Tepe during the Late Chalcolithic period and the Early Bronze Age
This article gives the results of the analyses made by several specialists on some of the raw materials (metal, obsidian and semi-precious stones) found at Mentesh Tepe (Middle Kura Valley, Azerbaijan) during the Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age periods. They show that the procurement zone extends between 30 to 300 km away from the site. The copper and arsenic sources used during the Late Chalcolithic period are confined to the volcanogenic…
Back to the Iron Age Chronology in Southern Central Asia
The article reconsiders two major sites of the 1st millennium BC in southern Uzbekistan, Kyzyltepa and Kurganzol. It contests their recent dating – exclusively the Achaemenid and transitional Hellenistic period for the first one, and the end of the 4th c . BC for the second one – mainly based upon dendrochronological analyses relating the samples to the time of Alexander the Great’s conquest or slightly before, and ruling out the other dates give…

Questioning the Oxus Civilization or Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Culture (BMAC)
The Oxus Civilization (ca. 2200–1700 BC), or Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC), is a relatively recent discovery, famous for its beautiful art masterpieces and seals, most of which come from tombs. Some are real imports (Indus, Iran, Mesopotamia) but most are reinterpretations of foreign pantheons or artifacts. Different interpretations have been advanced to explain the extraordinary network of relations brought to light (trade, migr…
New Insights into Sogdiana during the Classical Period (from the end of the 4th c. BCE to the 3rd c. CE)
The article intends to give a synoptic view of Sogdiana, from the Macedonian conquest to the beginning of the 3rd c. AD. It considers written sources and material culture from the most recent excavations, but it also relies upon previous works. It shows the importance of the nomadic component of its population since the very beginning. Most is of Scythian background and there is no evidence of any Yuezhi intrusion. Their mobility led to their par…

Des tessons Khirbet Kerak à Qalʿat Semʿan (Syrie)
La présence, à Qalʿat Semʿan, d’une quarantaine de tessons étrangers à la céramique byzantino-islamique du site, mais présentant la morphologie, le dégraissant, la couleur et le traitement de surface de l’assemblage connu sous le nom de Khirbet Kerak au Levant, ou Red-Black Burnished Ware dans l’Amuq, permet d’induire la présence d’une petite occupation associée et remontant au deuxième tiers du IIIe millénaire av. n. è. dans le Massif calcaire. …
Between cooking and knapping in the southern Caucasus
Antique Samarkand or Afrasiab II and III
The article deals with the Antique period of the old Samarkand. Using the old data from the Soviet excavations and the new one coming from the French-Uzbek ones, it gives stratified data leading to a finer distinction of the pottery between periods IIA, IIB and III . Proposals for their absolute dating and interpretation are added
Dietary inferences through stable isotope analysis at the Neolithic and Bronze Age in the southern Caucasus (sixth to first millenium BC, Azerbaijan)
Objectives Subsistence strategies are of great interest for understanding how prehistoric societies adapted to their environment. This is particularly the case for the southern Caucasus where relationships have been shown with the northern Caucasus and Mesopotamia since the Neolithic and where societies are alternately described as sedentary and mobile. This article aims, for the first time, to characterize human diets and their evolution using b…
De la théorie à la pratique, les travaux de Jean-Claude Gardin en Asie centrale
L’article relate une expérience personnelle de travail auprès de Jean-Claude Gardin en Afghanistan, d’une part lorsque celui-ci mettait en pratique ses théories de codification de la poterie sur le matériel céramique d’Aï Khanoum, et, d’autre part, lors d’une prospection en Bactriane orientale, lorsqu’il était en train d’élaborer Une archéologie théorique. Il montre le caractère méthodique et rigoureux de Jean-Claude Gardin et son efficacité sur …
Mentesh Tepe, an early settlement of the Shomu-Shulaveri Culture in Azerbaijan
Vegetation and plant exploitation at Mentesh Tepe (Azerbaijan), 6th–3rd millennium BC initial results of the archaeobotanical study
Les nomades avant l’Histoire
Le livre, 558 p., est divisé en 10 chapitres, le dernier (chap. x) étant la conclusion générale. Il comprend également une préface, 3 cartes, un appendice sur le concept de nomadisme et son évolution au cours des âges, une bibliographie de 86 pages contenant chacune de 20 à 25 références, et un index général. De très nombreuses notes, très détaillées et comprenant souvent des citations, figurent au bas de chaque page. Bien qu’écrit par un archéol…
The Early Bronze Age in Azerbaijan in the light of recent discoveries
L’article concerne l’âge du Bronze ancien en Azerbaïdjan, période au cours de laquelle a commencé puis s’est développée la culture Kura-Araxe. Les fouilles anciennes sur des établissements et des tombes ou kourganes de cette culture manquent souvent de repères stratigraphiques et de dates précises. Les sites les plus importants sont revus ici sur la base de fouilles récentes faites à Mentesh Tepe : après une longue occupation remontant jusqu’au N…
Questions on the Date of the Hellenistic Pottery from Central Asia (Ai Khanoum, Marakanda and Koktepe)
On the basis of recent research on the pottery and comparisons between three important sites with Hellenistic occupation in Central Asia, new dates are proposed for each of them. The article presents both the former data and hypotheses and the recent discoveries, including coins for Afrasiab/Samarkand, which lead to the new proposals. Changes in pottery style do not follow immediately Alexander’s conquest, and the first real Hellenistic shapes on…
Bati Azerbeycan'da Neoli̇ti̇k Ve Kalkoli̇ti̇k Döneme Ai̇t Yeni̇ Bulgular
The aim of the article is to present what is known of the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods in Western Azerbaijan. The first part gives a short review of the research done during the Soviet period: if the Neolithic period was well represented by the excavations at Shomu-Tepe, there was not much evidence of the Chalcolithic except at a small site considered to be contemporary with Leilatepe further east. The second part presents recent research …

Bustan VI, une nécropole de l'âge du Bronze dans l'ancienne Bactriane (Ouzbékistan méridional)
A cemetary, Bustan VI, situated near the site of Dzharkutan in southern Uzbekistan, dating back to the last phases of the Sapalli Culture (Mollali and Bustan), has been excavated by the author during the last years. Several types of tombs and different rituals, apparently all taking place at the same time, have been noticed in the different areas of the cemetary. Both inhumations (sometimes secondary) and cremations were practised, and the author…

Céramiques de Sarazm (Tadjikistan, URSS)
The excavations on the site of Sarazm establish with certainty for the first time that direct contacts existed between Turkmenia, Baluchistan, North-Eastern Iran and the Aral Sea, between ca. 3500 and 2800 B.C. This study, based upon ceramics collected during the excavations over the past ten years, shows in which proportions and when precisely these contacts took place. Then, it raises the question of the reason why these contacts occurred : sim…

Contributions récentes de la céramologie à l'histoire de l'Afghanistan
Through a systematic study of large collections of poteries found in different parts of Afghanistan, it is now possible to present an overall view of the evolution of ceramics in that country from the Bronze age to the present day. The variation observed from one region or period to another, as well as the analogies and differences established with the pottery found in adjacent areas (Central Asia, India, Iran), provide pricelesss informations on…
L'occupation séleucide en Bactriane et en Syrie du N.E. d'après les données archéologiques
Etablissements chalcolithiques dans le Nord-Est de l'Afghanistan
Une prospection conduite en 1977 dans la plaine de Taluqan (N.E. de l'Afghanistan) a fourni en six points différents une céramique de surface dont les caractéristiques (modelage, pâte, formes) présentent des analogies avec la poterie d'époque chalcolithique (fin IVe début IIIe millénaire) trouvée sur plusieurs sites entre les bassins de l'Hilmend et de l'Indus. Cette occupation ancienne des piémonts du Badakhshan est mise en rapport avec l'exploi…
