    Ofer Bar‐yosef, Ofer Bar-Yosef et al.BOOKMegadrought and Collapse2017

    We take up the question of “why” cultivation was adopted by the end of the Younger Dryas by reviewing evidence in the Levant, a sub-region of southwestern Asia, from the Late Glacial Maximum through the first millennium of the Holocene. Based on the evidence, we argue that the demographic increase of foraging societies in the Levant at the Terminal Pleistocene formed the backdrop for the collapse of foraging adaptations, compelling several groups…

  • Holocene Climate and Cultural Evolution in Late Prehistoric–Early Historic West Asia

    Open AccessMichael Staubwasser, H Wei et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2006

    The precipitation climatology and the underlying climate mechanisms of the eastern Mediterranean, West Asia, and the Indian subcontinent are reviewed, with emphasis on upper and middle tropospheric flow in the subtropics and its steering of precipitation. Holocene climate change of the region is summarized from proxy records. The Indian monsoon weakened during the Holocene over its northernmost region, the Ganges and Indus catchments and the west…

  • What Drives Societal Collapse?

    Open AccessH Wei, Harvey Weiss et al.ARTICLEScience2001

    The archeological and historical record is replete with evidence for prehistoric, ancient and pre-modern societal collapse. These collapses occurred quite suddenly and frequently involved regional abandonment, replacement of one subsistence base by another (such as agriculture by pastoralism) or conversion to a lower energy socio-political organization (such as local state from interregional empire). Each of these collapse episodes has been discu…

    H Wei, Harvey Weiss et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Archaeology1990Cited by: 1

    The 1985 season of excavations at Tell Leilan, north-eastern Syria, revised our knowledge of the city's role in Mesopotamian cultural, political, and developmental history of the mid-third and early second millennium B. C. The Acropolis Period I Building Level 2 (19th century) temple plan was completed and established as the earliest historic period example of the Assyrian "long-room" temple. Portions of another major building on the Acropolis, p…

  • Excavations at Tell Leilan and the Origins of North Mesopotamian cities in the Third Millennium B.C

    H Wei, Harvey WeissARTICLEPaléorient1983Cited by: 10

    The aggregate productivity of high-yield dry farming in northern Mesopotamia was apparently centralized ca. 2500-2400 B.C. within 90-100 hectare urban centers like Tell Leilan. This was perhaps an endogenous process which resulted in the formation of Hurrian dynasties

    Un nouveau sondage stratigraphique à la "Ville Royale" de Suse établit une séquence des assemblages céramiques qui permet une meilleure définition des relations interculturelles sur le Plateau iranien au cours du 3e millénaire.
