  • Locating al-Qadisiyyah

    Open AccessWilliam M Deadman, Jaafar Jotheri et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2025Referencias: 4

    The Battle of al-Qadisiyyah (c. AD 637/8) was a crucial victory by the Arab Muslims over the forces of the Sasanian Empire during the early Islamic conquests. Analysis of satellite imagery of south-west Iraq has now revealed the likely location of this important historic battle

  • New evidence for Pleistocene hominin presence in the north-east Arabian Desert, Iraq

    Open AccessElla Egberts, Andreas Nymark et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2025Referencias: 7

    Despite lying at a crossroad of Pleistocene hominin dispersals, little is known about human occupation in Iraq during this period. An archaeological survey in the Western Desert is revealing recurrent hominin activity at Shbicha, highlighting the region's potential in advancing our understanding of hominin behaviour and dispersal across South-west Asia

  • Identifying the preserved network of irrigation canals in the Eridu region, southern Mesopotamia

    Open AccessJaafar Jotheri, Mohammed Rokan et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2025Referencias: 4

    The Eridu region in southern Mesopotamia was occupied from the sixth until the early first millennium BC, and its archaeological landscape remains well preserved. The present study has identified and mapped a vast, intensive, well-developed network of artificial irrigation canals in this region

  • The landscape of the Zanj Rebellion? Dating the remains of a large-scale agricultural system in southern Iraq

    Open AccessP J Brown, Jaafar Jotheri et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2025Referencias: 15

    A system of abandoned ridge/earthwork features covers a large swathe of the Shaṭṭ al-cArab floodplain in southern Iraq, standing as testament to a period of agricultural expansion in the past. Until now, the chronology of these features has been surmised from limited textual evidence that relates their construction to slave labour during the early Islamic period associated with the 'Zanj rebellion'. This article presents the first absolute dates …

  • Dating Ancient Canal Systems Using Radiocarbon Dating and Archaeological Evidence at Tello/Girsu, Southern Mesopotamia, Iraq

    Open AccessElla Egberts, Jaafar Jotheri et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2023Citada por: 2Referencias: 39

    Mesopotamia is often regarded the “cradle of civilization.” The development of water management practices in the region is thought to have played a key role in the emergence of these early civilizations. We present the first direct dating of a palaeo-canal system at the ancient city of Girsu, Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) (occupied between 4800 and 1600 BC). We describe the use of archaeological and radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating techniques to establish …

  • The paleoenvironment and depositional context of the Sumerian site of Abu Tbeirah (Nasiriyah, southern Mesopotamia, Iraq)

    Open AccessLuca Forti, Licia Romano et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2022

    The Sumerian culture flourished within the Tigris and Euphrates rivers floodplains and along their deltaic systems, which ca. 6000 yr were located ~250–260 km inland from the present Persian Gulf. Here, large floodplains and marshes were crossed by an intricate network of channels where several human settlements developed. In this paper, we describe in detail the paleoenvironmental context where the site of Abu Tbeirah (third millennium BC) devel…

  • New Insights on the Role of Environmental Dynamics Shaping Southern Mesopotamia

    Open AccessMark Altaweel, Anke Marsh et al.ARTICLEIraq2019

    Recent fieldwork and archival sedimentary materials from southern Iraq have revealed new insights into the environment that shaped southern Mesopotamia from the pre-Ubaid (early Holocene) until the early Islamic period. These data have been combined with northern Iraqi speleothem, or stalagmite, data that have revealed relevant palaeoclimate information. The new results are investigated in light of textual sources and satellite remote sensing wor…

  • Holocene fluvial and anthropogenic processes in the region of Uruk in southern Mesopotamia

    Open AccessJaafar Jotheri, Mark Altaweel et al.ARTICLEQuaternary International2018

  • Holocene Avulsions of the Euphrates River in the Najaf Area of Western Mesopotamia

    Open AccessJaafar Jotheri, Mark B Allen et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2016Citada por: 12Referencias: 8

    We present a study that reconstructs the ancient courses of the Euphrates in part of the Mesopotamian floodplain west and southwest of the ancient site of Babylon. The focus is on tracing paleochannel courses, determining when these paleochannels were active, and understanding the patterns of avulsion. The research was carried out using a combination of geological, geomorphological, remote sensing, historical, and archaeological approaches. Field…
