“Cropping the Margins”
The excavation of a large administrative building at the city of Tell Brak in northern Syria saw the recovery of a considerable quantity of charred cereals dated to the mid-third millennium B.C.E. This remarkable discovery provides a rare snapshot into the nature of agriculture in Upper Mesopotamia during the Early Bronze Age. The material has been studied using a combination of primary archaeobotanical analysis, crop stable isotope determination…
Telling a Story of Two Lands
An ambitious exhibition at the Musée du Louvre, Pharaon des Deux Terres: L’épopée africaine des rois de Napata, presented a history of the kings of Napata who conquered Egypt and ruled there as its 25th Dynasty (ca. 720-664 BCE). This dynasty ruled over an empire properly known as Kush, centered in northern Sudan. While acknowledging the challenging circumstances through which the exhibit was developed, this review questions the vestiges of colon…
Heritage, Archaeology, and Local Communities in Sudan
As a discipline with colonial origins, archaeology is increasingly addressing ways in which it has supported historical and current inequalities. One essential aspect of this work is engaging in conversations and collaborations with local communities, particularly to understand varying conceptions of heritage. Another is through attention to the benefits that derive from archaeological research—does fieldwork primarily support (foreign) archaeolo…
Trade in Ancient Nubia
While traded goods are routinely identified in Nubian archaeology, there have been no comprehensive discussions of economic exchange (“trade”) in ancient and medieval Nubian societies. This chapter introduces some broader perspectives on ancient economies, including Polanyi’s modes of distribution (reciprocity, redistribution, and market exchange), to highlight research questions that Nubian archaeology might begin to ask. The chapter summarizes …
Nubia, a Brief Introduction
Nubia has emerged as an independent field of study partly because of dam projects that flooded long reaches of the Nile valley and adjacent deserts. The region itself includes the Nile Valley in Egypt and Sudan, from the First Cataract at Aswan to the confluence of the Blue and White Niles at Khartoum, as well as adjacent deserts. This vast area incorporates many regions, peoples, and languages, notably Nubian and Eastern Desert Bedja. Historical…
Archaeological Practice in the 21st Century
Archaeological research on the African continent developed hand in hand with European colonization. Although many countries became independent over sixty years ago, archaeological practice today can bear negative traces of colonial legacies. Often these legacies can be identified in the ways in which archaeologists have tended to interact—or indeed not interact—with local communities. A number of archaeological teams have therefore been developin…
The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia
The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia presents fifty-five studies by specialists in the archaeology and history of a large region in Africa, centered on the Middle Nile from Aswan to the confluence of the two Niles, extending from the Red Sea to the modern western borders of Sudan and Egypt. The volume is divided into three parts, the first dealing with the historiographical background and environment, the second, largest part tracing the careers …

The Sudan National Museum and national heritage in Sudan1
The Sudan National Museum, built in 1971, displays ancient and medieval art and archaeological artifacts from the Nile Valley in the northern part of the country, a region known in antiquity as Kush and in medieval times Nubia. Ethnographic artifacts, which form the basis of national museum collections in some other African countries, are displayed separately in a much smaller museum and do not figure prominently in national heritage discourse. T…

Framing Archaeology in the Near East
Trade and interaction during the era of the Uruk expansion
Ceramics and long-distance trade in early Mesopotamian states
The Cambridge World History
From the fourth millennium BCE to the early second millennium CE the world became a world of cities. This volume explores this critical transformation, from the appearance of the earliest cities in Mesopotamia and Egypt to the rise of cities in Asia and the Mediterranean world, Africa, and the Americas. Through case studies and comparative accounts of key cities across the world, leading scholars chart the ways in which these cities grew as nodal…
Ethnicity in Empire
Empires have to develop strategies to manage ethnic diversity. Some ancient empires promoted assimilation, and others developed a multicultural ideology. Assyria was unusual for paying relatively little attention to cultural identity, whether Assyrian or other. At its height (ca. 650 bc), the Assyrian empire was the largest empire the world had seen, having defeated Kassites and Babylonians to the south; Elamites to the southeast; a range of trib…
Fertile Crescent
A term for the rich agricultural land of the Tigris‐Euphrates floodplain, bounded by the curve of the Zagros and Taurus Mountains, that supported the civilizations of Assyria and Babylonia.
Diyala
The Diyala River, called Durul in cuneiform texts of the third millennium BCE and Turna(t) in later texts, runs from sources in the central Zagros Mountains through the small Hamrin Basin, onto the Mesopotamian plain, where it formed a focus of ancient settlement, and joins the Tigris River just south of Baghdad. It was the basis of an important route connecting the Tigris River and the Iranian plateau.
Habur
The Habur River is one of the two main tributaries of the Euphrates River. Arising in springs near Ras al‐Ain and supplemented by wadis flowing from the east, the upper Habur runs through an area that receives enough rainfall for dry farming. The lower Habur flows through dry areas in which settlement was largely dependent on the river itself, with nomadic groups living on either side of the river. Major canal construction along the lower Habur i…
Anshan
Anshan (modern Tal‐i Malyan) is the highland capital of ancient Elam. The site is located in the Kur River Basin of Fars Province, Iran, about 40 km from Persepolis. Anshan is linked to Elam's lowland capital of Susa in historical sources, material culture, and by the migration routes of nomads who spent summers in the highlands and winters at lower elevations.
Ziqqurrat
Ziqqurrats were Mesopotamian stepped temple towers. Called U N I R in Sumerian and ziqqurratu(m) in Akkadian, they repre sented mountains as well as an aspiration to reach the heavens.
Balih
The Balih River, called Balihu in Cuneiform texts of the second and first millennia BCE , rises in the plain of Harran, is fed by several springs along its course, and runs south to join the Euphrates River at a confluence that has been the location of important settlements throughout history: Tell Zeidan in prehistoric times, later the town of Tuttul (Tell Bi'a), and the early Islamic and modern city of Raqqa.
Zagros mountains
The Zagros mountains are a geologically young and active range in western Iran, formed by the collision of the Arabian and Eurasian tectonic plates.

Excavations at Tell Brak 1998
The 22nd season of excavations at Tell Brak took place in April and May of 1998, with David Oates as Project Director and Geoff Emberling as Field Director. It is our pleasure to mention institutions and people who made the project such a success. This season was primarily funded by the Adelaide Milton de Groot Fund (in memory of the de Groot and Hawley families) of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Carsten Niebuhr Institute of the University o…

Excavations at Tell Brak 2001-2002
Excavation at Tell Brak during 2001 and 2002, the twenty-first and twenty-second seasons of work at the site, continued research on occupation of the fourth and third millennia BC, periods in which Brak is known to have been particularly important in regional and interregional political and economic interactions. Work on the fourth millennium BC focused on two interrelated questions: the size and complexity of the local Late Chalcolithic (Norther…
