Tell Arqa-I
Archaeology in the Land of Carchemish
The first season of survey around the site of Tell Jerablus Tahtani, conducted in March and April 2006, demonstrated the existence of occupations from the Neolithic to the Early Islamic period. Tell Jerablus Tahtani was fringed to the west by a lower settlement of Late Uruk and early third millennium BC date, at which time settlement was also evident at Tell Sha'ir to the west and at Duluk near the junction with the Sajour. Tells formed the main …
Hathor, faience and copper on Late Bronze Age Cyprus
A côté des des produits de luxe fabriqués au Levant dans un style international transrégional, il existait au Bronze Récent un goût très marqué pour des objets de type explicitement égyptien. Un groupe de bols en faïence met bien ce caractère en évidence. On s'attachera ici à leur remarquable concentration à Chypre, au symbolisme hathorique et à son rapport au commerce du cuivre
Urbanism on the margins
The Fertile Crescent of the Ancient Near East is well known for its early cities in irrigated farming regions. Here the authors describe the recent discovery and investigation of a planned, circular, mid/late-third millennium BC city beyond the limit of rain-fed cultivation in the arid zone of inner Syria. Founded on the initiative of an unknown power and served by pastoralists and cultivators, the research at Al-Rawda demonstrates how environmen…

Neolithic Dispersals from the Levantine Corridor
The earliest agro-pastoralists of the Near East are generally held to have emerged in a narrow Levantine Corridor. Agricultural life initially spread from this discrete core zone in the Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic B to adjacent inland regions, only reaching the Mediterranean coast of Syria by the Late Pre-Pottery Neolithic B. Recent discoveries on Cyprus, far to the west of the core zone, prompt re-configuration of several elements of this model.…
Jerablus Tahtani, Syria, 1998–9
Two more fieldwork seasons of University of Edinburgh excavations at Jerablus Tahtani, near Carchemish, were undertaken since the last preliminary report of results in Levant 29, 1997, 1–18. The focus of investigations was on Periods 1 and 2B, belonging to the fourth and later third millennia BC. Period 1 deposits have unexpectedly yielded evidence for a local Late Chalcolithic foundation for the site. This seems to have been succeeded by a more …
Agro-pastoralist colonization of Cyprus in the 10th millennium BP
Unexpectedly early evidence for the precocious spread of farming has recently emerged in Cyprus. It is argued that the transmission occurred as a result of migration related to ecosystem stress in the Levant. So strong are the connections of the colonists with the mainland that we suggest the term Cypro-Pre-Pottery Neolithic B to describe what has hitherto been a major lacuna in Cypriot prehistory. Consistent dates from key sites and the evolutio…
Jerablus-Tahtani, Syria, 1996
The fifth season of University of Edinburgh/British Institute at Amman for Archaeology and History-sponsored excavations at Jerablus–Tahtani in the neighbourhood of Carchemish, north Syria, was devoted to investigations of its Early Bronze Age occupation, Period 2 of the site's history. In order to evaluate occupation between the Uruk retraction and the construction of the fort initially reported in Levant 28, 1996, 7–9, in situ pre-fort deposits…
Jerablus-Tahtani, Syria, 1995
A fourth season of fieldwork was mainly concerned with Early Bronze Age occupations belonging to Period 2. Major discoveries include a second chamber of the monumental tomb, Tomb 302, reported in the last issue of LEVANT, a paved and stepped passage along its precinct wall leading from the tomb entrance towards the upper tell, a fort with white plastered glacis outworks, intrasettlement burials of different types, stratigraphically intercalated w…
Jerablus-Tahtani, Syria, 1992–4
Results of rescue excavations carried out for a total of 18 weeks at Jerablus-Tahtani, by Carchemish, are reported here. The principal research aims of the project are to determine the role of small Uruk-related sites in the Syrian Upper Euphrates River valley, to investigate the causes of the appearance of hierarchical settlement patterns and their recession in the 3rd / 2nd millennia B. C. and to assess the impact on nearby settlements of the g…
Settlement Discontinuity and Resistance to Complexity in Cyprus, ca. 4500-2500 B. C. E
This article presumes that small prestate societies possessed fluctuating asymmetrical political relationships and that those relationships may have left material correlates in the archaeological record. Settlement discontinuity in the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods of Cyprus may be due in part to recurrent community fissioning caused by resistance to attempts by subgroups to extend power. Following Trigger (1990: 145), a brief attempt is mad…

Kissonerga-Mosphilia 1990
Local Exchange in Prehistoric Cyprus
Evidence for pre-Bronze Age Cypriot contacts is exceedingly rare. Picrolite, a soft, attractive rock, was used throughout the period, and preliminary analysis (Xenophontos 1991: 127-38) suggests that it was derived as water-worn pebbles from the Karyotis and Kouris rivers. Examination of its use in the Chalcolithic period reveals marked inter- and intrasite inequalities. A reciprocal exchange network, associated with social divisions and perhaps …
Kissonerga-Mosphilia
Calibrated radiometric dates have shown that the Chalcolithic period in Cyprus lasted from about 3800 to 2300 B. C., much longer than Dikaios (1962) and others thought was the case. Although copper was first exploited then, a dynamic new art style was created, and transmaritime exchanges were initiated, no work has been carried out on a major site of the period since Dikaios' 1933-1935 sounding at Erimi. To remedy this obvious shortfall, the Lemb…

Some early developments of vitreous materials
A great many varieties of vitreous materials were discovered in the Ancient Near East even before the first millennium B.c. Although most of these vitreous objects are in a bad state of preservation, several types can be discerned without recourse to spectographic and other analyses which will eventually refine our understanding of these materials. Here, some of the more important stages of these developments ‐ the inventions of glaze, glazed pot…

Conflict and Exclusivity in Early Bronze Age Societies of the Middle Euphrates Valley
Ayios Epiktitos Vrysi, Cyprus
Excavation of a headland on the north coast of Cyprus has revealed a neolithic settlement with well-preserved stone buildings which belong to one stage of a multiphase site. Evidence was obtained for changes in architecture, definable growth patterns and, in Cypriot terms, deeply stratified deposits with painted pottery that clearly links the early Troulli and the Sotira styles. Eighteen structures, many re-built two or three times, two winding p…

The Sotira Culture
Comparaison de deux sites neolithiques de Chypre: Sotira, sur une colline du sud de l'ile, Ayios Epiktitos Vrysi, sur un promontoire cotier du nord. Malgre la repartition differente des maisons, due a la difference de situation geographique, les deux sites ont le meme type de maison (alveoles plus ou moins arrondies) et livrent les memes objets fabriques. D'autres sites presentant les memes caracteristiques ont ete partiellement explores. On peut…
The Sotira Culture
Lemba Archaeological Project, Cyprus, 1976–77
A sixth season of excavations and survey in the west of Cyprus lasted for nine weeks and was undertaken with a team that averaged 20 personnel. As in previous seasons our major effort was at Lemba itself and since the general character of the site is known from extant preliminary reports, only major new features will be mentioned here. Excavations have reached the stage whereby several of our aims have been realized and hence only one further sea…
Two Cist Burials at Kintyre Nurseries, Campbeltown, Argyll
Part of the plan and contents of a large cist burial and the presence of a smaller one were noted during building operations at this site. Rescue excavation in the former produced traces of an inhumation burial, a flint blade knife, a crescentic jet necklace and perhaps a bracelet; labourers salvaged a Food Vessel from the latter. These finds emphasize the W and coastal distribution of such necklaces in SW Scotland during the mid-2nd millennium B…

A Cypriot model for prehistoric ritual
Prehistoric figurines and building models are rarely discovered in clearly defined, non-funerary contexts in the Near East and eastern Mediterranean regions. When they are found in association in a cache of over 50 objects it is a notable archaeological event. Here Dr Edgar Peltenburg, Director of the Lemba Archaeological Project, Cyprus, argues that the cache provides important new light on the evolution of cult places in the eastern Mediterrane…
