Conserving the Memory of Hammurabi
An archaeological project requires a complex heritage management approach that includes excavation, scientific research, conservation of unearthed objects, protection of the site’s architecture, and, finally, public engagement. Based on these premises, the Baghdad Urban Archaeological Project aims to create a model for Ancient Heritage Management that includes the research, conservation, and public outreach at the Old Babylonian site of Tell Muha…
Dating burial histories
Burial mounds, or kurgans , are a widespread archaeological feature in ancient Eurasia. In the South Caucasus, the Kura-Araxes (KA) culture adopted these funerary structures to express horizontal social ideology through collective inhumations. KA communities also constantly re-engaged with the dead through the regular reopening of burials, contributing to a rich organic archive that relates to episodes of funerary manipulation. This article repor…
Étude de cas d’un coup porté à l’aide d’une arme tranchante sur le crâne d’un individu provenant d’une chambre funéraire de la période hellénistique à Chypre (323-31 av. J.-C)
The Baghdad Urban Archaeological Project
Conceiving Elements of Divinity
Research on how forms of religiosity are produced through the interaction of local, exogenous, and hybrid elements is fundamental for the improvement of religious studies. This becomes particularly noteworthy in the context of the Levant during the Second Millennium BCE when cultural hybridization phenomena played a pivotal role in shaping novel religious beliefs. Such an exploration, in fact, opens up avenues in the process that ultimately led t…

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Material Religion in the Ancient Near East and Egypt
With contributions spanning from the Neolithic Age to the Iron Age, this book offers important insights into the religions and ritual practices in ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern communities through the lenses of their material remains. The book begins with a theoretical introduction to the concept of material religion and features editor introductions to each of its six parts, which tackle the following themes: the human body; religious archit…
Das Totenmahl in Syrien im 2. Jahrtausend v. Chr
Containers for the dead
Clay, fire, and water are not only the three basic elements required for pottery-making, but also key symbolic components in shaping the mythological dimensions of many societies across the world, both ancient and modern. In his book La potière jalouse (1985), Claude Lévi-Strauss insightfully recognized this aspect in the formation of mythological narratives among Native American communities, emphasizing the significant role of potters and potter…
Preliminary X-ray Fluorescence Analysis of Metallic Samples from the Chovdar Necropolis in Azerbaijan
Several samples coming from the recently discovered (February 2019) Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age Chovdar necropolis in Azerbaijan were analysed using the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technique. The analysis allowed a preliminary classification of the samples in eight groups based on their composition, obtained from the XRF spectra using the fundamental parameter method. A more detailed classification was then obtained using the graph clustering met…

Funerary Customs and Religious Practices in the Ancient Near East
Religion, History, and Place in the Origin of Settled Life
During the 25-year-long excavation project at the Neolithic central Anatolian site of Çatalhöyük, Ian Hodder has been able to confront archaeological data with extraordinary innovation, giving life to data through a detailed reconstruction based on complex theoretical approaches. In particular, the relationship between material culture and religion in the process of reconstructing ancient spiritualities has been a pivotal subject tackled by Hodde…
Defining the Sacred
Ritual and Identity in Rural Mesopotamia
International audience
Connecting Fragments
The materialization of religious beliefs is a complex process involving an active dialectic between ideas and practices that are physically engraved in the artefactual remains of ritual activities. However, this process is relevant only if it is based on a contextual association of elements (e.g. the performance of ceremonial activities, the creation of symbolic objects, the construction of ceremonial spaces) that validates the meaning of each co…
Hirbemerdon Tepe during the Iron Age Period
A Family Affair
Among ancient and modern societies, the transformation in funerary customs can represent a clear indicator of changes in the social fabric of a given society. It is within this perspective that archaeologists should thus correlate the information available from the “world of the living” with those recognizable in funerary contexts. For the purpose of reaching this target, the focus of this paper is on the residential graves found in Mesopotamian …

Hirbemerdon Tepe
The increased number of archaeological activities, underway as a result of the projected construction of the Ilısu dam to be built along the Tigris river in southeastern Anatolia, have brought to light numerous structures associated with the material culture of the late third millennium to mid second millennium BC. The assemblages are characterised by a local variety of pottery, the so-called ‘Red Brown Wash Ware’, usually found in contexts assoc…

A Preliminary Report of the Archaeological Excavations at Hirbemerdon Tepe, Southeastern Turkey
Hirbemerdon Tepe is located along the west bank of the upper Tigris river valley in southeastern Anatolia (Turkey), about 40 km east of Bismil in the Diyarbakır province. The third season of archaeological work was conducted between july the 10th and August 15th 2005, as part of a broader rescue project related to the construction of the Ilısu dam along the Tigris river in Turkey
Crossing boundaries
Archaeology is not just about writing reports and interpreting ancient societies and their social structures, but it is also a process which should aim at the creation of a clear communicative message to the general public. Thus, archaeologists should be aware of every possible medium of communication - verbal, written, visual, sound - to express re-constructions of ancient pasts. In this essay I express some ideas about how archaeologists could …
