Metal Quivers from Hasanlu
During the remarkable excavations at Hasanlu, in northwestern Iran, thousands of metal objects were discovered, but few have been systematically studied. The goal of this study is to present a catalogue of the metal quivers found by the Joint Expedition to Hasanlu (1956–1977), led by Robert H. Dyson of the University of Pennsylvania Museum. After a brief introduction concerning the site and the evidence for metal quivers in the Ancient Near East …
A Decorated Bronze Belt from Gargul, Iran
During the early first millennium BC, the southern Lake Urmia basin in northwestern Iran was in the throes of political, military and cultural upheaval. Its material culture, as exemplified by the finds at Hasanlu, Marlik and in Luristan, suggests the elite in the area were consumers of fine, locally produced metalwork. This paper discusses the discovery of an artifact that expands our understanding of the material culture of northwestern Iran du…
Copper-alloy Belts at Hasanlu, Iran
The pitfalls of studying material outcomes of cultural contact as ‘hybrids’ have been well mapped, from essentialism to the echoes of eugenics. In archaeological research, attention to ‘hybrid’ products of cultural contact through assiduous tracing of ‘foreign’ elements to their points of origin has often yielded dubious claims regarding the nature of the interaction. For objects excavated in the Period IVb (1050–800bc) level at Hasanlu, this app…
Masculinities and Militarization at Hasanlu, Iran
The site of Hasanlu, Iran, is best known for its destruction around 800 B.C.E., likely at the hands of the Urartian army. The period preceding the destruction, Hasanlu IVb, was one of rapid change at the site, which was located at a point of conflict between the burgeoning of the Urartian state to the north and the expansion of the Assyrian Empire from the west. Changes—which have been loosely attributed to “militarization”—are evident throughout…

many helpful comments and suggestions. 1Rudolph (1996) identifies three types of contexts for ancient jewelry: its present situation; the physical setting in which it was recovered; and most important, the world of the maker and intended wearer, which he refers to as "original intent
