  • Umm Dabaghiyah 1974

    Diana KirkbrideARTICLEIraq1975

    The start of the fourth and final season at Umm Dabaghiyah was seriously delayed by yet another variation in the Iraq weather pattern. In this case torrential and long-lasting late spring rains not only caused wide-spread flooding throughout the country, but also brought down the bridges across Wadi Tharthar, a phenomenon that meant we could not reach the site, or even Hatra, until both rains and floods subsided and a temporary sandbag bridge had…

  • Umm Dabaghiyah

    Diana KirkbrideARTICLEIraq1974

    Prehistoric archaeology, perhaps even more than historic archaeology, constantly poses more problems than it solves, and so gives rise to interpretations that may not be possible to uphold. Such a state of affairs now exists at the late Neolithic site, Umm Dabaghiyah. This is a small site containing four main levels of a single culture and, for this reason, seemed an ideal candidate for total excavation. It is high time we knew the component part…

  • Umm Dabaghiyah 1972

    Diana KirkbrideARTICLEIraq1973

    The 1972 season at Umm Dabaghiyah took place under vastly different conditions from the first year. An exceptionally good Spring turned the countryside into a comparatively green and flowery land. Without a single dust storm and with thunder and rain only during the evenings and nights, we were able to work without interruption. These climatic changes are important to record, as within two consecutive years we have experienced two extremes which …

  • Umm Dabaghiyah 1973

    Diana KirkbrideARTICLEIraq1973

    The 1973 season at Umm Dabaghiyah took place under weather conditions different from those of the two preceding ones. The exceptionally good Spring of 1972, and subsequent heavy dew, enabled the scrub vegetation to come up and thus to hold the surface soil in place despite high winds and a practically total drought. In 1973, we had neither rain, apart from a few sparse drops, nor a single thunderstorm, while the real dust-storms started only late…

  • Umm Dabaghiyah 1971

    Diana KirkbrideARTICLEIraq1972

    A study of Iraq with a view to carrying out prehistoric investigations into the earliest settlements of the northern plain, suggested that one large area offered good possibilities. Not only does it stand away from those regions where, for various reasons, it is impracticable to carry out field work, but it is unknown territory as far as archaeology is concerned. That part of the Hatr a which surrounds Hatra, particularly the region to the west, …

  • A Commentary on the Pottery Neolithic of Palestine

    Open AccessDiana KirkbrideARTICLEHarvard Theological Review1971

    Influences, interrelationships, call them what one may, have long provided a topic for stimulating discussion, – an exercise in which Paul Lapp excelled. With this in mind I offer this brief essay involving discernible influences that reached Palestine during the Pottery Neolithic. It is an outline, in date limited to between 6000 and 4000 B.C., and in space bounded by Mersin, Hassuna, and southwards to Palestine, including the East Bank of Jorda…
