A tale of new crops in the arid Arabian Peninsula oasis from antiquity to the early Islamic period
Leveraging the potential of charred archaeological seeds for reconstructing the history of date palm
The analysis of seeds from archaeobotanical assemblages is essential for understanding the history of crop cultivation. However, the majority of these seeds are typically found charred, a condition that not only degrades DNA, which hinders genetic studies, but also distorts their morphological features, which may bias comparisons with uncharred modern samples. While the effects of charring on several other crop seeds or fruits are well-documented…

Preliminary report on the first season of excavations at Tepe Chalow
First season of archaeological excavation at the pre- and proto-historic site of Tepe Chalow in northern Khorasan Province, NE Iran, was carried out by a joint Irano-Italian expedition in autumn of 2011. The joint team opened 9 trenches in the core zone plus 28 small testing pits in the periphery of the site to evaluate accumulation and extension of archaeological layers. Archaeological analysis of the material and data gathered through excavatio…
Plant Supplying Strategies in an Islamic Omani Harbour City
Few archaeobotanical studies have been undertaken on Islamic period sites in eastern Arabia. Excavations conducted by Dr. Axelle Rougeulle (UMR 8167) at Qalhat in the framework of the Qalhat Project, have provided the opportunity to improve our knowledge on plant consumption and supply strategies. Samples from the workshop B39 (14th-16th century AD) excavated in 2014-2015 have provided a substantial amount of seed and fruit remains that are the o…

Bio-archaeological studies at Konar Sandal, Halil Rud basin, southeastern Iran
Recent archaeological discoveries in the Halil Rud valley in the Kerman province of southeastern Iran have shown the existence of an important urban centre during the Early Bronze Age (third millennium BC), with a rich artistic and craft tradition as well as long-distance contacts with both Mesopotamia and the Indus valley. Bioarchaeological studies carried out at Konar Sandal, south of the modern city of Jiroft, allow for the first time a recons…
A bioarchaeological investigation of three late Chalcolithic pits at Ovçular Tepesi (Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan)
Socio-economic organisation, subsistence strategies and environmental exploitation still remain largely open questions for the Late Chalcolithic period (ca. 4500–3500 BC) in southern Caucasus even though they are of prime importance for understanding the development of post-Neolithic societies in these semi-arid and mountainous areas. Interdisciplinary bioarchaeological research can, however, provide valuable new insights into these issues. In th…

The Iranian plateau, with adjacent regions (southern Caucasus and Central Asia, the Indo-Iranian borderlands), forms an important landmass between the Near East and Mesopotamia to the West, the Ind

Les forêts de la mer. Exploitation et évolution des mangroves en Arabie orientale du Néolithique à l'époque islamique
Les analyses anthracologiques de dix sites archéologiques localisés le long des côtes de l'Arabie orientale témoignent d'une exploitation, parfois intense, des mangroves, du Néolithique jusqu 'à l'époque islamique. Deux espèces de palétuviers (Avicennia marina et Rhizophora mucronata) étaient présentes dans ces formations végétales qui sont actuellement monospécifiques. La régression des mangroves, que l'on note dès l'âge du Bronze, semble être d…

Les fouilles de Tell es-Sakan (Gaza)
Tell es-Sakan a connu deux phases d'occupation culturellement distinctes : une phase égyptienne (niveaux 9 à 6) caractérisée par une culture matérielle presque exclusivement égyptienne qui date de l'époque prédynastique récente (Dynastie 0), soit du Bronze ancien IB récent de Palestine ; et une phase cananéenne (niveaux 5 à 1) qui relève de la civilisation cananéenne du Bronze ancien III.

Preliminary report on the archaeobotanical investigations at Tell Abraq with special attention to chaff impressions in mud brick
Examination of impressions from chaff‐tempered mud brick proved rewarding, given the poor preservation of carbonised seed and grain material at Tell Abraq. Individual chaff elements were found to be recognisable from the impressions and it was shown that naked wheat and barley chaff were used as a tempering medium. Charcoal samples indicate that two species of mangrove were present, one of which is no longer found in the area. Tamarisk and Ziziph…

The study of plant remains (charcoal, carbonized seeds and fruits, mudbrick impressions) from Qal'at al-Bahrain (Bahrain archipelago, Arabian/Persian Gulf) has allowed us to reconstruct the ancient vegetation as well as the site 's plant economy, from the end of the 3rd millennium ВС until the Seleucid-Parthian period. Wood was both exploited locally (from mangroves, open woodlands and halophytic communities) and imported from other regions of th…

The golden leaves of Ur
The famous headdress of Pu-abum at Ur is an object of great beauty. But the authors show that the gold leaves of the headdresses and diadems of her court circle can tell an even richer story. Identifying among them the leaves of the sissoo tree, they show that its symbolic usage celebrated a wide range of properties, from medicine to furniture. These were properties appreciated not only in Mesopotamia but in eastern Iran and the Indus Valley, hom…
Two wooden coffins from the Shakhoura Necropolis, Bahrain
This article presents a detailed analysis of two wooden coffins from the 1 st centuries BC/AD on Bahrain. New C14 dates are published of samples taken from the coffins, and their method of manufacture is reconstructed. The unexpected conservation of wood in a humid environment like Bahrain is explained

Faune et flore des niveaux profonds de Shahi-Tump (Balochistan, Pakistan). Premiers résultats
At Shahi-Tump, a site excavated by the French Archaeological Mission to Makran (district of Kech-Makran, Baluchistan, Pakistan), the oldest occupational levels belong to an aceramic neolithic horizon. The first results obtained by the analysis of archaeozoological and archaeobotanical remains suggest nevertheless that we deal here with a phase immediately preceding the introduction of ceramics into this western part of Baluchistan. The exploitati…
Les « arbres à laine »
Les cotonniers, appartenant à plusieurs espèces du genre Gossypium, attire dès le Néolithique l’attention des populations de l’Ancien Monde grâce aux fibres adhérentes à ses graines. Malgré l’importance que ces plantes textiles connaissent actuellement, les origines et l’évolution de leur culture sont longtemps restées mal connues. Grâce aux découvertes récentes de Gossypium sous forme de fibres, textiles et graines sur des sites archéologiques a…
