Low-cost seismic geophysical methods for the detection of karez
Underground gravity-flow channels ( karez ; also qanat ) have been an important technology for accessing subterranean water resources and supplying the water needs of (esp. agricultural) communities throughout the Middle East and North Africa and elsewhere for many centuries, but in the past several decades have suffered the effects of groundwater mining and mechanized agriculture. Study and conservation of these hydraulic systems typically depen…
Hellenistic Landscapes and Seleucid Control in Mesopotamia
In this article we discuss the archaeological landscapes of the Erbil plain during the Hellenistic period (late fourth century BCE-mid second century BCE) based on the data collected during the Erbil Plain Archaeological Survey (EPAS) between 2012 and 2019. We use a landscape archaeology approach to trace patterns of habitation, migration, land exploitation, and water management from the Iron Age to the early first millennium CE. Over the course …
Mapping patterns of long-term settlement in Northern Mesopotamia at a large scale
The landscapes of the Near East show both the first settlements and the longest trajectories of settlement systems. Mounding is a characteristic property of these settlement sites, resulting from millennia of continuing settlement activity at distinguished places. So far, however, this defining feature of ancient settlements has not received much attention, or even been the subject of systematic evaluation. We propose a remote sensing approach fo…
The Architecture and Pottery of a Late Third-Millennium Residential Quarter at Tell Hamoukar, North-Eastern Syria
The 2001 excavations in Area H on Hamoukar's lower town produced a wealth of information on a residential neighbourhood of a late third-millennium BC city. The excavations were intended to address several issues, including chronology, urban form and the final abandonment of the site. Toward these ends, a broad exposure of over 400 m 2 was opened, revealing a prosperous neighbourhood that had been sacked and abruptly abandoned. This report address…

The geoarchaeology of route systems in northern Syria
Linear valleys, termed hollow ways, form a distinctive feature of the North Syrian Bronze Age landscape, but few have been described in detail or excavated. This paper examines the geoarchaeology of hollow way route systems in northern Syria at three scales of analysis: (1) from satellite imagery, at which scale it is possible to examine patterns of hollow ways over very large areas; (2) in the field, where cleaned sections supply ground control …
Formation and destruction of pastoral and irrigation landscapes on the Mughan Steppe, north-western Iran
CORONA satellite photography taken in the 1960s continues to reveal buried ancient landscapes and sequences of landscapes - some of them no longer visible. In this new survey of the Mughan Steppe in north-western Iran, the authors map a 'signature landscape' belonging to Sasanian irrigators, and discover that the traces of the nomadic peoples that succeeded them also show up on CORONA - in the form of scoops for animal shelters. The remains of th…
Surface Collection and Offsite Studies at Tell Hamoukar, 1999
The new program of excavations of the Syrian-American Expedition to Tell Hamoukar, Hassake province, northeastern Syria, began with an initial season in Fall 1999. The project includes among its goals the study of the expansion and contraction of settlement on the site, as well as the relationship of the urbanization process on Hamoukar to regional settlement trends. Our initial step was to document the chronology and scale of this process throug…
