The Pre-Aksumite Period
The Pre-Aksumite Period (mid-second to late first millennia BC) witnessed the rise of complex societies in the Horn of Africa. Archaeological survey and excavations in the Gulo Makeda region of Eastern Tigrai by the Eastern Tigrai Archaeological Project (ETAP) have produced new data and insights into this critical juncture in the cultural history of the region. Based on data from Mezber and other archaeological sites, we present a new Pre-Aksumit…
Ebiv ceramic production in the Orontes watershed
The second half of the 3rd millennium BC represents the height of the urbanization process observed during the Early Bronze Age of northern Syria. In a geo-political sense, the Amuq Plain, located in southern Turkey, is situated in a strategic location and as such has long been described as a crossroads of Near Eastern cultures. Tell Tayinat has been identified as the largest settlement in the plain beginning in the early 3rd millennium BC; excav…
Shifting Networks and Community Identity at Tell Tayinat in the Iron I (ca. 12th to Mid 10th Century B.C.E.)
The end of the 13th and beginning of the 12th centuries B.C.E. witnessed the demise of the great territorial states of the Bronze Age and, with them, the collapse of the extensive interregional trade networks that fueled their wealth and power. The period that follows has historically been characterized as an era of cultural devolution marked by profound social and political disruption. This report presents the preliminary results of the Tayinat …
Urban Built Environments in Early 1st Millennium b.c.e. Syro-Anatolia
The archaeological site of Tell Tayinat in the province of Hatay in southern Turkey was the principal regional center in the Amuq Plain and North Orontes Valley during the Early Bronze and Iron Ages. This paper focuses on the latest known period of occupation at Tayinat, which during the Iron Age was the Syro-Anatolian city of Kunulua. In 2004, following a 67-year hiatus, the University of Toronto’s Tayinat Archaeological Project (TAP) resumed ex…
Gap or Transition? Characterizing the Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze I in the Amuq Plain
The ceramic assemblages of Amuq F–G are often cited as type-assemblages for the Late Chalcolithic-Early Bronze I period. However, Amuq Phase F has long been recognized as chronologically problematic due to its lack of a direct stratigraphic relationship with the preceding phase (Amuq Phase E). This article assesses the evidence for a chronological gap between Phases E and F of the Amuq sequence, and presents preliminary results of a re-analysis o…
Revisiting the Amuq sequence
The chronology of the Early Bronze Age in the Northern Levant has been constructed around a small group of key sequences and excavations, including the Amuq Sequence. Information about this sequence has predominantly been taken from excavations conducted in the 1930s. The final Early Bronze Age phase in the Amuq (Phase J, EBIVB) was, however, based on a comparatively small sample of ceramics originating only from the site of Tell Tayinat. Excavat…
