Islamic Settlement and Chronology in Fars
Cet article est l'occasion d'une discussion supplementaire sur la morphologie des sites islamiques du bassin de la riviere Kur (Kur River Basin - KRB), dans la province iranienne du Fars, sur l'etude chronologique de la poterie faite par Andrew Williamson, et sur la premiere publication de la ceramique de Madabad, ceramique peinte non lustree decouverte sur quelques 58 sites de la region
The Archaeology of Western Iran
Population and Settlement Area
It can be argued that observed variation in the relationship between settlement area and population, along with uncertainties introduced by the assumption that archeological site area is equal to settlement area, makes efforts to estimate population from site area an impossible task. Such an argument leads to the conclusion that only a relative measure is justified, using site area as a proxy for population, rather than an estimator. However, the…
Prelude to Proto-Elamite Anshan
Les centres de production de ceramique indigene du Fars resistent a l'influence d'Uruk : c'est le cas dans le bassin de la riviere Kur de la ceramique de la phase Lapui, vases rouges sans decor, qui a precede l'apparition de la civilisation Proto-Elamite (phase Banesh). L'A. presente une analyse chronologique de la production de cette ceramique en liaison avec l'habitat du grand village de Lapui (la population sedentaire a decline de -4000 a -350…
Achaemenid Settlement in the Persepolis Plain
The purpose of this paper is to interpret settlement geography in the Persepolis region using archaeological and historical sources. Ceramic and other dating criteria are discussed and it is argued that the settlement system existed from a date soon after the end of Cyrus' reign until Alexander's conquest. Archaeological sites described include 39 habitation sites, irrigation works, and a paved road. The settlement system is reconstructed by esti…
