At the Dawn of Complexity
This paper presents the preliminary results of the exploration of the Late Chalcolithic (LC) occupation at Gird-I Matrab, a multi-mounded settlement on the Erbil Plain whose long, uninterrupted sequence offers a rare window onto emerging socioeconomic complexity in northern Mesopotamia. Drawing upon recent excavations and careful artifact analysis, this article reconstructs a settlement trajectory spanning the late LC 1–LC 3 periods and evaluates…

Exploring 'Dark Ages'
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 …
The Erbil Plain Archaeological Survey
The Erbil Plain Archaeological Survey (EPAS) investigates settlement and land use from the Neolithic to the present in the Erbil Governorate of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, which includes a large portion of the core of the Assyrian Empire. In seven field seasons, it has documented a broad settlement landscape in a region of great social and political importance, especially in the Bronze and Iron Ages, including 728 archaeological sites. Its fiel…
Multiscale techniques for 3D imaging of magnetic data for archaeo‐geophysical investigations in the Middle East
Recent techniques of three‐dimensional (3D) imaging of potential field anomalies are effective in estimating the source position in the subsurface by exploiting both the differentiation of the field and the stability of the method. Such a processing is fast and especially suitable for detecting isolated and compact sources, as usually are those of archaeological interest. Among these methods we employed techniques that take advantage from innovat…
On the Edge of Empires
On the Edge of Empires explores the mixed culture of North Mesopotamia in the Roman period. This volatile region at the eastern edge of the Roman world became during the imperial period the theater of confrontation for multiple political entities: Rome, Parthia, Sasanian Persia. Roman presence is only recognizable through military installations – forts, barracks, military camps – yet these fascinating lands tell a story of frontier people and sol…
Filling the Gap
The Land of Nineveh Archaeological Project
This article presents a preliminary study of the pottery collected during the 2012 and 2013 campaigns of the Land of Nineveh Archaeological Project in Iraqi Kurdistan. The report examines the morphology, distribution, and relative implications of a wide spectrum of ceramic types, spanning from the Early Pottery Neolithic to the Sasanian period. In particular, it focuses on the local aspects of the material culture, as well as on regional and tran…
