Western Asia after Alexander
The Achaemenian monarch Cyrus II, the Great (539–530 bce ), created the first “World Empire”, which at its greatest extent stretched from Egypt to Central Asia and from Thrace to India. It lasted for some two centuries until the last king, Darius III, was defeated by Alexander the Great. Cyrus ushered in a millennium of the ascendancy of the Iranian peoples, for the Achaemenian kings were Persians, from the area near modern Shiraz. Not only were …
Assyrian Nimrud and the Phoenicians
The first ivories at the Assyrian imperial capital of Kalhu/Nimrud in northern Iraq were found by Henry Layard in the mid-19th century. Max Mallowan and David Oates (both professors at the Institute of Archaeology), together with the British School of Archaeology in Iraq, worked there from 1949–1963 and found literally thousands more, both in the palaces of the acropolis and in a large outlying building known as Fort Shalmaneser. During the last …
Pre-Islamic Central Asia
After Alexander: Central Asia before Islam
This is a study of the history, archaeology, and numismatics of Central Asia, an area of great significance for our understanding of the ancient and early medieval world. This vast, land-locked region, with its extreme continental climate, was a centre of civilization with great metropolises. Its cosmopolitan population followed different religions (Zoroastrianism, Christianity, Buddhism), and traded extensively with China, India, the Middle East…

A Central Asian city on the Silk Road: Ancient and medieval Merv
In the 11th century AD, Merv was one of the world's largest and most splendid cities. Today it is a h uge archaeological site, the complexities of which are being unravelled by the International Merv Project (IMP). Here the Director of the IMP charts the succession of cities that have flourished in the Merv oasis and describes the work of the project

A Carved Bone Object from Tell Abu al-Kharaz in Jordan: A Palestinian Workshop for Bone and Ivory?
A carved bone handle (?) was found by the Swedish Jordan Expediton in 1992 at Tell Abu al-Kharaz in a building within the Iron Age I–II citadel. The building was destroyed in afierce conflagration, dated c. 800 B.C., according to analysis of the ceramics. The handle can be compared to a coherent group of bone handles found in the Burnt Palace at Nimrud and to one from Iron Age Hazor, Stratum VI. A group of ivories from Nimrud and Hazor can also b…

Bronze and Iron: Ancient near Eastern Artifacts in the Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Nimrud Ivories, 1: The Flame and Frond School
The volume of ivories found at Nimrud is overwhelming. Nevertheless, this very quantity presents us with unique opportunities to investigate the ivory trade in the early first millennium B.C. It allows us to gather together groups of similar styles and thus, if it can be accepted that a coherent style-group was probably the output of a specific “school” of carving, to define the production of different schools. The principal purpose of this artic…
The Catalogue of Ivories from Hasanlu, Iran
The sculptures of Bahrām II
Many scholars in the last 150 years have applied themselves to problems posed in dating the rock reliefs of the Sasanian kings. Steady progress has been made and we have now reached a stage when most, but not all, sculptures can be assigned, with reasonable certainty, to the various kings. However, the closer dating and the identification of the context of the reliefs are still hotly disputed. This paper, written in honour of Sir Mortimer Wheeler…
The Dārābgird Relief: Ardashīr or Shāhpūr? A Discussion in the Context of Early Sasanian Sculpture
Lapis Lazuli: The Early Phases of Its Trade
The long standing importance of lapis lazuli in Mesopotamia is shown by the early date of its original importation during the Late Ubaid period. This was probably the first moment that man had sufficient wealth and leisure to begin the quest for luxuries. Hitherto his trade had been confined to the import of essential materials, such as flint and obsidian for blades. But during Gawra XIII he initiated a wide-ranging luxury trade, and for the firs…
