From Workers to Companions
In the practice of archaeological research in Peru, a set of economic, political, and ethical contradictions can be recognized in the relationships between archaeologists, excavation technicians, and other groups. It has been observed that our social relationships in fieldwork and other archaeological practice spaces reproduce the principles of the free market, individual competition, and labor exploitation. However, a medium-term archaeological …
Quelles pratiques funéraires pour quelles inférences sociales parmi les sociétés protohistoriques de l'Asie centrale ? Le cas de la civilisation de l'Oxus
En Asie centrale méridionale, l’apparition de la Civilisation de l’Oxus à l’âge du Bronze Moyen (2350-1750 av. n. è.), marque l’émergence d’une société proto-urbaine composée d’agriculteurs et d’éleveurs sédentaires. Le développement concomitant des grands centres et des établissements ruraux au sein d’un large territoire scindé en trois régions – Kopet Dagh, Margiane, Bactriane – atteste d’une unité technologique, culturelle et religieuse, liée …
Mobility and land use in the Greater Khorasan Civilization
Recent discoveries on the Hellenistic and Parthian Occupation of Ulug-depe
This paper seeks to shed new light on the latest discovered Hellenistic and Parthian occupation period at Ulug-depe (South Turkmenistan). After its abandonment at the end of the Middle Iron Age period, the site was reoccupied during the late 1st millennium BC. Extended research led by the joint French-Turkmen Archaeological Expedition (MAFTur) has succeeded in unearthing this occupation in many places of the site and has studied a varied pottery …
Transitions socioculturelles lors de la fin de la civilisation de l’Oxus
Les questions de chronologie et d’évolution culturelle se trouvent au cœur des principales thématiques d’étude de l’Asie centrale méridionale protohistorique, notamment pour la période de transition entre les âges du Bronze et du Fer, que l’on peut situer dans son acception la plus large entre 1800 et 1300 avant notre ère. Il s’agit d’un laps de temps clé dans l’évolution des sociétés de cette partie du monde, témoin du déclin et de la disparitio…
The formation of human populations in South and Central Asia
Ancient human movements through Asia Ancient DNA has allowed us to begin tracing the history of human movements across the globe. Narasimhan et al. identify a complex pattern of human migrations and admixture events in South and Central Asia by performing genetic analysis of more than 500 people who lived over the past 8000 years (see the Perspective by Schaefer and Shapiro). They establish key phases in the population prehistory of Eurasia, incl…
The Complex of Gawhar Shad in Herat
The architectural complex commissioned by Gawhar Shad in Herat (820–841/1417–1438) constitutes one of the major foundations of the Timurid capital city. The site has sustained substantial damage over the centuries and very little is currently known about its architecture and decoration. Since the 1980s, access to it has been strictly limited due to the presence of landmines. This article aims to present the last archaeological surveys carried out…
Central Asia and the Interaction between the Iranian Plateau and the Steppes in Late First Millennium BC
Research led by the joint French-Turkmen Archaeological Expedition (MAFTur) at Ulug-depe have brought to light the longest continuous stratigraphic sequence of southern Central Asia, starting from the Late Neolithic up to the Middle Iron Age. During the last fieldwork seasons, a later, still poorly-known occupation has been identified: after its abandonment at the end of the Middle Iron Age period, Ulug-depe was briefly reoccupied during the late…
Différer la décomposition
Artificielle ou naturelle, la momification a souvent pour objet d’empêcher la transformation du cadavre en squelette et de déposer dans la sépulture un corps aussi peu altéré que possible. C’est une étape particulière de certaines chaînes opératoires mortuaires, qui fonctionne comme une sorte de pause ou de suspension du temps funéraire, au même titre que les pratiques de sépulture provisoire. Cependant, la putréfaction reprend le plus souvent qu…
Post-mortem mutilations of human bodies in Early Iron Age Kazakhstan and their possible meaning for rites of burial
The authors find numerous cut-marks on human bones from an Early Iron Age cemetery in Kazakhstan and review a wide range of possible explanations. They discount cannibalism and find that the cuts and fractures fit best with a range of ritual mutilations known to ethno-archaeologists of the Altai region
Les structures funéraires à crémation de l'Âge du Bronze au Semirech'e, Kazakhstan (nécropoles de Kul'Saj, de Kyzyl-Bulak et d'Oj-Dzhajljau)
This article presents a bio-anthropological study of an assemblage of cremations found in various sites of the Late and Final Bronze Ages of the Semirich'e area (southeast Kazakhstan). The results indicate that burning took place once or twice and concerned not only adults of both sexes but also immature individuals. In the case of vety young individuals, it seems that there was a specific process at the time of deposition in the pit. Double buri…
Le "Laris-Goguet" à Feigneux (Oise), une grotte sépulcrale de la fin du Néolithique. De nouvelles données à partir d'une étude, archéologique et anthropologique, effectuée sur les sujets immatures
Archaeological material in great quantities has been collected over the last decades as the result of work on funeral structures. Research on this material has not always been published and, if so, partly only (archaeological aspect only). The following study suggests that through a global approach, analysing an existing collection can open new research channels which in turn may generate data unsuspected beforehand
