Preliminary Results from the Gardabani Archaeological Survey (GAS), Republic of Georgia
Despite representing the heartland of the Shulaveri-Shomu Neolithic “culture” and the Sioni/Tsopi Chalcolithic “culture,” the Gardabani region in the Republic of Georgia is a virtual terra incognita for archaeological survey and excavation. In the summer of 2019, the Gardabani Archaeological Survey project conducted a regional pedestrian survey to document the area and understand how its settlement patterns compared, both synchronically and diach…
The Shamash Gate, Nineveh
The Shamash Gate of Nineveh is one of the major gates that leads into the city from the east. Archaeological work at the gate has been on hold since the early 1970s, when the Iraqi State Board of Antiquities and Heritage embarked on excavations and reconstruction of the gate. A preliminary investigation of the Shamash Gate in 2020 by the Iraqi–Italian Nineveh Expedition (NINEV_E), under the directorship of Nicolò Marchetti, revealed both the cons…
Antioch on the Orontes
Antioch on the Orontes was one of the most important cities of the ancient Mediterranean world. A hinge between the Mediterranean, Central Asia, and the Far East, its commercial and cultural prominence spanned centuries, from its Seleucid foundation to the Islamic conquest and beyond. This volume offers an archaeological and historical overview of Antioch from its origins through late antiquity. Drawing on a vast body of modern research, it explo…
The Tepe Gawra Lower Town Survey 2022
Tepe Gawra has long been seen as an essential site for late prehistoric and early historic periods, not only in Iraq but for the entirety of northern Mesopotamia. This importance stems from its long sequence, and its implications for understanding the development of societal complexity. Despite its small size, Tepe Gawra has produced evidence of highly specialized practices that overshadowed farming. This has led to the suggestion that the site w…
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…
The spatial Matryoshka doll
Investigations into the Kura-Araxes have significantly accelerated over the past two decades, of which Ruben Badalyan has been a leading figure. Of particular interest is the spread of the Kura-Araxes sites across a large portion of the Near East, whose number has significantly grown over the past two decades due to the increase of surveys in the Middle East and Caucasia. While many have focused on the meaning of this increase in settlement vis-à…
The Leilatepe phenomenon (3900–3600 cal. BCE)
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…
A Stele of Sargon II at Tell Tayinat
The delivery of a basalt fragment to the Hatay Arkeoloji Müzesi by a farmer who had found it at Tell Tayinat drew our attention to four other basalt fragments inscribed with cuneiform from Tell Tayinat that are currently in the collection of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago
