Epigraphic finds of the 2023 Iraqi-Dutch excavations at Marad
Cet article présente les découvertes épigraphiques issues des fouilles irako-néerlandaises de 2023 à Marad (l’actuel Tell es-Sadoum). Près de cinquante (fragments de) tablettes et/ou enveloppes ont été retrouvés ; certains étaient anépigraphes, mais la majorité portait une écriture cunéiforme. Parmi ceux-ci, vingt-trois textes d’intérêt particulier sont édités et publiés ici. La plupart datent du début de l’époque paléo-babylonienne, avec quelque…
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…
Development of water management strategies in southern Mesopotamia during the fourth and third millennium B.C.E
The last two decades witnessed increasing scholarly interest in the history of water management in southern Mesopotamia. Thanks to many geoarchaeological research projects conducted throughout the central and southern Iraqi floodplains, a general understanding of the macrophases of anthropogenic manipulation of this vast hydraulic landscape has been achieved. However, current narratives mostly rely on studies at a regional scale and are based on …
New Inscribed Bricks of Takil-ilissu, King of Malgûm
In this paper, we publish some remarkable brick inscriptions of Takil-ilissu, king of Malgûm, which were recently found during a survey that led to the identification of Malgûm, the capital of an independent kingdom in the Isin-Larsa period. The bricks come from Tulūl al-Fāj, the site that has been identified as ancient Malgûm. Besides adding new details about Takil-ilissu, a relatively little-known ruler, these inscriptions are noteworthy for co…
Excavations at Tell as-Sadoum, ancient Marad (Iraq)
This paper presents preliminary results of the archaeological campaign carried out in the autumn 2019 at Tell as-Sadoum and Wanna, north-west of the city of al-Diwaniyah. The fieldwork comprised excavations at Tell as-Sadoum, where three test areas were opened, and a survey of the small site of Wanna in the southern neighborhood, providing data on the sequence of occupation and broadening our knowledge about the development and extension of the s…
Revisiting Fara
Ancient Šuruppak, today Fara, was one of the major Sumerian cities in Mesopotamia. It was situated along one of the ancient watercourses of the Euphrates River. Findings date it back to the Jemdet Nasr period around 3000 bc with a continuous occupation until the end of the Ur III period around 2000 bc . Fara was first explored and excavated by the Deutsche Orient‐Gesellschaft in the years 1902 and 1903 under the direction of Walter Andrae. Multip…
An Early Uruk Site in Al-Qadisiya Governate (Iraq)
Despite its importance as the foundation of the later urban south Mesopotamian landscape, the Early Uruk period has seldom been examined. This paper presents recent survey work at the Early Uruk site of Jemdat Zabi, located in the Sumer district in the Al-Qadisiya Governorate, Southern Iraq. From ths work at the site, we were able to record a wide variety of objects and document visible architectural remains on the surface dating to the Early Uru…
Tell Waresh2, Early Old Babylonian Tablets from the Season of Rescue Excavations (1990)
Dans cet article, quatorze textes issus des fouilles de sauvetage de Tell Waresh2 dans le sud de l’Irak sont publiés. Le site était proche de Nippur et a été détruit à la suite d’ouvrages hydrauliques dans les années 90. Environ soixante-douze objets comportant des écritures cunéiformes ont été découverts, portant pour la plupart des dates appartenant aux rois de Larsa
The Rise of Urbanized Landscapes in Mesopotamia
This paper draws on the preliminary results of the QADIS survey project, conducted by the University of Bologna and the Iraqi State Board of Antiquities and Heritage since 2016 in the Qadisiyah province. The project addresses phenomena related to anthropogenic transformation of landscapes in a region that was at the core of the early Mesopotamian urbanization process. Building upon the seminal work conducted by R. McC. Adams in the 1960 s and 197…
The Archaeological Heritage of Iraq in Historical Perspective
Ongoing interest in the fate and state of the archaeological and historical heritage of Iraq is vividly attested by a spate of publications that shows no sign of drying up (the literature since 2003 is too vast even to summarise here. For this year alone see the following major studies: Emberling and Hanson, 2008; Rothfield, 2008; Stone and Bajjaly, 2008). What more could there be to say on this subject? In this article, written by a recent Chair…
