Cultural Heritage-Wise Analysis Based on Multilateral Comparanda Attesting to The Uniqueness of Castrum Zerzevan and its Mithraeum
The Zerzevan Fortress on the eastern borders of the Roman Empire reflects the prototype of the headquarters established by the Romans in Upper Mesopotamia. The fortress is one of the rare examples that has survived to the present day, partially preserving its plan scheme. It is also a quasi-civilian settlement where rituals of different belief systems and Roman military planning elements can be seen together. Dating back to the 1st-6th centuries …
Lejyoner Kalesi̇'nde Sanat
Roma İmparatorluğu'nun doğu sınır garnizonu olan Zerzevan Kalesi'nin bulunduğu bölge, dönemin iki büyük gücü olan Roma ile Parth/Sasaniler arasındaki büyük çatışmalara tanıklık etmiştir. Bu anlaşmazlıklara ciddi şekilde maruz kalmış olan yerlerden biri de Diyarbakır'ın Çınar ilçesinin 13 km güneydoğusundaki Demirölçek Köyü sınırları içinde yer alan Zerzevan Kalesi'dir. Zerzevan Kalesi askeri yerleşiminde 2014 yılında başlayan kazı çalışmaları, bö…
Beyond the Roman East
A rock-cut Mithraic sanctuary (2nd-3rd centuries) was excavated in Castrum Zerzevan. With its architectural authenticity and connectedness to the neighbouring structures, it has remained intact since it was purposefully buried probably around 4th century. The authors argue that it stands as the only known Mithraeum on the eastern border of Rome until proven otherwise. The close up of the site is expressible with the transition process from pagani…
The Winery in Context
The paper examines the physical and contextual situation of a series of nine rock hewn pressing installations forming a complex of a winery workshop (ca. 5 decares) which was unearthed during excavations executed at the Roman site of Ambar village. Matching the Upper Mesopotamia and fed by a fair distance permanent water source – the Ambarçay Stream in close proximity, the site lies over limestone bedrock convenient for processing in a hard groun…
Chipped stone assemblages of Körtik Tepe (Turkey)
Prelude to village life. Environmental data and building traditions of the Epipalaeolithic settlement at Körtik Tepe, Southeastern Turkey
Recent archaeological discoveries, refinements in genetic analyses and the archaeobotanical data require a reconsideration of the nature of the emergence of sedentary farming communities in Southeastern Turkey. In the rescue excavations prompted by the Batman and Ilısu dam projects several Early Holocene sites were discovered. For the first time, new data from Körtik Tepe now provide detailed evidence of a local Epipalaeolithic origin for these p…
Networks and Neolithisation
Methodological Implications of New Radiocarbon Dates from the Early Holocene Site of Körtik Tepe, Southeast Anatolia
One of the greatest challenges of contemporary archaeology is to synthesize the large amount of radiocarbon and archaeological data into a useful dialogue. For the late Epipaleolithic and the Early Neolithic of the Near East, many 14 C ages have been published without precise stratigraphic documentation. Consequently, for archaeological age models we often must use some more elementary approaches, such as probabilistic summation of calibrated age…
