Provisioning a Silk Road City: Herd Management Strategies at the Urban Site of Dzhankent, Kazakhstan
This study presents evidence for herd management at the early medieval city of Dzhankent in southern Kazakhstan. Located along the Northern Silk Road, Dzhankent was a key trading node linking northern and southern areas between the 9th and 10th centuries ce . To investigate livestock management strategies within this urban center, we conducted incremental carbon (δ 13 C) and oxygen (δ 18 O) isotope analysis on second molars from 16 sheep. Results…
Reassessing the Levantine Tradition of Early Bronze III Bone Tubes: The View from Tell el-Hesi
Incised bone tubes are an important class of artifacts associated with the 3rd millennium b.c.e. throughout the Near East and eastern Mediterranean. Typically made of ovicaprine or cattle long bones and decorated with a series of incised motifs, bone tubes are a rare find in Early Bronze (EB) elite burial and settlement contexts. New work at Tell el-Hesi, Israel, has shown that a specialized bone tube workshop was present at the site, operating o…
Decorated Bone Tube Manufacture in Early Bronze Age Israel: Experimental Analysis of Bone Preparation and Incising
Resource allocation and rising complexity during the Iron Age IIA: An isotopic case study from Khirbet Summeily, Israel
Cultural Modification Analyses on Faunal Remains in Relation to Space Use and Direct Provisioning from Field VI Ebiiia Tell el-Hesi
Archaeological excavations at Tell el-Hesi have revealed an extensive Early Bronze Age IIIA city supported by grain-production and possibly trade. Early Bronze III materials are evident from multiple phases of settlement remains and a fortification wall visible in several excavated fields. From these, it appears that animal husbandry, along with grain production, were the main staples for the settlement. The majority of the excavated Early Bronze…
Identification of an EB Iiia Incised Bone Tube Workshop at Tell el-Hesi, Israel
The Joint Archaeological Expedition to Tell el-Hesi (1970–1983) identified an unusually large number of incised bone tubes from Early Bronze Age IIIA contexts in Field VI. Excavations recovered a total of 15 fragments of the distinctive EB III incised artefacts, two incised bone beads, worked bone debris, and installations for heating concentrated in a sector immediately adjacent to the city wall. Based on these co-occurrences, the original proje…
