Caprine Management during the Neolithic Period in the South Caucasus
Cet article analyse les stratégies pastorales du site néolithique de Kültepe I, situé sur l’une des voies d’accès au Caucase, au moment de l’arrivée des populations agro-pastorales et au cours de leur développement. Nous caractérisons les stratégies pastorales à travers les méthodes de l’archéozoologie classique et de la biogéochimie isotopique. Une partie importante de nos données proviennent d’analyses de ratios isotopiques (δ18O, δ13C et 87Sr/…
New data on the connections of ancient settlers of Nakhchivan with the Near East
Archaeological sites identified by studies of 2010–2021 on the territory of Nakhchivan made it possible to supply the gap between the Late Neolithic and Eneolithic Chalcolithic periods. The presence of ancient Eastern features – Halaf and Obeid ones – is noted in the materials of Nakhchivan Tepe, Uçan-Ağıl, Bulovkaya and Uzunoba. It can be assumed that the settlements of Nakhchivan Tepe and Bulovkaya were strongholds or colonies of newcomers – be…
Mouvements de populations dans le Sud-Caucase à la Protohistoire
Le Sud du Caucase se situe à la bordure du Croissant Fertile, où le Néolithique a débuté il y a plus de 10000 ans. Pourtant, l’agriculture et l’élevage y apparaissent avec environ deux millénaires d’écart. Les données archéologiques montrent que les différentes régions du Croissant Fertile (est de l’Anatolie, nord de la Mésopotamie, Iran) ont eu un rôle important dans l’émergence des cultures néolithiques du sud du Caucase. Afin de mieux comprend…

On salt, copper and gold
An international conference focused on the beginnings of mining and metallurgy in the Caucasus was organised in Tbilisi in June 16th-19th 2016 under the auspices of the National Museum of Georgia. This conference, which was funded by the Agence nationale de la recherche (France) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Germany), aimed at discussing the intricate relationships between the emergence of mining and metallurgy, and the shaping of late…

Michèle Casanova et sa fille, Alexandra, en 2011 © A. Gosse Michèle Casanova s’est éteinte le 22 décembre 2020, victime de la COVID-19, après un mois d’hospitalisation. La nouvelle de sa disparition a frappé de stupeur et de tristesse la communauté des orientalistes. Spécialiste reconnue de l’artisanat des pierres dures, albâtre et lapis-lazuli, auxquelles elle avait consacré maîtrise et doctorat, réalisés sous la direction de Jean-Louis Huot à l…
Extending the scale of obsidian studies
Recent archaeological research has highlighted the potential role of mobile pastoral groups in the diffusion of raw materials and technological innovations between the southern Caucasus and north‐western Iran from the Neolithic onwards. Two successive projects, PAST‐OBS and SCOPE, were designed to explore this hypothesis through the study of obsidian consumption patterns from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age using a flexible analytical strategy th…

She had just been appointed professor at Sorbonne Université. Her Parisian students will not have had time to appreciate her qualities. Esteemed by all, Michèle was a recognized specialist in prestige objects, their creation, their circulation, from Afghanistan t…

This paper reports the results of a recent geological and archaeological survey conducted in the Sarab district (Sabalan area) in Northwestern Iran. This survey aimed to identify potential obsidian outcrops in the region and to investigate archaeological sites in the vicinity to assess their obsidian exploitation patterns. We located a new obsidian source, Ideloo, and surveyed the previously known archaeological sites of Tepe Qalehjoogh, Kultepe …
New light on the Late Prehistory of the South Caucasus
Archaeometallurgical Investigations in Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan
The Late Chalcolithic (4400–3950 b.c.) occupation levels from Ovçular Tepesi have yielded a significant assemblage of copper objects and remains of copper production. Together with ore finds, two fragments of nozzle, crucible remains, and a number of small metal artifacts, this assemblage includes the unexpected discovery of three copper axes in an infant burial jar. These axes are the earliest examples of large copper tools known to date in sout…

On the Genesis of the Kura-Araxes phenomenon
The formative processes of the Kura-Araxes cultural complex, in particular the date and circumstances of its rise, have been debated for decades. This article takes advantage of the recent data retrieved from Ovçular Tepesi, a Late Chalcolithic settlement located in Nakhchivan by the Arpaçay river, to demonstrate that the earliest manifestation of the Kura-Araxes phenomenon should be dated back at least to the last quarter of the 5th millennium B…
Düzdaği Tuz Madeni̇nde Arkeoloji̇k Çalişmalar (Nahçi̇van, Azerbeycan)
The mine of Duzdagi is a major salt dome located some 7 km to the northwest of Nakhchivan city, along the former Silk Road linking Tabriz to Constantinople. The slopes of the mine, which is still being exploited today, are dotted with archaeological artefacts, among which potsherds and macrolithic stone tools are found in quantity. In the 1970s, the remains of four workers were found together with their tools by Soviet miners. These remains, whi…
Where did Late Chalcolithic Chaff-Faced Ware originate? Cultural Dynamics in Anatolia and Transcaucasia at the Dawn of Urban Civilization (ca 4500-3500 BC)
Following the discovery of ceramic assemblages related to “ Chaff-Faced Ware” (CFW) in Transcaucasia, this article questions the origins of this ware production, which is often implicitly associated with Upper Mesopotamia and Northern Syria. After a thorough comparison of CFW assemblages attested from the Caucasus down to the Fertile Crescent, it is argued that the presence of CFW over this wide territory does not result, counter to a frequent op…
