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 …
Long-Term Urban and Population Trends in the Southern Mesopotamian Floodplains
The processes of long-term urbanization in southern Mesopotamia are still insufficiently investigated, even though recent studies using large datasets and focusing on neighboring regions have paved the way to understanding the critical role of multiple variables in the shaping of settlement strategies by ancient human societies, among which climate change played an important role. In this paper, we tackle these issues by analyzing, within the new…
Historical Irrigation Landscape Systems
Water represents a crucial human concern and its role has been critical in driving many social, political, cultural, and economic developments for millennia on a global scale. The accessibility to
Applying Icomos-Ifla Principles for the Conservation, Management and Reuse of a Historical Hydraulic System
Historical hydraulic systems represent a significant part of landscapes and global heritage. However, from the second half of the 20th century onwards, substantial socio-economic as well as technological changes occurring worldwide have put them at risk of abandonment and, eventually, of disappearing. Recent studies and international conventions, including the ICOMOS-IFLA, framed historical hydraulic systems and water management techniques in a n…
Evaluation of risks to Unesco World Heritage (WH) sites in Taxila, Pakistan using ground-based and satellite remote sensing techniques
A multi‐temporal satellite‐based risk analysis of archaeological sites in Qazvin plain (Iran)
In recent decades, we have witnessed a dramatic increase in the risks and damages to archaeological sites and heritage places across the globe. By analysing a case study (the Qazvin plain) in northern Iran, we propose a classification of the types of risks and damages to archaeological sites and we assess the impact of each type over the last 40 years (1980s–2020s). Our research methodology consists of the cross‐correlated multi‐temporal analysis…
The economic and institutional determinants of trade expansion in Bronze Age Greater Mesopotamia
Local voices on heritage
Community engagement is now a consolidated and essential part of many archaeological research projects. In particular, it is widely \nrecognized as a powerful tool for laying the foundation for any community archaeology programme. This paper explores the \nperceptions of a community living North-East of the city of Kufa (Iraq) towards the archaeological sites and cultural heritage in general. In particular, we designed an action-oriented research…
Archaeology and Dams in South-Eastern Turkey
Barajların inşaası ve kültürel miras üzerindeki etkileri, iklim değişikliği ve dar odaklı kalkınma politikaları zamanla giderek büyüyen bir sorundur. Biz burada Türkiye’nin güneydoğusundaki Orta Fırat Vadisi’nde üç büyük barajın (Atatürk, Birecik ve Karkamış) temsil ettiği örnek bir olayı analiz ediyoruz. Barajların arkeolojik alanlar üzerindeki etkisini ölçmek için “Su Tutma Sonrası Hasar Değerlendirmesi” (SSHD/PFDA) uyguladık. SSHD’miz, Landsat…
Archaeology and Dams in Southeastern Turkey
The construction of dams is an ever-growing threat to cultural heritage, particularly in an age of climate change and narrowly focused development policies. In analyzing as a case study three major reservoirs in the Middle Euphrates river valley in southeastern Turkey (Atatürk, Birecik and Karkam??), we developed a Post-Flooding Damage Assessment (PFDA) to evaluate the impact of dams on archaeological sites. Our PFDA, consisting of an analysis of…

Rediscovering the Heartland of Cities
The study of Mesopotamian early urbanism has its roots in Robert McCormick Adams’s pioneering research of the 1960s and 1970s. From the holistic approach applied during his long academic career derived the historical narratives that still represent the starting point for many recent reappraisals. Adams’s surveys in southern Mesopotamia were carried out according to standards and scopes that were unparalleled in their time. The large-scale perspec…
A Risk Assessment for Cultural Heritage in Southern Iraq
This paper proposes a classification of the risks threatening archaeological sites in southern Iraq and suggests some possible remediation to better preserve them. This has been possible thanks to a research methodology that combines remote sensing and ground control on a sample of 558 sites documented by the Iraqi-Italian QADIS survey project. A three-tier typological framework has been created illustrating the risks jeopardising the cultural he…
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…
A multi-scalar approach for assessing the impact of dams on the cultural heritage in the Middle East and North Africa
A Radiocarbon Date From Early Dynastic Kish and the Stratigraphy and Chronology of the Ywn Sounding at Tell Ingharra
Between 1927 and 1930 a joint expedition by the University of Oxford and the Field Museum of Chicago to the site of Kish opened a series of soundings (ZY, Y, YW and YWN) on the mound of Tell Ingharra in order to investigate the earliest periods of the settlement. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the YWN sounding utilizing previously unpublished documentation and excavated objects, and offers a new interpretation of the evidence. In addi…
Craft, administration and power in Early Dynastic Mesopotamian public buildings. Recovering the Plano-convex building at Kish, Iraq
The Plano-convex building (PCB) at Kish is a very significant complex from the 3rd millennium in Mesopotamia. This construction was partially uncovered and the evidence was sketchily recorded and published by the Anglo-American expedition. Notwithstanding the value of subsequent studies, much work remains to be done to understand the stratigraphy, chronology and function of the building. Thus, the aim of this paper is the understanding of the arc…
