Tracing human–fire relations in early sedentary communities: Fire installations and micromorphological insights from combustion-related deposits at pre-pottery Neolithic B tell Halula (Syria)
Fire installations are key in archaeology for understanding the organisation of social spaces in past societies, as they provide valuable insights into domestic activities, production and consumption practices, and the creation of spaces of belonging. During the transition from mobile hunting-gathering to sedentary agricultural strategies, concepts of space changed, with buildings shifting to rectilinear, multi-roomed structures. In this context,…
The Early Bronze Age occupations at Gird Lashkir (Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan): New data on the third millennium BCE in Northern Mesopotamia
This paper presents new archaeological data from the site of Gird Lashkir (Erbil Plain, Iraqi Kurdistan), contributing to ongoing debates concerning the character and development of Early Bronze Age societies in northern Mesopotamia. Excavations conducted over ten seasons have documented a well-preserved and stratified sequence comprising seven occupation phases attributed to the Ninevite 5 horizon (ca. 3000–2500 BCE). This sequence provides a ra…

Archaeological Excavations in Iraqi Kurdistan: Unveiling New Evidence on the Development of Complex Societies in Northern Mesopotamia at Gird Lashkir (Erbil)
This article presents the development and main results of a project underway in present-day Iraqi Kurdistan. The excavations and studies carried out at the Gird Lashkir site, on the plain near the course of the Tigris River, make it possible to contribute significantly to our understanding of the historical evolution of the period from the fourth to the second millennium in northern Mesopotamia. At the chronological level, it focuses on the strat…
Diet in the Early Bronze Age: A buccal microwear analysis from the plain of Barcelona (Spain)
This study aims to characterize the dietary habits of the Barcelona plain (Spain) population during the Early Bronze Age. An analysis of buccal microwear has been performed on 467 samples from 20 individuals buried in the largest cemetery of the plain of Barcelona in this period, the Plaça de la Gardunya, and 1 sample from the site of the Mercat de Santa Caterina. Molars and premolars were examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and …
Combustion features and use of space. A micromorphological approach to the Neolithic occupation at Cova de les Pixarelles (Barcelona, Spain)
Combustion structures are a key element in archaeology for understanding the articulation of the social spaces of past societies since they allow us to approach domestic activities, given their role in daily life production and consumption practices. In the last years, the study of hearths and other combustion features has been enriched by applying a set of new methodologies, which has made it possible to delve deeper into its study and know both…

Sea shells on the riverside: Cowrie ornaments from the PPNB site of Tell Halula (Euphrates, northern Syria)
Tell Halula, Syria: Pre-Pottery Neolithic, Pre-Halaf and Halaf bone objects. From technology to typology
The exceptional bone artefact assemblage from the Neolithic site of Tell Halula (Syria)— PPNB, Pre-Halaf, and Halaf periods— comprises 670 items. The abundant data provided by the faunal remains analysis and the stratigraphic distribution of the bone items, as well as their very good conservation and diversity, permit a holistic analysis of raw material and morphologies. The ultimate goal of this research is the understanding of cultural and soci…
Sharing spheres of interaction in the 6th millennium cal. BC: Halaf communities and beyond
Cet article analyse les possibles interactions sociales entre le nord de la Mésopotamie et le Levant Sud au 6e millénaire cal. BC, à partir d’une évaluation des principales données archéologiques datées de cette période dans ces deux zones géographiques. Les données issues principalement des dernières fouilles archéologiques ont permis d’identifier les dynamiques technologiques et économiques dans les cultures archéologiques voisines de cette pér…

Interpretación tafonómica de la malacofauna marina en el yacimiento neolítico de la Caserna de Sant Pau del Camp (Barcelona)
The shell remains recovered at the ancient Neolithic site of Caserna de Sant Pau (Barcelona) are characterized by a large number of elements of the genus Glycymeris, many of them eroded by wave action. It is therefore surmised that the main part of the archaeomalacological record does not have an alimentary origin. Comparison with current taphonomic analyses could explain this archaeomalocological record as a natural accumulation of sea-borne dep…
Social Interaction at the End of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B: An Inter-site Analysis in the Euphrates Valley
This article discusses contact, social relationships, and social organization between sites at the end of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic in the Euphrates valley; all of which are of high importance for reconstructing and modelling social organization in consolidated agricultural villages. Our analysis has succeeded in identifying a complex range of overlapping levels and types of social interaction that occurred simultaneously and operated at differen…
“Funerary bundles” in the PPNB at the archaeological site of Tell Halula (middle Euphrates valley, Syria): Analysis of the taphonomic dynamics of seated bodies
Les occupations d’Umm-el-Tlel (Syrie centrale) pendant le Kébarien géométrique. Étude du niveau I.2.A (campagnes 1991, 1992 et 1994)
Cet article présente les résultats de la fouille du niveau archéologique I. 2. a du site d’Umm-el-Tlel (El Kowm), un niveau appartenant au Kébarien géométrique. Les travaux sur le terrain ont été menés entre 1991 et 1994. Les matériaux archéologiques et leur répartition spatiale ont été analysés. Les résultats de cette analyse suggèrent que la zone fouillée correspondrait à un espace où des déchets de boucherie ont été accumulés

The changing Neolithic household: Household autonomy and social segmentation, Tell Halula, Syria
Characterization and provenance of the slabs of the Puigseslloses Megalith, Barcelona, Spain
The Puigseslloses megalith tomb (Barcelona, Spain) is located on the summit of a hill in the Vic Plain where the sedimentary rocks that were used in its construction do not crop out. A sedimentological and petrological characterization of the monument's slabs and a multidisciplinary analysis of the outcropping materials in nearby areas has allowed the identification of three possible source areas associated with the Paleogene Banyoles Marls Forma…
Seated Memory: New Insights into Near Eastern Neolithic Mortuary Variability from Tell Halula, Syria
Despite a long history of field research in the Neolithic of the Near East, archaeologists have a remarkably poor understanding of the degree of variation in mortuary practices within and between major Neolithic settlements. Such an understanding is critical for reconstructing the social, economic, and ritual interconnections between people in villages and, by extension, how researchers model social organization in early agricultural villages. Mo…
New Metallurgic Findings from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic: Tell Halula (Euphrates Valley, Syria)
Depuis quelques années, l’un des axes de recherche sur le site de Tell Halula porte sur la caractérisation des pratiques mortuaires durant les phases d’occupation les plus anciennes du site, attribuées au PPNB moyen et récent. Ces pratiques se sont révélées être constantes et très homogènes : le corps était déposé en inhumation primaire, dans une fosse individuelle, creusée à l’intérieur des maisons, près de l’entrée. Plus d’une centaine de sépul…

Les pointes de projectiles et les éléments de faucille représentent deux des principales catégories d’outillage retouché du milieu du 8e millénaire à Tell Halula, illustrant l’importance que les activités liées à l’agriculture et à la chasse avaient pour cette communauté néolithique. Cependant, les résultats d’analyses tracéologiques récentes remettent en cause la fonction de certains de ces outils, pour lesquels une nouvelle analyse est nécessai…

Une Nouvelle séquence stratifiée pour la préhistoire en Syrie semi-désertique
M. Molist excavated several trenches at Umm el Tlel-2, in the El Kowm oasis (Syria). The site yielded a stratigraphie sequence consisting of building levels and knapping areas of the late PPNB (Neolithic), an extensive Epipaleolithic occupation (Kebaran Geometric) and nine Upper Paleolithic layers (Levantine Aurignacian B). Owing to its stratified upper Paleolithic sequence with absolute dates, Umm el Tlel-2 will become a valuable reference site
