Archaeobotanical and dung spherulite evidence for Ubaid and Late Chalcolithic fuel, farming, and feasting at Surezha, Iraqi Kurdistan
Agropastoral subsistence practices can provide important insight into economic organization and surplus production, both integral factors in the emergence and development of socioeconomic inequality during the Chalcolithic Age of Southwest Asia. In this study, we examine evidence for plant husbandry, fuel use, and feasting in northern Mesopotamia during the Ubaid and Late Chalcolithic 1–2 periods (ca. 5200–3800 BCE) at the site of Surezha. Archae…
Dalma ceramics at Surezha in the Erbil Plain
Animal Production and Secondary Products in the Fifth Millennium BC in northern Mesopotamia
Current anthropological and archaeological research posits a strong role for livestock in the development of economic specialization and social inequality in the ancient Near East. We examine animal production in the Ubaid through Late Chalcolithic 2 periods (c. 5200-3800 BC) in northern Mesopotamia, presenting new zooarchaeological data from Tell Surezha. Evidence for gradual and piecemeal intensification of livestock production and secondary pr…
A preliminary assessment of ceramic style and chemical composition during the Chalcolithic era at Surezha, Iraqi Kurdistan
Recent excavations at Surezha, a site in the Erbil Plain of Iraqi Kurdistan, are revealing the settlement history of this village from the late 6th through the mid-4th millennium BC (the Late Ubaid through Late Chalcolithic 4 periods). Throughout Prehistory, this region has had strong cultural links with Eastern Anatolia, Northwestern Iran, Western Syria, and Southern Mesopotamia, although the detailed chronology of such connections and their rol…
The burning issue of dung in archaeobotanical samples
Since Naomi Miller’s first discussion of dung fuel within macro-botanical samples from Malyan, Iran, considerations of dung fuel across Southwest Asia have become commonplace, yet archaeobotanists remain divided on: (1) the extent to which dung fuel contributed to archaeobotanical assemblages relative to remnants of repeated crop processing and household activities; and (2) the plant-based, middle-range theories that should be used to infer the p…

Ubaid plant use at Tell Zeidan, Syria
Cet article présente les données de 47 échantillons archéobotaniques collectés dans des zones domestiques et non domestiques à Tell Zeidan, large site de l’Obeïd en Syrie, à la confluence de l’Euphrate et du Balikh. De nombreuses structures pyrotechniques indiquent une production artisanale intensive et répétée. Alors que les restes de bois carbonisés sont très bien représentés dans toutes les structures de combustion les traces de fumier sont ra…
The War-Ravaged Cultural Heritage of Afghanistan
Afghanistan is the quintessential “crossroads of cultures” where the civilizations of the Near East, Central Asia, South Asia, and China interacted over the millennia in a constantly shifting mixture of trade, emulation, migration, imperial formations, and periodic conflict. This complex history of contacts gave rise to some of the most important archaeological, artistic, architectural, and textual treasures in world cultural heritage. Thirty fiv…
A Theoretical Model for Political Economy and Social Identity in the Old Assyrian Colonies of Anatolia

The Archaeology of Colonial Encounters
Colonialism and its legacies have emerged as one of the most important research topics in anthropology. Indeed, we now understand that colonialism gave rise to and shaped the discipline. However, the understanding of colonization in anthropology, history, and other fields derives largely from studies of European expansion. In this volume, ten archaeologists analyze the assumptions that have constrained previous studies of colonialism and demonstr…
From Passive Periphery to Active Agents
Traditional archaeological approaches to interregional interaction or culture contact have relied on unidirectional, Eurocentric interpretive frameworks such as the world systems and acculturation models. More recently, researchers from diverse fields such as prehistoric archaeology, the archaeology of ancient literate societies, and historical archaeology have begun to develop a new perspective on interregional interaction. Problems with these m…

Material Culture and Social Identity
Archaeological analyses of interaction between colonies and host communities require an understanding of the relationship between material culture and alternative forms of social identity. Foreign material culture assemblages in indigenous settlements may reflect exchange, emulation, or actual ethnic differences between colonizing groups and local host communities. Establishing the presence of colonies and reconstructing the organization of cross…
Reconstructing Mesopotamian Exchange Networks in the 4th Millennium BC
Archaeologists interested in primary and secondary state formation have often focused their research on inter-regional exchange and cross-cultural interaction. The organization of exchange in the Uruk expansion - the world's first colonial trading system - was examined in a collaborative project of archaeologists and geochemists to determine sources of ancient bitumen (natural petroleum tar) artifacts from an early Mesopotamian trading colony in …

Uruk Colonies and Anatolian Communities
The first Mesopotamian city-states in the Uruk period (ca. 3800-3100 B. C.) pursued a strategy of commercial expansion into neighboring areas of the Zagros Mountains, Syria, and southeastern Anatolia. Recent research in these areas has located several Uruk outposts, in what is apparently the world's earliest-known colonial system. Although some Uruk "colonies" have been excavated, virtually nothing is known about either the operation of this syst…

The Standardization Hypothesis and Ceramic Mass Production
Archaeologists often use measurements of standardization in ceramics as evidence for specialized craft production. Analysis of fine-ware bowl kiln wasters from the urban center of Leilan, Syria (ca. 2300 B.C.) provides a rare opportunity to test the standardization hypothesis against the archaeological record of a single production event. Scanning-electron microscopy, xeroradiography, neutron activation, and metric analyses of the wasters show ex…
Regional Economic Integration in Early State Societies
This paper uses faunal remains from the third millennium B.C. village site of Gritille in southeast Turkey to study productive specialization in early state societies. The degree of specialization in rural pastoral production reflects the extent of village integration within larger regional economic systems. Ethnographic and archaeological studies suggest several models of expected herd composition under different forms of generalized and special…

Excavations at Tell Leilan, Syria
The 1985 season of excavations at Tell Leilan, north-eastern Syria, revised our knowledge of the city's role in Mesopotamian cultural, political, and developmental history of the mid-third and early second millennium B. C. The Acropolis Period I Building Level 2 (19th century) temple plan was completed and established as the earliest historic period example of the Assyrian "long-room" temple.
