The Flooding of Lagash (Iraq)
High‐resolution remote sensing, magnetometry, and trench stratigraphy identify a significant flood event at Lagash (modern Tell al‐Hiba) during the late Early Dynastic period (ca. 2400–2350 BC ). Satellite imagery and magnetometry reveal a 90‐meter‐wide meander belt—3–15 times broader than documented canals—adjacent to primary temple districts. Test trenches further exposed over one meter of flood‐deposited silt covering existing architecture. Op…
Tapeh Tyalineh
The Mahidasht region is a vital cultural sphere on the Great Khorasan Road that has provided substantial evidence for administrative activity, which is considered to be an indicator of economic and political complexity in late prehistoric societies. This article discusses a corpus of bureaucratic artefacts from the site of Tapeh Tyalineh in the Kouzaran plain in the north of Mahidasht, including 52 jar sealings and 12 door sealings. The artefacts…

Dense urbanism and economic multi-centrism at third-millennium BC Lagash
Studies of ancient Mesopotamian cities have long focused on their institutions. Here, instead, the authors draw on recent investigations at the third-millennium BC site of Lagash (modern Tell al-Hiba, Iraq) to explore urban density, economy and sustainability at one of the largest ancient urban centres of the region. Drawing on excavation, environmental and remote-sensing data, the authors adopt a multi-scalar approach, revealing dense urban occu…
Art/ifacts and ArtWorks in the Ancient World
A Sacred Landscape of Sumer
The statuettes commonly referred to as “Ram Caught in a Thicket” (2500 BC ) may well be associated with what is known from later texts (2nd millennium BC ) as the (daily) determining-of-the-fates ritual that occurred at sunrise. Symbolic elements (tree, rosette, leaf, possible mountain), and motifs (quadruped facing a tree) occur in other media—glyptic, musical instruments—and their meaning informs the unique combination of elements found in thes…

The earliest cylinder seal in the Arabian Peninsula
A cylinder seal of Late Uruk (late fourth millennium BC) type from Abu Dhabi is presented and analysed. Comparisons with excavated finds from elsewhere in the Near East are discussed. An inventory of cylinder seals from sites in the UAE and the Sultanate of Oman shows that cylinder seal use, while not unknown in the region, was never very great. The ways in which the seal may have arrived at its eventual place of discovery are described and the s…
Excavations at Konar Sandal in the Region of Jiroft in the Halil Basin
Massive looting in 2000 drew the attention of Iranian archaeologists to the important Bronze Age archaeological sites in the region of Jiroft. The preliminary results of five seasons of excavation at two of the largest sites, Konar Sandal South and Konar Sandal North are presented here. Results of this work include the exposure of monumental architecture on the Citadel and domestic and industrial architecture in the lower town of Konar Sandal Sou…

Excavations at Tell Brak 1998
The 22nd season of excavations at Tell Brak took place in April and May of 1998, with David Oates as Project Director and Geoff Emberling as Field Director. It is our pleasure to mention institutions and people who made the project such a success. This season was primarily funded by the Adelaide Milton de Groot Fund (in memory of the de Groot and Hawley families) of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Carsten Niebuhr Institute of the University o…
Administrative Evidence from Hacinebi Tepe
Les fouilles conduites à Hacmebi ont permis de reconnaître trois phases du Chalcolithique récent, chacune présentant de nombreux témoins que l'on a pu mettre en relation avec les systèmes administratifs. Cet article résume le développement sur le long terme - au cours du Chalcolithique récent - des pratiques administratives et de leurs outils. Un contrôle chronologique serré des témoins retrouvés à Hacmebi nous ont permis d'affiner la datation re…
Southeast Anatolia Before the Uruk Expansion
Excavations at Tıtrıs Höyük in Southeastern Turkey
The Glazed Steatite Glyptic Style
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…

New Evidence for Interaction between the Iranian Plateau and the Indus Valley
Red Polished Ware (RPW) is a type of pottery found in greatest concentrations in Gujarat. Customarily, it is a marker of the Early Historic (EH) period in Gujarat, a period of significant social change and complexity in the Kathiawad Peninsula, southern Gujarat, and the region of Kachchh. This chapter talks about the pottery that comes from previously unpublished surface collections stored in the regional offices of the Gujarat Department of Arch…
