- Abstract
The article presents 30 years of Italian archaeological research in Armenia, carried out by CNR and ISMEO. The research - surveys and excavations - focused on the presence in Armenia of the Urartian kingdom, the first state in the Caucasian area, and on its background, the Early Iron Age. Fieldwork was carried out in the basin of the Sevan Lake and in the regions of Kotayk and Vayots Dzor. The studies included pre-Urartian and Urartian systems of territorial control; travel routes; development of social complexity and increase of conflicts among local and foreign groups between Early Bronze Age and the birth of the Urartian state; the impact of the birth and development of the Urartian kingdom and its interactions with local communities; architecture and material culture from late Iron Age to the Achaemenid empire; cultural continuity between the end of the Urartian kingdom and Late Antiquity. It was possible to see that the economic basis of the Urartian state was based on the co-existence of a stock-raising model and of a high agricultural development, with the exploitation of local mineral resources. Interaction and integration with local communities was crucial for the success of Urartu, which had a very strong impact on local cultures also in the centuries following its demise. The strong Urartian influence was an essential element in the ethnogenesis of the Armenian people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The book compiles a portion of the contributions presented during the symposium “Urbanisation, commerce, subsistence and production during the third millennium BC on the Iranian Plateau”, which took place at the Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée in Lyon, the 29-30 of April, 2014. The twenty papers assembled provide an overview of the recent archaeological research on this region of the Middle East during the Bronze Age. The socio-economic transformation from rural villages to towns and nations has prompted many questions into this evolution of urbanisation. What was the impact of interactions between cultures in the Iranian Plateau and the surrounding regions (Mesopotamia, the South Caucasus, Central Asia, Indus Valley)? What was the overall context during the Bronze Age on the Iranian Plateau? What was the extent and means of the expansion of the Kuro-Araxe culture? How did the Elamite Kingdom become established? What new knowledge has been contributed by the recent excavations and studies undertaken in the east of Iran? What was the influence of the Indus Valley culture, known as an epicentre of urbanisation in South Asia? What are the unique characteristics of the ancient cultures in Iran? While the urbanisation of early Mesopotamia has been the subject of much debate for several decades, this topic has only recently been raised in respect to the Iranian Plateau. This volume is the product of an international community from Iranian, European, and American institutions, consisting of recognised specialists in the archaeology of the Iranian Bronze Age. It provides an overview of the latest research, including abundant results from current on-going excavations. The current state of archaeological research in Iran, comprising many dynamic questions and perspectives, is presented here in the form of original contributions on the first emergence of towns in the Near and Middle East. L’ouvrage rassemble une partie des contributions présentées lors du colloque «Urbanisation, commerce, subsistance et production au iiie millénaire avant J.-C. sur le Plateau iranien» qui s’est tenu à la Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée à Lyon les 29 et 30 avril 2014. Les vingt articles réunis livrent un état récent de la recherche archéologique dans cette région du Moyen‑Orient pour l’âge du Bronze. Le développement socio-économique entre le mode de vie rural et la formation des villes et des états soulève de nombreuses interrogations sur le processus de l’urbanisation. Quel est l’impact des relations culturelles entre le Plateau iranien et les régions adjacentes (Mésopotamie, Sud-Caucase, Asie centrale, vallée de l’Indus) ? Quel est le contexte global de l’âge du Bronze sur le Plateau Iranien ? Comment s’opère l’expansion de la culture Kuro-Araxe à partir du Caucase ? Comment le royaume élamite se met en place ? Quel est l’apport des fouilles et travaux récents dans l’Est iranien ? Quelle est l’influence de la vallée de l’Indus, un centre d’urbanisation important en Asie ? Comment se manifestent les singularités du monde iranien ? Alors que la thématique de l’urbanisation en Mésopotamie a été très débattue ces dernières décennies, cette question est abordée depuis peu pour le Plateau iranien. Le présent volume émane d’une communauté internationale d’archéologues d’institutions iraniennes, européennes et américaines, spécialistes reconnus de l’archéologie iranienne de l’âge du Bronze. Il dresse un panorama de l’état des recherches qui se nourrit amplement des travaux de terrain en cours. L’ouvrage rend compte de la dynamique actuelle de la recherche archéologique en Iran, riche de nouveaux questionnements et de nouvelles perspectives, et constitue un apport original à la réflexion sur l’émergence des villes au Moyen-Orient.

First season of archaeological excavation at the pre- and proto-historic site of Tepe Chalow in northern Khorasan Province, NE Iran, was carried out by a joint Irano-Italian expedition in autumn of 2011. The joint team opened 9 trenches in the core zone plus 28 small testing pits in the periphery of the site to evaluate accumulation and extension of archaeological layers. Archaeological analysis of the material and data gathered through excavation show influence of different cultural areas including Damghan (Hissar I‑II) and Gorgan plain (Shah Tepe III‑II) to the south and north of Alborz Mountain, respectively, as well as piedmont zone of the northern Kopet-dagh in southern Turkmenistan (NMZ III, VI).One of the most important results of the first campaign is the discovery of a large mid‑late Bronze Age necropolis with the material culture of Namazga VI, the so-called “BMAC”. A total of 6 graves with BMAC/GKC materials were excavated in the first season which yielded not only the luxury objects but also the ordinary, household objects and the pottery identical to the contemporary assemblages from Bactria and Margiana. The bio-archaeological studies during the first season of excavation at Chalow show that agriculture and herding were important components of the economic activities of the site all through the occupational sequence. La première saison de la fouille archéologique du site pré- et protohistorique de Tepe Chalow dans le nord de la province du Khorasan au nord-est de l’Iran a été menée par une mission conjointe irano-italienne en automne 2011. Cette équipe conjointe a ouvert 9 tranchées dans la zone centrale et 28 petits sondages à la périphérie du site pour évaluer l’épaisseur et l’extension des niveaux archéologiques. L’analyse archéologique du matériel et des données de la fouille montre l’influence de différentes régions culturelles comprenant Damghan (Hissar I‑II) et la plaine de Gorgan (Shah Tepe III‑II) respectivement au sud et au nord du massif de l’Elbourz, ainsi que la zone des piémonts du Kopet-dagh septentrionnal dans le sud du Turkmenistan (NMZ III, VI).Un des résultats les plus importants de la première campagne est la découverte d’une vaste nécropole du milieu et de la fin de l’âge du Bronze avec une culture matérielle de Namazga VI, nommée “BMAC”. Un total de 6 tombes avec du matériel BMAC/GKC ont été fouillées lors de la première saison. Elles contenaient non seulement des objets de luxe mais aussi des objets ordinaires, domestiques, et de la céramique identique aux assemblages contemporains de Bactriane et de Margiane.Les études bio-archéologiques de la première saison de fouille à Tepe Chalow révèlent que l’agriculture et l’élevage étaient des composantes importantes des activités économiques du site tout au cours de la séquence d’occupation. در پاییز 1390 هیأت مشترک ایرانی-ایتالیایی فصل نخست کاوش های باستان شناسی در محوطه پیش از تاریخ و آغاز تاریخی تپه چلو در خراسان شمالی، شمال شرق ایران را آغاز کرد. هیأت مشترک 9 ترانشه در قسمت های میانی و 28 گمانه آزمایشی در اطراف تپه جهت شناسایی انباشت و گسترۀ نهشته های باستانی و تعیین عرصه و حریم اثر باز کرد. تحلیل داده ها و مواد حاصل از کاوش حاکی از نفوذ حوزه های فرهنگی مختلف در این منطقه از جمله دشت دامغان (حصار 1 و 2) و دشت گرگان (شاه تپه 3 و 2) به ترتیب در جنوب و شمال رشته کوه البرز و نیز حوزۀ فرهنگی آسیای مرکزی در کوهپایه های شمال کپه داغ در جنوب ترکمنستان (نمازگاه 3 و 6) است.یکی از مهمترین نتایج نخستین فصل کاوش، کشف یک گورستان وسیع از عصر مفرغ میانی-جدید با مواد فرهنگی نوع نمازگاه 6 معروف به مجموعۀ باستان شناختی بلخی-مروی است. در این فصل روی هم رفته 6 گور از نوع بلخی-مروی/تمدن خراسان بزرگ کاوش شد که در آنها نه تنها اشیای تجملاتی و شأن زا، بلکه اشیای روزمره و عادی و سفال یکسان با مجموعه های همزمان از باختر و مارگیانا پیدا شد.بررسی های زیست باستان شناسی بقایای حاصل از فصل نخست کاوش در تپه چلو نشان می دهد بخش های اصلی اقتصاد معیشتی مردمان این محل در تمام دورۀ سکونت را کشاورزی و دامداری تشکیل می داده است.
