Abstract

Ritual practices as behavior, and the cognitive acknowledgment of life and death, foster a depth in social identity, collective social memory, and a societal worldview. This paper outlines the evidence of Early Bronze Age burial practices in northwestern Iran to discuss the newly discovered chamber tombs at Kohne Tepesi within the broader context of mortuary practices during the middle and last part of the 3rd millennium b.c. The findings from Kohne Tepesi support the idea that, at least for parts of Kura-Araxes society, burial rites and commemoration of the dead played a crucial role in their worldview. Furthermore, this site demonstrates that the changes in symbolic practices and social behavior during the Early Kurgan period were not spontaneous but rooted in the last phases of the Kura-Araxes period and that the perceptions of earlier traditions had been conserved in long-term social memory.

11. Resilience in the Diaspora; An Archaeological Approach

Resilience, Migration, Kura-Araxes cultural tradition, Southwest Asia
Abstract

Resilience is not limited either to one strategy or approach nor happened in a short time as an event. It is a long-term process with different cycles of events and should be studied in Longue durée. Archaeology, with its potential, is one of the disciplines that could address this issue by providing the “episodical patterns” of resilience at “temporal or spatial scales”. In this lecture, taking one archaeological case study into account, the conceptualization of “resilience” is discussed. The Kura-Araxes groups migrated in the last part of the 4th millennium BCE from their homeland in the southern Caucasus to Iran, eastern Anatolia (Turkey), as far as the Levant. Migrating to the new lands requires different management and new strategies of adaptation and higher flexibility in resource-management strategies and even internal societal organization. We consider all of these processes, the way they formed their habitus, as resilience efforts of the Kura-Araxes to adapt themselves to the new land. This study will showcase how the concept of resilience makes it possible to examine past societies from different perspectives through interdisciplinary methods, which provides a deeper understating of the mechanism that determines resilience among past societies.

13. Resilience and Migration; Time for Changing the Paradigm for Archaeologists?

Author

Abstract

In the social sciences, there are different narratives of migration. In archaeology, however, this theme is conventionally tackled in many cases from within an old-fashioned traditional framework. Accordingly, some scholars consider it a mono-factorial approach that overlooks the complexity and diversity of other factors at play. Others ignore it, not wishing to be regarded as anachronistic scholars or as being trapped in culture-historical or diffusionist paradigms. In this short essay, I discuss migration in the context of social resilience by adopting approaches from human geography, such as translocality. I argue that this approach will be more promising in the context of migration in anthropological archaeology.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

This paper deals with the results obtained from the study of faunal and botanical remains from Kohneh Pasgah Tepesi (Iran). For archaeozoologists, the north-western part of Iran is one of the most important regions because of the abundance of bovines as well as ovicaprines. The traces of human activities are very well represented. Archaeobotanical studies are still rare in this area, but the first analysis of some recently excavated sites provide very interesting results and show the potential of this key area. This work present a multidisciplinary approach, which constitutes a first picture of interaction between human, animal and plants in Kohneh Pasgah Tepesi during the Late Chalcolithic represented by Sioni and Chaff‑faced traditions and the Early Bronze Age by Kura‑Araxes cultural tradition. In this regards, the presented material in this article would enhance our understanding of the subsistence economy of these traditions inside Iran, of which rarely is published. Cet article présente les résultats des études menées sur les restes fauniques et botaniques provenant de Kohneh Pasgah Tepesi (Iran). Pour les archéozoologues, le nord‑ouest de l’Iran est une région importante en raison de l’abondance de bovins et d’ovicaprins. Les indices d’activités humaines y sont très bien représentés. Si les études archéobotaniques sont encore rares dans cette région, les premières analyses de sites fouillés récemment donnent des résultats particulièrement intéressants et montrent le potentiel de cette région clé. Ce travail présente une approche multidisciplinaire, qui constitue une première image des interactions entre hommes, animaux et plantes à Kohneh Pasgah Tepesi durant le Chalcolithique récent, représenté par les traditions culturelles de type Sioni et Chaff‑Faced Ware, et l’âge du Bronze ancien, représenté par la tradition culturelle Kuro‑Araxe. Le matériel présenté dans cet article permettra d’améliorer notre compréhension des économies de subsistance de ces cultures en Iran, éléments jusqu’ici rarement publiés. مقاله حاضر به نتایج بدست آمده از مطالعات باستان جانورشناختی و باستان گیاه شناختی محوطه باستانی کهنه پاسگاه تپه سی در شمال غرب ایران می پردازد. شمال غرب ایران به دلیل فراوانی گاو وهم چنین گوسفند سانان، یکی از مهمترین مناطق از دیدگاه باستان‌جانورشناختی به شمار می رود. آثار فعالیت های انسانی بر روی بازمانده های حیوانی این محوطه به خوبی قابل مشاهده است. با وجود اینکه مطالعات باستان گیاه شناختی در این منطقه بسیار کم بوده است، اما تجزیه و تحلیل اولیه در چند محوطه که به تازگی مورد کاوش قرار گرفته اند حاوی نتایج بسیار جالبی است که اهمیت این منطقه را بخوبی نشان می دهد. مطالعه حاضر رویکردی چند جانبه شامل تقابل بین انسان، جانور و گیاه در این محوطه در طی دوره مس و سنگی متاخر که با سفال سیونی و کاه رو و عصر مفرغ قدیم که با فرهنگ کورا- ارس شناخته می شود، می باشد. بنابراین با مطالعه مواد فرهنگی محوطه کهنه پاسگاه تپه سی به شناخت بهتری در مورد اقتصاد معیشت در فرهنگ های این دو دوره در ایران دست خواهیم یافت.

17. Iran and the Kura-Araxes cultural tradition, so near and yet so far

Abstract

In the middle of the fourth and beginning of the third millennium BC, the southern part of Caucasus, eastern Anatolia, and northwestern Iran experienced a different cultural development characterized by special material culture identified as the Kura‑Araxes cultural tradition. In this epoch of cultural prehistory, Iran has previously been considered as a peripheral area in comparison with its counterparts of the Mesopotamian heartland to the south, or even northern Mesopotamia. This concept either actuates fewer investigations in this area or studies with the focal point from lowland and its domination. The current chronological framework is also based on past archaeological data from more than four decades ago and surprisingly, since then, nothing has been added to evolve or develop our understanding of this period in Middle Eastern and Iranian history.In this article, reviewing the past studies, I address partly these shortcomings. Furthermore, investigating the new fresh data from the southern part of the Araxes Valley and comparing them with neighbour areas, I have tried to promote a better understanding of cultural dynamics and societal complexity of this timespan in this area. Au milieu du quatrième et troisième millénaire av. J.‑C., le sud du Caucase, l’Anatolie orientale et le nord‑ouest de l’Iran ont connu un développement culturel particulier caractérisé par une culture matérielle spécifique identifiée comme la tradition culturelle Kura‑Araxes. On a longtemps considéré que l’Iran était à cette période une zone périphérique en comparaison avec ses voisins du sud ou même du nord de la Mésopotamie. Ce concept de périphérie n’a guère suscité de recherches dans cette région ou bien il a engendré des études centrées sur la plaine et sa domination. Le cadre chronologique actuel s’appuie aussi sur des données archéologiques vieilles de plus de quatre décennies et, étonnamment, depuis, rien n’a été ajouté pour faire évoluer ou développer nos connaissances de cette période dans l’histoire du Moyen‑Orient et de l’Iran.Dans cet article, en examinant les études réalisées dans le passé, j’aborde en partie ces lacunes. En outre, à partir des nouvelles données du sud de la vallée de l’Araxe et en les comparant avec les régions voisines, j’ai tenté d’apporter ma contribution à une meilleure compréhension des dynamiques culturelles et de la complexité sociale dans cette région durant cette période. در اواسط هزاره چهارم و اوایل هزاره سوم پیش از میلاد در جنوب قفقاز، شرق آناتولی و شمال غرب ایران شاهد ظهور پدیده فرهنگی پیچیده ای هستیم. در این بازه زمانی، اقوام کورا-ارس از مناطق جنوبی ماوراء قفقاز به سمت ایران مهاجرت می کنند و به همراه این حرکت جمعیتی، مواد فرهنگی متعلق به آنان نیز در ابعادی بسیار گسترده، از شمال غرب ایران تا غرب و فلات مرکزی و حتی شمال ایران مشاهده می شود. متاسفانه در مطالعات باستان شناختی مربوط به این دوره، شمال غرب ایران در مقایسه با بین النهرین همیشه به عنوان منطقه ای حاشیه ای در نظر گرفته شده و توجه کمتری به آن شده است. در پژوهشهای اندک صورت گرفته نیز، به خصوص در بازه زمانی هزاره پنجم و چهارم پیش از میلاد، این حوضه همیشه از منظر بین النهرین و در مقایسه با‌ آن مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته و جایگاه خود را در پژوهشهای مربوطه آنچنان که باید و شاید نیافته است. چنانکه گاهنگاری موجود برای این منطقه در کمال تعجب همچنان متکی بر پژوهشهایی است که بیش از چهاردهه قبل انجام شده و متاسفانه از آن زمان تا کنون بازنگری و به روز نشده است. در این مقاله سعی شده است تا با بازبینی اطلاعات موجود به بخشی از این مشکلات پرداخته شود. علاوه براین، با بررسی یافته های اخیر از پژوهشهای صورت گرفته در جنوب دره ارس و مقایسه آن با مناطق مجاور، فهم بهتری از پویایی فرهنگی منطقه و ماهیت پیچیدگی های اجتماعی در این بازه زمانی خاص ارائه شده است.

Abstract

Archaeological evidence indicates that pig domestication had begun by ∼10,500 y before the present (BP) in the Near East, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) suggests that pigs arrived in Europe alongside farmers ∼8,500 y BP. A few thousand years after the introduction of Near Eastern pigs into Europe, however, their characteristic mtDNA signature disappeared and was replaced by haplotypes associated with European wild boars. This turnover could be accounted for by substantial gene flow from local European wild boars, although it is also possible that European wild boars were domesticated independently without any genetic contribution from the Near East. To test these hypotheses, we obtained mtDNA sequences from 2,099 modern and ancient pig samples and 63 nuclear ancient genomes from Near Eastern and European pigs. Our analyses revealed that European domestic pigs dating from 7,100 to 6,000 y BP possessed both Near Eastern and European nuclear ancestry, while later pigs possessed no more than 4% Near Eastern ancestry, indicating that gene flow from European wild boars resulted in a near-complete disappearance of Near East ancestry. In addition, we demonstrate that a variant at a locus encoding black coat color likely originated in the Near East and persisted in European pigs. Altogether, our results indicate that while pigs were not independently domesticated in Europe, the vast majority of human-mediated selection over the past 5,000 y focused on the genomic fraction derived from the European wild boars, and not on the fraction that was selected by early Neolithic farmers over the first 2,500 y of the domestication process.

24. Exploring Beyond the River and Inside the Valleys: Settlement Development and Cultural Landscape of the Araxes River Basin Through Time

Author

Maziar, Sepideh and Zalaghi, Ali

Abstract

ABSTRACTGeographical landmarks, especially rivers, have always played an important role in forming or hampering interplay between societies. In some cases, they act as a “communication route” and in some others as “obstacles”. In north-western Iran, it is possible that the Araxes River played such a decisive role by sculpting its surroundings. While our studies are not yet sufficiently adequate to understand the exact role of this river in different time spans, we can begin in some way to conceptualise its role in different periods. The Araxes Valley Archaeological Project (AVAP) was developed with the general aim of investigating settlement development from the fifth to the third millennium BC. Furthermore, studying the possible and probable routes of interaction, both inter- and intra-regional, between the Jolfa and Khoda Afarin plains and the southern Caucasus and north-western Iran, networks of contacts and exchange, and gaining a better understanding of the geographical characteristics of this area and its landscape were among our aims. In this article, the general history of occupation along this river is given to provide a preliminary database to understand the geographical and socio-political potential of this part in order to pursue more comprehensive studies in the future.

Abstract

Current genetic data are equivocal as to whether goat domestication occurred multiple times or was a singular process. We generated genomic data from 83 ancient goats (51 with genome-wide coverage) from Paleolithic to Medieval contexts throughout the Near East. Our findings demonstrate that multiple divergent ancient wild goat sources were domesticated in a dispersed process that resulted in genetically and geographically distinct Neolithic goat populations, echoing contemporaneous human divergence across the region. These early goat populations contributed differently to modern goats in Asia, Africa, and Europe. We also detect early selection for pigmentation, stature, reproduction, milking, and response to dietary change, providing 8000-year-old evidence for human agency in molding genome variation within a partner species.

International audience; Archaeological evidence indicates that pig domestication had begun by ∼10,500 y before the present (BP) in the Near East, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) suggests that pigs arrived in Europe alongside farmers ∼8,500 y BP. A few thousand years after the introduction of Near Eastern pigs into Europe, however, their characteristic mtDNA signature disappeared and was replaced by haplotypes associated with European wild boars. This turnover could be accounted for by substantial gene flow from local Euro-pean wild boars, although it is also possible that European wild boars were domesticated independently without any genetic contribution from the Near East. To test these hypotheses, we obtained mtDNA sequences from 2,099 modern and ancient pig samples and 63 nuclear ancient genomes from Near Eastern and European pigs. Our analyses revealed that European domestic pigs dating from 7,100 to 6,000 y BP possessed both Near Eastern and European nuclear ancestry, while later pigs possessed no more than 4% Near Eastern ancestry, indicating that gene flow from European wild boars resulted in a near-complete disappearance of Near East ancestry.

Abstract

How humans got their goatsLittle is known regarding the location and mode of the early domestication of animals such as goats for husbandry. To investigate the history of the goat, Dalyet al.sequenced mitochondrial and nuclear sequences from ancient specimens ranging from hundreds to thousands of years in age. Multiple wild populations contributed to the origin of modern goats during the Neolithic. Over time, one mitochondrial type spread and became dominant worldwide. However, at the whole-genome level, modern goat populations are a mix of goats from different sources and provide evidence for a multilocus process of domestication in the Near East. Furthermore, the patterns described support the idea of multiple dispersal routes out of the Fertile Crescent region by domesticated animals and their human counterparts.Science, this issue p.85
