Authors:poj@peeters-leuven.be Abstract: In 2017, an archaeological survey was conducted in the south of Lurist'n province in western Iran, where the remains of a previously undocumented cobblestone road were discovered. Preliminary surveys revealed that the cobblestone road was part of an ancient communication road that connected Susiana to western Iran. The purpose of this article is to introduce this cobblestone road and demonstrate the importance and necessity of road construction in such a mountainous region. The date of its construction is argued by investigating the archaeological evidence and reports from historical texts. Architectural evidence and ceramics scattered on the surface of small structures along the cobblestone road and surveying the landscape of the area indicate that this cobblestone road was constructed during the Sassanid era and was also used in the early Islamic centuries.

Authors:poj@peeters-leuven.be Abstract: This paper gathers information on a period of region-wide settlement abandonments in the 3rd-6th centuries CE in Khorezm. Soviet archaeologists characterized this period as a dark age, and sought explanations for culture change based largely in processes of migration. More recent evidence from environmental studies of the Aral Sea littoral suggests that changes in the local ecology and climate may have played a substantial role. The existing evidence is reviewed, and a case is made for further attention to the diversity and heterogeneity of cultural responses to environmental change within the Khorezmian deltas.

Authors:poj@peeters-leuven.be Abstract: At the end of 4th millennium BCE, small clay tablets include economic records used for some centuries and played a significant role in administrative control. Sometimes these tablets also bear impressions of seals which comprise the most extensive dataset of imagery from this period. The importance of sealing is clear from its function and pictorial information, but on the economic tablets it has new significance allowing us to identify possible specific specializations and the responsible institutions for the economic document. In this study I focus on four unpublished sealings on four different Proto-Elamite clay tablets which are kept in the National Museum of Iran. At first, a description will be presented for each sample, which in turn will be used to group them according to both the content of the image and the text. Finally, I will use this sorting to propose a possible relation between each specialized administration unit and some scenes which they used for their seals. PubDate: Tue, 29 Mar 2022 14:00:12 +000
