Traditions west of the Euphrates at the beginning of the Late Chalcolithic. Characteristics, definitions, and supra-regional correlations
No full textThis paper discusses the relationships between the Turkish Upper Euphrates and regions located to the
southwest, near the Syro-Turkish border, during the early stages of the Late Chalcolithic period. This period
is best represented in these regions by the sites of Arslantepe and Oylum Höyük. While a detailed presentation
of the early Late Chalcolithic occupation levels of Arslantepe and Oylum Höyük is provided elsewhere
in this volume, their pottery assemblages are here compared in order to identify common characteristics,
together with interregional connections with contemporary sites located to the north, the west and the east.This paper discusses the relationships between the Turkish Upper Euphrates and regions located to the

De la Mésopotamie urukéenne à l'Egypte prédynastique : commentaire sur les articles de G. Stein et al. et de B. Helwing
No full textThe thesis held by G. Stein and his collaborators of a Urukian colony maintaining itself during about five centuries with practically no cultural intercourse with the host community is a priori of little credibility. The facts presented by B. Helwing would rather incite to consider Hacinebi as an outpost in a slow movement of Urukian cultural expansion towards regions whose resources - mining in particular - were coveted. This interpretation is not contradicted by the analyses of another contemporary movement of territorial expansion, that of Egypt towards South Palestine in the Early Bronze Age I. Illustrated by a relatively abundant archaeological documentation in both countries, the egypto-palestinian relations correspond better, a priori to the colonial definition than to the supposed relations between South Mesopotamian and Syro-Anatolian. However, Egyptian colonies stricto sensu, according to the definition of G. Stein et al., did not appear suddenly, but only after some centuries of Egyptian presence.La thèse défendue par G. Stein et ses collaborateurs d'une colonie urukéenne ayant subsisté à Hacinebi pendant environ cinq siècles en n'entretenant avec la communauté hôte pratiquement aucun échange culturel est a priori peu crédible. Les faits présentés par B. Helwing invitent plutôt à considérer Hacinebi comme un avant-poste dans un lent mouvement ď expansion culturelle urukéen opéré en direction de régions dont les ressources - en particulier minières - étaient convoitées. Cette interprétation n 'est pas contredite par l'analyse d'un autre mouvement d'expansion territoriale contemporain, celui de l'Egypte en direction de la Palestine méridionale au Bronze ancien I. Illustrées par une documentation archéologique relativement abondante attestée dans les deux pays, les relations égypto-palestiniennes correspondent mieux, a priori, à la définition coloniale que les relations supposées entre la Mésopotamie du sud et la Syro-Anatolie. Pourtant, les colonies égyptiennes stricto sensu, au sens où l'entendent G. Stein et al., ne sont pas apparues d'emblée, mais seulement après quelques siècles de présence égyptienne.De Miroschedji Pierre.

A multiproxy approach to identify occupation and mobility patterns of a pastoral community of the late fourth millennium at Arslantepe (Period VI B1).
No full textThe paper discusses pastoralism within the context of a case study at Arslantepe
(Malatya) in Eastern Turkey during Period VI B1. which dates to the end of the fourth
millennium BCE. This period saw significant changes in the settlement’s architecture
and occupation patterns following the destruction of the Uruk period’s monumental
palatial complex. The paper employs a multiproxy as well as a multiscalar approach,
integrating material culture, geoarchaeological, and bioarchaeological evidence. The
results reveal that the community in VI B1 practiced both transhumant pastoralism
reaching as far as the highlands of East and Central Anatolia and small-scale
farming. This suggests that the community had a mobile lifestyle while maintaining a
connection to the settlement
Pre-Linnaean herbaria viva of Helwing in the collections of the National Library of Poland and the University of Warsaw
No full textGeorg Andreas Helwing (1666–1748) was the author of two important early accounts on the flora of former East Prussia: “Flora qusimodogenita” and “Supplementum florae prussicae”. Along with his son-in-law Matthias Ernst Boretius, he prepared several herbaria viva. Four of these herbaria survived until WWII; however, their whereabouts since WWII have been generally unknown. In this paper, two of these herbaria are described: one preserved in the collections of the National Library of Poland and another in the herbarium of the Faculty of Biology of the University of Warsaw. Both were formerly in the possession of the Königsberg city library. These herbaria document not only Helwing’s studies on the native flora of Prussia but also his experiments with acclimation of exotic species in his garden in Stullichen (Stulichy, Poland). They are also an important source of vernacular Polish and German names of plants
Cultural Interaction at Hassek Höyük, Turkey. New Evidence from Pottery Analysis
No full textPottery analysis at Hassek Höyük revealed inconsistencies in the material record, where it is possible to identify a group of hybrid pottery combining stylistic and technological features of both the Uruk and the Syro-Anatolian Late Chalcolithic cultures. This hybrid pottery at Hassek Höyük is interpreted as the work of local craftsmen who, during a period of intensive contact with the Uruk culture, integrated some features of the Uruk pottery into their own production mode. The continuous use of chaff tempered clay shows a strong conservative tendency and argues for a local continuity of craftsmanship. Thus, the pottery production at Hassek is deeply rooted within the local cultural tradition of the Syro-Anatolian Late Chalcolithic. This is a strong argument against the interpretation of the site as being a well-planned colony erected on virgin soil by a group of foreign Uruk traders.La céramique chalcolithique de Hassek Höyük a permis de démontrer l'existence d'un groupe hybride qui allie des éléments stylistiques et technologiques de la culture d'Uruk et du Chalcolithique récent de Syro-Anatolie. Cette céramique hybride est considérée comme le produit d'artisans autochtones qui, pendant une période de contact avec la culture Uruk, auraient intégré quelques caractères de la céramique Uruk dans leur mode de production. L'emploi d'argile dégraissée avec de la paille montre une tendance très conservatrice et indique une continuité artisanale. Ainsi, la production de céramique à Hassek Höyük a ses racines dans la tradition culturelle indigène du Chalcolithique récent de Syro-Anatolie. C'est un argument fort contre l'interprétation du site comme celle d'une colonie planifiée, construite sur le sol vierge par un groupe étranger de marchands urukéens.Helwing Barbara.
