POSTER. The Painted Walls. Investigation on the EBIVA Public Building FF2 in the Southern Lower City of Ebla: First Preliminary Research
No full textThe Painted plaster fragment recently discovered in the southern limit of the famous Royal Palace G are one of the most important document related to the figurative art of Early Syrian Period and one of the most ancient documentation of painted plaster technique in the Near East Archaeology. The poster will present some preliminary documentation of this geometric polymorphic patterns and a hypothetical reconstruction of the stylistic grammars adopted to décor a room of a major important building. This building is located on the south of the so-called southern quarter of Royal Palace G, but stratigraphically and functionally unrelated so probably attest that during the second half the III millennium B.C. other structure in Ebla were designated to absolve specific activities, official and ceremonial as in the Royal Palace G but in other spaces and in a new sector of the Lower City undiscovered until 2003
Design at Ebla. The Decorative System of a Painted Wall Decoration
No full textThe archaeologists who have studied the figurative patterns of pre-classic Western Asia have very rarely focused their attention on colours and geometric systems, because of the difficulty in discovering, preserving and understanding polychrome findings of any kinds. Moreover, the very rare examples of architectural use of colours have been usually intended as ways to express the same iconographies of relief. Few attention has been paid to the technical differences between sculpture and painting and in particular to the semantic implications. An entirely plastered room located in the western side of an important building dating to the Early Bronze Age IV and probably functionally linked to the Southern Administrative Quarter of the Royal Palace G has been recently discovered at Tell Mardikh-Ebla in the southern lower city. A hypothetically reconstructed niche in the northern wall of this room (L.8729) was completely decorated by geometric painted patterns directly traced on white plaster. A number of plaster fragments is what remains of the niche. The fragments preservation state is definitely critical: the collapse of the imposing structures caused the total shattering of some parts of the plaster

White, Red and Black. Technical Relationships and Stylistic Perceptions between Colours, Lights and Places in Mesopotamia and Syria during the Third Millennium BC
No full textThe classification of the figurative and decorative models detected in the Early Bronze Age Building FF2 at Ebla, dating to the EB IVA, outlines contextual differences in the aesthetic perception and figurative translation of the human and natural phenomena, while the analysis of some recurrent motifs identifies an ideographic grammar that served as a base model for the technological division of the space. In the repertory of painted motifs one can appreciate the existence of a hidden sign list for the geometric reduction of the human behaviour, as if it was a library where original themes could be selected and repeated in the form of aesthetic systems which survived historical periods

A quantitative approach to Ur III Mesopotamian figurative languages: reflections, results, and new proposals
Full text linkThe statistical technique known as Textual Correspondence Analysis has been used here to study the late third millennium Mesopotamian figurative languages which were used to produce the so-called presentation scenes in Ur III glyptic. For this investigation the authors prepared a data set that collected the codings of a corpus of Ur III presentation scenes known from cylinder seals or ancient seal impressions on administrative documents. In this paper we first offer a summary and the discussion of the aims, strategies and first results of this investigation, then the iconography of presentation scenes is interpreted through the classification of the scenes on the basis of the analysis of the forms and of their external features. The paper concludes with a general summing-up of the results and their meaning

Wall painting techniques in Early Bronze Syria. Clues of parallelism with the traditions of the Mediterranean and Mesopotamian regions
No full textThe excavation of Building FF2 at Ebla provided new important data related to the tradition of wall paintings in Early Bronze Age Syria. This tradition still remains quite poorly known and understood, and the way to an interpretation of the relevant features, meanings and developments is thus mostly made of comparisons with findings from other regions and periods. The main difficulties are here represented by the lack of shared approaches in recording and publishing information on this kind of material witness, in particular in relation to technical and technological aspects. This contribution is based on efforts that point at collecting as many evidences as possible to outline a profile of the Early Syrian wall painting techniques. The main aim is here to find enough evidence supporting the placement of the Ebla wall painting
findings within the Early Syrian tradition and its chronological developments, as
well as in the context of the artistic and artisan cultures of the ancient Near East and
Mediterranean regions
