The Palace before the Palace. The EB III-IVA1 Sequence on the Acropolis of Tell Mardikh/Ebla: Stratigraphy and Architecture
No full textBefore the royal palace G. The stratigraphic and pottery sequence of the West unit of the central complex: the building G5
No full textThe acknowledgement of the outstanding role of the city of Ebla during the EB IVA period (ca. 2450- 2300 BC) is grounded on the exceptional retrieval of the Royal Palace G complex and its State Archive. The period directly preceding the brilliant urban development of Ebla has been investigated two decades ago, through the excavation of two large-scale structures immediately preceding the construction of Royal Palace G: Building G2, dating from EB 111, and Building G5, assigned to EB IVA1, both lying on the acropolis, directly underneath the Royal Palace G (EB IVA2). A careful analysis of the stratigraphic sequence and the seriation of stratified ceramic materials retrieved in Building G5 at Ebla allow to propose a relative sequence for EB IVA1, addressing the not well-known formative phases of Tell Mardikh/Ebla in the framework of the Early Bronze Age
The Northern and the Southern Levant during the Late Early Bronze Age: a Reappraisal of the "Syrian Connection"
No full textDuring the second half of the J'd millennium BC the whole Levant was involved in deep historical and cultural transformations. Yet, Syria and Palestine underwent different historical trajectories, and gave different responses to changes, achieving different socio-economic and political systems during this time-span. In north-western Syria, in fact, the floruit of the EB IVA period was followed by a crisis of the local political system, after the Akkadian military campaigns, then succeeded by a period of reorganisation rather than proper collapse, and by cultural continuity rather than break, despite some changes and innovations. On the other hand, during the Early Bronze IV period the Southern Levant witnessed deeper changes in the socio-political and socio-economic organisation, the settlement pattern, and the material culture. In fact, the region reverted to village life, and developed a markedly regionalised cultural horizon. A general "Syrian connection" has always been recognised in the Southern Levant within those centuries, when material culture shows both cultural autonomy and as complex as important phenomena of interaction with and emulation of the northern neighbours. The article seeks to investigate connections and interactions between the two areas at the end of the Early Bronze Age, analysing specific markers within the material culture, aiming at a possible definition of the nature of these relations in a socio-economic and cultural perspective
New Data on the EB III of Northern Inner Syria in the light of Old and Recent Excavations at Tell Mardikh/Ebla and Tell Tuqan (Syria)
No full textIn this paper I will focus on the analysis and definition of the EB III–IVA1 stratigraphic and architectural sequences at Tell Mardikh/Ebla and Tell Tuqan, investigated during old and recent excavations. A study of stratified pottery materials is presented, providing a useful relative chronology for the definition of early 3rd millennium BC phases in North-Western Syria
