Between the Tigris and the Zagros Piedmont. A Material-Cultural Perspective from Logardan in the Early Bronze Age
Résumé
The historical and archaeological dynamics characterizing the Early Bronze Age (EBA) in the region east of the Tigris are so far unevenly documented. In the western part of the Qara Dagh area, the site of Logardan, excavated since 2015, offers new data on the socio-cultural, economic and political framework of northern Mesopotamia during the Third millennium BC. The first EBA occupation at the site has yielded a significant pottery assemblage apparently not connected with the widespread Ninevite 5 and Scarlet Ware ceramic traditions. On the other hand, a sequence covering the last centuries of Third millennium BC provides strong evidence of the full inclusion of Logardan into the historical and cultural dynamics of EBA Mesopotamia. This paper aims at investigating the Early Bronze Age contexts at Logardan from a material perspective in order to bring out the complex reality of the interactions among Mesopotamian communities during this period.
