Abstract

Long spouted vessels have a long tradition on the Iranian Plateau that spans the millennia. Well known from the Iron Age in northern Iran their context outside of this regional time frame, to date, has been understudied. This paper is part of a multi-stage research project, which aims to understand their evolution and possible ritual function both inside and outside of Iran. In this paper I present the initial data collection and findings of this research. Using previously published excavation reports, I trace these vessel’s location, material composition, and grave context. From these data I find that the long-spouted morphology has been present on the Iranian plateau since the 4th millennium BCE, and were present in Iran, Mesopotamia, and Central Asia during the 3rd and 2nd millennium BCE.  I also examine their possible ritual function by looking at their representation in figural art. These data will be used in further research where I will investigate if these vessels represent a continuation of shared ritual between these regional centers.

Abstract

The Lateglacial (14,700–11,700 cal BP) is a key climate period marked by rapid but contrasted changes in the Northern Hemisphere. Indeed, regional climate differences have been evidenced during the Lateglacial in Europe and the Northern Mediterranean areas. However, past climate patterns are still debated since temperature and precipitation changes are poorly investigated towards the lower European latitudes. Lake Matese in Southern Italy is a key site in the Central Mediterranean to investigate climate patterns during the Lateglacial. This study uses a multi-proxy approach including magnetic susceptibility, geochemistry (XRF core scanning), pollen data and molecular biomarkers like branched Glycerol Dialkyl Glycerol Tetraethers (brGDGTs) to reconstruct climate changes and their impacts at Matese. Palaeotemperatures and -precipitation patterns are quantitatively inferred from pollen assemblages (multi-method approach: Modern Analogue Technique, Weighted Averaging Partial Least Squares regression, Random Forest, and Boosted Regression Trees) and brGDGTs calibrations. The results are compared to a latitudinal selection of regional climate reconstructions in Italy to better understand climate processes in Europe and in the circum-Mediterranean region. A warm Bølling–Allerød and a marked cold Younger Dryas are revealed in all climate reconstructions inferred from various proxies (chironomids, ostracods, speleothems, pollen, brGDGTs), showing no latitudinal differences in terms of temperatures across Italy. During the Bølling–Allerød, no significant changes in terms of precipitation are recorded, however, a contrasted pattern is visible during the Younger Dryas. Slightly wet conditions are recorded south of latitude 42° N whereas dry conditions are recorded north of latitude 42° N. During the Younger Dryas, cold conditions can be attributed to the southward position of North Atlantic sea-ice and of the Polar Frontal JetStream whereas the increase of precipitation is Southern Italy seems to be linked to relocation of Atlantic storm tracks into the Mediterranean, induced by the Fennoscandian ice sheet and the North European Plain. On the contrary, during the Bølling–Allerød warm conditions can be linked to the northward position of North Atlantic sea-ice and of the Polar Frontal JetStream. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In this dissertation, I take a transdisciplinary approach to human and environmental interactions in the steppes of the southern Caucasus. Framed in terms of historical ecology, disturbance, and resilience theory, this research investigates the reorganization of ecological and social communities after disturbance events. These disturbance events include the fire regime, agriculture, pastoralism, and climate change. Chronologically, this dissertation spans the Bronze and Iron Ages, when multiple agro-pastoral societies inhabited this mountainous landscape with distinct social and political histories. I integrate theories and methods from archaeology, paleoecology, ecology, and statistics to examine resilience. I use pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs, and macro- charcoal of two sediment cores extracted from wetlands in the Kasakh Valley, Armenia, as my primary analytical methods. Through the lens of these cores, I provide a vegetation and fire history of the Kasakh Valley. I also compiled published oxygen isotope records from regional lakes and speleothems archives to create a regional climate history and discuss human adaptation to climate change. To discuss agriculture and pastoralism's role in disturbance and resilience, I combine results from these cores with previously published archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological studies. My research finds that agro-pastoralism, landscape fire, and climate have driven multiple shifts in these steppe ecosystems. Since the Early Holocene, climate and fire have driven and maintained this steppe grassland. Agricultural and pastoral land use, however, have also caused ecological reorganization of the steppe vegetation land cover into a landscape of agricultural weeds. Pastoralism and climate also shaped this vegetation enough to halt the fire regime. These human-driven disturbance events were also socially and politically mediated by each community that used the Kasakh Valley. I also show how climate events during the Early Bronze Age Kura-Araxes horizon and Urartian Empire drove human communities to reorganize and adopt agriculture adaptation strategies like crop choice to strengthen resilience. I find that multiple human and non-human actors, combined with Earth System and ecological processes, shaped the steppe landscape seen today.
