A typological analysis of some of these kraters and jars is provided, in order to attest the presence of a local production, but related to the Mediterranean coast. Among these, jugs and juglets belonging to this class have been found in funerary contexts, together with local simple wares. As for the ceramic horizon, some specimens of Black on Red (BoR) pottery retrieved at Karkemish are taken into consideration. This analysis particularly concerns both the pottery assemblage and the coroplastic repertoire. The purpose of this poster is to highlight some cultural connections between the upper Middle Euphrates Valley and the Eastern Mediterranean, focusing in particular on Cyprus, the Levantine, and the Aegean coasts. In addition, we faced with special alluvial layers in trench 3 that are very important in order to reconstruct natural conditions contemporary or after abandonment site. The parts of mud-brick and pise structures and many local and typical trans-local potsherds and etc were been found that belonged to Iron III Age and probably Achaemenid period.
Although, trench 4 and operation 1 selected on the site surface and same aims. We selected place of trenches 1, 2 and 3 around site because the illegal excavations had terribly destructed upper layers of Qareh Teppe surface. In 2014, author excavated at Qareh Teppe along with my students and with aim of research on the Iron III and Achaemenid (upper) layers. Note, we have not knew cultural practices of these period in the Qazvin plain.
Many excavations were been performed at Qareh Teppe and other sites in the Qazvin plain so far, but cultural characters of Iron III Age and Achaemenid period were not been paid attention. Qareh Teppe of Segzabad is one of the most important sites in the Qazvin plain. The informative value of the geophysical survey varied from site to site, depending on the degree of (recent) soilmodification." The Scintrex Navmag SM-5 Cesium Magnetometer measured the vertical gradient of the magnetic field over an area of 11.25 ha with a resolution of 1.0 x 0.15 m. Geophysical surveys at sites showing Neolithic to Iron Age remains were also carried out during the 2008 campaign in Syria. We also have tested satellite-derived sites of high/low probability predicted by Jason Ur and Bjoern Menze (Menze, Ur 2007). During the 16-day-survey, more than 21,000 sherds as well as lithics and pottery slag were retrieved, and their distribution was used to create interpolated raster layers of their density.
In addition, two sites with Neolithic and Chalcolithic remains, Khirbet Bezi and Khirbet Shane, have been surveyed for surface finds. The survey covered a 133 hectare area near Wadi Abyad. Results of the 2008-2009 field seasons are reported here. "One of the aims of the Czech Prehistoric Archaeological Project, attached to the Syria-Polish Expedition at Tell Arbid in the Upper Khabur area of NE Syria, is a field survey of the surrounding area. As part of a PhD research on the expression of feelings in Egyptian literature, the purpose of the paper will be to investigate, with the support of archaeological and literary records, the role of these mourning figurines, their symbolism and their position inside tombs. Hence the symbolism behind these little figurines justifies their presence inside tombs. The reason of pursuing a perpetual wail lies in textual sources evoking the god Osiris who gained rebirth thanks to his two wailing sisters. Both types were buried next to the deceased to guarantee an everlasting mourning. Two types can be observed: the “mourning pot” type, obtained from vases adding heads, breasts and arms moulded in typical mourning attitudes, and the “human-shaped” type moulded to suggest the same grief. Recovered exemplars date back to at least the Middle Kingdom up to the Greco-Roman period. Rare terracotta figurines found inside tombs seem to confirm the will to keep up this practice, in addition to the well-known painted or relief evidence. Mourning and weeping were an essential part of the ancient Egyptian ritual of rebirth, due to their mythical background.
