Title: Settlements, population and landscape on the Upper Euphrates between V and II millennium BC. Results of the Archaeological Survey Project 2003-2005 in the Malatya Plain Authors: Di Nocera, Gian Maria Abstract: The archaeological survey of the territory of Malatya (eastern Anatolia), is carried out by the Department of Historical, Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences of the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. Aim is that of identifying, from an archaeological point of view, the changes in the life style and in the social and economic relations in the region, in a period going from the V to the II millennium BC, in connection with the complex events and radical changes that are documented by the excavation of the site of Arslantepe, the land mark of the region. The results obtained until today have evidenced different typologies of site occupation in the Malatya territory. Our intention was to identify the relationship between stability and mobility in terms of the settlement models through the different ways of exploiting the local resources.

Title: The Middle Bronze Age at Zeytinli Bahçe Höyük - Birecik (Urfa-Turkey): the fortified structure Authors: Di Nocera, Gian Maria Abstract: The mound of Zeytinli Bahçe is 2 km south of the town of Birecik, on the left bank of the river Euphrates, in the Şanliurfa province, South-Eastern Turkey. The investigations of the Italian team have documented a long occupation starting with the Late Chalcolithic period (4th millennium BC) and ending in medieval times. The long sequence at the site brings light to many chronological and cultural characters of the region and thus contributes greatly to the knowledge of the history of this western region of Upper Mesopotamia in the moments of formation and development of the first urban societies. It is, above all, with the Middle Bronze, at the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC, that we assist at a radical change at Zeytinli Bahçe, testifi ed by the presence of a monumental structure on the highest point of the mound.

Title: Il cambiamento del sistema insediativo come testimonianza di trasformazione socioeconomica: il caso delle comunità preistoriche dell'alto Eufrate tra V ed inizio II millennio a.C. Authors: Di Nocera, Gian Maria Abstract: A variety of different factors determine a population's lifestyle in a given territory in terms of mobility versus stability. The first is its type of social organisation, and its economic relations with its environment, through the different ways of exploiting the local resources. These same relations are also created in ideological terms, through the linkage that is established between the community and the environment in which it lives and develops. The community dimensions of the sense of belonging to a given territory, and the borders within which a regional awareness and identity is acknowledged, change in time as the social system and production methods change, and not least in terms of the type and degree of interaction between the community and other communities. Our intention is to identify in archaeological terms this relationship between stability and mobility in terms of the settlement models. But to do this, a region has to be studied and there must be a clear idea of the sequencing of a process which occurs in time and which clearly evidences a change in the systems of social and economic life, whose modes of occupation in the territory is the effect of these changes. In archaeological terms, the Malatya Plain (Upper Euphrates, Turkey) is an ideal area for this type of research. The survey of the territory of Malatya, is carried out by the Department of Historical, Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences of the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. Aim is that of identifying, from an archaeological point of view, the changes in the life style and in the social and economic relations in the region, in a period going from the V to the II millennium BC, in connection with the complex events and radical changes that are documented by the excavation of the site of Arslantepe, the land mark of the region.

Title: Metals and Metallurgy. Their Place in the Arslantepe Society between the end of the 4th and Beginning 3rd Millennium BC. Authors: Di Nocera, Gian Maria Abstract: L'articolo ha per obiettivo quello di definire il ruolo avuto dalla metallurgia nel sito archeologico di Arslantepe (Turchia orientale) tra la fine del IV e l'inizio del III millennio a.C. In questo periodo il sito mostra una imponente organizzazione palatina costituita da un'architettura complessa con templi e magazzini. Al collasso di tale sistema segue un nuovo tipo di potere testimoniato da una ricca tomba principesca. Il metallo in questi contesti assume un importante ruolo simbolico

Title: Doğu Anadolu Madenciliği Authors: Di Nocera, Gian Maria; Palmieri, Alberto Maria Abstract: L'articolo, in lingua turca (titolo: L'antica metallurgia in Anatolia orientale), affronta il tema della metallurgia in un territorio compreso tra l'alto Eufrate e l'area orientale della Turchia. Ad un primo inquadramento sulle antiche fonti di approvvigionamento della materia prima, segue una breve illustrazione sull’uso delle tecnologie fusorie e delle alligazioni. Il contributo riguarda un momento cruciale della preistoria del vicino oriente, cioè quel periodo di grande trasformazione socio-economica compresa tra il IV e il III millennio a.C.

Title: L’interazione tra due universi socio-culturali nella piana di Malatya (Turchia) tra IV e III millennio: dati archeologici e riconoscimento di identità Authors: Di Nocera, Gian Maria; Frangipane, Marcella; Palumbi, Giulio Abstract: SUMMARY The continuous enlargement of the excavations at Arslantepe, in the Malatya province of Eastern Turkey, together with the beginning of systematic surveys in the region and new studies on the modes of occupation of the first centuries on the III millennium BC, give us the unique opportunity to reconsider the occupation proper of Arslantepe and the organisation of the surrounding territory. Around 3000 BC we assist to a general social and political crisis in the site and in the Malatya plain, started with the collapse of the proto-state system of Mesopotamian influence and the establishment, at the beginning of the III millennium, of a different economic and political organisation of the territory, with a much stronger mobile character than in the past. The society of the second half of the IV millennium BC was based on an essentially rural population, sparsely distributed in the plain, which all converged to the central site of Arslantepe and was probably involved in a complex mechanism of local exchange, managed and regulated by the Arslantepe palace. On top of the ruins of the palace, settle, at the beginning of Early Bronze Age I, groups with very distinct architectural traditions, life modes and material culture. The ceramic material consisted mainly of hand made burnished vessels, with the characteristic bi-chrome red-black surfaces, which presents clear technological and stylistic analogies with the red-black productions of the palatial period, but new shapes. These ceramics are the expression of an extremely unitary style and taste, which strongly recalls similar Transcaucasian productions of the Kura-Araks type, and most of all those from Georgia and North-Eastern Anatolia, thus indicating an evident cultural interaction with those communities, or maybe even the physical presence of those groups in the Upper Euphrates valley and in the Malatya plain at the beginning of the III millennium BC. Next to this though, the ceramic production also evidences a continuity of traditions already consolidated in the region and a material culture of the first centuries of the III millennium with a strong local character. The Kura-Araks model which makes its appearance in the Malatya plain, could thus be one derived by the pastoral groups, who locally re-elaborated and modified it.
