| Abstract:
This title will be released on February 17, 2009. The Sasanians were the last of the ancient Persian dynasties, and the largest empire to espouse Zoroastrianism, before the encounter with the Arabs swept away the pre-Islamic institutions. Using new sources, Touraj Daryaee provides a portrait of the empire’s often negelcted social history, exploring the development of political and administrative institutions from foundation by Ardashir I to the last king, Yasdegerd III, and the attempts of his descendants to re-estabish a second state for almost a century after.

| Abstract:
Book review by Charles C. Kolb in American Journal of Archaeology, April 1997. Part III includes three chapters on the Central Asian Saka: written sources and history, material culture, and ethnogenetic hypotheses. Yablonsky concludes that Saka peoples (Iranian speaking nomadic cattle-breeders) were actively involved in the political and military expansion of the Achaemenid empire, the fall of the Greco-Bactrian kingdom, and the formations of Parthia and later the Kushan empire (pp. 193-95). Regional delineations of kurgan cemeteries, grave goods, and pottery are made for nine geographic regions. (Kolb) | ||

| Abstract:
See review: Friedrich Sarre, Archiv fur Orientforschung 11 (1936-1937), pages 79-80. The Kelsey Museum has the largest collection of Parthian ceramics outside Iraq. Parthian Pottery from Seleucia on the Tigris by Nelson C. Debevoise treats the nearly 1,600 Seleucian vessels that remained intact or sufficiently complete to provide a drawing shape. Debevoise records the history of Parthian ceramics in a city that was for two centuries the cultural center of Hellenistic life in "the land of the two rivers". Second only to coins as dating material, the products of the potter's wheel provide one of the best chronological scales for archaeologists. Owing to the very nature of the material, however, pottery seldom remains intact and rarely bears a date. Archaeologists must therefore depend on catalogues of comparative material, none of which existed in the field of Parthian ceramics before the University's expedition to Seleucia. To devise a satisfactory system of chronology for dating the pottery, Debevoise first reviewed the coins (see Coins from Seleucia on the Tigris, by Robert H. McDowell), some 30,000 of which were found at Seleucia, half with a definite provenance. Since these were datable and occurred with pottery at all levels, they provided a fairly accurate chronological index for the Parthian period. Debevoise also referred to McDowell's research on dated clay seals pertaining to taxes, salt, and slaves in order to obtain further points of chronological reference vis-a-vis the Parthian pottery. Once the chronology of the ceramics was established, it was possible to deduce other information. Research revealed that Seleucian pottery was made from local clay on a true potter's wheel, with a few pot covers and certain irregular shapes that were made by hand being the exception. When completed, the pot was removed with a piece of string from the wheel and was set aside to dry before firing. Some very thin ware was reworked before firing, and handles were stuck on after drying had progressed to a certain point. Kilns were probably fired with bundles of camel thorn, a bush that still grows in the region. In manufacture, great care in technique is apparent from the earliest levels excavated. Seleucia reached the peak of its prosperity under the Hellenistic Greeks and this economic wealth was reflected in careful workmanship. With the growth in political and economic importance of the Parthian city of Ctesiphon across the river, Seleucia probably suffered a slow decline, reflected in the increasing carelessness of manufacture and glazing and even in a decline in the amount of pottery in use. Similarly, changes in shape of cooking pots and storage jars are easily observable at different levels of excavation. The greater part of the pottery from Seleucia was discovered where the inhabitants left it, discarded and broken; only a small percent was taken from graves. [Kelsey] | ||

| A Spatial Analysis of Mesopotamian Buildings from the Late Bronze Age till the Parthian Period (1994) | ||
| University of California at Los Angeles: 1994, 814 p. | ||
| Abstract:
The study of Mesopotamian buildings in general and of the Late Bronze Age till the Parthian period (ca. 1600 B.C.-224 A.D.) in specific is hampered by the shortage of fully excavated and/or preserved floor plans within clear contexts. Therefore, purely architectural data were used which do not rely on texts, ceramics, seals and other objects associated with the buildings. The commonly used categorizations of these buildings were checked: period (e.g., Neo-Babylonian), type (e.g., palace) and region (e.g., Assyria). The corpus of 331 buildings which was available for analysis is large enough to be representative for the time period and geographical area (present-day Iraq and Northeast Syria). Unfortunately, due to varying levels of incompleteness of floor plan not all buildings yielded values for all variables. We performed a spatial analysis which focused on circulation and spacings. The circulation and access patterns were analyzed and quantified in two ways: real relative asymmetry and doorways per space. Moreover, the following spacings were distinguished and quantified: door width, longest side of a space and shortest side of a quadrilateral space. The spatial variables gleaned from the buildings from our corpus were then statistically analyzed. First, the distribution of the values for the separate variables was discussed. Furthermore, two kinds of cluster analyses were performed: hierarchical and partitioned. The results were mixed as far as a correspondence with the commonly used categorizations is concerned. Finally, discriminant analyses by categories (including some more cultural labels) and newly established clusters were carried out. The categories were confirmed as meaningful in the analysis, the clusters were less clearly significantly coherent. The circulation variable values helped to best distinguish the different groupings of buildings but the other variables did help to obtain better discrimination of a larger number of structures. In conclusion, the commonly used groupings based on type, region and underlying cultural strains were found in the discriminant analyses to be spatially distinctive. The attempts via cluster analyses to discover new groupings of the buildings along different lines however did not provide an outright alternative. [Author] | ||

| Abstract:
Roman historique. Musa, contrairement à Cléopâtre, dont elle est pratiquement la contemporaine, a été oubliée par l'histoire pendant vingt siècles; son existence n'est attestée que par de rares monnaies frappées à son effigie et par des auteurs classiques qui lui accordent quelques lignes. Pourtant la survenance de cette femme changea le cours des relations entre les deux super-puissances: l'empire romain d'Auguste et l'empire parthe de Phraatès IV. S'appuyant sur les textes anciens et les découvertes récentes des archéologues, ce livre est un voyage aux sources de notre civilisation. [l'Editeur] | ||
