| Abstract:
Few of the major peoples of the ancient Near East have been as little studied as the Elamites, a disparate collection of people living in what is today southwestern Iran, and yet few had such an impact on the course of history from c. 2600 BC to the first centuries AD. As the first synthesis of Elamite archaeology to appear in English in over fifteen years, this volume will serve as a major resource for all scholars, students and laymen interested in the ancient Near East. [Amazon] Chapter 10, 'Elymais', concerns Parthia's role vis-a-vis Elymais / Susiana. Chapter 10 has a very interesting synthesis, especially for the Hellenistic period. His chronology of kings is unfortunately very old (based upon Hill and de Morgan) and follows for the "Orodes" dynasty the arguable work of R. Vardanian. | ||

| Abstract: This elegant publication presents the major results of 40 years of archaeological research in a series of papers by leaders in their respective fields. In so doing it provides a fascinating insight into the diverse, but little-known, history and heritage of the region. From the first signs of human occupation, in the Late Stone Age, to the copper-mining industry of the Bronze Age and its international trade links, to the short-lived existence of Christian communities before Islam, and then into the Islamic period with its far-flung commerce, the archaeologcial evidence of the UAE's place in the history of the region is clearly documented | ||

| Decline and Fall of the Sasanian Empire: The Sasanian-Parthian Confederacy and the Arab Conquest of Iran (2008) | ||
| London: I.B. Tauris, 2008 | ||
| Abstract: Decline and Fall of the Sasanian Empire has already been praised as one of the most intellectually exciting books about ancient Persia to have been published for years. It proposes a convincing contemporary answer answer to an ages-old mystery and conundrum: why, in the seventh century CE, did the seemingly powerful and secure Sasanian empire of Persia succumb so quickly and disastrously to the all-conquering Arab armies of Islam? Offering an impressive appraisal of the Sasanians' nemesis at the hands of the Arab forces which scythed all before them, the author suggests a bold solution to the enigma. On the face of it, the collapse of the Sasanians--given their strength and imperial power in the earlier part of the century--looks startling and inexplicable. But Professor Pourshariati explains their fall in terms of an earlier corrosion and decline, and as a result of their own internal weaknesses. The decentralized dynastic system of the Sasanian empire, whose backbone was a Sasanian-Parthian alliance, contained the seeds of its own destruction. This confederacy soon became unstable, and its degeneration sealed the fate of a doomed dynasty. [Publisher] | ||

| Abstract: The authors' reconstruction of the political history of western Bactria as well as the dating of the famous gold objects from Tillia-tepe is supported by coin finds from burials at the site at Shihbarghan, northern Afghanistan. Among the five coins recovered are two Parthian silver coins dating to the reign of Mithridates II (123-88 B.C.) and that of Phraates IV (38-2 B.C.), the latter found in the mouth of the deceased. A gold coin found in the hand of the same corpse is a local imitation of first-century B.C. Parthian coins, a Tiberius (A.D. 16-29) aureus , and an Indian coin probably also of the first century A.D. complete the coin inventory. | ||

| Abstract: La ville de Shushtar occupe une situation privilégiée sur le Karoun, le plus grand fleuve d'Iran, à sa sortie des Monts Zagros. En amont de la ville moderne, le Karoun se divise en deux branches, le Shoteyteh et le Gargar, qui se rejoignent 40 km en aval. L'île ainsi formée est appelée Miyan-Ab (l'entre rivières). Elle est formée d'alluvions très fertiles mais difficiles à exploiter par simple dérivation des eaux des deux bras, car le niveau des terres se trouve beaucoup plus haut que le lit des deux rivières. | ||

| Abstract:
English summary, pp. 181-188. Site emblématique de la période séleucide en Iran, Khorheh, au sud-ouest de Qom, qui dresse encore deux colonnes à chapiteau ionique fut l’un des premiers sites archéologiques photographié par des Iraniens au 19e s. Herzfeld voulut y voir un temple à Dionysos d’époque séleucide, hypothèse longtemps acceptée, mais mise en doute par P. Bernard qui le reconnaissait comme d’époque parthe. Une première campagne de fouilles par A. Hakemi en 1956, publiée seulement en 1990, rectifia des détails d’architecture ; le fouilleur y reconnut non pas un temple mais une riche demeure. D’un auteur à l’autre (Herzfeld, Hakemi, Kleiss), on comparera les plans reconstitués. L’A. y conduit de nouvelles recherches depuis 1996 et livre un rapport sur la première saison seulement. Celle-ci permet déjà de rectifier le plan : le portique possède une, et non pas deux, rangée de colonnes (le plan fig. 15 est cependant faux, à remplacer par celui de la fig. 19 ou 20), lesquelles dérivent du modèle ionique, mais en le transformant. Le plan intérieur est également rectifié (comparer fig. 13 et 20 p. 116). M.R. date définitivement le bâtiment de l’époque parthe, par la céramique la plus ancienne ; il fut utilisé à l’époque sassanide avec de légères modifications, avant que le site ne soit transformé en cimetière vers le 15e s. de l’ère chrétienne.

| "The discovery of a Tower of Silence of the Sasanian period at Bandiyan: some observations on dakhma burials in the Zoroastrian doctrine" (2004) | ||
| In: Symposium: After Alexander: Central Asia Before Islam. Themes in the history and Archaeology of Western Central Asia The British Academy, London, 23-25 June 2004 | ||
| 2004 | ||
| Abstract:
Bandiyan, Dargaz, in the north of Khorasan, is one of the most important Sasanian period sites discovered in recent years. There are three small tepes, each with a height of not more than 4-5 m. situated within a short distances of each other. Last year we worked on the middle site and found an elaborate fire temple with beautiful stucco decoration in the (reception) hall. On the basis of a Middle Persian inscription found there, this fire temple belonged to a 'dastgird'. Site B, situated about 30 m. to the south-west of the fire temple, has been excavated since 2002. Here a circular tower was discovered with a diameter of 20 m. and a height of 3 m. built of chineh. On top of the tower there were further constructions. In the centre of the tower, there is a circular space with a diameter of 5.40m, the remaining space beyond is divided into three parts. Around one of these spaces were lime plaster benches, 10-15 cm. high and 50 cm. wide. The floor of this area was also made of lime plaster. A cistern about 80 cm. deep was dug in the centre of this space. There were three 'water' channels 1-2 m. in length sloping slightly towards the cistern. The body of the cistern and the water channels were covered with lime plaster. The fact that the water flow was restricted, an obstruction on one side, and the thin lime plaster on the inside of the well all rule out the suggestion that the cistern was used for collecting rain water. Although no bones and similar objects were found here, it had a religious significance rather than an everyday purpose. We shall consider the later period Zoroastrian Towers of Silence in Yazd and Kerman, as well as burial types of the Parthian and Sasanian periods and compare them with the Tower of Silence at Bandiyan, which reflects a stage in the development of such architecture. We regard this tower as being contemporary with a Sasanian period building on top of the ruins of the fire temple. [Author] | ||
