Mobility, monumentality and ritual in the Bronze Age of Khanuy Valley, central Mongolia Steppe cultures of the Bronze Age are of key significance for understanding the long-term processes that occurred in the vast Eurasian space. Thus, theories that seek to tie cultural geographies to styles of materials, and to argue for links between those geographies on the basis of material transposition, may be overlooking the practical way that material forms are exchanged and distributed, especially given the nature of pastoral adaptation in much of the steppe zone. From the lower unploughed horizon of the cultural layer and from the filling of revealed constructions on the settlement Shiroky Buerak 39 samples, on the Bagaevskoe settlement – 66 samples, on the Kolotov Buerak settlement – 17 samples, which were obtained by flotation, were taken for palaeobotanical investigations. polisci.spc.uchicago.edu /eurasianconference/Abstracts_05.htm   (5555 words)

wikien.info: Main_Page : K/KU/KUR The Kura-Araxes culture was a Chalcolithic culture that flourished in Caucasia and eastern Anatolia from 4000 B.C. to 2200 B.C. Their name comes from the Kura and Araxes river valleys in which they developed. Kura (Georgian Mtkvari, Azerbaijani Kür) is a river in the Caucasus Mountains.

Nagorno-Karabakh Encyclopedia, Definition, History, Biography It seems that the state of Mannae, based in the Urmia region, expanded as far as the Kura, and contested the region with Urartu beginning around 800 BC, until they were destroyed by the Medes in 616 BC. In the 7th and 8th centuries, the region was invaded by Arabs, who pillaged it and converted a portion of the population to Islam. Little is known of the ancient history of the region, primarily because of the scarcity of historical sources. localcolorartists.com /encyclopedia/Nagorno-Karabakh   (2140 words)

DERANSCHNITT This culture is intermediate between the Shulaveri-Shomu Tepe and the earliest materials of the Kura-Araxes culture and displays a certain similarity with the preceding and subsequent cultures. The remains comprising the material of the early stage of the Kura-Araxes culture, including the Didube-Kiketi and Sioni (the lori river valley)-Gremi groups, referred to the Late Eneolithic period of Central Transcaucasia, have an extremely poor metal inventory. The Dalma culture undoubtedly is contemporary with Ubaid 3 (Voigt 1992: 158, 175), and it seems that the lower levels of Kül Tepe l must be dated to the period, when the end of the Halaf culture was slightly overlapped with the Early Northern Ubaid, that means to the beginning of the fifth millennium. www.geocities.com /komblege/ansch1.htm   (11786 words)

★ Reviews of books about azerbaijan Internally, the two Azerbaijans, the Iranian one to the south of the Araxes, and the Russian, later Soviet and now independent Azerbaijan to the north of it, were put on different tracks of historical development. The author's expertise on the complicated issues of both Russian and Middle Eastern history, politics, economy, culture and languages is beyond doubt. The legacy of the 1918-1920 slaughter of Armenians by Turkish and Azerbaijani forces-especially the March 1920 destruction of Shushi, an Armenian cultural center that lost its Armenian population and character until recaptured in May 1992- was revived by pogroms in Baku and "ethnic cleansing" of Armenian population throughout the region since 1988. azerbaijan.vacationbookreview.com   (7164 words)

Bulletin of ASOR Transcausia was the heartland of the Kura-Araxes, or Early Transcaucasian culture, which holds an important place in the culture history of Anatolia. The distinctive artifacts associated with the kingdom of Urartu are normally assumed to constitute the material assemblage of a homogeneous culture. The transition is marked by a shift away from fairly autonomous village life, the appearance of evidence for enhanced social hierarchy, and the first use of tin-bronzes in Transcaucasia. www.asor.org /pubs/basor/299.html   (1492 words)

Artsakh Archaeologists have identified material remains here by the name "Kura-Araxes culture", and early medieval Aghbanian (Caucasian Albanian) and Armenian traditions speak of a son of Japheth named Aran, whose descendants settled the Araks valley. Archaeological evidence reflects the competing influence from around 800 BC of the neighboring rival states Urartu, Assyria, and Mannai; and from 616 BC to the 4th century BC, the area, as well as most of the region south of the Kura, was ruled first by the Medes, then by Persian Achaemenids. In a battle that took place in 451 AD in the Avarayr field, the forces of the Armenia, devoted to Christianity, suffered defeat at the hands of the Sassanid army. www.abitabouteverything.com /files/a/ar/artsakh.html   (929 words)

11.1 The Church in Kish Carbon Dating Reveals its True Age This same Kur-Araz culture also migrated north of the Caucasus and was found in the Guba (Kuba via the Russian language) region and also in Dagestan of Southern Russia (Kushnareva 1997:44). Also the archaeological dig at Kish revealed evidence of the Early Bronze Age culture known as the Kur-Araz culture, which originated in the Caucasus region about 3500 B.C. This culture is known to have spread both northward as well as southward across Anatolia as far as Syria, Israel and Palestine, and possibly even to Egypt. It appears that in the Early Bronze period, in the 4th and 3rd millennia B.C., the Caucasus (Trans-Caucasus via Russian) was the cradle of a culture that spread in all directions. www.azer.com /aiweb/categories/magazine/ai111_folder/111_articles/111_kish_church.html   (4830 words)

Mountains of Ararat The Republic of Armenia is situated in the southern part of the Caucasus between watersheds of middle streams of the Araks and Kura Rivers. That region, known in Assyrian records as Urartu, is, roughly, bounded on the west by the Euphrates River, on the south by the western Taurus Mountains (northern Iraq), somewhat east of Lake Urmia, and north to include the plain of the Araxes River. He added that each culture/civilization adapted the "Flood" story to suit themselves by changing the names of the people involved and which mountain the "boat" allegedly "landed on." So the "Flood" story appears to have travelled like any story might be expected to have travelled, along trade routes in the ancient world. www.creation-science.us /geocentrism/mt_ararat.html   (5775 words)
