The present volume edited by Johanna Lhuillier gathers contributions presented during the workshop “Archaeology of Central Asia during the 1st millennium BC” at the 10th ICAANE in Vienna in 2016. Designed to treat both the Iron Age and the Hellenistic period, it aims to embrace the diversity of current archaeological work led on the 1st millennium BC in Central Asia. The contributions are based on previously unpublished data and ongoing fieldwork, treating key aspects of the covered period, like chronology, the development of settlements and architecture, and the distribution and evolution of material culture. The volume casts new light on this challenging period by characterizing its cultural, socio-economical, and political transformations and focusing on broader interactions with neighbouring cultures.

Der von Johanna Lhuillier herausgegebene Band versammelt Beiträge zur Eisenzeit und zum Hellenismus in Zentralasien, die während des Workshops "Archaeology of Central Asia during the 1st millenium BC" im Rahmen der 10. ICAANE im April 2016 in Wien präsentiert wurden. Basierend auf bisher unveröffentlichten Daten zur laufenden Feldforschung und Forschungsprojekten werden Schlüsselaspekte wie Chronologie, Entwicklung von Architektur und Siedlungen sowie Verteilung und Entwicklung materieller Kultur behandelt, wobei versucht wurde, die große Bandbreite laufender archäologischer Arbeiten zum 1. Jahrtausend v. Chr. in Zentralasien abzudecken. Der vorliegende Band wirft neues Licht auf diese herausfordernde Zeit, wobei der Fokus auf kulturellen, sozioökonomischen und politischen Umbrüchen sowie den zunehmenden Interaktionen mit benachbarten Kulturen liegt.

PDF Icon  Ancient Bactra: New Data on the Iron Age Occupation of the Bactra Oasis ()
S.  33 - 48

Abstract:
The French Archaeological Delegation in Afghanistan (DAFA) has been carrying out research in the BactraOasis since 2005 (first, under the direction of R. Besenval and then, under the following directors of the DAFA), sheddingnew light on the chronology of the area. This paper focuses on the data related to the Iron Age by cross-comparingstratigraphic data and the study of the pottery. Indeed, a thorough examination of the pottery excavated in different partsof the ancient city of Bactra itself indicates an occupation earlier than previously assumed and gives some initial indicationsabout the development of the city. The Bala Hissar seems to have been settled first, during the Early Iron Age(Yaz I period), with a continuous occupation during the pre-Achaemenid period (Yaz II period). The Tepe Zargaran andthe Northern Fortification Wall (Rempart Nord) seem to have been occupied from the Achaemenid period (Yaz III period)onwards, which indicates a large extension of the city at this time or the dislocation of the occupied areas, even thoughthe data related to this period is scarce. South of Bactra, another site, Cheshme-Shafa, was likely founded during thisperiod, suggesting a link between the extension of the settled area and the development of military architecture duringthe Achaemenid period. These initial results help with a further understanding of the settlement pattern in the BactraOasis prior to and during the period of Achaemenid occupation in Central Asia.
