Abstract: First results of the botanical and faunal remains analysis from Iron Age contexts at Ulug-depe in Turkmenistanreveal subsistence economies that primarily focused on cultivating and herding, with the presence of commonplant and animal species for this period such as wheat, barley, sheep, goat and cattle. However, a large diversity ofwild resources, in particular game, indicates that collecting and hunting also played an important role at the site. Thepresence of these wild species in the bioarchaeological record clearly shows that people from Ulug-depe had access toa variety of very different biotopes – foothill zones, riverine environments and steppe-desert. The specific context of theMiddle Iron Age citadel accounts for some unexpected discoveries such as large quantities of juniper among the woodelements used for roofing and a ritual deposit involving wild animals.

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 The contributions are based on previously unpublished data and ongoing fieldwork, treating key aspects of the covered period, like chronology, the development of settlements and architecture, and the distribution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. |
