INTRODUCTION This monograph deals with research on a small center of the fourth millennium B.C. in southwest Iran. In this initial chapter, the reasoning behind the research design, the standards used in fieldwork and analysis, and the organization of the rest of the monograph are presented. In 1967, I completed a study of the agricultural economy of the town of U r during the first part of the Early Dynastic Period. I felt that the understanding of the development of states and urban societies could best be improved by considering factors other than agriculture, such as interregional trade, intercity warfare and diplomacy, and central political organization (Wright 1969a: 122). The problem, therefore, was to choose which of these factors could best be approached with a small project using the methods at that time available. I considered and rejected the idea of a project using site survey methods to study a textually documented war of the Early Dynastic Period. The most reasonable plan seemed to be a study of the relations between interregional trade, competition, and the rise of town-centered settlement patterns. Data could be obtained from excavations in a town on a transport route between highlands and lowlands. Kent Flannery and Frank Hole encouraged me to consider the Deh Luran Plain in southwestern Iran. This plain presented three immediate advantages. First, it was located between the highlands and the lowlands in a reasonable place for a trade route (Fig. 1). Second, it was a small, welldefined environmental unit within which one could hope to control the multiple factors affecting trade and competition. This would have been difficult to do on a larger, more open unit such as the central Khuzistan Plains around Susa. Third, the work of Hole, Flannery, Neely, and Helbaek on the earlier settlements of the Deh Luran Plain (1969) provided useful data on chronology, environment, population, and subsistence not available for other areas. One site, called Tepe Farukhabad or Fakhrabad, had first been noted by Gautier and Lampre of the French Mission in 1903 (1905:83). Here, Hole and Flannery found painted sherds of the Susiana tradition of the fifth millen-

nium B.C. as well as beveled rim bowls of the succeeding fourth millennium. The latter appeared to be assocciated with massive building foundations of mud brick. Farukhabad seemed an ideal site for the study of trade, competition, and town development.

RESEARCH DESIGN Consideration of the logically possible relations between trade, competition, and town growth in the light of what was known about Mesopotamia in general, and of the research opportunities present in Deh Luran, resulted in the working model presented in Figure 2. There was evidence of increasing population and decreasing land quality from the previous work on the plain (Hole et al., op. cit. :369-371). In my research proposal, I argued that the testing of specific hypotheses drawn from this model would elucidate the relations between land productivity, agricultural techniques, the collection, transformation, and distribution of materials and products, the administration of such activities, and competition between centers of such activities. I hoped to find archaeological indicators of the activities of interest in the form of subsistence remains and canal patterns, the remains of workshops and storehouses, and weapons and the remains of fortifications. The specific hypotheses to be tested were the following: 1) That competition over agricultural land, perhaps dictated by increasing population and decreasing land quality, required fortified towns and specialists in military organization; and 2) That increased participation in interregional exchange, whose growth was perhaps dictated by the increasing total population of greater Mesopotamia, required specialists in economic administration, both to organize local export production and to redistribute imports. Even if one or both of these hypotheses were rejected, I still hoped to clarify the relations among the various activities. Examination of both air and ground photographs of Tepe Farukhabad indicated that the site

INTRODUCTION had a small high central area with a surrounding lower flank. The mound had been cut deeply by the Mehmeh River. Previous descriptions seemed to indicate that the high central area was an earlier village mound, upon which had been placed the public buildings of the developing town, while the lower area was the housing of the later town. Assuming this to be the case, I composed the following field plan. At least two main excavations would be opened. One would be in the center of the river-cut face in order to provide a sequence of public buildings and associated debris. The other would be near the edge of the lower flank in order to transect any fortification walls and reveal a series of domestic buildings and associated debris. Changes in the relative quantities of traded materials would provide a measure of interregional trade, and their associations with the different kinds of architecture in the two excavations would provide an indication of the organization of this trade. From the excavations we would also derive a sequence of floral and faunal remains enabling us to assess changes in subsistence techniques, land quality, and availability of transport animals. If time permitted, two more stratigraphic excavations would be undertaken in order to expand the sample of excavated units. Finally, examination of nearby canal traces would produce associated ceramics and allow dating of the canals. This plan was submitted to the National Science Foundation in September 1967 and was supported as N.S.F. Grant GS-138. I am deeply indebted to Dr. Richard Lieban and Mrs. Mary Green of the Foundation's Anthropology program for their help. Before detailing the history of the excavations and the subsequent analysis, a brief preview of the revised research design, the one actually embodied in this monograph, would be helpful. There were several reasons for the revisions. First, little of the recovered data was useful in the consideration of conflict. As far as is known, massive town walls were rarely built before the third millennium B.C., and such modest walls and block houses as are known earlier would probably have been destroyed by erosion of the perimeter of such a steep mound as Farukhabad. Unequivocal weapons were virtually absent. Evidence of the violent destruction of buildings was not found. This leaves the evidence of settlement pattern in which the effects of conflict can be monitored only if other factors such as

subsistence and exchange are correctly isolated and controlled. Second, far more could be learned about exchange than I ever would have thought possible. Relative increases in the quantities of imported materials did occur as predicted. However, since the Deh Luran Plain was not merely a way station, but produced a variety of useful resources of its own, the data on exports and imports proved more flexible than expected. For instance, there are in some cases-most outstandingly cherts-local low-quality resources which can be used as substitutes for imported finer materials. Estimates of the values of imported materials relative. to local substitutes can be made with minimal assumptions, independent of variations due to the changing uses of tools made from the material. In another case, waste products from the local preparation of bitumen for export could be measured independently of finished objects so that export could be indirectly measured. With data such as these it was possible to redefine the independent variable, relative goods flow through a point in an exchange network, into separate import and export components. Third, a redefinition of the dependent variable was needed. My ultimate interest was in the development of societies with specialized administrative and political institutions, the classical problem of the origin of the state. Initially, the growth of towns was viewed as a component in this process and therefore as a kind of indicator variable. However, excavations at Farukhabad and elsewhere (Wright and Johnson 1975) produced direct evidence of the activities of administrators. Therefore it was possible to take the more satisfactory course of examining administrative development and town growth as two separate variables. I thus had three working propositions. One dealt with the mechanics of exchange, two dealt with the relation between exchange and other developments: 1) Increased participation in exchange networks begins with a local reorganization of production and an increase in export, rather than an initial increase in imports. 2) Increased production and export leads to increased administrative specialization and state formation. 3)Increased participation in systems of export and import leads to the growth of central towns. Most of the analytical effort, however, was not directed toward the testing of such propositions. As usual, most of the effort was spent in con-

trolling other variables, so that testing could be attempted. It was first necessary to build a local chronology so that contemporary excavation units and settlements could be correlated. After this, a tremendous amount of time was spent trying to describe and explain variation in material debris resulting from the performance of different activities within the community. Only when a beginning was made toward understanding such variation was it possible to consider the mechanics of exchange.

THE EXCAVATIONS AT FARUKHABAD The excavation team began to arrive in Tehran early in February, 1968. We spent several weeks completing arrangements for an excavation permit. I am indebted to Prof. Ezatollah N egahban of Tehran University and Mr. David Stronach, Director of the British Institute of Persian Studies, for their advice on this matter. Through the kind offices of His Excellency Mr. M. Pahlbod, then Minister of Culture, and Mr. A. Pourmand, then Director of the Iran Archaeological Service, an excavation permit was granted. The detailed negotiations were handled by Mr. M. Khorramabadi, then Director of Excavations. Through the kindness of Prof. Robert McC. Adams we were able to borrow and repair a Landrover belonging to the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute. With the help of Dr. Robert Liimatainen, then Science Attache at the United States Embassy, we borrowed a surveyor's transit for mapping the site and excavations. By late February the arrangements were complete and the team left for southwestern Iran. Dr. Robert Bettarel was Assistant Director and an excavation supervisor, Mr. Robert Gibbs was an excavation supervisor, and Mrs. Fran Wright was laboratory supervisor. Mr. Manouchehr Imani was the representative of the Archaeological Service. Mr. Nicholas Vester visited during the project and helped with the mapping and excavation. On March 2, 1968 a field camp was set up in the community of Deh Luran. Thirty local workmen were hired. A tent was rented as an equipment depot and shelter for the workers. Tepe Farukhabad is a high mound of whitish color visible from throughout the central and northwestern Deh Luran Plain (32°35'N, 47'14'E,

Pl. 2). The entire site is 190 m from northwest to southeast, and 140m from northeast to southwest. The high central portion, excluding the iower terrace, is now 150m from northwest to southeast, and 70 m from northeast to southwest. This central portion rises 30 m above the level of the present deeply incised Mehmeh floodplain, 25 m above the ancient flood plain, and only 20 m above sterile soil as determined by examihation of the river-cut face (Fig. 3; Pl. 2). The only nearby habitations are a few semi-permanent tents to the north. At sunset, quiet except for the call of the jackal and the laughter of hyaenas, the site is impressive in its desolation. The entrenched flood plain of the Mehmeh River covers areas west and south of the mound. In the past, river meanders have cut into the mound, eliminating perhaps 60 percent of its bulk. The original central mound was probably 200 m in diameter. Surface indications show that it grew more or less as I had suspected, but not at the period which I had expected. An initial sounding on the flanking terrace at the foot of what became Excavation C revealed several meters of ParthoSasanian debris. While it is possible that earlier architecture underlies this terrace, there is no evidence of such in the eroded areas around its edge. I decided to concentrate on the remnant of the high central mound, the one remaining ha of the three ha early settlement. A permanent datum was provided by a concrete marker under a cairn emplaced years before by the oil company. The elevation of the marker was taken to be 162.8 m above sea level on the basis of a map prepared by the company. Since this map gave the elevation only to the nearest foot, this is an approximate metric equivalency. The excavation units were laid out after an examination of the surface configuration of the site. The examination indicated three separate cuttings of the site by the river. The oldest episode cut the northwest end, leaving a steep slope now stabilized by grasses. The next episode cut away the entire southwest half of the mound. This left a steep slope which still-active gullies have cut into four major spurs. The most recent episode cut into the west corner between the two previous cuts, leaving a near vertical cliff in constant danger of collapse. The second stage of erosion had left a long transect through the heart of the settlement which could be excavated with relative ease and safety. Excavation debris could be dropped over

the bank onto the present Mehmeh flood plain. I decided to place two major excavations on this slope, and two of the four spurs were randomly selected as locations for these excavations (Fig. 3). In retrospect, this method probably biased our sample in favor of large building because the spurs themselves are the areas more resistant to erosion,

and thus probably areas with particularly massive stone and mud brick foundations. Because of this possible bias, I have not attempted to estimate statistical attributes of the total community such as percentage of ground devoted to large residences, or kilograms of chert discarded in a given period, much as I might like to do so.

The two main excavation units were 5 m wide and were oriented northeast-southwest in order to cut the slope at right angles and provide useful sections. The unit to the southeast was labeled Excavation A, and the unit to the northwest was labeled Excavation B. While these units are exactly 45 m apart in order to facilitate any future master excavation grid at Farukhabad, for our purposes a simple Jetter I number grid of one meter squares was used within each excavation. In each there were five letters going from 'A' on the northwest to 'E' on the southeast. Perpendicular there were numbers, in Excavation A running from '5' to '18' and in Excavation B running from '1' to '14'. Each excavation was intended to maintain a roughly 25 sq m area of exposure. As they proceeded downward, they were stepped outward so that the area exposed approximated that figure. The excavation procedure was as follows. Once architectural features were removed from a surface, the entire area was cut down a few centimeters and cleaned. Then a shallow step was cut into the slope to reveal a section of the underlying deposits. Possible walls and other features were defined on the newly cleaned upper surface and section, and natural strata of 'layers' were tentatively defined on the section. When walls were present the provenience units or loci were defined in architectural terms. When they were not, the space was divided in some convenient arbitrary manner. Only the very thinnest of natural layers were excavated as a whole. Most layers thicker than 15 em were removed in arbitrary upper, middle, or lower layers. Often, as we worked inward from the section, ephemeral floors or color changes were noted which justified such subdivision. Four varieties of 'floors' were defined. Most contained flecks of gypsum, probably of natural origin. Very well-prepared floors had a base of puddled mud or mud bricks covered by a layer of mud plaster. Ordinary floors had only a covering of mud plaster. Even simpler floors had only a very compact surface, without special base or layering. Finally, ephemeral floors had only a discontinuous compacted surface with or without special covering. In retrospect, an even more complex taxonomy of surfaces might have been useful in architectural and stratigraphic interpretation. In only one case was there a serious loss of stratigraphic control. This good fortune is attributable more to the relatively unweathered, multi-colored stratigraphy than to any special skill on our part. (The

exceptional case occurred in the second millennium layers of Excavation B where the horizontal depositional stratigraphy was cross-cut by a sloping post-depositional green staining which may have resulted from the percolation of ancient sewage.) When mud brick wall stubs and other features were isolated, they were drawn on plans, photographed, numbered, otherwise recorded, and removed. All debris were screened through half em mesh except material from the cleaning of sections, from demonstrated mud brick walls, and from known animal burrows. Screening allowed the consistent recovery of the small bitumen, bone, and chipped stone fragments needed for various kinds of statistical analysis. In some horizontal excavations, where certain types of debris can be recognized as terrace fill or mud brick collapse, such can be discarded, but in small stratigraphic excavations of the sort we were undertaking, one cannot be certain until after the deposit is removed. When in doubt, we screened the deposit. The artifacts from each volume of earth or provenience unit removed from the excavation were recorded in a serial excavation catalogue. For instance, the provenience unit labeled X485 might be from a volume of brown silt and ash from Excavation A, horizontally defined as a 2.5 by 2.0 m area identified as squares A, B, and half of C-12, 13 and vertically defined as from layer 25. The procedure of excavation, recovery, and recording might be repeated within each excavation several times each day. Appendix Table A-1 presents the provenience catalogue. A further word about the excavation of features may be useful. Any association between soil phenomena and objects that was not routinely recorded in field notes, plans, or sections was designated as a 'feature' and serially numbered within each excavation. Features included pits, hearths, postholes, piles of stones or bones, burials, and mud brick wall stubs. The last, the most common type, were approached in the following way. Brick alignments were noted in scraping the excavation. These areas were isolated by removal of refuse or brick collapse from either side of their alignment down to the next possible floor. We then worked in from the side in hopes of finding brick faces or plaster. In many cases this was not possible and we cut into clean brick and mortar in hopes of finding the joints. If the feature still seemed to be a wall rather than a pattern of neatly fallen brick collapse, it was numbered, measured,

INTRODUCTION and mapped. In order to provide final confirmation that a feature was a wall, we removed portions in order to examine the cross-section of the feature and to obtain whole bricks for measurements. There are two points in the excavation at which I think this procedure may have broken down. Both represent extremely weathered layers which were exposed to the elements for several centuries during abandonments of the mound. One is Excavation A, Layers I to 4; the other is Excavation B, Layer 37. Otherwise, though the field plans and sections occasionally leave something to be desired, I believe we have recorded the mud brick wall stubs adequately. Our procedures revealed a number of features which pass all the tests for walls, but which only survive to a height of one or two brick courses. One would expect the debris of the upper walls to fill a room to a much higher level than this. Such wrecking to near floor level would only result when the debris of the destroyed building was hauled away and dumped elsewhere. The frequency of the practice at Farukhabad may result from the steepsidedness of the mound, already at least ten m above the level of the plain by 4000 B.C. Constant filling around the edges would have been needed to level off the top of the mound, and building debris would have suited the purpose admirably. During the course of the excavation various specialized samples were taken. Bags of earth were collected for water flotation to recover carbonized plant remains as well as tiny retouch flakes, rodent bones, and other items. Rectangular blocks of earth were cut out of the section for pollen analysis. Charcoal was collected in plastic bags for radiocarbon age determinations. A third minor excavation was undertaken for a specific purpose and with modified procedures. This was a one m wide trench (termed Excavation C) transecting the northeast slope. It was undertaken during the last days of excavation in order to provide a section through the original outer perimeter of the central mound. First, the trench was stepped down the slope and the section was cleaned and recorded. Most of the recorded walls were those of small buildings. Perhaps because of erosion or quarrying of the mound perimeter for building materials by the Partho-Sasanian occupants, the only circumvallation discovered dates to the later second millennium B.C. Artifact samples for dating purposes were removed from some of the layers as exposed in the steps and the effort was

7

closed. During the subsequent course of analysis, I often regretted being unable to expand our clearance of the small buildings in this area, but our resources were largely expended by then, and continuation was not possible. A total of 1512 man-days, not counting the efforts of the supervisory staff, were spent at Farukhabad. While much of the excavation was done by the supervisors, several of the men of Deh Luran proved to be skilled excavators and most of them worked hard under difficult conditions of alternating rain and dust storms. It soon became apparent that we were underfinanced and short of supervisory staff; difficulties were compounded by vehicle breakdown, sudden changes of weather, and so on. Furthermore, the scarcity of food in Deh Luran, then separated from Andimeshk and Dezful by more than four hours of dusty track and two unpredictable river fords, made life even more difficult. The fact that Mrs. Wright, Dr. Bettarel, Mr. Gibbs, and Mr. Imani stayed with the project under these conditions until the very end is highly commendable. The fact that there were no major illnesses in the field is attributable to Mrs. Wright's careful attention to the preparation of meals in addition to her heavy burden of laboratory work. The following table indicates the work done by the group.

With temperatures over 40°C, we left Farukhabad and Deh Luran on April 30th, 1968. I have returned three times in succeeding years. In 1969 I assisted James A. Neely in his intensive site survey of the Deh Luran Plain as a part of the second Rice University project under Frank Hole. In 1970, I returned to assist Richard Redding in the trapping of small mammals in the area. In 1973, I returned

to repair the ditches and banks which protect the excavations from excessive rain damage. Doubtless many readers will wish that larger exposures were made. Except for the above mentioned Excavation C, I disagree. From a practical point of view, a site like Farukhabad, cut in half by natural forces, is ideal for stratigraphic work such as ours, but not for extensive horizontal clearance. I would rather have several small stratigraphic excavations rather than one large one.

THE ANALYSIS Since we were not certain that sherd samples shipped across the oceans would arrive safely in Michigan, we decided to undertake an extensive preliminary analysis in Iran. The goal was to record enough so that a useful report could be written even if by some chance the samples were lost. Mr. Imani made special arrangements with Mr. Nasser Bayani of the Kermanshah Office of the Ministry of Culture and Arts to set up a laboratory in that city. After returning Chicago's Landrover to Iraq, we began work in the laboratory. Several weeks were spent doing counts and drawings of the artifacts from all stratified provenience units, after which everything was taken to Tehran. Through the kindness of Mr. Pourmand, most of the stratified ceramics, stone tools, and animal bones were sent to the United States. They are now housed primarily at the University of Michigan Museum of Anthropology in Ann Arbor, The University Museum in Philadelphia, and Yale University in New Haven. After this preliminary analysis, I felt obliged to make some decisions regarding terminology for artifacts and cultural units. For the artifact types, I have used simple verbal labels to facilitate memory and enliven the discussion. I have tried to follow the terminological precedents of my own previous publication ( 1969a), which I set after consultation with a number of scholars working in lowland Mesopotamia, and of the work of Hole, Flannery, and Neely (1969). The only new formal artifact names used in this volume are those for ceramic wares, such as Sargarab Ware and Uruk Ware. I have presented only verbal descriptions of these, as I believe more formal description should be proposed only after technological analysis. The fourth millennium B.C. in Greater Mesopotamia,

with its rapidly changing ceramic technology, is certainly a fertile field for a person with such analytical interests. In the case of terminology for cultural units, I have followed a double standard. New local phases in the Greater Ubaid tradition have been given names based on sites or nearby modern communities, following the pattern set by Hole, Flannery, and Neely. These names are easy to remember and are distinguished by outstanding ceramic features easily learned and quickly noted during reconnaissance. Such phases probably define the remains of single societies. In the subsequent Protohistoric periods, however, stylistically well-defined local units are not easily perceived. Instead there are a series of broadly correlated local developments. I have opted for named phases with interregional applicability transcending the local differences which certainly exist. Such phases probably define time periods rather than social units, though this point is untested and will remain so until more accurate methods of dating are devised and applied throughout the area. I would like to emphasize that I have no objection to broadly descriptive phase names such as 'Early Protoliterate'. However, such names are problem-specific. Given a concern with states as administrative systems, the term 'Protoliterate' is an excellent one. Given a concern with city growth, the term 'Protourban' might be more useful. Such problem-defining terminologies are not designed to isolate content-free temporal or social units for purposes of comparison by different scholars. Only such content-free terminologies require general agreement and uniform use. Table 2: Later Phases at Tepe Farukhabad

INTRODUCTION The series of phase names for Farukhabad, proposed in part during the preliminary analysis but continuously modified since, is presented in the following table. Letter designation follows the pattern of Hole, Flannery, and Neely After returning to Ann Arbor, the samples were cleaned again and catalogued under the direction of Gibbs. I began a time-consuming analysis of the distribution of artifacts within the excavations as recorded in the counts made in Kermanshah, assisted by Gregory Alan Johnson and Ingrid Christensen. Though we learned a great deal about the use of computers, this work contributed little to this monograph since it soon became apparent that the typology devised in Kermanshah was too general. More than a year was spent constructing and statistically testing a new typology, preparing tables of measurements and counts, preparing illustrations, and checking field notes. Dozens of students in our laboratory course in museum techniques worked on these tasks, and many of them went on to do optional problem-oriented research on particular classes of artifacts. All completed papers dealing with these projects have been edited and are included here under the contributor's name. The illustrations were prepared primarily by myself. Ellen Wilt and Margaret Van Bolt prepared several of the more difficult illustrations. The chipped stone was drawn according to the common conventions of Paleolithic archaeologists, the direction of flaking being indicated by convex lines concentric around the former position of the point of impact for each flake removal scar. The depth of shadow is indicated by the heaviness of these lines, with the light being conventionally above and to the left of the tool. I have retained this convention for the ceramic illustrations. The function of the shadow on the ceramics is to show the surface texture, particularly those marks which might indicate methods of manufacture. If we maintained the convention of putting the exterior view of the pot to the right and the section and interior view to the left, the shadow would be very heavy on both the interior and exterior of the vessel, obscuring features of interest. Therefore we have not followed the common practice, but have put the section and interior view to the right. In addition, we have tried to show asymmetries and errors in design when they occurred in hopes of

conveying information on the methods of decorating pottery. We hope that these efforts will prove useful to the reader. Large blocks of data were made available to interested specialists. Their contributions on the plants, animals, and later occupations have been included with minimal editing, and many of their conclusions have been cited in the various summary sections of the main body of the report. The descriptive sections of this main body were largely finished in the summer of 1970. Teaching and other responsibilities subsequently kept me from returning to the manuscript for several years. During the course of analysis several preliminary papers have been published or otherwise circulated. The first was a brief note in Iran, Vol. VII ( 1968), composed immediately after our return from Kermanshah. Several errors in this report require correction. First, the reported height and length of the mound were too great. Second, the ascription of layers to phases differs slightly from that finally decided upon. Third, the correlation of the Deh Luran Phases with the Le Breton Susiana and Susa phases were incorrect, as discussed in the appropriate subsequent part of this monograph. Finally, the late building whose remains form the summit of the mound of Farukhabad is probably Parthian or Sasanian, not Early Islamic. Most of these errors were repeated in the "First Interim Report," a mimeographed document circulated to only a few individuals. The third preliminary paper used the evidence of exports and imports from Farukhabad to consider a variety of propositions about exchange, state development, and town growth. This was presented at the American Anthropological Association meetings in New Orleans in the autumn of 1970. It was published in 1972, after much revision, as "A Consideration of Inter-regional Exchange in Greater Mesopotamia: 4000 to 3000 B.C." in "Social Exchange and Interaction," Anthropological Papers No. 46 of the University of Michigan Museum of Anthropology, edited by E. N. Wilmsen. The errors included in the first version of this paper, resulting primarily from the uncritical use of the data from the Kermanshah analysis, were repeated in the "Second Interim Report," another mimeographed document released to only a few people. These errors will not be detailed here. The published version of the 1970

paper was expanded in 1980 to form Chapter XV. The preceding chapters are essentially as they were written in 1974.

THE PLAN OF THE PRESENT WORK This monograph has several purposes. First, it should make a contribution to the understanding of early exchange in Southwest Asia, and of the development of early states in general. Second, it should extend the culture historical sequence on the Deh Luran Plain from the end of the fifth millennium B.C., to which point the successive Rice University Projects under the direction of Frank Hole had taken it, up into the second millennium. The data used to achieve these purposes are presented in the appendixes so that the reader may reach his own conclusions regarding either aspect of the project. Hopefully these data, both the counts and measurements and the various illustrations, will be useful to other investigations commonly pursued but not emphasized in this work. Among these would be intra- and inter-regional stylistic comparison and sequence correlation. The deposits cut by the excavations contained two obvious stratigraphic unconformities, marked by weathered horizons. The three divisions created by these unconformities contained very different cultural remains, and this has to some extent dictated the organization of this work. Thus, Part One is concerned with the Bayat and Farukh Phases, late manifestations of the Susiana Tradition. During the occupational hiatus after these two phases, as indicated by the weathering of Excavation A, layer 23 and Excavation B, layer 37, there is evidence at other sites on the Deh Luran Plain of at least two distinct cultural phases. These are discussed in the last pages of Part One. Part Two describes the deposits of the various U ruk and Jemdet Nasr Phases as well as a tentatively defined phase of the first part of the Early Dynastic Period. In the hiatus indicated by the weathering and erosion of Excavations B, Layer 19, and the weathering of Excavation A, Layers 1 to 4, the rest of the Early Dynastic Period and the Period of the Empire of Agade occurred. Part Three deals with the succeeding Elamite Phases and later times. Part Four presents information on plants and animals. Part Five offers some conclusions about inter-regional trade during the periods spanned by the first two parts.

Within the first two parts, a similar format is followed. First, the stratigraphy and features are presented. The feature data have been re-ordered and amplified from field records. For instance, once types of bins and hearths were isolated it was possible to find data on others not recognized and numbered in the field. These have been numbered and entered in the tables. In the second chapter, the ceramics are described with minimal use of statistics, because measurements of every example of each type from a 50 percent random sample of the provenience units are included in the appendixes. The third chapter covers chipped stone tools and other artifacts, and the fourth chapter is devoted to the distribution of artifact types in order to define cultural phases and to evaluate the different activities performed during these phases. This effort is included within the ceramic chapter in Part Three because the very limited horizontal exposure of the Elamite Layers precluded any kind of activity study. Fifth and finally, a summary chapter draws together the first four chapters of the section, the contributions of the ethnozoologist and the ethno-botanist, and some of the survey data kindly made available by James Neely in order to provide a brief overview of what is known of the series of phases covered in that part. In all parts, but particularly in Part One, an effort has been made to provide data comparable to that presented by Hole, Flannery, and Neely in the first Deh Luran report. This is not so, however, in the counting of sherds. My counts are always of vessels represented by a rimsherd or base or some such part. Two pieces from the rim of one vessel, with a few exceptions subsequently noted, are counted as one. This is done because some of the statistical manipulations used require that interdependency between observations be eliminated as much as possible. Beyond this, however, I found it most difficult to .assign body sherds to specific bowl types in any duplicable manner. To mitigate this inconsistency I have presented some counts of the Tepe Sabz Bayat Phase material using the same standards used in this study of the Farukhabad material (Table 10). In retrospect, there are many features of the analysis that I would like to revise. For instance, as a result of the work of Alain Le Brun (1971), Gregory Johnson (1973), and Helene Kantor on the Susiana Plain, it seems certain that the U ruk ceramic typology could be improved for purposes of both chronological study and studies of activ-

INTRODUCTION ities. Had I measured the entire ceramic sample, readers could re-classify all the ceramics in any way they chose. To take another example, studies of activity variation could have been improved if information on body sherds, chipped stone waste and scrap bone had been statistically analyzed. However, the number of artifacts and the number of provenience units from any single phase at Farukhabad is small. It seems better to wait until larger and more appropriate samples are available for analysis before undertaking such improvements in analysis and not to delay further the appearance of this report.

Elements of the final text not attributed to a particular author were prepared by Henry T. Wright, who has also taken the responsibility for the integration of all the elements. Parts of the text were critically examined by John Alden, Benjamin Fischler, Robert Henrikson, Gregory A. Johnson, Sander van der Leeuw, and Susan Pollock. The editing was done by David Victor with the assistance of Mary Coombs, Mary Hodge, Katherine Moore, and Carla Sinopoli. To these and to the many others who made useful suggestions and comments, the authors extend their sincere thanks.

PART ONE: THE BAYAT AND FARUKH PHASES

Chapter I

STRATIGRAPHY AND STRUCTURAL FEATURES OF THE BAYAT AND FARUKH PHASES

Layer 35: Brick debris (.20 m): Southwest or outside of Feature 32, there is a lens of ash, a pebble pavement, and a lens of green clay. Inside Feature 32 is a layer of silt and broken brick. The newly reconstructed Feature 32 has an interior partition (Figs. 6, 9a). The inside and outside deposits in this and the preceding two layers are dissimilar and unconnected; their correlation is based on relative altitude. Layer 34: Silt, ash, and gypsum grit floors (.25 m): These floors occur at the same level both inside and outside of Feature 32. The uppermost floor has a few broken bricks embedded in it. Layer 33: Silt and ash (.10m): This is fill on top of the Layer 34 floors. It is capped by the brick packing of Layer 32. Layer 32: Brick packing (.85 m): This is the foundation platform of Feature 30, a large building. Some of these bricks may be the dismantled upper walls of Feature 32. Because the bricks vary so greatly in size, however, there is no way to show this. The packing is capped by a layer of clean silt, perhaps mud mortar laid down to level off the platform top and to provide a base for floors. Layer 31: Silt floors (.10m): These are prepared floors constructed within the Feature 30 building. Layer 30: Silt, gypsum grit, ash and brick (.20 m). Debris resulting from the deterioration of the building both within its rooms and in the alley outside of the rooms. In the east end of the alley there is an ash lens capping this layer. Otherwise the top is ill-defined. Layer 29: Silt and broken brick (.90 m): This thick collapse deposit preserves the wall stubs of the large building of features 30 and 31 ('c' and 'e' on Figs. 4 and 5) to a height of more than a meter. Some gypsum grit occurs. Many flat oval lime-

INTRODUCTION Deposits of the Bayat Phase were removed from Excavation A, and deposits of the Farukh Phase were removed from both Excavations A and B. The stratigraphy of the deposits is well-defined, relatively horizontal, and broken by few intrusive cultural disturbances. The most common features are the unbaked mud brick walls of various kinds of buildings. The stratigraphy of each excavation unit is discussed layer by layer from bottom to top, although layers were numbered from top to bottom. This reversal facilitates the presentation of interrelated depositional events. Then each type of feature is presented, and each building is discussed individually, the attributes of the building's walls being presented in Table 3.

BAYAT AND FARUKH PHASE STRATIGRAPHY EXCAVATION A

Layer 37: Silt floors (.25m in average thickness): The compact silt floors, with some ash, slant down and thicken from southwest to northeast inside the rooms of Feature 32, the wall stub of a small building (labeled 'a' on Fig. 6). The top of the layer is a roughly level, compact silt floor. Layer 36: Silt and ash floors (20m): Southwest, or outside of Feature 32, this layer is green silt with a compact floor on top. Northeast, inside Feature 32, there are alternating layers of ashy silt and compact silt overlaid by a compact silt floor with some gypsum grit. 12

STRATIGRAPHY OF THE BAYAT AND FARUKH PHASES stone pebbles were found in the upper part of this debris, perhaps a result of the dismantling of the building. The top of Layer 29 is ill-defined. Layer 28: Silt, gypsum grit, charcoal, and ash. (.25 m): Some lenses of ash occur in small pits cutting into Layer 29 and even into the top of Feature 31. The lenses show no continuity and there are no floors, suggesting that the area was used as a refuse dump. Layer 27: Silt floors (.22 m): To the southeast this layer is a well-defined sequence of prepared floors becoming progressively thinner near the top. A single floor was arbitrarily chosen as the upper surface of this layer. To the northwest this floor is somewhat different: there are a few ash lenses and the upper surface of the layer is capped by an ash lens. Near the center of the excavation there is a concentration of flat oval pebbles. Layer 26: Silt floors (.15 m): To the northeast these floors were ill defined and there is some ash in the fill between them. A building of unknown function (Feature 29, Fig. 4f) was built here during this period of deposition. To the southeast, in the uppermost five em of Layer 27 and lowermost 10

13

em of Layer 26, 16 successive compact prepared floors could be distinguished. To the southeast the top of this layer is greenish silt floor. Layer 25: Silt with coarse gypsum grit (.22 m): This debris is from the deterioration of Feature 29 to the west and the construction and use of a probable storehouse to the east (Feature 28, Fig. 5g). Some clay of the type used for sealings occurs in this layer. The top of the layer is a compact gypsum grit floor to the southeast and an ash lens to the west. Layer 24: Silt, gypsum grit, and floors (.15 m): There is no evidence of a structure in use at this time, but there are masses of fine clay fragments apparently scraped off containers during the process of sealing them (see Chapter IV, Pl. 16b). A storehouse must have been nearby. This layer is higher to the southwest, where it covers the wall stub of Feature 29, and slants down to the northeast. Layer 23: Brown and green silt floors (.10 m): Lower Layer 23 has no outstanding features. It is capped by the brick packing of a platform (Feature 25, Fig. 4 h). To the east of the platform is a thin

flooring of brick visible in the section, over which is a deposit of green clay. These were removed as upper and middle Layer 23. Layer 22: The lower portion of Layer 22 is a soft cross-bedded deposit probably composed of material eroded from the top of the platform mixed with Uruk debris. The upper portion is composed of silt and ash lenses of the later phase. EXCAVATION B

Layer 47: Ash and silt with some floors (.28 m): There is a well-defined floor separating the lower and upper portions of this layer and an ephemeral floor at its top.

Layer 46: Silt, ash, and gypsum grit with some floors (.38 m): In the middle of the layer is a floor with evidence of burning and a scatter of lightly baked brick fragments. A wall footing runs from east to west across the north end of the very small 3.0 by 2.5 meter exposure of this level. The top is a compact floor. Layer 45: Silt floors (.19m): This layer has some gypsum grit in the lower two floors and some charcoal in the upper two floors. Several possible walls footings are founded in lower Layer 45. A compact floor caps the layer. Layer 44: Silt and gypsum grit (.25 m): A complex of small rooms and walls (Feature 41, labeled 'a' on the section in Fig. 8) was founded on

the middle of Layer 45, but was probably built in slight wall trenches cut from the top of Layer 45. Layer 44 is the fill of this complex. Variation in room fills is discussed in the subsequent description of Feature 41. The top of Layer 44 is a gypsum grit floor. Layer 43: Silt, green silt, and gypsum grit floors (.30 m): These floors overlie the low mound of debris left by the room complex, parts of whose walls may still have been standing. There are broken brick fragments in the upper portion of the layer, probably resulting from the final leveling of Feature 41. The top is an ephemeral, compact floor. Layer 42: Silt, ash, and gypsum grit (.25m): To the southeast there are ephemeral floors with gypsum grit. To the northwest there is more ash in the deposit. Broken bricks and limestone cobbles are scattered throughout. A fragmentary wall stub

was founded on middle layer 42. The top of this layer is a compact floor continuous to the southeast and ephemeral to the northwest. Layer 41: Silt, gypsum grit, and broken brick (.25 m): Another building complex (Feature 40) was constructed on the top of Layer 42. This initial construction was disturbed at the point where it entered the section but a later reconstruction (Fig. 8b) is visible. The fill of these rooms contained cobbles and large blocks of orange and gray silt of a sort now seen eroding from the banks of the Mehmeh River. The purpose of these is unknown. The top of this layer is a compact floor. Layer 40: Silt floors (.15 m): The Feature 40 complex is rebuilt. The floors and footings, sunk in a slight wall trench, are clearly visible in section. The top is a compact silt floor. Layer 39: Silt, broken brick, and brick flooring, (.15 m): The brick flooring is visible in the north-

Table E4: Identifiable Elements of the Class Mammalia (The Mammals) Recovered at Tepe Farukhabad Key Table E4 is a series of grids in which each identifiable mammal element is placed. At the top of each grid is the taxonomic designation of the elements in that grid. The columns in the grids are the excavation units and the rows osteologic designations. Each element is represented by a series of symbols at the appropriate intersection in the grid. The first symbol is a number representing the number of elements of a single type recovered. It is always present. This may be followed by either an Lor an R. This refers to the symmetry of the element(s). The absence of either of these two symbols indicates that element(s) is medial or that it is symmetry indeterminate. The symbols P and D are utilized only with limb elements. They refer to proximal and distal respectively. The symbols U ,F, and I refer to the state of fusion of the elements. They may be interpreted as unfused, fused, and fusing respectively. The symbol Foe. may replace the symbol U and should be read as foetal. The symbol Dec. is utilized with teeth that have been identified as being deciduous. Following the number of elements in the rows Mx and M' (lower and upper molars) there may be a second number in parenthesis. This indicates the number of these elements that are third molars. Examples: IRPF One, right, proximal, fused IL One, left Two, distal, fused 2DF
