Se presenta una primera síntesis sobre los trabajos que se están realizando en Tell Halula (valle del Eufrates, Siria) que proporcionan una ocupación continuada desde el horizonte cronológico-cultural del período pre-pottery neolithic B (PPNB) medio hasta elfinal delas etapas históricas de la primera mitad del VII milenio B.P. (8700 B.P. y 7400 B.P.). El análisis detallado para cada horizonte histórico permite observar la continuidad de la evolución cultural, con la incorporación de transform...

Descripció del recurs: el 31-10-2011 Aquesta tesi ha estat presentada sota la forma de compendi de publicacions i és el resultat de 15 anys de investigacions arqueològiques al Pròxim Orient centrats en tres grans projectes d’excavació: els jaciments de Tell Halula i Tell Amarna a la vall de l’Eufrates i el de Chagar Bazar a la del Khabur. La tesi s’estructura en tres grans apartats: Un primer on es plantejen de manera sintètica les problemàtiques entorn de la cultura Halaf amb un resum crí...

We present new archeomagnetic intensity data from two Late Neolithic archeological sites (Tell Halula and Tell Masaïkh) in Syria. These data, from 24 groups of potsherds encompassing 15 different time levels, are obtained using the Triaxe experimental protocol, which takes into account both the thermoremanent magnetization anisotropy and cooling rate effects on intensity determinations. They allow us to recover the geomagnetic intensity variations in the Middle East, between ∼7000 BC and ∼5000 BC, i.e. during the so-called pre-Halaf, proto-Halaf, Halaf and Halaf-Ubaid Transitional cultural phases. The data are compared with previous archeointensity results of similar ages from Northern Iraq (Yarim Tepe II and Tell Sotto) and Bulgaria. We find that previous dating of the Iraqi material was in error. When corrected, all northern Mesopotamian data show a relatively good consistency and also reasonably match with the Bulgarian archeointensity dataset. Using a compilation of available data, we construct a geomagnetic field intensity variation curve for the Middle East encompassing the past 9000 years, which makes it presently the longest known regional archeomagnetic intensity record. We further use this compilation to constrain variations in dipole field moment over most of the Holocene. In particular, we discuss the possibility that a significant dipole moment maximum occurred during the third millennium BC, which cannot easily be identified in available time-varying global geomagnetic field reconstructions.
