Walter Andrae und die Wiederentdeckung Assurs das abenteuer der architektonischen zeichnung innerhalb der archäologie des alten orients
One of the aims of archaeological investigation is to know and, as far as possible. reconstruct, the physical space inhabited by the ancient. Field drawing and the history of architecture have always gone hand in hand. When Khorsabad was discovered in the middle of the 19th century, there were some positive impulses, that, nonetheless, were not continued . But in Germany, the traditional investigation of ancient architecture, that had been developed since the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, went in depth into the study and documentation of the ruins and construction techniques, suggesting drawings reconstructing buildings based on rigorous information. When German archaeology began to work in the Near East, Robert Koldewey not only introduced modern and rigorous excavation and documentation techniques, but applied reconstruction drawings to the study of the cultures of the ancient Orient. His disciples continued his work, and among them, Walter Andrae played the most important role. Thanks to his technique, documentation and reconstruction drawings, Assur would come back to reality. Modern technologies, applied to the documentation of those first excavations, could achieve today astounding result
«De re rustica»… in extrema pars mundi. Agricultura, parcelas y canales en Dehistán durante la Edad del Hierro (1500-500 a. C.): Notas en Izat Kuli
La práctica de la agricultura ha sido una de las cuestiones siempre presentes en la investigación sobre los
pueblos del Oriente antiguo. Plantas, personas y propiedad o transmisión de la misma han sido atendidas
por las ciencias de la naturaleza o la Filología y la Historia Antigua. Sin embargo, una demostración
arqueológica sobre el terreno, para identificar espacios de roturación o formas de parcelas parece
improbable. Al fin y al cabo, los miles de años transcurridos sobre la tierra cultivada de las áreas rurales
parecen impedir su hallazgo a través de la arqueología. Sin embargo, algunos descubrimientos recientes
apuntan inesperados resultados: la imagen nítida de la agricultura en el yacimiento arqueológico. Unas
circunstancias ambientales lo han hecho posible, por ejemplo, en el desierto del Dehistán (Turkmenistán).Agriculture has been a recurrent topic in the study of ancient Near Eastern civilizations. Natural Sciences,
Philology or Ancient History have focused on plants, people, property and property transfer. However,
due to thousands of years of continued use in rural areas, archaeological evidence identifying parcels of
agricultural land and their features seem impossible. Nevertheless, recent findings point to unexpected and
promising results: environmental circumstances in the desert of Dehistan (Turkmenistan) make possible to
have a clear image of agriculture in an archaeological sit
