Anne Wissing, Die Bestattungen in der Zentralen Oberstadt des Tall Mozan/ Urkes(Syrien) im dritten und zweiten Jahrtausend v. Chr. Studien zur Urbanisierung Nordmesopotamiens(SUN), Band A5

手头的卷是对“北美索不达米亚城市研究”系列（SUN）的进一步重要贡献，该系列由申请人编辑，致力于出版Tell Mozan/Urkesh上部中心城市的挖掘结果。在地层学和建筑学（第1卷）、考古发现（第2卷）、环境调查（第3卷）和早期和中期青铜器时代陶瓷（第3卷）几卷出版之后，本卷以一种全面的最终出版物的方式，全面介绍了德国人在Tell Mozan发掘期间发现的早期和中期青铜器时代的墓葬。由Anne Wissing撰写的SUN A5卷论述了在<s:1>宾根大学的发掘中发现的公元前三千年和公元前二千年的墓葬，并将它们置于上哈布尔地区早期和中期青铜时代的葬礼的背景下。来自Tell Mozan的墓葬特征的价值，首先在于记录了整个定居点背景下的一系列坟墓，从c14阶段（早期耶济勒III时期）到c4阶段（旧耶济勒II时期）。这项工作的特别好处在于，一方面，对Tell Mozan的葬礼进行了详细和方法上的仔细介绍，另一方面，对叙利亚东北部整个地区的葬礼进行了系统的处理和比较汇编，这是迄今为止所缺乏的。这本书应该成为叙利亚葬礼考古的基准。在这本书中，从Tell Mozan开始的公元前第三和第二个千年的所有69个墓葬都对坟墓建筑，坟墓库存和埋葬仪式进行了考古描述。此外，所有的坟墓都在详细的目录中进行了详细说明，并在盘子上展示了它们的地面平面图，以及坟墓清单中物品的图画和照片。作为补充，Katja Zipp对每个坟墓的人类学分析及其结果发表在附录III中。通过这种方式，可以生成一份完整的提交，其中包括德国在泰尔莫赞挖掘的所有坟墓的特征和发现。上哈布尔地区其他发掘地点的墓葬也同样有系统地编制。这些公布的数据使读者能够回顾以下对坟墓和埋葬习俗的分析。这本书构成了Anne Wissing的博士论文，该论文于2013年提交给了<s:1>宾根大学哲学系，并于2014年进行了答辩。它获得了最优等的成绩。

The volume at hand constitutes a further important contribution to part A of the series “Studien zur Urbanisierung Nordmesopotamiens” (SUN), which is edited by the applicant and dedicated to the publication of the results of the excavations in the upper central city of Tell Mozan/Urkesh. After the appearance of the volumes about the stratigraphy and architecture (vol. 1), about the finds (vol. 2), about environmental investigations (vol. 3), and about the Early and Middle Bronze Age ceramics, the herewith provided volume offers – in the way of a comprehensive final publication – an overall presentation of the burials of the Early and Middle Bronze Ages which were discovered during the German excavations at Tell Mozan. The volume SUN A5 by Anne Wissing deals with the burials of the third and second millennium B.C. found in the excavations of the university of Tübingen, and places them in the context of funerals of the Early and Middle Bronze Ages in the Upper Khabur region. The value of the burial features from Tell Mozan consists, above all, in the registration of a whole sequence of graves within the context of the settlement, which reaches from phase C 14 (Early Jezireh III period) to phase C 4 (Old Jezireh II period). The particular profit of this work lies, on the one hand, in the detailed and methodologically careful presentation of the burials from Tell Mozan and, on the other hand, in the achievement of a systematic processing and of a comparing compilation of the funerals of this whole region in north-eastern Syria, which has been lacking so far. This volume should become a benchmark for the archaeology of funerals in Syria.In this book all 69 burials of the third and second millennium B.C. from Tell Mozan are archaeologically described regarding to grave architecture, grave inventory and burial rite. Additionally, all graves are specified in a detailed catalogue and presented on plates with their ground plans, and drawings and photos of the objects of the grave inventories. As supplement the anthropological analyses of each grave by Katja Zipp and the results herefrom are published in Appendix III. By this means a complete submission of the features and finds of all graves from the German excavations at Tell Mozan is generated. The burials from the other excavation sites of the Upper Khabur region are equally systematically compiled. These published data enable the reader to review the following analyses of the graves and of the burial customs. The volume constitutes the PhD thesis by Anne Wissing, which was presented to the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Tübingen in 2013, and defended in 2014. It received the grade summa cum laude.
