The second phase of the project “Mobile Villages and Dynamic Landscapes” examines resilience and the handling of crises in a highland community in the Shahrizor plain of the west-central Zagros mountains. In contrast to the highly dynamic alluvial fan of the Varamin Plain, which was the focus of the first phase of the project, the Shahrizor Plain is characterized by a more stable environmental situation and thus offers a suitable comparative case in which to investigate mobilities as strategies of resilience. The site of Tell Begum, occupied from the Late Neolithic to Late Chalcolithic periods (mid-6th to mid-4th mill. BCE), will be the focus of the proposed work. Previous research indicates that despite a superficial appearance of long-term settlement continuity, both longer-term abandonment phases and small-scale settlement shifts characterize the settlement’s history. These suggest different sociocultural responses to crises and ways of averting them. A central element of the investigations will be strategies of economic mobility. We understand economic mobility as patterns of mobility connected to resource acquisition, exchange, and use, involving the circulation of people, plants, animals, materials, and sociocultural information. We postulate that resilience will be greater in cases in which there is higher diversity in the sources of materials, information, and social connections; conversely, low diversity leaves communities more vulnerable in the face of crises. Subsistence resources (plants, animals and their products), durable materials and goods (e.g., pottery, stone tools) as well as communication networks (identifiable as stylistic similarities) will be examined in terms of their degrees of diversity in each phase of the site’s occupation.

“流动村庄和动态景观”项目的第二阶段审查扎格罗斯山脉中西部沙赫里佐平原一个高地社区的复原力和危机处理情况。与Varamin平原高度动态的冲积扇不同，Varamin平原是该项目第一阶段的重点，Shahrizor平原的特点是环境状况更稳定，因此提供了一个适当的比较案例来研究流动性作为复原力战略。Tell Begum遗址，从新石器时代晚期到胆石时代晚期(6世纪中期到4世纪中期)。BCE)，将是拟议工作的重点。先前的研究表明，尽管表面上看起来长期定居点的连续性，但长期的废弃阶段和小规模的定居点转移都是定居点历史的特征。这些都表明了应对危机的不同社会文化反应以及避免危机的方法。调查的核心内容将是经济流动性战略。我们将经济流动理解为与资源获取、交换和使用相关的流动模式，涉及人、植物、动物、材料和社会文化信息的流通。我们假设，在材料、信息和社会关系来源具有更高多样性的情况下，复原力将更强；相反，低多样性会使社区在面临危机时更脆弱。将审查生存资源(植物、动物及其产品)、耐用材料和物品(如陶器、石器)以及通信网络(可识别为风格相似之处)在场地占用的每个阶段的多样性程度。
