Located in southern central Iraq, al-Ḥīra was a place of supra-regional importance in the 5th and 6th centuries. After the Islamic conquest, the former residence of the Lahmid dynasty developed into one of the leading urban centers of the Islamic world, together with the neighbouring newly founded al-Kufa. The focus of the multidisciplinary research project is on the archaeologically and historically based reconstruction of the settlement history of al-Ḥīra. The study focuses on the transformation processes triggered by the changes in political and economic conditions in the 7th century. How did the coming into power of new elites manifest itself in changes in settlement morphology, infrastructure, building typologies and construction methods? The creation of a stratigraphically based chronology of the settlement history and its constituent elements as well as the evaluation of the results in a supra-regional context promise fundamental insights into the architectural history and the dynamics of urbanistic processes in late antique and early Islamic Iraq. The discussion about early Islamic urbanism is thus extended to include an important metropolitan area whose geographical and historical framework clearly differs from the well-studied late antique landscapes of Greater Syria.

阿尔蒂拉位于伊拉克中南部，在 5 世纪和 6 世纪是一个具有超区域重要性的地方。伊斯兰征服后，拉赫米德王朝的故居与邻近的新建立的库法一起发展成为伊斯兰世界的主要城市中心之一。这个多学科研究项目的重点是从考古学和历史学角度重建 al-Ḥīra 的定居历史。研究重点是7世纪政治和经济条件的变化所引发的转型过程。新精英的上台如何体现在聚落形态、基础设施、建筑类型和建造方法的变化上？ 创建基于地层的定居点历史及其构成要素的年表，以及在超区域背景下对结果的评估，有望为了解古代晚期和早期伊斯兰伊拉克的建筑历史和城市化进程的动态提供基本见解。因此，关于早期伊斯兰城市化的讨论扩展到包括一个重要的大都市区，其地理和历史框架明显不同于经过充分研究的大叙利亚晚期古代景观。
