Late Neolithic site Shir settlement

项目摘要

The late Neolithic settlement of Shir near Hama is situated in the hinterland of the northern Levant, that is, in one of the most favourable regions of western Asia. The stratigraphic sequence distinguished thus far confirms that the site was inhabited between 7000 and 6300/6100 calBC. After that it was abandoned, perhaps due to climatic change and never resettled again. From 2006 to 2010 the site has been systematically investigated by the Damascus Branch of the German Archaeological Institute and by the Syrian Department of Antiquities. Archaeological fieldwork at Shir have focused on three areas thus far:1. The southern area where excavations were carried out between 2006 and 2009, and where the entire settlement sequence consisting of six building levels was traced down to bedrock;2. The northeastern area, where excavations were undertaken from 2008 to 2010, exposing several special buildings with cell like rooms; 3. The central area, where large scale excavations started in 2009, and another deep sounding began in 2010. Excavations conducted aimed at determining the stratigraphy of the site, the functional analysis of the special buildings and the layout of the settlement. Moreover, the association between the settlement and its surroundings is of special interest. Based on the data which could be retrieved in the course of eight field seasons, Shir can be considered one of the key sites of the early Late Neolithic period, where numerous questions regarding the development of material culture, and social issues can be treated on the grounds of a very extensive data base. The preliminary results of the data processing point to a durable continuity until the 8th millennium BC, particularly regarding architectural elements, burial practices and lithics. Also, and a strong regional component in the development of early pottery can be traced. Due to political developments in Syria since the spring of 2011, the original schedule of the project for 2011 and 2012, including field research and evaluation work could not be realized and the work has been focused entirely on material processing and preparation of the first volume of the final publication (Shir I: The Late Neolithic Site of Shir. The Excavations at the South Area 2006 to 2009). Work on the manuscript is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2013. The aims for the next phase of work from 2013 to 2015 are centered on the evaluation of the results of archaeological fieldwork at the northeastern and central area. The data recorded will allow for a thorough and swift publication of the stratigraphy, architecture, small finds, lithics, pottery, anthropological and botanical finds. The results will be published as volumes II and III of the final publication (Volume II: The Late Neolithic site of Shir. The Excavations at the Northeast Area 2008 to 2010; Volume III: The Late Neolithic site of Shir. The Excavations at the Central Area 2009 to 2010).

哈马附近的新石器时代晚期希尔定居点位于黎凡特北方腹地，也就是西亚最有利的地区之一。到目前为止区分的地层序列证实了该遗址在公元前7000至6300/6100 calBC之间有人居住。之后，它被遗弃，也许是由于气候变化，再也没有重新安置。从2006年到2010年，德国考古研究所大马士革分支和叙利亚文物部对该遗址进行了系统的调查。到目前为止，希尔的考古实地考察集中在三个方面：1。南部地区在2006年至2009年期间进行了挖掘，整个沉降序列由六个建筑层组成，可追溯到基岩;2.东北部地区，2008年至2010年进行了挖掘，暴露了几个特殊的建筑，像细胞一样的房间; 3。2009年开始在中心区域进行大规模挖掘，2010年开始进行另一次深海探测。进行的勘测旨在确定场地的地层、特殊建筑物的功能分析和定居点的布局。此外，定居点与其周围环境之间的联系特别令人感兴趣。根据八个田野季节的数据，希尔可以被认为是新石器时代晚期早期的关键遗址之一，在那里，许多关于物质文化发展的问题和社会问题可以在非常广泛的数据库的基础上得到处理。数据处理的初步结果表明，直到公元前8千纪，特别是在建筑元素、埋葬习俗和石器方面，这种持续性是持久的。此外，在早期陶器的发展中，也可以追溯到一个很强的区域成分.由于2011年春季以来叙利亚的政治事态发展，该项目原定的2011年和2012年时间表，包括实地研究和评估工作，无法实现，工作的重点完全放在材料处理和最终出版物第一卷的准备上（《希尔I：希尔新石器时代晚期遗址》）。2006年至2009年在南部地区进行的重建）。手稿工作定于2013年上半年完成。2013年至2015年下一阶段的工作目标是评估东北部和中部地区考古实地工作的成果。所记录的数据将使地层学、建筑学、小发现、石器、陶器、人类学和植物学发现的全面和迅速的出版成为可能。研究结果将作为最终出版物的第二卷和第三卷出版（第二卷：新石器时代晚期的希尔遗址）。2008年至2010年东北地区的考古发掘;第三卷：新石器时代晚期的希尔遗址。2009年至2010年在中部地区进行的重建）。
