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

手头的这一卷是对系列“Studien zur Urbanisierung NordMesopotamiens”(SUN)A部分的又一重要贡献，该系列由申请人编辑，专门用于出版在中部城市Tell Mozan/Urkesh的发掘结果。在出现了关于地层学和建筑学(第1卷)、关于发现(第2卷)、关于环境调查(第3卷)以及关于青铜时代早期和中期陶瓷的卷之后，本卷以全面的最终出版物的方式提供了对德国在Tell Mozan挖掘期间发现的早期和中期青铜时代墓葬的全面介绍。Anne Wissing的SUN A5卷涉及在图宾根大学的挖掘中发现的公元前第三和第二个千年的埋葬，并将它们置于上哈布尔地区青铜时代早期和中期葬礼的背景下。最重要的是，Tell Mozan墓葬特征的价值在于登记了定居点范围内的一系列坟墓，从C14阶段(耶济雷三世早期)到C4阶段(旧耶济雷二世时期)。这项工作的特别好处在于，一方面是对Tell Mozan墓葬的详细和方法上的仔细介绍，另一方面是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，从坟墓建筑、坟墓清点和埋葬仪式方面对公元前第三和第二个千年的所有69个墓葬进行了考古描述。此外，所有坟墓都在一份详细的目录中具体说明，并以图版形式展示，其中包括墓地平面图、墓地清单物品的图纸和照片。作为补充，Katja Zipp对每个墓穴的人类学分析及其结果发表在附录III中。通过这种方法，从Tell Mozan德国发掘的所有墓穴的特征和发现的完整提交。上Khabur地区其他挖掘地点的墓葬同样得到了系统的汇编。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。这本书是安妮·威辛的博士论文，于2013年提交给图宾根大学哲学系，并于2014年进行了辩护。它以优异的成绩获得了总成绩。

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.
