Elam in the 2nd millennium B.C.: A multi-regional approach

尽管埃兰是近东最强大的古代国家之一，但它受到的学术关注却比邻国少。该项目采用了一种创新的方法，针对伊朗的三个未发掘的遗址（Deh-e Now， Tepe Senjar和Liyan），旨在调查公元前2000年埃兰的鼎盛时期。考古发掘将在5年的时间内进行，过去很少受到关注的材料将使用广泛的科学技术进行分析。该项目将是近25年来对埃拦的第一次重大调查。

Although it was one of the Near East's most powerful ancient states, Elam has received less scholarly attention than its neighbours. Using an innovative approach targeting three unexcavated sites (Deh-e Now, Tepe Senjar and Liyan) in Iran, this project aims to investigate Elam at its height during the 2nd millennium B.C. Archaeological excavations will be undertaken over a 5 year period and materials which have rarely received attention in the past will be analysed using a wide range of scientific techniques. The project will be the first major investigation of Elam in almost 25 years.
