Contextualizing Arbīl: Medieval urbanism in Adiabene

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In the ongoing archaeological project, we pursue surveys and interpretation of the network of Late Sasanian – Late Islamic cities and towns in the land of Arbīl, in northeastern Mesopotamia. About 20 of urban sites from the 6th to 17th centuries, mostly deserted, have been identified in the historic province Adiabene or Hazza, bounded by rivers of Great Zab, Little Zab and Tigris. The archaeological substance of the sites is mostly very well preserved in the relief of the arid steppe environment and can be excellently identified in satellite images of several types. The research of these settlements offers a rare opportunity for holistic study of a medieval urban network dynamics, its resilience, degree of integration and causes of diversity of individual sites. Some specific features of Arbīl ´s urban development from the 7th to 13th century seem to be more comprehensible in the comparison with preliminary remote sensing, analysis of textual evidence and field observation of sites in its wider background.
