Abstract
Karkemish on the Euphrates is a gateway site for the Syro-Anatolian and northern Mesopotamian region. The renewed excavations carried out by the Turco-Italian Expedition since 2011 brought to light much new evidence allowing us to tackle issues on the formation, organisation and development of Iron Age societies. This paper analyses the chronological differentiations within the early 1st millennium BC pottery assemblages from Karkemish in comparison with the commonly shared chronological framework based on historic and art historic sources (Iron Age I–II). Moreover, we will attempt to understand which regional trends contributed to the formation and development of the ceramic horizon during this period.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
