This study analyses the social and symbolic value of the material
culture, in particular the pottery production and the architecture,
and the social structure of the local communities of a broad area
encompassing Eastern Anatolia, the South Caucasus and North-western
Iran during the last phase of the Late Bronze Age and the Early
Iron Age. This broad area is known from the Assyrian texts as
'Nairi lands'. The second part of the study, furnishes a
reassessment of pottery production characteristics and theories, as
well as of the socio-economic structure and issues, tied to the
sedentary and mobile local communities of the Nairi lands. The
study brings into focus the characteristics, the extension and the
distribution of Grooved pottery, along with other pottery
typologies, by providing an accompanying online catalogue with
detailed descriptions and high-resolution images of the pots and
sherds obtained from public and private institutions in Turkey and
Armenia. Moreover, the socio-political organisation and subsistence
economy issues are addressed in order to advance a possible
reconstruction of the social structure of the Nairi lands
communities. Particular attention is devoted to the pastoral nomad
component and the role played within the Nairi phenomenon. The
study includes a very large corpus of text images and
high-resolution color images of the pottery of the area under
examination, gathered by the author in order to offer a reliable
tool and compendium.
