Études Mesopotemiennes 2 is in two parts. The first part
corresponds to the proceedings of a colloquium organised by Maria
Grazia Masetti-Rouault. Its aim was to explore the crisis of the
State and the Monarchy between the 13th and 10th centuries in
northern Mesopotamia and Syria from archaeological, textual and
iconographic sources. The second part is dedicated to
archaeological and textual studies from three archaeological sites
that are currently being excavated in Iraqi Kurdistan : Qasr
Shemamoq, Kilik Mishik and Kunara.
This detailed survey of the archaeological evidence reassesses the
Middle Assyrian period, when the first Assyrian empire can be said
to have been founded as a result of large scale military expansion.
The chronology of expansion is reviewed in the light of recent
results from excavations, and a more nuanced view of the empire's
preceived decline in the 12th century BC. Tenu also examines the
organisation and administration of the empire and the integration
of non-Assyrian provinces and populations, as well as the
organisation of the Assyrian military. French text.
This volume contains 23 articles written by 26 authors in order to
express the extent of their respect and friendship for Christine
Kepinski. The topics addressed in their papers reflect the
scientific work of Christine Kepinski, who always promoted
interdisciplinary approaches and developed multi-scale analysis
from the object itself to regional study. Several papers are
directly connected to fieldwork she conducted in Iraq and in
Turkey: Haradum and the Middle Euphrates area, Tilbeshar and
Kunara. Others are devoted to material study, notably glyptic,
seals and sealing practices. Others evoke Syria: she never directed
archaeological excavation there but she always integrated Syria in
her studies. Finally, some are inspired by Christine Kepinski's
interest for urban life. The chronological time span of the book as
well as the various specialisations of the authors clearly show the
great value of her scientific background guided by her taste for
the Orient.
