Workshop Ascalone/Sajjadi
New and Old Multidisciplinary Researches at Shahr-i Sokhta in a Historical Perspective
Organizers: Enrico Ascalone (University of Göttingen) / Mansur Sajjadi (Iranian Center for Archaeological Research)
Abstract
The workshop explores the economical and societal transformations in eastern Iran from the end of IV to the beginning of the II millennium BC using a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to the new and old Shahr-i Sokhta excavations (Sistan-va-Baluchistan, Eastern Iran). The discoveries made by the historical Iranian expedition since 1997 and the new multidisciplinary project started in 2017 at Shahr-i Sokhta will be the subject of the workshop mainly focused to update our knowledge on the Bronze Age Iran. In details, the archaeological data will be corroborated by preliminary archaeometric and laboratory analysis, bio-archaeological and palaeo-environmental studies, settlement researches, geo-magnetic surveys, petrographic and paleoparasitological studies in a wider historical perspective focused to the investigation of social and economic processes at Shahr-i Sokhta from its formation to the collapse (ca. 3200-1800 BC).
