Description
Summary:This article presents a reconsideration of the architecture, stratigraphy and finds from Building Level H, excavated in Trial Pit Fat Ur. Analysis of Woolley's original excavation records, kept at the British Museum, provides the basis for a contextual reconstruction. A new complete study of published and unpublished materials now housed at the British Museum and at the Penn Museum of Philadelphia is offered here. Distribution of in situ artefacts is examined here in order to provide insights on the function of the excavated loci. Finally, pottery and glyptic assemblages, considered from a regional perspective, are used to define the chronological horizon of Level H. ﺔﻟﺎﻘﻤﻟا ةدﺎﻋإ ﻞﻴﻄﺗ ﺔﺴﻨﻬﻠﻟ ﺔﻳرﺎﻤﻌﻤﻟا ، يا تﺎﻘﺒﻄﻟا ﺎﻣو ﻒﺻا ﻲﻓ ﺔﻘﺒﻄﻟا H ، ﻲﻓ ﺲﺠﻣ F ﻲﻓ روا . ﺪﺜﻟو ﺮﻓو ﻞﻴﻄﺗ تلاﺠﺳ ﺐﻴﻘﻨﺘﻟا ﺔ ﻴﻃ لأ ا ﻲﺗﺎﺌﻴﺑﻲﺗﺎﺌﻴﺑضﺮﻤﺗ ﻲﺘﻟا مﺎﻗ ﺎﻬﺑ ﻢﻟﺎﻌﻟا يرﺎﺛلآا ﻲﻟوو Woolley ﺎﺳﺎﺳا ةدﺎﻋلإ ﺀﺎﻨﺒﻟا ﻲﻗﺎﻴﺴﻟا ﻞﻴﻠﺤﺘﻠﻟ , اﺬﻫ ضﺮﻌﺗو ﺎﻨﻫ ﺔﺳاﺮﺑ ﺔﻠﻣﺎﺷ ﺔﻧﻮﻜﺘﻣ ﻦﺻ باﻮﺻ تﺮﺜﻧ ىﺮﺧاو ﺮ ﻲﺘﻟا ةرﻮﺸﻨﻣ ﺔﻇﻮﻔﺤﻣ نلآا ﻲﻓ ﻒﺤﺘﻤﻟا ﻲﻧﺎﻄﻳﺮﺒﻟا British Museum ﻲﻓو ﻒ ﺗ ﻦﻴﺑ ﻲﻓ ﺎﻴﻤﺒﺻﺎﻴﻓ Penn Museum of Philadelphia ﺎﻤﻛ ﻢﺘﻳ ﺎﻨ ةرﻮﺸﻨﻣ ﺺﺤﻓ ﻊﻳزﻮﺗ ﻊﻄﻘﻟا ﺔﻳﺮﺛلأا ﻲﻓ ﻊﻗاﻮﻤﻟا ﺔﻔﻠﺘﺨﻤﻟا ﻚﻠﻧو ﻢﻬﻠﻘﺘﻟ ىؤر ﻰﻠﻋ ﺔﻔﻴﻇو ﻊﻗاﻮﻣ ﺐﻴﻘﻨﺘﻟا . اﺮﻴﺧا ، ﻢﻠﺨﺘﺴﻳ رﺎﺨﻔﻟا مﺎﺘﺧلأاو ﺔﻴﻧاﻮﻄﻣلإا ﻦﻣ رﻮﻈﻨﻣ ﻲﻤﻴﻠﻗإ ﺪ ﻴﺻ ﻖﻓلأا ﻲﻨﻣﺰﻟا ﺔﺜﺒﻄﻠﻟ H.
