Description

"Assyrian pottery of the XI-VI centuries BC is a very special topic in Near Eastern archaeology for several reasons: it is widely diffused, relates to the expansion of the first real 'empire' in Western Asia, and is well-characterized in terms of typology, manufacturing and decoration. Especially from the VIII century BC on, the Assyrian policy of settlement in conquered regions led to a wide-ranging occupation of all the available landscapes in many of the conquered provinces. The result is a large amount of excavations with materials dating back to that period. The Atlas aims to develop a global typology that can be applied to the whole Assyrian repertory, in order to highlight the main types and to define their precise chronology and diffusion in the various regions conquered by Assyrians"--Page 4 of cover.
