Wright, Eric S.A. Rupley, Jason Ur, Joan Oates and Eyad Ganem Université du Michigan (USA); Université de chicago (USA); Université d’Oxford (Angletrre); DGAM (Lattaquié) Introduction In 2002 our efforts were focused on the immediate neighbourhood of Tell Brak up to a seven km radius from the site itself. In 2003, with the issuance of a new permit, we extended north and west to a radius of 15 km, increasing our coverage to nearly 500 km2. Over the two seasons a total of 268 sites have been identified (Figure 1). During the 2003 season, an in­ tensive investigation of the outer suburbs of Tell Brak was also initiated. The survey is part of the wider Tell Brak Project under the overall direction of Professor David Oates, whose death on the 22nd March, 2004, we report with sadness. He will be sorely missed. The survey itself is directed in the field by Professor Henry Wright with the assistance of Eric Rupley, Jason Ur and (in 2003) Helen McDonald, Phil Karsgaard and Harriet Martin. We were further ably assisted in the 2003 season by Fahed Juma and Chris Martin. In 2002 Geoff Emberling, Joint Field Director of the Tell Brak Project together with Helen McDonald, came with us to Damascus and Hasseke to oversee the preparatory stages of the project. Professor David and Joan Oates joined us for part of both seasons. Throughout both seasons, we were incomparably aided by Sd. Eyad Ganem, Representative of the Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums, Damascus. We also wish to thank most warmly Dr. Tammam Fakouch, Director General, Dr Michel Al-Maqdissi, Director of Excava­ tions, and Dr. Abdul Razak Mouaz, former Director- The first and second seasons of the Tell Brak Sustaining Area Survey took place in the autumn of 2002 and 2003, over seven weeks from mid September through the beginning of November. 8 Les Annales Archéologiques Arabes Syriennes General, of the Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums, Damascus, for their friendly and unfailing assistance and support. We also wish to thank Sd. Abdul Messih al-Baghdo, Director of Antiquities for Hasseke Province for his continuing efforts on our be­ half. The Setting of the Survey The Khabur Plain constitutes the largest tract of land in Upper Mesopotamia suitable for dry farming, although today it suffers unreliable winter rainfall and fierce summer heat, especially toward its southern margins. At the present day the plain receives only erratic and seasonal water from several small streams originating in the Tur Abdin massif to the north or from springs in the foothills, while the flow of the Khabur River itself, as well as its largest tributaries, suffers from the effects of pumping for irrigation. At times rainfall is adequate for grain cultivation and the sustenance of sheep and goat herds throughout the plain. At other times, only the northern third of the area receives sufficient rain for reliable crops. Evi­ dence from ancient times suggests long periods of more reliable moisture, and the Khabur plain can be viewed as a microcosm of the north Mesopotamian Jazira with both its potential and its risks. This plain is important for archaeologists becau­ se of the variety of past cultural processes that can be studied within its bounds. Criss-crossed by se­ veral important ancient routes (Oates 1977), it is an area in which relationships between changes in in­ ter-regional exchange and in social complexity can be investigated (Stein 1999). As a key province in successive imperial domains, its settlement patterns can also provide indices of the degree of imperial control of agriculture and transport, as well as in the defense of frontiers (Oates 1968). The primacy of Brak (ancient Nagar) is understandable as a res­ ponse to its ‘gateway’ position (Burghardt 1971) at a major wadi crossing and the intersection of east- west and north-south routes; its gateway role is also reinforced by its position within a narrow band of separation between the fertile heart of the Khabur basin to the north of Brak and the zone of margi­ nal cultivation to the south (Brak 2, Ch. 1). Mo­ reover, cities like Brak occupy a position of control between the well-watered Khabur heartland and the increasingly arid lands to the south and may have functioned as an interface between semi-nomadic pastoralists and urban agrarian economies (Wilkin­ son 1994; 2000); indeed the importance of wool in the economy is especially noticeable in the fourth millennium evidence from the site (Weber in Em­ berling & McDonald 2003; Oates 1993). Previous archaeological survey near Tell Brak The Khabur plain was first systematically sur­ veyed during the 1920s by Père Poidebard of the Mission Archéologique en Syrie (1934), with a spe­ cial emphasis on forts and roads which he believed to date from the period of Roman imperial control. Later in the 1930s Max Mallowan surveyed some of the larger sites in the area of Brak and Chagar Bazar (Mallowan 1936, 1937). Nearly forty years later, several surveys have been initiated under the direction of uploads/Histoire/ aas-49-50-2006-2007.pdf
