Document Details : Title: Notes on the Achaemenid and Partho-Sassanian Periods at Yanik Tepe, Northwestern Iran, Excavated by Charles Burney Author(s): SUMMERS, Geoffrey D. , ÇINICI, Ahmet Journal: Ancient Near Eastern Studies Volume: 58 Date: 2021 Pages: 11-38 DOI: 10.2143/ANES.58.0.3290196 Abstract : Excavations at Yanik Tepe in the Urmia Basin, northwest Iran, were conducted by Charles Burney in the 1960s. This paper considers aspects of the Achaemenid-era occupation, including an addition to previously published accounts of the pottery. The date of the defensive ditch around the summit of the mound is discussed and a detailed account of the small but massively built structure on the summit of the mound, probably dating to the Partho-Sassanian period, is given together with an attempt at architectural reconstruction. |
