Document Details : Title: An attempt to systematize the gates in the Urartian fortresses Author(s): JAKUBIAK, Krzysztof Journal: Iranica Antiqua Volume: 39 Date: 2004 Pages: 169-190 DOI: 10.2143/IA.39.0.503894 Abstract : One of the most interesting issues in Urartian archaeology is the development of a defensive network. The majority of Urartian fortresses have never been excavated though. This article provides an overview of defensive sites with preserved defensive gates in Iranian North-Western Azerbaijan and eastern Turkey. Other parts of the Near East should be studied, but no possibility is offered today. |
