Book excerpt: Though translated from a French version (L'Iran des origines a l'Islam, Paris, I95 i), the original idea for such a book was implanted in the author's mind by Professor Mallowan. As the latter points out in his foreword, M. Ghirshman's incomparable knowledge of the land and people of Iran and his intimate association with most of the major excavations carried out in that country for the past three decades, eminently qualify him for the formidable task of compressing within three hundred and fifty pages the history and archaeology of Iran from prehistoric times to the fall of the Sassanian dynasty in the seventh century A.D. The historical sequence constitutes the framework of this book. The first division, entitled "Prehistory," leads the reader from cave-man to the first settlers in the plain of Siyalk near Kashan (a site excavated by Ghirshman), through the prehistoric civilization of Iran in the fourth and the third millennium, to the historical age of the second. -- from http://www.jstor.org (June 13, 2011).

This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 1239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Archaeology of Iran from the Palaeolithic to the Archaemenid Empire is the first modern academic study to provide a synthetic, diachronic analysis of the archaeology and early history of all of Iran from the Palaeolithic period to the end of the Achaemenid Empire at 330 BC. Drawing on the authors’ deep experience and engagement in the world of Iranian archaeology, and in particular on Iran-based academic networks and collaborations, this book situates the archaeological evidence from Iran within a framework of issues and debates of relevance today. Such topics include human–environment interactions, climate change and societal fragility, the challenges of urban living, individual and social identity, gender roles and status, the development of technology and craft specialisation and the significance of early bureaucratic practices such as counting, writing and sealing within the context of evolving societal formations. Richly adorned with more than 500 illustrations, many of them in colour, and accompanied by a bibliography with more than 3000 entries, this book will be appreciated as a major research resource for anyone concerned to learn more about the role of ancient Iran in shaping the modern world.

Download or read book Early Islamic Iran written by Edmund Herzig and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Iran remain distinctively Iranian in the centuries which followed the Arab Conquest? How did it retain its cultural distinctiveness after the displacement of Zoroastrianism - state religion of the Persian empire - by Islam? This latest volume in "The Idea of Iran" series traces that critical moment in Iranian history which followed the transformation of ancient traditions during the country's conversion and initial Islamic period. Distinguished contributors (who include the late Oleg Grabar, Roy Mottahedeh, Alan Williams and Said Amir Arjomand) discuss, from a variety of literary, artistic, religious and cultural perspectives, the years around the end of the first millennium CE, when the political strength of the 'Abbasid Caliphate was on the wane, and when the eastern lands of the Islamic empire began to be take on a fresh 'Persianate' or 'Perso-Islamic' character. One of the paradoxes of this era is that the establishment throughout the eastern Islamic territories of new Turkish dynasties coincided with the genesis and spread, into Central and South Asia, of vibrant new Persian language and literatures. Exploring the nature of this paradox, separate chapters engage with ideas of kingship, authority and identity and their fascinating expression through the written word, architecture and the visual arts.
