“…In 2013 and 2015, MAIPE carried out an integrated archaeological survey of Helawa and Aliawa to establish the sites' chronological occupations, to make predictions on their morphologies and extensions within the different periods, and to assess the effects of natural phenomena on the archaeological deposit (Peyronel and Vacca 2015;Peyronel, Vacca and Zenoni 2016).…”

“…These areas were then digitised within the MAIPE GIS as polygon shapefiles, and the finds collected from the field were assigned to the specific CUs thanks to the "Insert Random Point" function in QGIS which allowed us to visualise the different phases of occupation at the site from the Late Neolithic to the mid-2 nd millennium BC and to identify the sporadic findings dating up to the Islamic period (Oselini 2020, fig. 4;Peyronel, Vacca and Zenoni 2016;Vacca, Moscone and Rosati 2020).…”

The Italian Archaeological Expedition in the Erbil Plain (MAIPE https://orienteantico.unimi.it/it/maipe/) of the University of Milan is experimenting with a GIS project based on the QGIS system. The project aims to combine data from survey, excavation, and geomorphological investigations carried out at the two sites of Helawa and Aliawa and their surrounding landscape. The MAIPE GIS is intended as a valuable tool for predictive, distributive and cross-data analyses considering the complex diachronic development of the area and the results of paleoenvironmental studies at a micro-regional and intra- site scale

Kani Shaie is a small archaeological site in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, centrally located in the Bazian Basin, a narrow valley at the western edge of the Zagros Mountains along the major route between Kirkuk and Sulaymaniyah. Its main mound was inhabited almost continuously from the fifth to the middle of the third millennium, c. 5000–2500 B.C.E. This period of Mesopotamian prehistory, corresponding to the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age, witnessed major transformations such as initial urbanism and intensification of interregional interaction networks. The recent resurgence of fieldwork in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq is beginning to reveal local trajectories that do not always match the established chronological framework, which is largely based on changes in ceramic technology and styles observed in northern Mesopotamia. Here, we discuss the ceramic sequence retrieved from a step trench at Kani Shaie spanning the entire Late Chalcolithic (c. 4600–3100 B.C.E.). A bottom-up approach to potting traditions at the site allows an initial assessment of the relationship between local communities in the Zagros foothills and large-scale developments in the Mesopotamian world. We argue that the evidence from Kani Shaie reflects a long process in which different communities of practice made active choices of adopting, adapting, or rejecting non-local cultural practices.

Early Urbanism in Northern Mesopotamia

Cities generate challenges as well as confer advantages on their inhabitants. Recent excavations and surveys in northern Mesopotamia have revealed extensive settlements with diverse populations, institutions, extended hinterlands, and mass production by the early fourth millennium BC, comparable to well-known evidence for cities in their traditional homeland of southern Iraq. However, early northern Mesopotamian cities incorporated low-density zones and flexible uses of space not yet identified in southern Mesopotamia. Evidence for violent conflict in northern Mesopotamian cities also raises questions about urban sustainability; cities succeeded despite new sources of social stress.
