“…The IPAEB team also excavated two kilns in workshop 11, although archeomagnetic samples were taken only from kiln 11-1 (F1A8). Radiocarbon dating places kiln 11 (F1A8) between the second half of the eighth century and the end of the tenth century (Fusaro et al, 2019(Fusaro et al, , 2022Martínez Ferreras et al, 2020;Portero et al, 2021).…”

“…According to archeological research, multiple pottery production centers (workshops n. 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11) were active during the early Islamic period (approximately seventh to ninth centuries CE) both inside and outside the northern wall of the rabad. However, the pottery workshop located in the shahristan (workshop 5) dates to a latter period and reflects changes introduced in the city urban plan following the Mongol conquest led by Genghis Khan in 1220 (Fusaro et al, 2019(Fusaro et al, , 2022Lesguer, 2015;Martínez Ferreras et al, 2020;Portero et al, 2021). This date marks the end of Termez as a major urban center, although residual occupations persisted in some areas until at least the seventeenth century CE.…”

Unraveling the short‐term behavior of the Earth's past geomagnetic field at regional scales is crucial for understanding its global behavior and, thus, the dynamics of the deep Earth. In this context, obtaining accurate full‐vector geomagnetic field records from regions where archeomagnetic data are absent becomes essential. Here, we present the first full‐vector archeomagnetic data from Central Asia, derived from the analysis of nine archeological kilns sampled in South Uzbekistan, dating back to the period between 200 BCE and 1429 CE. To obtain these new data, we conducted thermal and alternating field demagnetization procedures, along with Thellier‐Thellier paleointensity experiments, including partial thermoremanent magnetization checks, thermoremanent magnetization anisotropy and cooling rate corrections. The comparison between the new data, previous selected data from Central Asia, and available global models reveals important differences between approximately 400 BCE and 400 CE, especially concerning the geomagnetic field intensity element. In order to investigate this in detail, we have developed a regional update of the SHAWQ global models family by incorporating, for the first time, high‐quality data from Central Asia. The results suggest that this deviation is linked to non‐dipolar sources of the geomagnetic field in Central Asia reaching a maximum contribution around the first century BCE. According to the updated global paleoreconstruction, this non‐dipole feature, manifested at the Earth's surface as low intensities, is associated with the presence of a reversed flux patch at the core‐mantle boundary beneath this region.

“…At the end of the 7th century, the region was conquered by the Arabs, resulting in a complete change in the formal and decorative repertory of the pottery [5,6,22,27]. Glazes are frequent from the 9th and 10th centuries, especially in the case of tableware.…”

“…To the north of the Shahristan and the Rabad, outside the walls, several potters' workshops have been documented in an inhabited area dated to the medieval period. For this reason, it is known as the Potters' Quarter [27]. Although this craft activity is undoubtedly well documented, the occupation sequence and urban structure in this suburb need to be defined more precisely.…”

The archaeological site of Ancient Termez is located in southern Uzbekistan. Despite the arid environment, the city benefited from its strategic position near two rivers, the Amu Darya and the Surkhan Darya. Its significance was mainly related to the expansion of trade routes connecting Eurasia. The city comprises several enclosures that attest long-term human-environment interactions. In order to identify the adaptive dynamics of the settlement models during an extended chronology covering the period from c. 300 BCE to c. 1220 CE (Greco-Bactrian/Yuezhi, Kushan, Kushano-Sasanian, and Islamic periods), a multidisciplinary study has been carried out, which includes: (1) archaeological excavations in several areas of the urban complex; (2) pedestrian surveying inside some enclosures and in the urban periphery; (3) an aerial survey based on high-resolution satellite imagery; (4) AMS dating of charcoal and bone samples; (5) archaeobotanical investigation through anthracological analysis; (6) zooarchaeological studies. The results point to variations in the development of the inhabited spaces, in which abandonment and occupation took place. The zooarchaeological and archaeobotanical data demonstrate the exploitation of natural resources in different environments (i.e., arid areas and irrigated land) and a certain evolution during the period considered.

A létesítményi infrastruktúra biztonságának esszenciális részét képezi a fizikai védelem, amelynek jelentősége napjainkban kétségtelenül növekszik. Tanulmányunkban áttekintjük a biztonság fogalmát és a fizikai védelem alapjait. Ezt követően archeológiai kutatási eredmények és vonatkozó szakirodalmi adatok alapján bemutatjuk a városfal, vagyis az első fizikai védelmi eszközök egyikének a megjelenését a legősibb települések körül. A történelmi érdekességeket is tartalmazó rész után a fizikai védelem 21. századi kérdéseit és kihívásait tárgyaljuk. Végezetül olyan megállapításokat teszünk a fizikai védelemről, amelyek egyaránt érvényesek voltak a kezdetekben és érvényesek napjainkban is. A jelenkort és a kezdeteket együtt láttató, az alapelvekre történelmi példákkal rávilágító cikkünk megerősítő és inspiráló lehet a biztonságtudomány szakemberei számára, valamint érdekességként szolgálhat a téma iránt érdeklődőknek.
