Principles of Archaeological Stratigraphy
Second edition. London: Academic Press.
Available online: www.harrismatrix.com |
Excerpts
Th: stratigraphy–> |
|
The book elaborates in detail the stratigraphic principles set out in previous papers. After a history of the background of stratigraphy in geology and its development in archaeology, Harris explains his four principle of stratigraphy. This culminates in his introduction and explanation of the so-called Harris Matrix - the diagram used to illustrate stratigraphic relations between units. He then goes on to practical concerns about best ways to record stratification, including best kinds of plans and section drawings (based on his recommendation of the single context recording system), and how to create correlations and phasing.

Andirons at Urkesh: New Evidence for the Hurrian Identity of Early Trans-Caucasian Culture
in A. Sagona (ed)A View from the Highlands: Archaeological Studies in Honour of Charles Burney,
ANES Supplement 12
Herent: Peeters, pp. 67-89. |
Excerpts
Th: typology–> |
|
At Urkesh some andirons (also called in literature ‘firedogs’) have been uncovered: these finds also strengthen the relationship between Urkesh and the Ealy Trans-Caucasian culture (ETC), extending in modern Georgia and Armenia. The possible ancient trade routes are reconstructed, also speculating about the system of control of these important zones (mostly the Mardin pass, just to the North of Tell Mozan): to strengthen the idea of contacts between Urkesh, Early Anatolia and ETC, sealings and seals decorations and motifs are compared, underlining communal way of carvings and of portraying images.
