They were recovered in 1960 by Braidwood’s Iranian Prehistoric Project. Parallels to other glyptic from Iran and northern Mesopotamia suggest that the corpus dates to the late 5th to mid-4th millennium
BCE. Impressions on the backsides of the sealings indicate their use on both mobile containers and doors.

the Central Gulf in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, which dates to the late sixth and early fifth millennium BC. With almost 15,000 single pieces of pottery, the assemblage recovered from the site represents the largest amount of ceramic material of this period that is known from the whole Arabian Peninsula. Its examination will provide data concerning the relationship between, and diachronic changes in, the two main types of pottery, ΚUbaid Ware and Coarse Ware, during the time of habitation.
Both wares appear from the beginning of occupation onwards but their characteristics vary in numerous aspects, a fact that
points towards an independent and indigenous ceramic tradition of the Coarse Ware. At the same time the occurrence of three Coarse Ware pieces bearing an incised decoration with a geometrical pattern and two Coarse Ware rim fragments apparently imitating a specific ΚUbaid vessel shape led to questioning the actual value of the vessels as well as the consistency of availability of imported pots from distant regions, such as southern Mesopotamia.

by Aydin Abar, Maria Bianca D'Anna, Georg Cyrus, Vera Egbers, Barbara Huber, Christine Kainert, Birgül Ögüt, Nolwen Rol, Giulia Russo, Julia Schönicke, and Francelin Tourtet Pearls, Politics and Pistachios. Essays in Anthropology and Memories on the Occasion of Susan Pollock's 65 th Birthday, 2021

In each of the 46 contributions the 63 authors from West and Central AsiaAmerica and Europs celebrate Susan Pollock as a multi-facetted and brilliant scholar and colleague, as a devoted and outstanding teacher and as an empathetic mentor. The range of topics covered in the articles spans from the first occurrence of Homo sapiens on the Iranian Highland, to the relation of violence and epidemics in North America, to the research of the underrepresentation of female scholars in a male dominated Publikationslandschaft, as well as the role of politics in archaeological practice. Together the authors present the diversity of archaeological practice neither limited by time and space, nor by methodical conventions.
The contributions are organized in three chapters. The first chapter „Taking a Closer Look…“ brings together in-depth studies of prehistoric communities and object analyses. which offer a plethora of different approaches to the past. The second chapter„… While Keeping the Big Picture“ offers contributions of larger scale, in time and geographically, of migrations, prehistoric economies, conflicts within communities and societies, as well as wars between different groups. The closing chapter „Questioning the Discipline“ frames methodological questions, scrutinizes current discourses in archaeologies and the specificities and problems ranging from decolonization to the role of women in archaeological disciplines. The chapters are interlocked with personal anecdotes and essays, chronicling the authors’ experiences they shared with Susan at different times in her career.
A big “Thank You!” from 63 authors in 46 contributions to Susan Pollock for collaborating in joint projects and her manifold support which shaped them into self-determined scholars.

The presence of pottery fragments related to Mesopotamia all along the southern shores of the Ara... more The presence of pottery fragments related to Mesopotamia all along the southern shores of the Arabian Gulf is not new to Archaeology. But recent archaeological investigations at Dosariyah, Saudi Arabia, stimulate the academic debate again. The ceramic complex from this site represents the largest amount of sherds of the late 6th and early 5th millennium BCE that is known on the whole of the Arabian Peninsula and therefore makes this site a unique spot in the Gulf Area.
This paper will present the results of the pottery analysis, which provides a solid foundation for a detailed characterisation of the site where a presumably local produced 'Coarse Ware' has been used alongside an imported so-called 'Ubaid Ware'.
The focus will be on similarities and differences of both Wares and their changes through time. Furthermore, based on the evidence from Dosariyah new perspectives will be given concerning the type of interregional contact between southern Mesopotamia and the wide shores of the Arabian Gulf, that is represented in the newly excavated material from Dosariyah.

The ceramic complex from this site represents the largest amount of sherds of the late 6th and early 5th millennium, that is known on the whole of the Arabian Peninsula and therefore makes this site a unique spot in the Gulf Area.
The paper will present the latest results of the current pottery analysis. The new data provide a solid foundation for a detailed characterisation of the site where a presumably local produced 'Coarse Ware' has been used alongside an imported so-called 'Ubaid Ware'.
The focus of work will be on similarities and differences of both Wares and their changes through time. Based on the evidence from Dosariyah new perspectives will be given concerning the type of interregional contact between southern Mesopotamia and the wide shores of the Arabian Gulf, that is highly represented in the excavated material from Dosariyah.
