| Summary: | The site of Hasanlu in northwestern Iran was excavated in 10 campaigns between 1956 and 1974. Publications of the excavations by the director Robert H. Dyson, Jr. and by expedition staff members have appeared in many academic journals and in a number of other venues up to the present, including several monographs. They amount to more than 90 works, but only one final, synthetic report has ever appeared. Much of Hasanlu still remains underpublished and unpublished. Further, a review of the publications that have appeared across the past 50 years reveals an inadequate and inconsistent, sometimes confusing, documentation of the various cultural levels uncovered with the artifacts, architecture, burials, and chronology. This study articulates these issues by confronting and evaluating these publications in the sequence of their appearance and discusses how this record of the site affects our knowledge of one of the most important sites in the Near East, as well as the archaeology of northwestern Iran. |
