| Summary: | This paper intends to review the political and ethnic movements that took place along the North-Syrian Euphrates river from the collapse of the Bronze Age political system down to the collapse of the Neo-Assyrian empire, taking, when appropriate, Tell Ahmar-Til Barsib as an illustration of these developments. Four main periods are identified: (1) the transition from the Bronze to the Iron Age, (2) the reconstruction of stable political structures and their significance for the definition of a possible Aramaean culture, (3) the absorption of these structures into an expanding Assyrian empire, (4) the emergence of a cultural koine linking centre and periphery in the last century of the Assyrian empire. |
