Накратко на български
Археологията на Древен Иран анализира социалното развитие на региона, например прехода от лов и събирачество към земеделие. Работата попълва липсата на съвременен синтез и помага за разбирането на ранните градове и първите империи в света.

Ancient Iran: a Social Archaeology
The major research objective has been to conduct a synthetic and analytical study of the archaeology of Iran, maximising the immense experience and knowledge of the senior researcher, Dr Hassan Fazeli, with significant input from the host institution scientist in charge, Professor Roger Matthews, who has considerable experience and knowledge of archaeology in Iran and neighbouring countries. The output is a co-authored book, entitled “Ancient Iran: a Social Archaeology”, which will stand as a state of the art articulation and exploration of major themes and issues in the archaeology of Iran. The book’s publication in both English and Farsi (planned for 2017 with Routledge) ensures its broadest possible reception within appropriate archaeological and public communities. The book is designed to stand as a classic text on its subject for years ahead. There is a serious need for an up-to-date synthesis of the archaeology of Iran, in its geographical entirety, situated within the context of modern scientific approaches and theoretical frameworks. The research objectives included addressing the following specific issues: 1. Selection and collation of available Iranian records relating to the archaeology of Iran 2. Articulation of a model of social archaeology applicable to ancient Iran 3. The development of Iranian archaeology as an academic discipline 4. Human-environment interactions in the land of Iran: geography, climate, natural resources 5. The early hominin and human occupation of Iran, 500,000-12,000 BCE 6. From hunter-forager to farmer-herder: sedentarisation and animal/plant domestication in the Neolithic period, 12,000-6000 BCE 7. Iran’s role in the rise and spread of urban, literate societies, 6000-2000 BCE 8. Iran in the world’s first empires, 2000-300 BCE Each objective comprised thematic studies of key issues, thus allowing scope for theoretically-informed exploration of social, economic and cultural problems situated within a firm chronological framework. The production of such a study thus constitutes a highly innovative and valuable contribution to our understanding of this region, as well as situating the region’s archaeology firmly within a contemporary archaeological academic framework.

Цел на проекта
The objective is to conduct cutting-edge research into the archaeology of Iran, culminating in the publication of a state-of-the-art analytical study in the form of a book entitled 'Ancient Iran: a Social Archaeology'. The project will bring together Iran's leading archaeologist, Dr Hassan Fazeli, with a prominent UK researcher, Professor Roger Matthews, who will jointly carry out the research using the first-class facilities at the University of Reading for the first 24 months of the project. The final 12 months of the project will be spent in translation and publication preparation of a Farsi edition of the book.The archaeology of Iran has been understudied in recent decades and a major objective here is to situate the rich Iranian evidence in the context of contemporary archaeological theory. Major research issues will include the articulation of a model for a social archaeology of Iran, the development of Iranian archaeology as a discipline, the early prehistoric occupation of Iran, the development of settled, farming communities from 10,000 BCE, Iran's role in the rise of the world's first urban, literate societies, and Iran in the first world empires of the Iron Age.The research will be highly innovative in that no similar study has ever been conducted on the archaeology of Iran, and also very timely in that it will develop wider academic and public understanding and appreciation of Iran at a time when they are much needed. The researcher will benefit immensely from an extended period in the European Research Area, and will succeed in bringing his broad and detailed knowledge of the archaeology of Iran fully into the European arena, thus at the same time enhancing his own skills and expertise while raising the global attainment of Europe within the field of Iranian studies.The research will serve as a platform for the continuing development of European-Iranian academic collaboration, in a field where the researcher and scientist in charge are already highly active.""
