Abstract
In recent years, an interdisciplinary study has been carried out on the building materials and construction techniques of Arslantepe. Representative samples from Late-Chalcolithic structures were analyzed to shed new light on ancient technology and manufacturing processes. The conducting of a choice among the various kinds of available raw earth as well as a difference in the installation of building materials were observed. Monumental architecture is characterized by mud-bricks with a wide color range, while in the housing units color is homogeneous. Moreover, an incipient intention to rationalize the mud-brick shape suggests increased control over the labor force by the elitesFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
