Paperback - The contributions focus on the difficult correlation between the political demise of ruling dynasties and the development of material culture in the Ancient Near East during the Iron Age. Archaeological periodization schemes of material culture development in Northern Mesopotamia from 7th to 5th centuries BCE traditionally refer to the sequence of dynasties. In particular, they highlight historical events related to distinguished members of the royal houses of the Sargonids, Urartians, Medes, Teispids, and Achaemenids. However, whereas the repercussions these Iron Age empires had on the history of the Near East are undeniable, the impact they had on the material culture and its development is not always equally tangible in the archaeological findings. The latter are not infrequently characterized by continuity rather than by incisive changes, as recent studies and re-evaluations of key sites in Syria, Iraq, Iran and Armenia show. This publication uses case studies to address problems that arises when the archaeological (relative concept) and historical (absolute concept) methodology use different intrinsic values of time to reconstruct history and to understand cultural material development. Archäologische Periodisierungsschemata der materiellen Kulturentwicklung Nordmesopotamiens in der Zeit vom 7. bis 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. orientieren sich traditionell an historische Zäsuren, die mit der Abfolge von Herrschaftsdynastien wie den Sargoniden, Urartäern, Medern, Teispiden und Achämeniden verbunden sind. Gleichwohl die Bedeutung dieser eisenzeitlichen Herrscherhäuser auf die politische Geschichte Vorderasiens unbestreitbar ist, ist ihr Einfluss auf die materielle Kulturentwicklung nicht im gleichen Maße bestimmbar. Letztere ist nämlich öfter durch Kontinuität als durch einschneidende Veränderungen geprägt, wie rezente Untersuchungen und Neubewertungen wichtiger archäologischer Befunde in Syrien, Irak, Iran und Armenien aufgezeigt haben. Der vorliegende Band weist anhand von Fallbeispielen auf die Problematik hin, die bei abweichenden Bedeutungszuweisungen der Dimension Zeit in archäologischen (relatives Konzept) und historischen (absolutes Konzept) Betrachtungsweisen für die Rekonstruktion der Geschichte und der Entwicklung der materiellen Kultur auftreten können.
