| Summary: | The University of Tsukuba team began investigations of the Neolithisation process in the Slemani area in 2014. Excavations were undertaken at Qalat Said Ahmadan (2014, 2015) in the Pshdar Plain, in addition to surveys at Jarmo (Charmo)1 and Turkaka (2016-2018) in the Chamchamal area. Integrated research, including the making of topographical maps and 3D visualisations using the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and geological and paleoenvironmental surveys, along with archaeological sounding excavations, will provide new perspectives on landscape and early farming in the Slemani district. R.J. Braidwood proposed a conception about primitive farming in the Zagros region as “simple rain-fed farming along the hilly flanks.” However, we may get results that are more fruitful if we investigate a series of archaeological sites while adding to new perspectives and the concept of “more complicated farming using springs in the water reservoir area.” |
