Description

This study proposes a re-definition of the absolute chronology for the 4th and 3rd millennium in the Southern Caucasus, with particular regard to the Kura-Araxes culture. An overview of the history of research demonstrates how the fragmentation of archaeological practice has long challenged the completion of a comprehensive chronological study based on both absolute and relative archaeological data. In this work, the two datasets were combined following the principles of Bayesian modelling. Firstly, existing radiocarbon dates were collected and characterised in relation to chrono-cultural phases and associated material assemblages. Secondly, all dates were scrutinised based on archaeological and analytical reliability criteria. Thirdly, the remaining dates were compiled within Bayesian models representative of the chrono-cultural scenario. Results of the modelling process led to the distinction of differing chronological trends within geographically distinct sub-regions of the Southern-Caucasus, as represented by the Kura (North) and Araxes (South) river valleys, which are naturally demarcated by the Lesser Caucasus Range. | Questo studio propone una ridefinizione della cronologia assoluta per il quarto e terzo millennio nel Caucaso Meridionale, con particolare riferimento alla cultura Kura-Araxes. Una panoramica della storia degli studi rivela come la frammentazione della ricerca archeologica abbia a lungo sfidato il completamento di uno studio cronologico basato su dati archeologici sia assoluti che relativi. In questo studio, i due gruppi di dati sono stati combinati seguendo i principi della statistica bayesiana. In primo luogo, le date radiocarboniche esistenti sono state raccolte e classificate in base alle fasi crono-culturali e ai materiali diagnostici ad esse associati. In secondo luogo, tutte le date sono state vagliate secondo criteri di attendibilità archeologica e analitica. In terzo luogo, le date selezionate sono state incluse in modelli bayesiani elaborati in coerenza con lo scenario crono-culturale ricostruito. I risultati del modello hanno portato alla distinzione di diverse tendenze cronologiche all’interno di regioni geograficamente distinte del Caucaso meridionale, le quali corrispondono alle valli dei fiumi Kura (Nord) e Araxex (Sud), che sono naturalmente delimitate dalla catena del Caucaso Minore.
