The book by Florian Janoscha Kreppner and Jochen Schmid is devoted to the documentation and systematic evaluation of all remains and architectural ruins from the excavation site. The study is concerned with the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the remains and the process of their formation, which includes detailed architectural analysis of the buildings, analysis of the context of all 750 written fragments as well as a context-sensitive evaluation of charcoal remains. German text.
English summary: The case of the Neo-Assyrian Empire represents one of the most striking turning points in the history of the ancient Mesopotamia. Previously, reports from northern Mesopotamia and the archaeological dates concerning this time period derived from them did not provide extensive information. With a new, archaeologically and stratigraphically oriented method of evaluation, as well as a component-specific method of architectural analysis, all of the archaeological and architectural finds of the Red House excavated between 1992 and 2010 were reconstructed in a deposition history as well as a history of the sites building and settlement. This extensive building has 85 rooms and 5 inner courts and is part of the archaeological site at Tell Sheik Hamad/Dur-Katlimmu, located in modern northeastern Syria, built in the time of the Assyrian king Assurbanipal (668-631 B.C.) and continued to the era of the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II in the middle of the fifth century B.C., the phase of the Achaemenid hegemony over the Near East. The building was continually occupied over the course of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, before it fell victim to a devastating fire, and thereafter, the people made part of the building habitable and lived in the ruin of a previously elite residence. The book by Florian Janoscha Kreppner and Jochen Schmid is devoted to the documentation and systematic evaluation of all remains and architectural ruins from the excavation site. The study is concerned with the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the remains and the process of their formation, which includes detailed architectural analysis of the buildings, analysis of the context of all 750 written fragments as well as a context-sensitive evaluation of charcoal remains. German description: Der Fall des Neuassyrischen Reiches stellt einen der markantesten Wendepunkte in der Geschichte des Alten Orients dar. Bislang lagen aus Nordmesopotamien Nachrichten und archaologische Daten uber die Zeit nach diesem Ereignis nur in sparlichem Umfang vor. Mit einer neuen, erdbefundorientierten stratigraphischen Auswertungsmethode sowie einer bauteilbezogenen Architekturanalyse wurden aus allen von 1992 bis 2010 ausgegrabenen Erd- und Architekturbefunden des Roten Hauses eine Erdablagerungsgeschichte sowie eine Bau- und Besiedlungsentwicklung rekonstruiert. Die Nutzung des an dem im heutigen Nordostsyrien befindlichen Fundort Tall Seh Hamad/Dur-Katlimmu gelegenen, 85 Raume und 5 Innenhofe umfassenden Gebaudes beginnt in der Zeit des assyrischen Konigs Assurbanipal (668-631 v.Chr.) und reicht uber die Ara des babylonischen Konigs Nebukadnezar II. bis in die Mitte des 5. Jhs. v.Chr., die Phase der achamenidischen Vorherrschaft uber den Vorderen Orient. Das Gebaude wurde kontinuierlich uber den Fall des Neuassyrischen Reiches hinweg bewohnt, bevor es einer Brandzerstorung zum Opfer fiel. Danach machten die Menschen Teile des Gebaudes wieder bewohnbar und lebten fortan in den Ruinen der ehemaligen Eliteresidenz. Der Band von Florian Janoscha Kreppner und Jochen Schmid ist der Dokumentation und der systematischen Auswertung aller in der Ausgrabung erhobenen Erd- und Architekturbefunde gewidmet. Er beinhaltet die qualitative und quantitative Analyse der Erdbefunde und ihrer Formationsprozesse, die detaillierte Architekturanalyse des Bauwerks, die Fundkontextanalyse aller 750 Schriftfundfragmente sowie eine kontextbezogene Auswertung samtlicher Holzkohlefunde.
