EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, dated 1849, depicts the camp of Sir Henry Layard, a renowned British archaeologist, situated near the ancient mound of Tell Afer in modern-day Iraq. The image provides a glimpse into the past, offering a visual representation of the living conditions during Layard's groundbreaking excavations in the region. Tell Afer, also known as Tell Afar or Tellafred, is an archaeological site located in the northern part of Iraq, near the Tigris River. Layard's camp is shown with several tents and a camel, emphasizing the nomadic lifestyle and the reliance on animals for transportation during archaeological expeditions. The recent excavations at Qermez Dere, visible in the background, have uncovered compelling evidence of an early Aceramic Neolithic settlement. This discovery sheds light on the rich history of human habitation in the area, dating back to around 7000 BC. The Aceramic Neolithic period marks the transition from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic to the Pottery Neolithic era, making it a significant period in the development of human civilization. The engraving's historical significance lies in its documentation of Layard's expedition and the archaeological discoveries made in the region during the mid-19th century. This visual record serves as an essential reference for scholars and researchers studying the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Neolithic period.
