"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia Agriculture was the main economic activity in ancient Mesopotamia. Operating under harsh constraints, notably the arid climate and the poor soil, the Mesopotamian farmers developed effective strategies that enabled them to support the development of the first states, the first cities, and then the first known empires, under the supervision of the institutions which dominated the economy: the royal and provincial palaces, the temples, and the domains of the elites. They focussed above all on the cultivation of cereals (particularly barley) and sheep farming, but also farmed legumes, as well as date palms in the south

21015002

and grapes in the north. In reality there were two types of Mesopotamian agriculture, corresponding to the two main ecological domains, which largely overlapped with cultural distinctions. The agriculture of southern or Lower Mesopotamia, the land of Sumer and Akkad, which later became Babylonia received almost no rain and required large scale irrigation works which were supervised by temple estates, but could produce high returns. The agriculture of Northern or Upper Mesopotamia, the land that would eventually become Assyria, had enough rainfall to allow dry agriculture most of the time, so that irrigation and large institutional estates were less important,

21015003

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

but the returns were also usually lower. In the absence of excavations of rural contexts, our knowledge of the agriculture of ancient Mesopotamia is mostly based on ancient texts, notably documents concerning the sale of fields, rental contracts, loans for agricultural purposes, and the administrative documents from the archives of the palaces and temples of Mesopotamian cities. The economic organisation of these activities is thus very well documented, while actual agricultural practice is less well known and there is still much uncertainty. The land of Mesopotamia is not very favourable to the development of agriculture, especially the southern half, which

21015004

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

is very arid and has poor soil quality. But the man-made infrastructure took advantage of some of the potential of this space (large rivers and broad, flat plains) to counter these issues and make lower Mesopotamia one of the most productive agricultural areas in the ancient world. In the north, the uncertainties of production were greater, as a result of the fluctuation of the climate year by year. There were, as a result, many systems of agricultural land, reflecting the diversity of ancient Mesopotamian agriculture. The natural context of ancient Mesopotamia was little different from modern conditions in this region,

21015005

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

although some changes have occurred over the intervening millennia (changing course of the river, retreat of the sea shore, deforestation). It is clear that, in addition to having developed one of the most prosperous agricultural systems of the ancient world, the societies of ancient Mesopotamia had had to do so under harsh constraints: rivers whose patterns had little relation to the growth cycle of domesticated cereals; a hot, dry climate with brutal interannual variations; generally thin and saline soil. "A priori", the conditions in the north were more favourable than in the south, because the soil was more fertile and

21015006

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

the rainfall was hig enough for agriculture without irrigation. But the scale of the rivers in the south and the flat plains which made it easy to cut irrigation channels and put large areas under cultivation gave undeniable advantages to the development of productive irrigated farms - at the cost of constant labour. The two main watercourses of Mesopotamia, which give the region its name, are the Euphrates and the Tigris, which flow from Anatolia to the Persian Gulf. The Euphrates is around 2,800 km long and the Tigris is about 1,900 km. Their regime is of the pluvio-nival type,

21015007

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

with high flow in spring as a result of melting snow and when rains fall in Upper Mesopotamia. This is more accentuated with the Tigris, which receives several tributaries from the Zagros during the second part of its course, while the Euphrates has only a minor tributaries in Upper Mesopotamia. Thus its output is weaker, especially since it crosses flatter areas and has a wide bend in Syria which slows its flow. Floods of the rivers thus take place in spring - in April for the Tigris and in May for the Euphrates (shortly after or during the harvest). Their

21015008

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

baseflow occurs in summer at the time of greatest heat, when evapotranspiration is very high, especially in the south. The variability of flow rate over the year is very great - up to 4:1. The discharge of the Euphrates and its floods were weaker than those of the Tigris, so it was on particularly on its banks that agricultural communities of southern Mesopotamia focused. In this region, the ground is very flat, leading to bifurcation, which results in islands and marshes, as well as sudden changes of course, which occurred several times in antiquity. Both rivers carry silt which raised

21015009

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

them above the level of the surrounding plain, making it easy to irrigate the land surrounding them. However, it also meant that their floods had the potential to cause serious damage and could cover a vast area. The flatness of the region also meant that the phreatic zone and the stream bed were very close, causing them to rise in periods of flooding. In modern times, the Tigris and Euphrates join together to form the Shatt al-Arab which then debouches in the Persian Gulf, but in antiquity, their delta did not reach so far south, because it was created slowly

21015010

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

by the deposition of alluvium. Other watercourses in Mesopotamia are the rivers that flow into the Tigris and Euphrates. The tributaries of the former originate in the Zagros; from north to south they are the Great Zab, the Little Zab, and Diyala. Their courses have a rapid flow, on account of the steep relief and the gorges through which they flow, as well as the snow melt in spring which leads to large floods in April/May. They carry a large amount of the alluvium which ends up in the Tigris. The Euphrates has two tributaries which meet it in southern

21015011

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

Jazirah: the Balikh and the Khabur. Both have weak flow (especially the former which is nearly dry in summer) and are themselves fed variably by several wadis. The terrain of Mesopotamia is mostly flat, consisting of floodplains and plateaus. It is bordered by high mountains on the eastern side - the Zagros range, which is pierced by deep valleys and canyons with a northwest-southeast orientation (Great Zab, Little Zab, Diyala) - and by smaller mountains and volcanoes in Upper Mesopotamia (Kawkab, Tur Abdin, Jebel Abd-el-Aziz, Sinjar, Mount Kirkuk). Essentially, Upper Mesopotamia consists of plateaus which are slightly inclined to the

21015012

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

east, rising from 200-500 m in altitude, and which are now known as Jazirah (from the Arabic, "al-jazayra", 'the island'). Thus, the rivers flow through valleys which are 1-10 km wide. The southern half of Mesopotamia, which is the part properly called Mesopotamia from a geophysical point of view, since it is where the Tigris and Euphrates flow close to one another, is a vast plain, which is 150-200 km wide and has only a very slight incline, decreasing to the south until it is nearly non-existent. This encourages the development of river braiding, sudden changes of course, and the

21015013

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

establishment of marshy areas.. The climate of Mesopotamia is characterised by very sunny, hot, dry summers, during which evapotranspiration is very high, and by relatively cold winters, with short intermediate seasons between them. Precipitation is generally weak: on average the dry season last six months each year in the north and nine months or more in the south. The north is mostly a semi-arid zone, receiving at least 200-400 mm of rain per year, while the south is truly arid and receives less than 200 mm of annual rainfall. However, these averages mask interannual variation in temperature and especially rainfall

21015014

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

which can be very significant. As far as agriculture is concerned, it is generally estimated that an average of 200 mm of annual rainfall is required for a dry agriculture regime in which rainfall alone suffices to ensure the growth of plants - at least those resistant to aridity like barley. This is the case in the Upper Jazirah in an average year and in the Lower Jazirah in a good year, but in fact there is a great deal of local variation which creates water scarcity in these regions. In those years in which spring and autumn are very

21015015

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

short, the life cycle of the plants is too slow to assure good crops. In the more arid areas of Lower Jazirah and Lower Mesopotamia, precipitation is below 200 mm and often only occurs in the form of sudden storms or showers. There the life cycle of the plants is very limited in a natural state and the support of irrigation is necessary to ensure agricultural yields. On the other hand, it is in southern Mesopotamia that date palms can be cultivated, which flourish in hot climates and saline soil. The soil in Mesopotamia is mostly of the sort that

21015016

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

is normal in arid climates: a shallow layer on top of the bedrock which is not very fertile. They are generally composed of limestone or gypsum with nutritive elements which enable plant growth, but have only a narrow layer in which the roots can grow. Deeper soil is found in the valleys and culverts of Upper Jazirah. In the more arid areas of Lower Jazirah and Lower Mesopotamia by contrast, the soil is generally sparse and very shallow (solonchak and fluvisol types) and mostly composed of gypsum. They degrade easily and irrigation accelerates both their erosion and their salinisation. However,

21015017

"Agriculture in ancient Mesopotamia"

the poverty and fragility of the soils of Southern Mesopotamia are largely compensated for by sheer area of flat land available for irrigation. In the north by contrast, there is better soil, but less land and there is more risk arising from the variation in precipitation.

Shinchi Shell Mound - Tenagamyō Jinja Site The site is located in a rural area near the Pacific Ocean. The shell midden attracted attention from archaeologists in the Meiji period and initial excavations were conducted in 1890 and in 1924 by Tokyo Imperial University. In addition to the expected shells and animal and fish bones, the midden was found to contain a unique design of pottery with ruffled decoration which was dubbed "Shichi-style pottery". The shell midden dates from approximately 4000 years ago. A small Shinto shrine existed next to the shell midden until the Meiji period. The "kami" worshipped

polymers, which allows control of the quantum dot toxicity. As a model for tissue localisation following intradermal infiltration, Colvin studied how quantum dots migrate in mice. She found that 1D quantum dots remain as a deposit on the skin and penetrate the nearby subcutis and were distributed to draining lymph nodes. She bound quantum dots to gold nanoparticles with a peptide sequence, which suppresses luminescence; allowing the combination to be used as probes for targeted degradation. She investigated how the shape of quantum dots impacted their function and toxicity. She demonstrated that weathering quantum dots in acidic and alkaline conditions
