Of the major cultural entities involved in these far-reaching events, Elam has long remained the least understood. The essays contained in this book are part of a continuing reassessment of the nature and significance of Elam in the early 1st millennium B.C., with a focus on the relationship between “Elamite” culture of the Neo-Elamite period and the emerging “Persian” culture in southwestern Iran in the 7th and 6th centuries B.C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe conception of this volume goes back to the 2003 meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Research that took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where two sessions were dedicated to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Iran. It was also the first time that Iranian archaeology was represented at ASOR since the Iranian Revolution. This volume contains 14 contributions by leading scholars in the discipline, organized into 3 sections: archaeology, texts, and images (art history).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume is richly illustrated with more than 200 drawings and photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/i\u003e Javier Álvarez-Mon, Mark Garrison, and David Stronach\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Archaeology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Note on the Limits of Anšan\u003c\/i\u003e D.
