Power and Politics in the Neo-Elamite Kingdom (c. 1100-520 BC) documents one of the most obscure episodes in the political history of ancient southwestern Iran. Elam's strategic position between the Mesopotamian alluvial plain, the Persian Gulf and the Iranian highlands made it a target for territorial expansion of the Neo-Assyrian empire. However, the ability of the Neo-Elamite kings to engage in a political alliance with the Neo-Babylonian kingdom, the flexibility of the Neo-Elamite government system and the dynamics between the various ethnic and social groups living within the multiple valleys of Elam protected the Elamite heartland for centuries against the continuous military threat. Elam became an indisputable partner in an inter-regional network of Mesopotamian states until the emergence of the Persian empire reshaped the political landscape of the Ancient Near East. By re-evaluating the dynastic lineage of Neo-Elamite kings, the geopolitical power of the Neo-Elamite kingdom and the (trans-)formation the Elamite government system in the 1st millennium BC through written and archaeological evidence, this book aims to improve our understanding of the last centuries of Elam.

"The present volume, based on a conference on Ancient Near Eastern historical geography and toponymy held at the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium) on 27-28 February 2014, brings together 12 contributions by Belgian and international specialists on various aspects of this field of research. They deal with the entire Ancient Near East (Anatolia, Levant, Mesopotamia and Iran). Chronologically, the various contributions in the volume discuss topics situated in the 3rd, 2nd and 1st Millennia BC. The articles in this volume are arranged geographically, starting with items on Anatolia, followed by studies on Mesopotamian and Levantine topography and finally a third part on ancient Iran and Elam. They will doubtlessly demonstrate the high importance of the study of historical geography and toponymy for our understanding of the history of the Ancient Near East and will also stimulate the research on the historical geography of the ancient Near East."--

Le mémoire relatera l'histoire de l'Elam pendant la période néo-élamite (c. 1000-521 av. J.-C.). Elam est situé dans le sud-ouest de l'Iran contemporain dans les provinces de Khuzestân et Fars. Le but de cette recherche consiste à déterminer les frontières du royaume néo-élamite sur base des sources archéologiques. Si une région n'avait pas de résultats archéologiques, on a consulté les sources iconographiques (seaux-cylindres, reliefs rupestres) et les sources textuelles (inscriptions royales, textes économiques). On pourrait distinguer les vallées de Susiane autour de Susse, la capitale néo-élamite. En plus, on a retrouvé des épreuves d'une culture matérielle néo-élamite dans les régions de Ram Hormuz, Malamir, Behbahan and Mamasani. Dans la plaine du fleuve Kur avec le centre médio-élamite d'Anshan, les fouilles ne donnent pas des résultats décisifs. Les prochaines fouilles doivent déterminer si le territoire d'Anshan fait partie du royaume néo-élamite.
