Ivana Puljiz (* 1987 in Sindelfingen , Baden-Württemberg ) is a German archaeologist from the Near East who specializes in the early history of the Orient .

Career

Ivana Puljiz studied Near Eastern Archeology and Ancient Near Eastern Philology at the University of Tübingen from 2008 to 2013 . During her studies she took part in the first excavations in Qatna , Syria , and wrote her master's thesis on the findings there . In the following years, Puljiz took part increasingly in excavations in Kurdish areas, for example in 2013 and 2014 in Dohuk province , 2015 and 2017 in Muqable and 2018 in Bassetki . This extensive archaeological work was made possible by a cooperation between the University of Tübingen and the Kurdistan Archeology Organization .

The excavation under their leadership by a German-Kurdish research group on the east bank of the Tigris in the Iraqi province of Dohuk met with public interest . The archaeologists uncovered a palace in the Kurdish town of Kemune, the outlines of which had only become visible when the water level in the Mosul reservoir fell . The palace dates from the time of the Mittani Empire , which existed in the 15th and 14th centuries BC and about which little is known so far. The team around Puljiz hopes that the finds will provide information about the way of life and culture of the Mittani.

From the crumbs of paint found, the excavation manager Puljiz concluded that the palace was not a large private villa, but the headquarters of an administration or local government. After translating Akkadian clay tablets , Puljiz and her colleagues assume that the palace was once built in the lost town of Zachiku in Mesopotamia.
