The Siddi Plateau settlement system was previously documented by Giovanni Lilliu in 1941 with the goal of creating a general classification of its sixteen nuraghi and one giants’ tomb. PSLP surveyed the giants’ tomb and eight of the sixteen nuraghi with the goal of evaluating Lilliu’s typology. PSLP found that Lilliu’s typology requires significant revisions that may have implications for the development of the Nuragic culture in the Siddi area. This article presents the methodology and results of the Pran’e Siddi Landscape Project and proposes revisions to Lilliu’s typology.

First reported in the 19th century but never accurately documented, unfortunately two of the three known reliefs were intentionally damaged beyond repair in the decades to follow. This article presents a new art-historical analysis of the preserved third relief as well as a fourth previously unknown carving, based on recent photogrammetric capture. The images can be dated to the Early Dynastic III or Early Akkadian period with motifs, stylistic details and a composition obviously deriving from then-contemporaneous art in southern Mesopotamia.

In front of the Mosul Gate there are two rock-reliefs depicting larger than life figures in traditional Parthian dress. This article presents detailed illustrations of these sculptures, using digital photogrammetry to enhance eroded features.
