SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Past archaeological research in the fluvial landscapes of southern Iraq and southwestern Iran has suggested that the increasing consolidation of power under centralized territorial states sets the stage for a remarkable expansion of irrigation infrastructure. The subject of Sasanian irrigation has been pivotal in this argument. Archaeologists have argued that the centralized power and bureaucratic apparatus of the Sasanian empire enabled the expansion of waterworks and intensification of irrigation agriculture on an unprecedented scale. After the Islamic conquest, the extensive Sasanian systems collapsed or declined, further confirming that the centralized power of states and empires enabled the construction and operation of the large-scale canal systems. A similar trajectory has been postulated for the irrigation history on the Miyanab: construction of a monumental canal system, the Gargar and associated headworks, under the patronage of the Sasanian state and an eventual collapse of irrigation after the conquest.
