This description board belongs to the display case for the Gırnavaz Höyük Excavation, an important archaeological site located in the Nusaybin district of Mardin, Turkey. The artifact and info panel setup can be seen at the Mardin Museum.
The text outlines key historical periods, excavation findings, and ancient burial customs discovered at the mound:
⏳ Historical Eras & Timeline
The site shows continuous settlement layers stretching across several millennia:
• Late Uruk Period (3600–3100 BC): The earliest layer of permanent settlement discovered at the mound.
• Early Sumerian Period (2950–2300 BC)
• Assyrian Period (2000–550 BC)
• Mitannian Period (1550–1200 BC)
⚱️ Ancient Burial Practices
The primary focus of the visible text describes the unique family graves and ritual practices found at the site:
• Family Crypts: Many burials were located inside or around building structures, suggesting they served as multi-generational family tombs. When a new family member died, the bones of the previously buried individual were carefully pushed to the side or rearranged to make room.
• Layering & Protection: The remains were often covered with a layer of mud.
• Ritual Fire: Fires were lit directly over the graves. Archaeologists believe this was a spiritual ritual meant to ward off evil spirits from the living world.
• Funeral Feasts: Heavy evidence of food consumption around the burial zones points to communal funeral feasts. These gatherings included food offerings left inside the grave for the deceased to use in the afterlife.
🪔 Shown Artifacts
The pottery display directly beneath the text showcases various geometric, spouted, and round-bottomed terracotta jars, cups, and storage vessels dating back to these Bronze Age and Iron Age layers.
(Note: The small card on the right mentions a local legend regarding the mound—it states that Gırnavaz Höyük is locally believed by some to be named after or connected to the famous classical Arabic poet Abu Nuwas).

这段展览板介绍的是关于 Gırnavaz Höyük（吉尔纳瓦兹土丘）考古发掘 的内容，该遗址位于土耳其马尔丁省（Mardin）的努赛宾区（Nusaybin）。
展板文字详细阐述了该遗址的历史年代、发掘成果以及独特的远古墓葬习俗：
⏳ 历史时期与时间线
该遗址展现了跨越数千年的连续定居文化层：
• 乌鲁克晚期（公元前 3600–3100 年）： 遗址中发现的最早的永久定居点遗存。
• 苏美尔早期（公元前 2950–2300 年）
• 亚述时期（公元前 2000–550 年）
• 米坦尼时期（公元前 1550–1200 年）
⚱️ 远古墓葬习俗
展板的核心文字描述了在该遗址发现的独特家族墓葬与祭祀仪式：
• 家族合葬墓： 许多坟墓位于建筑房屋的内部或周围，表明它们属于同一个家族。当有新的家族成员去世时，前一个死者的骨骸会被小心地推到一旁或重新排列，以便为新葬者腾出空间。
• 封土保护： 遗体入葬后，通常会覆盖一层泥土。
• 祭祀之火： 人们会在坟墓上方点燃火焰。考古学家认为这是一种精神仪式，旨在驱逐来自阴间的恶灵，保护阳世之人。
• 丧宴与供品： 墓区周围有大量进食的遗迹，表明当时有举行集体丧宴的习俗。这些仪式还包括将盛有食物的器皿作为供品留在墓内，供死者在死后世界使用。
🪔 展出文物
文字下方的展柜中陈列着各种带有几何纹路、带流（器嘴）以及圆底的陶罐、陶杯和储存器皿，均出自这些青铜时代和铁器时代的文化层。
(注：右侧的小卡片还提到了一则当地传说——它指出，部分当地人认为 Gırnavaz Höyük 的名字来源于著名的古典阿拉伯诗人 阿布·努瓦斯（Abu Nuwas） 或与其有关。)
