SCORE studies social contexts of rebellion in the early Islamic period, from the reign of ʿAbd al-Malik (c.692-705 CE) until the defeat of the last major ‘Alid revolts in c.815-816 CE. This ‘long 8th century CE’ (692-816 CE) saw a high frequency of rebellions across the entire Islamic Empire.

For that purpose it brings together archaeologists who investigate the 9th-12th centuries in Asia, in the Levant and Africa, and in Europe. Archaeological remains reflect networks, trade routes, centers and production sites, and thus the economic history of sites, regions and mega-regions. Whereas research areas in world archaeology are often defined by the imagined territories of empires or religions, in reality people and commodities traveled within and between the spatial and social dimensions that scholarly disciplines perceived. Through this workshop and the scholarly networks it promotes, we hope to advance a better historical understanding of the period’s economy and networks, the different methods of goods exchange, and the similarities and differences between the regions.

Zayd in Khurāsān in 125/743 as presented in the Ibn Aʿtham's Kitāb al-Futūḥ. Yaḥyā is the only son of Zayd b. ʿAlī who lead a rebellion of his own, which makes his rebellion a special case. Ibn Aʿtham’s work remains underutilised in the study of (Zaydī) rebellion and thus may offer new data.
