Journal of Greek Archaeology
ISSN: 2059-4674 (print); 2059-4682 (online)
A new international journal launching in Autumn 2016. The scope of this journal is Greek archaeology both in the Aegean and throughout the wider Greek-inhabited world, from earliest Prehistory to the Modern Era. The editorial board is headed by Prof. John Bintliff (Edinburgh University, U.K. and Leiden University, The Netherlands). Email: johnlbintliff@gmail.com
Journal of Hellenistic Pottery and Material Culture
For the Hellenistic Period ceramics and other commodities of daily life represent probably the most neglected objects in archaeological research. Yet, apart from monographs, the publication of conference proceedings, which usually follow several years after the event, have remained the principal method of disseminating research results. Still lacking is a publication appearing regularly and at short intervals, that focusses research on Hellenistic pottery and is easily accessible. The Journal of Hellenistic Pottery – JHP – wants to close this gap.

Pages 297-307.
The view of historical developments within the area of Idu, identified with Sâtu Qalâ on the Lower Zāb in Iraqi Kurdistan, and its hinterland have so far been closely connected to available information on the imperial expansion of Assyria in the region.

The temple- or house-like tomb no. 36 is situated in the centre of so-called ‘Valley of the Tombs’. It is the largest representative of this palace-like type of tombs at Palmyra. The architectural decoration of the building allows a dating to about 210 to 230 AD. Furthermore the tomb can be attributed probably to the family of the famous Iulius Septimius Aurelius Vorodes.

Drawing from object-oriented ontologies and other ‘new materialisms,’ this book constructs a hylocentric anti-narrative spreading from the Cretaceous to the contemporary.
