Glazed bricks applied as a new form of colourful and glossy architectural
decor first started to appear in the early Iron Age on monumental buildings
of the Ancient Near East. It surely impressed the spectators then as it does
the museum visitors today. Glazed Brick
Decoration in the Ancient Near East comprises the proceedings of a
workshop held at the 11th International Congress of the Archaeology of the
Ancient Near East (ICAANE) at Munich
in April 2018, organised by the editors. Over the last decade excavations
have supplied new evidence from glazed bricks that once decorated the facades
of the Ancient Near East’s public buildings during the Iron Age (1000–539 BC)
and especially significant progress has been achieved from revived work on
glazed bricks excavated more than a century ago which today are kept in
various museum collections worldwide. Since the latest summarising works on
Ancient Near Eastern glazed architectural décors have been published several
decades ago and in the meantime considerable insight into the subject has
been gained, this volume aims to provide an updated overview of the
development of glazed bricks and of the scientific research on the Iron Age
glazes. Furthermore, it presents the on-going research on this topic and new
insights into glazed bricks from Ashur, Nimrud,
Khorsabad, and Babylon.

Different Times? Archaeological and environmental
data from intra-site and off-site sequences brings together seven
papers from Session II-8 of the XVIII UISPP Congress (Paris, 4-9 June 2018).
The session questioned temporal correlations between intra-site and off-site
data in archaeology-related contexts. The word ‘site’ describes here
archaeological sites or groups of sites – usually settlements – that have
undergone research in recent years and produced information on the duration
and timing of human presence. Comparison with evidence from geomorphological
and paleoenvironmental research conducted at various distances from
settlements gives some interesting results, such as ‘missing’ occupation
periods, distortions in human presence intensity through space as well as
time, variability in explanations concerning the abandonment of settlements,
etc. Examples presented here highlight: first, discrepancies between time
records within built areas used for living and the surrounding lands used for
other activities (cultivation, herding, travelling, etc); second,
discrepancies produced by the use of different ‘time markers’ (ie.
chronostratigraphy of archaeological layers or pottery evolution on the one
hand, sedimentary or pollen sequences on the other hand). Although improving
the resolution of individual data is essential, the authors argue that the
joint and detailed examination of evidence produced together by human and
natural scientists is more important for reaching a reliable reconstruction
of past people’s activities. Both the session and the volume stem from the
Working Group ‘Environmental and Social Changes in the Past’ (Changements environnementaux et sociétés dans le
passé) in the research framework of the Cluster of Excellence
‘Dynamite’ (Territorial and Spatial
Dynamics) of the University Paris 1-Panthéon-Sorbonne
(ANR-11-LABX-0046, Investissements
d’Avenir).

This volume presents the proceedings of Session XXVIII-4 of the XVIII UISPP
World Congress (4-9 June 2018, Paris, France), Caractérisation, continuités et discontinuités des manifestations
graphiques des sociétés préhistoriques. Papers address the
question of exchange and mobility in prehistoric societies in relation to the
evolution of their environments through the prism of their graphic
productions, on objects or on walls. This volume offers the opportunity to
question their symbolic behaviours within very diverse temporal,
chrono-cultural or geographic contexts. It also provides the framework for a
discussion on cultural identity and how this was asserted in the face of
environmental or social changes or constraints.
French Description
La session du XVIIIème congrès de l’UIPP intitulée « caractérisation, continuités et discontinuités des manifestations
graphiques des sociétés préhistoriques » aborde la question des
échanges et de la mobilité des sociétés préhistoriques, en prise avec
l’évolution de leurs milieux, à travers le prisme de leurs productions
graphiques, sur objets ou sur parois. Ce volume offre l’occasion de
questionner leurs comportements symboliques, au sein de contextes temporels,
chrono-culturels ou géographiques très divers. Il offre aussi le cadre d’une
discussion sur l’identité culturelle et de la façon dont ils l’ont affirmée,
face aux changements ou aux contraintes environnementales ou sociales.
Propulseurs décorés au Magdalénien, ou objets en ivoire du Gravettien,
témoignent tour à tour de permanences techniques ou symboliques, et en même
temps de singularités locales à l’échelle de l’Europe. La notion d’identité
culturelle est abordée à travers la production singulière de l’art mobilier
du Taillis des Côteaux, ou de la thématique, rare mais pas secondaire, du
félin dans l’art pariétal et mobilier, illustrant des frontières souvent
ténues entre sphères fonctionnelle et symbolique. Enfin, la relation entre
l’art et son environnement se décline sur des territoires rupestres plus
récents mais tout aussi remarquables, le Bassin parisien au Mésolithique, et
l’Egypte prédynastique. Les articles de cette session montrent ainsi comment
les systèmes de pensées exprimés par des images peuvent ainsi perdurer sur le
temps long, et témoigner de pratiques sociales élaborées, dont les rythmes ne
sont pas toujours en adéquation avec les productions matérielles du
quotidien.

Pre and Protohistoric Stone Architectures:
Comparisons of the Social and Technical Contexts Associated to Their Building
presents the papers from Session XXXII-3 of the XVIII UISPP Congress (Paris,
4-9 June 2018). This session took place within the commission concerned with
the European Neolithic. While most of the presentations fell within that
chronological period and were concerned with the Atlantic coast and the
Mediterranean basin, wider geographical and chronological comparisons were
also included. This volume aims to break the usual limits on the fields of
study and to deconstruct some preconceived ideas. New methods developed over
the past ten years bring out new possibilities regarding the study of such
monuments, and the conference proceedings open up unexpected and promising
perspectives. This volume is a parallel text edition in English and French.

Aristotle’s Μετεωρολογικά concentrates on the meteorological aspects of
Aristotle’s work published as Meteorologica
(Μετεωρολογικά or Meteorology) books A-D, and on how they compare now
with our understanding of meteorology and climate change. In other words, how
well did Aristotle fair when he tried to explain weather 2,300 years ago when
there was only logic, eye observation, and past experience, with only
primitive instrumentation and a few personalized measurements? While there
are scientific issues behind Aristotle’s writings, this book is written for
the non-specialist. The book uses simple examples to present its case, which
will be easily followed by general readers.

Engraved Gems and Propaganda in the Roman Republic
and under Augustus deals with small, but highly captivating and
stimulating artwork – engraved gemstones. Although in antiquity intaglios and
cameos had multiple applications (seals, jewellery or amulets), the images
engraved upon them are snapshots of people's beliefs, ideologies, and
everyday occupations. They cast light on the self-advertising and propaganda
actions performed by Roman political leaders, especially Octavian/Augustus,
their factions and other people engaged in the politics and social life of
the past.
Gems can show both general trends (the specific showpieces like State Cameos)
as well as the individual and private acts of being involved in politics and
social affairs, mainly through a subtle display of political allegiances, since
they were objects of strictly personal use. They enable us to analyse and
learn about Roman propaganda and various social behaviours from a completely
different angle than coins, sculpture or literature.
The miniaturism of ancient gems is in inverse proportion to their cultural
significance. This book presents an evolutionary model of the use of engraved
gems from self-presentation (3rd-2nd century BC) to personal branding and
propaganda purposes in the Roman Republic and under Augustus (until 14 AD). The
specific characteristics of engraved gems, their strictly private character
and the whole array of devices appearing on them are examined in respect to
their potential propagandistic value and usefulness in social life.
The wide scope of this analysis provides a comprehensive picture covering
many aspects of Roman propaganda and a critical survey of the
overinterpretations of this term in regard to the glyptic art. The aim is the
incorporation of this class of archaeological artefacts into the well-established
studies of Roman propaganda, as well as the Roman society in general, brought
about by discussion of the interconnections with ancient literary sources as
well as other categories of Roman art and craftsmanship, notably coins but
also sculpture and relief.
About the Author
Paweł Gołyźniak works as a
Research Fellow in the Institute of Archaeology, Jagiellonian University in
Krakow. His research interests include engraved gems (ancient and
neo-classical), Roman Republican and Augustan numismatics, history of
antiquarianism, collecting and scholarship as well as 18th century drawings
of intaglios and cameos and the legacy of antiquary and connoisseur Philipp
von Stosch (1691-1757).

Hafit period at Al-Khashbah, Sultanate of Oman: results of four years of
excavations and material studies by Conrad Schmidt & Stephanie Döpper.
Pages 265-274 from Proceedings of the
Seminar for Arabian Studies Volume 49 2019 edited by Daniel
Eddisford. PSAS49 2019. ![Download Full PDF]()
Al-Khashbah, located approximately 17 km north of the modern city of Sināw,
is one of the largest Early Bronze Age sites in the Sultanate of Oman. The
University of Tübingen has carried out excavations at the site during the last
four years (2015–2018), revealing a significant amount of Hafit-period
architecture and finds, including a mud-brick complex (Building I) and a
stone tower (Building V). Building I dates to around 2800 cal. BC and has
provided evidence of bead and chipped stone workshops. Its layout is
comparable to the contemporaneous tower at Hili 8, Phase I. Building V
yielded the oldest substantial evidence of copper processing in Oman, dating
to the end of the fourth millennium, around 3200 cal. BC. Thus, the archaeological
record in Oman can now corroborate archaic texts from Uruk in southern
Mesopotamia that mention copper objects from the Gulf. This paper presents
the preliminary results of the study of the architecture, metallurgy,
lithics, ground-stone tools, and anthracological material from Al-Khashbah.
These diverse strands of evidence offer valuable insights into the
Hafit-period economy, environment, and lifestyle at Al-Khashbah.

The Antonine Wall, the Roman frontier in Scotland, was the most northerly
frontier of the Roman Empire for a generation from AD 142. It is a World
Heritage Site and Scotland’s largest ancient monument. Today, it cuts across
the densely populated central belt between Forth and Clyde.
In this volume, nearly 40 archaeologists, historians and heritage managers
present their researches on the Antonine Wall in recognition of the work of
Lawrence Keppie, formerly Professor of Roman History and Archaeology at the
Hunterian Museum, Glasgow University, who spent much of his academic career
recording and studying the Wall. The 32 papers cover a wide variety of
aspects, embracing the environmental and prehistoric background to the Wall,
its structure, planning and construction, military deployment on its line,
associated artefacts and inscriptions, the logistics of its supply, as well
as new insights into the study of its history. Due attention is paid to the
people of the Wall, not just the officers and soldiers, but their womenfolk
and children.
Important aspects of the book are new developments in the recording,
interpretation and presentation of the Antonine Wall to today's visitors.
Considerable use is also made of modern scientific techniques, from pollen,
soil and spectrographic analysis to geophysical survey and airborne laser
scanning. In short, the papers embody present-day cutting edge research on,
and summarise the most up-to-date understanding of, Rome's shortest-lived
frontier.
The editors, Professors Bill Hanson and David Breeze, who themselves
contribute several papers to the volume, have both excavated sites on, and
written books about, the Antonine Wall.

Approaches to the Analysis of Production
Activity at Archaeological Sites presents the proceedings of an
international and interdisciplinary workshop held in Berlin in 2018, which
brought together scholars whose work focusses on manufacturing activities
identified at archaeological sites. The various approaches presented here
include new excavation techniques, ethnographic research, archaeometric
approaches, GIS and experimental archaeology as well as theoretical issues
associated with how researchers understand production in the past. These
approaches are applied to research questions related to various technological
and socio-economic aspects of production, including the organisation and
setting of manufacturing activities, the access to and use of raw materials,
firing structures and other production-related installations. The chapters
discuss production activities in various domestic and institutional contexts
throughout the ancient world, together with the production and use of tools
and other items made of stone, bone, ceramics, glass and faience. Since
manufacturing activities are encountered at archaeological sites on a regular
basis, the wide range of materials and approaches presented in this volume
provides a useful reference for scholars and students studying technologies
and production activities in the past.

Procopius’ History of the Wars,
and the Strategikon offer important
aspects of Eastern Roman military tactical changes adopted against their
enemies that brought the mounted archer-lancer to domineer in the synthesis
of the army, along with concise descriptions of their training, panoply, and
effectiveness in the battlefield during the later ProtoByzantine period. Yet,
evidence in the archaeo-anthropological records of these highly specialized
military members has remained elusive.
A recent archaeological discovery at the strategically positioned, upland,
site of Paliokastro in Thasos island, Greece, and the subsequent study of the
human skeletal remains interred in four monumental funerary contexts, in a
dedicated naiskos building,
provide for the first time through the archaeological record of the region a
unique insight of the mounted archers and their female kin during the
turbulent ProtoByzantine period. The interdisciplinary study of the
anthropological materials focusing on skeletal developmental, acquired
skeleto-muscular manifestations and skeleto-anatomical changes recovered
valuable evidentiary data on aspects of their in vivo long-term training and preparation, traumatisms
and pathologies along with extraordinary traces of cranial and infra-cranial
surgical interventions and medical regimens by the hands of a most
experienced surgeon.
In conjunction with the archaeological and anthropological evidence,
historical and medical history records are integrated aiming toward a nexus
with the human dynamics that transpired at Paliokastro within the context of
the catastrophic consequences of the ‘barbarian’ invasions in the Aegean
Thraco-Macedonia, and the ravages afforded by the Justinian plague during the
later component of the ProtoByzantine period.

of Manqabad A Selected Catalogue of the

Pottery of Manqabad presents a
catalogue of selected pottery from the monastic site of Manqabad (Asyut,
Egypt), which has, since 2011, been the object of an ongoing study and
conservation project at the University of Naples ‘L’Orientale’ (UNIOR). The
ceramic material, dated to the Late Antique Period, derives mostly from the
SCA warehouse of el-Ashmunein, where it was kept soon after its accidental
discovery in 1965. About 40 items derive from the surface collection and
survey conducted on the site during the last fieldwork season (2018). The
typologies identified include the most relevant Byzantine classes and a
particular link with production from the Middle Egypt region. Part of the
field survey was devoted to the analysis of the pottery material still in situ, found in the Northern Sector of
the site where a 230m long row of monastic housing units is located. Further
investigations will hopefully support the hypothesis of a local pottery
production area, which could be identified in a large ‘dump’ at the southern
end of the site. More generally, the analysis of the ceramics from Manqabad
has underlined the undoubtedly high cultural level of the local monastic
community, which can be deduced also from the textual, architectural and wall
depiction evidence from the site. Manqabad was largely unknown to the
scientific community, but since the first season of work by the
Italian-Egyptian project, it has emerged as an important venue for the
religious development of Coptic culture between the second half of the Vth to
the end of the VIII- early IXth century AD.
