Vanhaverbeke, J. Poblome, M. Waelkens, F. Vermeulen, R. Brulet (eds.)
Thinking about Space, The potential of surface survey and contextual archaeology in the definition of space in Roman times.
Paperback, X 255 p., 5 colour ill., 210 x 295 mm, Languages: English. fine condition !!. ISBN 9782503513577. The incorporation of new provinces in the Roman Empire, both in the East and the West, coincides with marked changes in urban infrastructure and layout, and in rural settlement patterns, as is attested by numerous excavations and surveys.While scholars agree on the quantitative and qualitative transformation of cities and their territories, such as an increase in the number of monumental buildings and rural sites, a significantly higher degree of urbanization, a more sophisticated lifestyle etc., little research has been devoted to the ways in which these structures and sites, and their internal components, were organized spatially. The eleven papers presented in this volume result from workshops organized by the international, interdisciplinary ROCT-network (Roman Crafts and Trade). From a heterogeneous chronological and geographical background, the peer-reviewed collection of papers focuses on one central issue: the use of space in the Roman world. Space, on all sorts of levels, shapes human life, now as in the past. The edited volume contrasts two dimensions of space: the macro-scale at regional level and the micro-scale at local level. Moreover, the selected papers are written against a variety of methodological backgrounds and practices, including excavation and surveying strategies, contextual analysis and material culture studies. The variety of content, approaches and interpretation results from the conscious deliberation that this is the only possible way to think about space in the Roman world. The contributions cover the Roman world with its provinces, throughout the long period in history which can be considered Roman in each of the study areas.Frank Vermeulen is professor of Roman archaeology and of archaeological method at Ghent University. His research interests cover settlement history and landscape development in the western Mediterranean during Antiquity. Raymond Brulet est Professeur d'Archeologie nationale a l'Universite catholique de Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve). Il est specialise dans la periode de l'Antiquite tardive et dans le domaine de l'Archeometrie. Hannelore Vanhaverbeke is a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO-Belgium); she is the field director of the annual rural surveys near Sagalassos and teaches at the Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium). Jeroen Poblome is a research professor at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.

VONDSTEN UIT VUUR. ROMEINS GRAFVELD MET NEDERZETTINGSSPOREN AAN DE HOGE DIJKEN IN JABBEKE.
Paperback, 128p, throughout colour illustrations, 27x21cm., new. ISBN 9789076297439. Met "Vondsten uit vuur. Romeins grafveld met nederzettingssporen aan de Hoge Dijken in Jabbeke" stelt Raakvlak haar tweede boek voor. Het is de neerslag van de archeologische opgravingen die tussen 2006 en 2008 plaats vonden in de verkaveling tussen de Aartrijksesteenweg en de Hogedijkenstraat. In samenwerking met het VIOE, dat de aangetroffen crematieresten, de plantaardige en de dierlijke resten onderzoekt, en met Yann Hollevoet die voor de Raakvlakperiode heel wat onderzoek in de streek heeft gedaan, brengt Raakvlak het verhaal van een kleine nederzetting met grafveld uit de Romeinse tijd. Het is een mooi geillustreerd boek dat zowel de geinteresseerde leek als de wetenschapper aanspreekt. De eerste groep zal ongetwijfeld geboeid worden door de intrigerende informatie over het Romeinse grafveld: de aangetroffen resten, maar ook de gegevens over grafrituelen en het omgaan met de dood van onze verre voorvaders spreken tot de verbeelding. Tegelijkertijd wordt de wijze waarop de specialisten tot hun interpretaties van de vondsten zijn gekomen, belicht. Daarnaast verschaft het boek ook de gedetailleerde informatie die ervoor zal zorgen dat Jabbeke een plaats krijgt op de kaart van het wetenschappelijk onderzoek.

SFINX, DE WACHTERS VAN EGYPTE
softcover, 280 x 230mm., 272pp., 250 illustraties in kleur. ISBN 9789061536863. Van de grote sfinx in Giza en zijn raadsel bij Oedipus, tot de symbolistische sfinx van Fernand Khnopff of die bij Harry Potter, deze enigmatische figuur prikkelt in al zijn (of haar) gedaantes en gezichten onze verbeelding. De oorsprong van de wonderlijke iconografie is te vinden aan de oevers van de Nijl. Net als de obelisken en de piramides is de sfinx een bij uitstek Egyptisch voorwerp. Dit hybride wezen met een mensenhoofd en een leeuwenlichaam duikt plotseling op in het Oude Rijk, vanaf de 4e dynastie, een periode van grote vernieuwing. De monumentale sfinx van Giza is de vader van alle sfinxen. Hij werd ter plaatse uit de rotsen gehouwen. Het boek Sfinx ontsluiert zowel de stilistische evolutie als de mythe van de sfinx uit de Egyptische Oudheid. Aan de hand van sculpturen, wandfragmenten, sarcofagen, juwelen en gebruiksvoorwerpen uit de Egyptische Oudheid wordt een fascinerend beeld gegeven over de verschillende betekenissen die er schuilen achter deze mysterieuze creaties. Ruim 200 illustraties van werken uit het Louvre, het British Museum, het Fitzwilliam Museum te Cambridge, het Brooklyn en het Metropolitan Museum te New York, de Musea van Oudheidkunde van Turijn, Leiden, Berlijn, Leipzig, illustreren dit veelzijdige thema.

Zori, J. Byock (eds.)
Viking Archaeology in Iceland, Mosfell Archaeological Project.
Paperback, XXVI 256 pages ., 83 b/w ill. 10 colour ill. 17 maps, 23 graphs, 28 b/w tables, 216 x 280 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9782503544007. The Viking North Atlantic differs significantly from the popular image of violent raids and destruction characterizing the Viking Age in Northern Europe. In Iceland, Scandinavian seafarers discovered and settled a large uninhabited island. In order to survive and succeed, they adapted lifestyles and social strategies to a new environment. The result was a new society, the Icelandic Free State. This volume examines the Viking Age in Iceland through the discoveries and excavations of the Mosfell Archaeological Project (MAP) in Iceland?s Mosfell Valley. Directed by Professor Jesse Byock with Field Director Davide Zori, MAP brings together scholars and researchers from Iceland, Britain, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, and the United States. The Project incorporates the disciplines of archaeology, history, saga studies, osteology, zoology, paleobotany, genetics, isotope studies, place-names studies, environmental science, and historical architecture. The decade-long research of MAP has led to the discovery of an exceptionally well-preserved Viking chieftain?s farmstead, including a longhouse, a pagan cremation site, a conversion-era stave church, and a Christian graveyard. The research results presented here tell the story of how the Mosfell Valley developed from a ninth-century settlement of Norse seafarers into a powerful Icelandic chieftaincy of the Viking Age.

272 pagina?s. Hardcover. Fine copy. Including an index. 4to Illustrated. ISBN 9789081706346. Makelaar en fervent amateurarcheoloog Martien Weel (1935-2011) legde al rond 1950 de basis voor zijn eigen collectie bodemvondsten. In de periode waarin hij gewapend met schop, laarzen en (later) detector op pad ging, veranderde niet alleen het hobbygraven zelf, maar ook de manier waarop men naar deze liefhebberij keek. De vele vindplaatsen door grootschalig grondverzet, koerswijzigingen binnen de archeologie, de ontdekking van de metaaldetector, nieuwe wetgeving? Al die ontwikkelingen worden belicht in het boek.<br>Goed gevonden vormt een kleine geschiedenis van (amateur)archeologie in Nederland, maar vertelt bovenal het levensverhaal van een gelukkige graver. Ook bovengronds: alle vondsten werden met zorg gearchiveerd. De mooiste en meest bijzondere worden nu onthuld. Van munten, insignes en riembeslag tot steengoed, aardewerk, tegels en glas.<br> <br>Treed in Weels voetsporen en volg hem tijdens zijn zoektochten in onder meer Medemblik, Hoorn en Amsterdam. Hoe ging hij te werk? Waar werd gegraven? Wat is de geschiedenis van de vindplaatsen? Marleen Weel vertelt het levensverhaal van haar vader. Verschillende (amateur)-archeologen en andere verzamelaars onderzoeken de vondsten en het vinden door de jaren heen.

dents et les ossements humains Que mangeait-on au Moyen Age?
Hardcover. 188 p., 156 x 234 mm, Languages: French, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503511740. Les restes osseux et dentaires sont souvent les seuls temoins des populations humaines aujourd'hui disparues. Or, en raison meme des interactions entre son metabolisme et l'environnement, le squelette renferme de nombreuses informations concernant l'individu auquel il appartenait. Pour reconstituer l'alimentation des populations d'autrefois, on peut faire appel a differentes methodes de l'anthropologie physique. Certaines pathologies du squelette signalent des carences alimentaires. Les etudes de la carie et de l'usure dentaire informent sur l'alimentation ainsi que sur le mode de preparation de la nourriture. De leur cote, les analyses chimiques des os et des dents permettent notamment de distinguer l'origine terrestre ou marine, carnee ou vegetale d'une alimentation et de detecter des expositions a certains elements toxiques comme le plomb. Apres avoir rappele l'essentiel des connaissances sur la composition, les fonctions et le metabolisme des os et des dents, ce fascicule fait le point sur les principales methodes employees par les paleoanthropologues pour reconstituer les regimes alimentaires dans le passe. Il met ensuite l'accent sur l'obstacle majeur aux analyses chimiques des tissus calcifies : la contamination des ossements apres leur enfouissement. Enfin, il developpe les principaux objectifs poursuivis dans les etudes paleoalimentaires : la reconstitution des types d'aliments consommes, l'evolution des regimes et des comportements alimentaires au cours des temps, la mise en evidence de differences selon le sexe, l'age et la position sociale des individus. Certains echantillons permettent meme de diagnostiquer des types de carence et de cerner des pratiques de sevrage. Ni l'archeologie traditionnelle, ni l'archeozoologie n'ont traite avec autant de precision ces questions vitales.

Atlas of the Assyrian Pottery of the Iron Age
Paperback, VI 197 p., 73 b/w ill. 2 colour ill., 210 x 295 mm, 2010. ISBN 9782503532882. Assyrian pottery of the Iron Age is a very special topic in Near Eastern archaeology: it is widely diffused, related to the expansion of the first real "empire" in Western Asia, and it is well characterized as far as its typology, manufacturing and decoration are concerned. Especially from the VIII cent. BC, the Assyrian policy of settlement in the conquered regions led to a capillary occupation of most of the available landscapes in the provinces: the result is a large amount of excavations with materials dating to this period. The Atlas aims to develop a global typology that can be applied to the whole Assyrian repertory, in order to highlight the main types and to define their precise chronology and diffusion in the various regions conquered by Assyrians.

Amuq-Terrakotten. Untersuchungen zu den Terrakotta-Figuren des 2. und 1. Jahrtausends v. Chr. aus den Grabungen des Oriental Institute Chicago in der Amuq-Ebene
Paperback, VI 469 p., 639 b/w ill., 210 x 295 mm, 2010. New. ISBN 9782503535272. This volume presents 569 objects of baked clay from three sites in the Amuq Plain (southern Turkey). They were excavated in the 1930ies by a team from the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, directed by Robert J. Braidwood. Most of them were never published before. Their dates range from the late 3rd millennium BC until the Hellenistic period. The terra-cottas are presented in a catalogue, but also set in a frame of their cultural and artistic background. This book is thus not only a publication of material from the Amuq excavations, but also a history of 2nd and 1st millennium terra-cotta production in ancient Syria. The study of these figurines highlights the extent and limitations of iconographic influences from abroad and proves the continuity of images and beliefs across the borders of cultural periods.

Provinces et identites provinciales dans l?Afrique romaine
Hardcover. V 295 p., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: French, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782902685684. On admet souvent encore aujourd?hui que ?«dans le monde romain, les deux principaux elements de definition identitaire etaient les dimensions locales (cite ou tribu) et romaine?» (H. Inglebert). Pourtant, les historiens sont de plus en plus amenes a constater l?importance des appartenances provinciales et a s?interroger sur leurs liens avec la formation de certains royaumes ?« barbares?» a partir du Ve siecle. La table ronde aborde ces problematiques, encore peu envisagees dans le cas de l?Afrique, en privilegiant deux approches complementaires : l?une consacree au fait provincial en lui-meme, avec des communications sur la naissance des provinces romaines d?Afrique, leurs noms, leur definition territoriale, leurs redecoupages ; l?autre qui tente de faire apparaitre des formes d?identite provinciale, notamment dans le domaine religieux.

Administrative Documents from Tell Beydar (Seasons 1993-1995)
Hardcover. 287 p., 93 bl/w ills. 145 drawings, 210 x 295 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503505398. Although only 147 tablets have been discovered at Beydar, and although almost all the tablets contain administrative texts, they are nevertheless of great importance for our understanding of the culture and the society of Northern Jazirah in the second half of the third millenium B.C. Until the discovery of tablets at Beydar, Northern Syria had not yielded any tablets dating to the Early Dynastic period. For the first time we get an idea not only of the language, the calender, the metrology and the pantheon of Northern Syria, but also of its political and cultic institutions. These documents are now published in this second issue in the Subartu-Series. It contains chapters on linguistics, historical evaluation, technical aspects, geography, sign lists, metrology, calendars, personal names, terminology, groups of documents, transliterations.

Early Prehistory of Mesopotamia
Hardcover. 250 p., ill., 210 x 295 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503507293. The early prehistory of Mesopotamia provides a uniquely rich and significant contribution to the study of the human past. Within the geographic bounds of Mesopotamia many major developments took place. Early forms of hominid, probably Homo erectus and definitely Neandertal, passed countless millennia here, to be succeeded by anatomically modern humans. After the end of the last Ice Age the pace of human activity increased. Settled communities appeared for the first time, followed by the extensive and intensive exploitation and domestication of plants and animals. By 4,500 bc settled human communities were practising a full spectrum of agricultural techniques, cultivating a range of crops and husbanding domesticated animals for a variety of purposes, while maintaining an involvement in traditional hunting strategies. Firmly based on site by site examination, this volume contains detailed analyses of all evidence relevant to these and other major concerns of the early Mesopotamian past.

Djezire et l'Euphrate syriens de la protohistoire a la fin du second millenaire av. J.C, Tendances dans l'interpretation historique des donnees nouvelles.
Hardcover. 358 p., ills., 210 x 295 mm, Languages: French, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503510637. At the beginning of the nineties, after many years of intensive archaeological research in Northern Mesopotamia, partially enhanced by the salvage operations connected with the construction of dams on the Habur and the Euphrates, it was important to start to evaluate the results of these works in a global and historical perspective. This book, containing almost thirty articles, with a complete bibliography and illustrations, represents the first effort of synthesis of the research programs developed in these last years in Northern Syria, and it offers an interesting view on the historical debate still going on.

Cultures locales du Moyen-Euphrate. Modeles et evenements (IIe-Ier millenaires av. J.-C.)
Hardcover. 200 p., 12 b/w ill., 210 x 295 mm, Languages: French, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503991160. The analysis of the organization of local societies in the Middle Euphrates and the Northern Mesopotamia area - and, at the same time, of the historical models used to describe them - shows that during the late Bronze and Iron Ages these regions are not to be considered settled only by semi-nomadic Aramaic tribes or by their enemy, the Assyrians. The stele found in 1948 in Tell Ashara - Terqa, dated from the beginning of the Ninth century BC, is the best evidence of the existence and of the survival of an ancient urban culture. A study of this document enlightens the main characters of the political structure of the local society, integrating not only the sedentary population, but also its semi-nomadic component, and their relationship with the Assyrian imperial power.

Tell Beydar, The 1995 to 1999 Seasons of Excavations. A Preliminary Report, Tell Beydar, Rapport preliminaire sur les campagnes de fouilles de 1995 a 1997.
softcover. 2 vol., 620 p., 44 colour ill., 210 x 297 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9782503991177. This volume is the progress report of three further seasons of excavations at Tell Beydar (Syria, 1995-1997). The excavations at the central acropolis of the the IIIrd Millennium tell revealed most important Early Jezirah III and IV official buildings, including an official block (EJ III) and a series of temples (EJ III-IV). Deep soundings (fields G and I) brought much informations about the early levels of the Kranzhugel. The E field granary is fully published and adds considerable knowledge about the debated question of storage facilities in Upper Mesopotamia. The discovery of several levels of inner fortification walls proved the strategical importance of this town in the third Millennium. A considerable amount of stratified evidence is presented and helped in setting up the periodization of this urban centre, the ancient name of which was probably Nabada. Evidence from the hellenistic levels from the Upper Town enlightens the stratigraphy of this poorly known period in Upper Mesopotamia. Subartu IX includes a preliminary report of excavations at Beydar III, a Late Chalcolithic settlement.

Tell Boueid II. A Late Neolithic Village on the Middle Khabur (Syria)
softcover . 220 pages ., 93 b/w ill., 210 x 295 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503513447. Tell Boueid II is one of many sites submerged by the completion of the Middle Khabur dam, northeastern Syria. Salvage excavations by Antoine Suleiman (DGAM) in 1997 and 1998 exposed a small (about 0.12 ha) settlement dated on the basis of the ceramics to the Late Neolithic period. More specifically, comparisons with Tell Sabi Abyad and Tell Chagar Bazar suggest a date at the end of the Pre-Halaf era and the beginning of the Transitional stage between pre-Halaf and Early Halaf. During this crucial period, which remains poorly understood in Syria and northern Mesopotamia, various regional communities in Syria and northern Mesopotamia exhibit an increasingly strong cultural unity. In the report, archaeologists and specialists present the analyses of some aspects of the excavations: the architecture, the small finds, the Late Neolithic ceramics, the faunal remains, the obsidian, two clay sealings and the contents of two Late Chalcolithic pits. The ceramics show strong relationships with the so-called Hassuna and Samarra traditions known from Iraq. The obsidian tools, too, show affinities with the Samarra tradition but also with local, Syrian traditions. Of particular significance are two sealings with stamp seal impressions, which are similar to sealings recently excavated at Tell Sabi Abyad. In a concluding chapter the authors bring together their viewpoints in a joint discussion of Tell Boueid II.

Third Millenium Cuneiform Texts from Tell Beydar (Seasons 1996-2002)
Hardcover. XII 132 p., 210 x 295 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503515427. With this volume the epigraphical team of Tell Beydar (Syria) continues the publication of the Early Dynastic cuneiform texts found during the Euro-Syrian excavations in 1996-2002. The tablets from Tell Beydar constitute the most important find of Presargonic texts from Northern Mesopotamia. A first volume with the edition of the tablets from seasons 1993-1995 appeared in 1996 in the same series (Subartu II). The 69 new texts include administrative documents, a considerable number of inscribed and sealed bullae and a Sumerian literary text. Indexes and additions to Subartu II close this part. Several studies, mostly by authors of the volume, concentrate on various aspects of the new texts: the archaeological context (M. Lebeau); sheep husbandry at Beydar; the bullae and their administrative use; inscribed seals and sealings on the bullae (G. Jans); women in the Beydar texts; the Sumerian literary text; Nabada/Tell Beydar in its regional setting (with J. Ur); and an overview of the Tell Beydar texts in Arabic by F. Ismail. These studies integrate the new written sources into the wider context of the history and culture of Northern Mesopotamia in the Third Millennium B.C.

Due to an important number of salvage projects and rescue excavations in Northern Syria, Southern Turkey and Northern Iraq, the archaeological records documenting Upper Mesopotamia drastically increased these last decades. More than 300 regular or rescue preclassical excavations have been registered in Upper Mesopotamia so far. This Atlas of Preclassical Upper Mesopotamia is the result of a systematic examination of the published evidence. More than 100 collaborators have contributed to set up an analytical repertory, summing up the available data through a standardized file. This repertory enumerates each site and reports topography, dimensions of the settlement, geographical location, data on the excavations, periods of occupation (A to Z), environmental and archaeometrical studies, material culture (72 entries), 14C samplings and bibliography. All these ancient settlements are carefully located in new 4-colour maps. Subartu XI includes an updated bibliography, to be considered as the Supplement to Subartu I.

Tell Beydar, the 2000-2002 Seasons of Excavations, the 2003-2004 Seasons of Architectural Restoration. A Preliminary Report, Tell Beydar, Rapport preliminaire sur les campagnes de fouilles 2000-2003 et les campagnes de restauration architecturale 2003-2004
softcover. VI 309 p., 359 b/w ill., 210 x 295 mm, Languages: English, French, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503518121. The third volume about the Euro-Syrian excavations at Tell Beydar constitutes the progress report of the 2000 to 2002 seasons of excavations and the 2003 - 2004 (springtime) seasons of architectural restoration. The central acropolis is currently almost completely uncovered, revealing the Early Jezirah IIIb administrative centre of the ancient city of Nabada. Immediately S of the acropolis, three temples (B, C and D), workshops and storerooms are located in a specific quarter. Soundings have been initiated below the floors of the EJ IIIb Palace and Temple A, reaching official architecture from the EJ IIIa period. B Field has been extended, providing more private houses. Private houses were discovered as well in Field Q. A new area of excavations (P) is scheduled to survey the E part of the city. W of Temple C, a new area of excavations (M/O) reaches a quarter of the city seemingly devoted to handicraft and economical purposes. The hellenistic building of Area A provides clues about architecture, pottery and stratigraphy of a poorly documented period in Upper Mesopotamia. In 2003 a large programme of architectural restoration has been launched, having as main priority the preservation of the EJ IIIb official buildings of the central acropolis. The methods of consolidation/restoration/reconstruction are detailed in the volume. The hellenistic building of Area A has been restored as well.

espaces syro-mesopotamiens. Dimensions de l'experience humaine au Proche-Orient ancien, Volume d'hommage offert a Jean-Claude Margueron
Hardcover. XXXII 548 p., 210 x 295 mm, Languages: French, English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503520230. Le volume d'hommage offert a Jean Margueron est un ouvrage qui a pour visee de parcourir sur ses pas les etapes d'une vie intellectuelle extraordinairement feconde et riche de multiples rencontres humaines. Y ont participe les plus eminents specialistes de l'histoire de l'ancien orient, archeologues et philologues. La Mesopotamie, naturellement, occupe une place de choix dans ce recueil, qui s'est ouvert largement, en cela a l'image de la curiosite intellectuelle de son dedicataire, au monde mediterraneen oriental, du Levant a la Grece. Six themes ont ete retenus, qui sont chacun le reflet des recherches et de l'enseignement de Jean Margueron : (1) la maison du pouvoir, (2) l'homme et le sacre, (3) amenager et concevoir l'espace, (4) maitriser la nature, (5) l'espace de la representation, (6) l'homme et sa maison. Ils ont ete proposes a la reflexion des auteurs dont les contributions rendent ainsi hommage au chercheur passionne qu'il est. L'ouvrage voudrait etre a l'image de cette recherche vivante, fondee sur la rigueur intellectuelle et une tradition d'amitie et de cooperation franco-syrienne.

Tell 'Acharneh 1998-2004, Rapports preliminaires sur les campagnes de fouilles et saison d?etudes. Preliminary Reports on Excavation Campaigns and Study Season
Hardcover. VI 257 p., 244 b/w ill., 210 x 295 mm, Languages: English, French, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503522913. This collective work presents the preliminary results of excavations undertaken by the Canadian archaeological mission to Tell ?Acharneh, Syria in 1998, 1999, and 2002, as well as the results of a study season of excavated materials carried out in the Hama Museum in 2004. Field reports on each annual campaign, prepared by the director of the mission, describe the architectural remains according to their chronological and stratigraphic position at the site. Those reports are completed with specialized studies, written by different experts, of various categories of artifacts recovered over the course of excavations, such as pottery, coins and chipped stone artifacts. The archaeological studies are preceded by articles pertaining to epigraphic sources which make reference to Tunip, a city which is frequently documented in ancient texts and which corresponds most probably to the site of Tell ?Acharneh. Historical documents of the Middle Ages, during which time Tell ?Acharneh became designated by the toponym Tal Ibn Macher, are also discussed in this volume. Cet ouvrage collectif presente les resultats preliminaires des campagnes de fouilles qui ont ete menees par la mission archeologique canadienne en Syrie sur le site de Tell ?Acharneh en 1998, 2001 et 2002, ainsi que de la saison d?etude du materiel archeologique, issu de ces fouilles, qui eut lieu en 2004 au Musee de Hama. Les rapports de fouilles sur les campagnes annuelles, prepares par le directeur de la mission, decrivent les decouvertes architecturales en regard de la chrono-stratigraphie du site. Ces rapports sont completes par des etudes specialisees, realisees par differents experts, portant sur certaines categories d?artefacts recueillies au cours de ces fouilles: ceramique, pieces de monnaie et fragments d?artefacts en pierre taillee. Puisque Tell ?Acharneh pourrait bien correspondre a la ville antique de Tunip mentionnee dans plusieurs textes anciens, les etudes archeologiques sont precedees d?articles traitant de documents epigraphiques, deja connus, relatifs a cette ville. Au Moyen Age, Tell ?Acharneh aurait ete designe par le toponyme de Tal Ibn Macher d?apres la lecture de certaines chroniques de l?epoque qui sont ici commentees.

Glanzvolle Silhouetten Meisterwerke archaischer Toreutik im Badischen Landesmuseum Karlsruhe
bound, hardcover with dusjacket 228 Seiten, uber 100 Abb., vier Beilagen, Format 33 x 33 cm, 1. Auflage 2014. ISBN 9783898707954. Der Glanz frischer Bronze schmuckte in archaischer Zeit manche Gebaude der Griechen sowie grossformatige Holzgegenstande ? als farbliche Ausgestaltung besonders wertvoller Anmutung. Dazu wurden aus ausserst dunn getriebenen Bronzeblechen grosse figurliche Silhouetten (bis zu 80 x 80 cm), wie sie die fruhe Vasenmalerei zeigt, ausgeschnitten und zum Beispiel auf Tafeln befestigt. Einzelne menschliche Figuren, Tiere oder Gegenstande, gelegentlich auch szenische Darstellungen, dominieren unter den Motiven. Darunter finden sich Meisterwerke von hochster Qualitat wie diese Objekte aus dem Badischen Landesmuseum Karlsruhe, deren Treibziselierkunst mit feinsten, manchmal kaum erkennbaren Linien und Punzierungen zu extremer Virtuositat gesteigert ist. Die Karlsruher Silhouettenbleche werden in diesem Buch mit Fotos, erstmals auch mit Rontgenbildern und exakten Umzeichnungen in erstklassiger Druckqualitat prasentiert und wissenschaftlich kommentiert. Prazise naturwissenschaftliche Materialuntersuchungen erganzen den optischen Befund und erweitern unsere Kenntnis dieser antiken Treibziseliertechnik. In vieler Hinsicht bereichern die Karlsruher Silhouettenbleche das Bild dieser Kunstgattung, das die Verfasserin aufgrund der zahlreichen entsprechenden Funde in Olympia in einem 2004 erschienenen grundlegenden Werk entworfen hat. Mit diesen beiden Publikationen sind nun alle bedeutenden grossformatigen griechisch-archaischen Silhouettenbleche, die bisher bekannt geworden sind, fur die Wissenschaft und fur die Freunde antiker Kunst zuganglich. Mit Beitragen von Hermann Born, Christian Goedicke, Peter Northover, Josef Riederer; Zeichnungen von Sonja Sutt; Fotos: Thomas Goldschmidt
