‎Op de tentoonstelling Expeditie Egypte worden een tweehonderdtal objecten uit haar beroemde Egyptische verzameling samengebracht. De blikvangers van de tentoonstelling zijn onder meer de rijkelijk versierde sarcofagen uit de priesterlijke cachette van Deir el-Bahari, en het prachtig ge llustreerde dodenboek van de hoogwaardigheidsbekleder Neferrenpet. Daarnaast wordt een groot aantal opmerkelijke stukken uit de verzameling voor het eerst tentoongesteld. Voorwerpen zoals grafst les, canopenvazen voor de ingewanden van de overledenen, en shabti-beeldjes die de doden vergezelden in het hiernamaals, maken de bezoekers wegwijs in de Egyptische godenwereld en het eeuwige leven. Tenslotte wordt de tentoonstelling ook rijkelijk voorzien van uniek historisch fotomateriaal. Deze reis doorheen de tijd wordt op meerdere plaatsen aangevuld met artistieke interventies van Sara Sallam ( 1991, Ca ro). De kunstenares exploreert de Egyptische culturele identiteit van vandaag en bevraagt de geschiedenis en erfenis van de egyptologie. Herinneringen uit haar kindertijd en archeologische en museale bronnen inspireren het werk van Sara Sallam, dat een frisse kijk biedt op de erfenis van het oude Egypte.‎

‎In seiner leidenschaftlichen Bewunderung f r die grandiosen F higkeiten der alt gyptischen und orientalischen K nstler leistete der franz sische Orientalist, Schriftsteller und K nstler mile Prisse d?Avennes (1807?1879) Bahnbrechendes auf dem Gebiet der gyptologie. Schon als Jugendlicher tr umte er davon, den Orient zu erkunden, mit 19 machte er sich erstmals auf den Weg und besuchte Griechenland, Pal stina und Indien. In den folgenden 40 Jahren bereiste er Syrien, die Arabische Halbinsel und Persien und lebte einige Zeit in gypten und Algerien. gypten erkundete Prisse d?Avennes, in arabische Gew nder gekleidet, unter dem Namen Idris Effendi. Als Erforscher der alt gyptischen und islamischen Kulturen schrieb er sp ter in seiner Geschichte der gyptischen Kunst: ?Ich habe die elegantesten Vorlagen ausgew hlt, diejenigen, deren Gestalt eine sehr genaue Vorstellung vermittelt vom Geschmack und Luxus dieser Zeit, als die gyptische Kunstfertigkeit sich auf dem Gipfel ihrer Brillanz befand.? Im Jahr 1844 reiste Prisse d?Avennes von Alexandria nach Frankreich, wo er drei Jahre sp ter die Monuments gyptiens ( gyptische Baudenkm ler) ver ffentlichte. Dieser Band enth lt 51 Tafeln, die auf Zeichnungen basieren, die er w hrend seiner Zeit in gypten angefertigt hatte. Nach einem erneuten Aufenthalt in Nordafrika kehrte er 1860 wieder nach Paris zur ck, mit den Fr chten seiner zahlreichen Reisen im Gep ck: Hunderte von Foliozeichnungen, Fotografien, Skizzen, Karten und 400 Metern an Basreliefs. Fasziniert von der Symmetrie, Komplexit t und Opulenz der gyptischen und arabischen Kunst, griff er auf diesen gewaltigen Fundus zur ck, um Sammelwerke zur Kunst und Architektur zu schaffen, in die er seine Forschungen zum historischen, gesellschaftlichen und religi sen Kontext ebenso einflie en lie wie seine Untersuchungen von Originaldokumenten. 1878/79 erschien in Paris unter dem Titel Histoire de l?art gyptien (Geschichte der gyptischen Kunst) sein vollst ndiges Kompendium, das 159 beeindruckende Tafeln zur gyptischen Kunst enth lt. Diese au ergew hnlichen Tafeln zu Architektur, Skulptur, Malerei und Kunstgewerbe werden hier erstmals in einem Band vereint und vollst ndig ver ffentlicht. ---- In his passionate admiration for the magnificent skills of ancient Egyptian and oriental artists, the French orientalist, writer and artist mile Prisse d?Avennes (1807?1879) made groundbreaking contributions to the field of Egyptology. Even as a teenager he dreamed of exploring the Orient. At the age of 19 he set off for the first time and visited Greece, Palestine and India. In the following 40 years he traveled to Syria, the Arabian Peninsula and Persia and lived for some time in Egypt and Algeria. Prisse d'Avennes explored Egypt, dressed in Arab robes, under the name Idris Effendi. As a researcher of ancient Egyptian and Islamic cultures, he later wrote in his history of Egyptian art: ?I have selected the most elegant models, those whose shape gives a very accurate idea of ??the taste and luxury of that time when Egyptian artistry was at its peak brilliance.? In 1844, Prisse d'Avennes traveled from Alexandria to France, where three years later he published Monuments gyptiens (Egyptian Monuments). This volume contains 51 plates based on drawings he made during his time in Egypt. After another stay in North Africa, he returned to Paris in 1860 with the fruits of his numerous travels in his luggage: hundreds of folio drawings, photographs, sketches, maps and 400 meters of bas-reliefs. Fascinated by the symmetry, complexity and opulence of Egyptian and Arabic art, he drew on this enormous fund to create collections on art and architecture, in which he incorporated his research into the historical, social and religious context as well as his studies of original documents. In 1878/79 his complete compendium was published in Paris under the title Histoire de l'art gyptien (History of Egyptian Art), which contains 159 impressive plates on Egyptian art. These extraordinary panels on architecture, sculpture, painting and decorative arts are brought together and published in full in one volume for the first time.‎

‎Sarazm: A Site along the Proto-Silk Road at the Intersection of the Steppe and Oasis Cultures. Results from Excavation VII‎

‎, Brepols - 2023, 2024 Paperback, xxvi + 258 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:20 b/w, 181 col., 74 tables b/w., 8 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503602943.‎

‎Summary Sarazm, in modern-day Tajikistan, is rightly famous as an archaeological site. A Chalcolithic and Bronze Age settlement, it formed part of a cultural and economic network that stretched from the steppe of Central Asia across to the Iranian Plateau and the Indus. Between 1984 and 1994, fieldwork led by a joint Tajik-French project took place at Excavation VII, yielding unique archaeological contexts and materials that shed light on Sarazm's multicultural nature, its evolution through time, and the varied activities that took place at the site. Now, in this new volume, the first comprehensive description and analysis of all available data from Excavation VII is presented, and the data from this excavation contextualized both at site level and within the broader setting of the Steppe and Oasis cultures of the IVth and IIIrd millennia BCE. The author offers functional, cultural, and chronological conclusions about the exposed occupations, as well as putting forward new interpretations and hypotheses on this important settlement.‎

‎Summary This volume investigates settlement trajectories and systems of movement in the Birecik-Carchemish sector of the Euphrates River Valley from the fifth to the third millennium BCE. Integrating remote sensing analyses, published data of individual surveys and excavations, and the original results of the ?Land of Carchemish Project', this multi-scalar study shows the significant longevity of settlement choices and the role of small sites in shaping the cultural landscape of the region, both along the Euphrates and in the uplands. Attention is paid to the dynamics behind settlement creation and continuity, while the author also provides a reassessment of the radiocarbon dates from sites in the area of study.

‎Summary Between c. 1000 and c. 1200 AD, emigrants from Normandy travelled long distances from their homeland, spreading their political influence to the shores of the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Baltic. Their willingness to cross the seas gave Normans access to new territories and new ideas, extending their authority and reputation far beyond northern France. But how and why were these Norman groups able to develop such power? The chapters collected here engage directly with this question by examining the sites and processes that underpinned this expansion. The contributors ask what different Norman groups took from the societies around them, and what they rejected; they consider how non-Norman powers ? in Ireland, England, the Fatimid Caliphate, Byzantium, the Holy Land, and Rus' ? responded to, and were shaped by, their interactions with Normans in contested zones; and they examine how Normans understood and imagined their own relationship with the sea as a place of exchange, a zone of uncertain control, and an ambiguous kind of border. Drawing together material culture and written evidence, this far-reaching volume offers a fully-developed discussion of how, and in what ways, these Norman worlds and societies could be said to be ?transcultural', and in doing so, makes a compelling case that attention to movement and maritime exchange must be central to our understanding of the extension of Norman influence in this period.

‎Summary In 2015, the Danish-German Northwest Quarter Project working in Jerash uncovered a Middle Islamic farmstead. Subsequent excavations revealed that this settlement, far from marking a decline at the site, is in fact indicative of a broader active and dynamic rural community living within the ancient urban landscape of Jerash. This volume offers an in-depth focus on this Islamic settlement, with a particular focus on the ceramic material yielded by the site, which is here fully quantified and contextually analysed alongside historical sources. Through this approach, the author has reconstructed a new synthesis of Middle Islamic settlement history, shedding new light on the economic and social structures of a rural community in northern Jordan, as well as establishing a typology that can be used to refine the chronologies of Middle Islamic Jerash.

‎Ideology and Patronage in Byzantium. Dedicatory Inscriptions and Patron Images from Middle Byzantine Macedonia and Thrace‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 177 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:55 b/w, Language(s):English, Greek. ISBN 9782503605326.‎

‎Summary Based on the evidence of epigraphic material in combination with monumental painting, this book explores important dedicatory inscriptions (9th-beginning of the 13th c.) from Macedonia and Thrace, which have so far been investigated mainly from a philological-historical standpoint, thus neglecting the major issue of Middle Byzantine patronage. Through patron inscriptions and textual sources, the role and the motives of military officials in the patronage of defensive and fortification works, and the manner of publicizing them, are examined systematically. Patronage is looked at through the ideological messages that the donors endeavor to promote in a local society or monastic community, and which echo their relationship with the state and their views on education and faith. The new interpretations presented in this book result from the collation of historical, prosopographical, archaeological and visual data, which offer valuable evidence about military patronage, the relation of the donation to the personal life of the donor and his family, the spiritual life of monasticism and the building complex of the monastery, and the relationship between inscriptions, space and iconography. Interesting methodologically is the co-examination of the various categories of inscriptions in combination with historical texts and donor portraits, which opens up new avenues of research for the study of the interdisciplinary material in question.

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, xliv + 304 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Language(s):French, English. ISBN 9789603710790.‎

‎Summary The honorary volume Greek Coinage between War and Trade. Papers on Numismatics, Epigraphy and History Offered to Olivier Picard, includes twenty-one (21) contributions on the monetary production and policy of cities, federal states, and kings and their relation with the history and economy of the Ancient Greek and Roman world. The volume includes discussions of various numismatic issues and problems. It addresses questions related to the organisation of monetary policy of different issuing authorities, discusses iconography and problems of attribution of numismatic types, explores the relationship between coinage and military events, and examines the ways to identify trade networks. It includes the publication of hoards, discusses the use of coins in inscriptions and ancient texts, and explores issues related to the technology and organisation of mints and coin production. The studies have a wide geographical range, extending from Marseilles and Sicily to Asia Minor, and from Illyria, Thrace and Macedonia to Crete, Cyprus and Egypt. The volume therefore reflects the wide range of the honoree's interests. TABLE OF CONTENTS Liste des Auteurs / List of Authors Abr viations / Abbreviations Evang line MARKOU, S l n E.

‎Medieval Landscapes of Southern Etruria. The Excavations at Capalbiaccio Tricosto (1976-2010)‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 366 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:83 b/w, 92 col., 23 tables b/w., 61 maps b/w, 8 maps color, Language(s):English. ISBN 9782503597751.‎

‎Summary The fortified hilltop town of Capalbiaccio is a lost Etruscan settlement, a site that developed out of prehistory to become an important colony and grain provider for the Roman Empire, before being sacrificed to medieval intrigue and conquest by the Republic of Siena. The site, together with the castle of Tricosto, was first excavated forty-five years ago, but the results were never published. Then, in recent years, archaeologist Michelle Hobart was invited to explore the area with a new team and employ the latest techniques of remote sensing to explore the landscape and fortifications. The results of both explorations are presented here for the first time in this volume, which combines the invasive and non-invasive approaches of two generations of archaeologists to reveal what attracted settlers to this site, from the inhabitants of the late Bronze Age through to the most important families of medieval Tuscany. This book employs the best of the latest geophysical techniques and time-tested approaches to ground the history of Capalbiaccio, and to narrate how the fate of this small village was inextricably linked to regional and national networks, as control of the territory and the settlement's reason for being evolved over time.

‎End of the Kura-Araxes Phenomenon. The Chrono-Cultural Aspect of the EB/MB Transition in the South Caucasus‎

‎Summary This thematic volume focuses on the demise of the Kura-Araxes culture and the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age, a period between about 2600 and 2000 cal BC that saw the gradual disappearance of millennia-long traditions in the region. Specialists reassess the chrono-cultural attribution of several complexes in the region, together with the absolute chronology of the whole sequence. Through this approach, the volume offers a nuanced insight into the changes and continuities of a crucial period between the Early and Middle Bronze Age. The chapters gathered together here also explore the abandonment of long-established settlements, the production of lavishly endowed funerary complexes, testament to the emergence of growing inequalities in society, and the adoption of a far more mobile way of life as revealed by archaeology.

‎Summary The roles played by women in history, and even the very idea of what it is to be female, have always been in flux, changing over centuries, between cultures, and in response to diverse social and economic parameters. Even today, women's roles and women's rights continue to face changes and pressures. In establishing the series Women of the Past: Testimonies from Archaeology and History, the ambition is to build on the profound theoretical and empirical developments that have taken place over the last fifty years of gender-focused research and to explore them in a contemporary context. The aim of this series is to shed light on not just the outstanding and extraordinary women who were trendsetters of their time, but also the not quite so outstanding women, often overshadowed by outstanding men, and the ordinary women, those who simply went about their everyday life and kept their world turning in their own quiet way. This edited volume, Women of the Past, Issues for the Present, is the inaugural volume of the series and shows the wide span of the series chronologically, geographically, and socially in terms of the research presented. From Roman slaves to Viking women, and from medieval wet-nurses to the nineteenth-century wives who supported their archaeologist husbands on excavation, this groundbreaking volume opens a new vista in our understanding of the past.

‎Summary The Decapolis city of Jerash has long attracted attention from travellers and scholars, due both to the longevity of the site and the remarkable finds uncovered during successive phases of excavation that have taken place from 1902 onwards. Between 2011 and 2016, a Danish-German team, led by the universities of Aarhus and M nster, focused their attention on the Northwest Quarter of Jerash ? the highest point within the walled city ? and this volume is the sixth in a series of books presenting the team's final results. In this volume, a wide range of miscellaneous items discovered in the Northwest Quarter are presented, ranging from prehistoric lithics to Ottoman pipes. Material finds covered include stone sculpture, utensils, and inscriptions, as well as bone objects, spindle whorls, and bread stamps, while some scientific analyses of jewellery and terracotta figurines complement the studies. These chapters ensure that all finds from the Northwest Quarter ? no matter how small ? are made available to researchers, with the contributions gathered here offering unique new insights into the material groups from Gerasa, later Jerash, and into the lives of the population of the city from a longue dur e perspective.

‎Summary The famous oasis city of Palmyra, located in the Syrian Desert, has long been the subject of scholarly research; and over the last decade, it has been the focus of three key projects based at Aarhus University in Denmark. Together, these projects have yielded results that have shed new light on Palmyra and have profoundly changed what we know about both the city itself, and its place in the wider Roman Empire, through a focus on sculptural production and the sustainability and economy that underpinned this, urban development, excavation history, and legacy data. This volume, based on a conference organized under the auspices of the Palmyra research projects in Aarhus, draws together papers that reflect on our understanding of Palmyra up to now, and pave the way for new lines of enquiry. Experts in the field engage with discussions of best practice, offer new perspectives on the city, its society, and its environs, and outline approaches that will allow research to continue to break new ground in our understanding of Palmyra.
