‎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.

‎Luxury and Power : Persia to Greece‎

‎, British Museum Press, 2023 Hardcover, 240 pages, ENG, 255 x 195 x 25 mm, NEW, illustrated in colour / b/w, very, very interesting!. ISBN 9780714111964.‎

‎Luxurious objects are celebrated for their exoticism, rarity and style, but also disparaged as indulgent, extravagant and corrupt. The ancient origins of these attitudes emerged at the boundary between the imperial Persian and democratic Athenian Greek worlds. Luxury was at the center of the royal Persian court and behaviors of ostentatious display rippled through the imperial provinces, whose elite classes emulated luxury objects in lesser materials. But luxury is contrastingly depicted through Athenian eyes - within the philosophical context of early democratic codes and the historical context of the Greco-Persian Wars, which suddenly and spectacularly brought eastern luxuries into the imagination of the Athenian populace for the first time. While Greek writers rejected luxury as eastern, despotic and corrupt, the Athenian elite adopted Persian luxuries in imaginative ways to signal status, distinction and prestige. Under the Macedonian empire of Alexander the Great and its subsequent kingdoms, royal Achaemenid luxury culture would later be adopted and displayed by the Macedonian and local elite across the Greek and Middle Eastern worlds: behaviors of ostentatious display were a means to seek advantage in the new Hellenistic world order. Ultimately, this publication demonstrates how competing political spins woven around 2,500 years ago still continue to shape modern perceptions of luxury today.‎

‎Hendrik Adriaen die in Brielen in 1868 werd geboren was een bijzonder veelzijdig man. Enkele jaren na zijn geboorte verhuist hij naar Vlamertinge om uiteindelijk in 1896 in Poperinge te belanden. Naast een drukke private veeartsenijpraktijk en zijn functie als officieel keurder had hij een enorme passie voor archeologie en geschiedenis. Hij staat dan ook gekend als Poperinges eerste amateurarcheoloog die pas decennia later navolgers heeft gekend in de streek. Bovendien was hij een gepassioneerd verzamelaar van antiquiteiten gaande van munten en penningen over archeologische artefacten tot aardewerk, beelden en veel ?heemkundige? voorwerpen. Zijn verzameling stond na verloop van tijd van heinde en verre gekend en hij voerde een drukke correspondentie met tal van specialisten, verzamelaars en antiquairs. Zijn verzamelwoede ging heel ver: of het nu streekeigen stukken waren of van randgebieden (gaande van Limburg tot ver in Frans-Vlaanderen), of het nu betrekking had op de regionale geschiedenis of de veeartsenij: hij verzamelde werkelijk alles. Na zijn overlijden in 1951 kwam zijn verzameling bij zijn kinderen terecht. De stad Poperinge had in 1951 de collectie met betrekking tot Poperinge gekregen maar door de desinteresse van het stadsbestuur kwam er van het beloofde stadsmuseum niets terecht. Het Museum Meester Adriaen in Poperinge dat het initiatief was van zijn zoon Fernand kende maar een kortstondig bestaan en na de sluiting werd een deel van de collectie verkocht. Evenwel zijn zowat alle Poperingse stukken, zowel archeologische als antiquarische, bewaard gebleven bij de erfgenamen. De Heemkring Aan de Schreve vond het dan ook de ideale gelegenheid om voor het eerst een overzichtstentoonstelling te houden van zowel de archeologica als de kunstcollectie van Meester Hendrik Adriaen. Deze unieke tentoonstelling loopt tijdens de maanden juli en augustus in de Kapel van de Zusters Benedictinessen (Boeschepestraat). Tegelijkertijd verschijnt er een boek over Meester Hendrik Adriaen en zijn collecties: ?De Passies van de verzamelaar? van de hand van onze hoofdredacteur, historicus Kristof Papin, die tevens optreedt als curator van de tentoonstelling.‎

‎Summary In recent decades, the Ancient Egyptian realm of pictorial script and meta-textuality has been the focus of many research projects. Foremost among them is the innovative and ground-breaking sub-field that was helmed by Prof. Orly Goldwasser, exploring the study of classifiers and the ways in which Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs mirror the Ancient Egyptian mind. Taking Goldwasser's pioneering work as its inspiration, this volume draws together contributions from some of the leading voices in Egyptology and neighbouring fields to illuminate different aspects of the use of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs, their semiotic value, and of the language that they record, as well as looking more broadly at the use of signs, pictorial systems, script, learning processes, and classifications. Together, these chapters offer a unique and multi-layered picture of the ways in which Ancient Egyptian language and Hieroglyphs emerged within Ancient Egyptian culture, and the means by which they interacted with other script systems and languages.

‎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.

‎Maritime Exchange and the Making of Norman Worlds‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, x + 230 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:17 b/w, 12 col., 3 maps b/w, 3 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503602172.‎

‎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.

‎Magnification and Miniaturization in Religious Communications in Antiquity and Modernity. Materialities and Meanings‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, xiv + 230 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:47 b/w, 72 col., 3 maps b/w, 1 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503604794.‎

‎Summary Human agents might not be the measure of all things. Nonetheless, human bodies, and their bodily dimensions, often are, with size impacting on the ways in which we conceive of, interact with, and relate to the world around us. The scaling up or down of features ? magnification and miniaturization ? is particularly evident in the creation of anthropogenic items intended for use in religious ritual, and here sizing can be employed as a deliberate strategy to encourage shock and awe, admiration and deterrence, among spectators. Taking as its starting point the concept of 'materialities and meanings', this volume explores how human perceptions and understanding of magnified and miniaturized forms and structures are shaped and changed, both synchronically and diachronically, by our understanding of the human body and its size, and the impact that this has in our relationship with the wider world in the context of ritual practices. The chapters collected here consider a range of questions, from a discussion on the essentials of magnification or miniaturization to an exploration of the impact of such strategies on humans and their wider socio-political ramifications. Together, these chapters contribute to a unique discussion that offers new insights into 'materialities and meanings', the creation of items for ritual, and the ways in which they influence human perception and understanding.

‎Summary Archaeology as a discipline has undergone significant changes over the past decades, in particular concerning best practices for how to handle the vast quantities of data that the discipline generates. Much of this data has often ended up in physical ? or, more recently, digital ? archives and been left untouched for years, despite containing critical information. But as many recent research projects explore how best to unleash the potential of these archives through publication, digitization, and improved accessibility, attention is now turning to the best practices that should underpin this trend. In this volume, scholars turn their attention to how best to work with and shape archaeological archives, and what this means for the field as a whole. The majority of case studies here explore archaeological sites in the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, some of which are conflict zones today. However, the contributions also showcase more broadly the depth of research on archaeological archives as a whole, and offer reflections upon the relationship between archaeological practices and archival forms. In so doing, the volume is able to offer a unique dialogue on best practices for the dissemination and synthetization of knowledge from archives more generally, whether physical or digital.

‎Summary This volume, the third in the series MediTo, investigates the changing landscapes of Tuscany during Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. Through a selection of thematic case studies, presented initially during the second International workshop held in Paganico (Grosseto, Italy) in June 2019 and here further developed, the volume explores the concepts of settlement, economic, and societal changes in both Tuscany and its broader Mediterranean context over the course of several centuries. Together, the contributions gathered here showcase how cities and rural settlements, when studied in their archaeological and historical context, shed light on a dynamic landscape in which natural resources played a crucial role in defining the success or later abandonment of sites.

‎Summary Doreen Waugh was a native Shetlander and a well-renowned scholar of Old Norse and Gaelic place-names in Northern Scotland and the Northern Isles. Not only did Waugh's research significantly advance scholarly understanding of the 'Viking' settlement of the North Atlantic, her generosity with both her time and knowledge inspired and motivated a wide range of scholars from a variety of disciplines, from archaeology and history to historical geography, linguistics, and place-name studies. Based on ? and written in tribute to ? Waugh's work, this interdisciplinary volume draws together essays covering Northern Scotland, the Northern Isles, and beyond, both during and after the early medieval period. The contributions gathered here draw on Waugh's wider-ranging research interests to offer a range of novel insights into the many communities, cultures, and customs that have characterized and connected the Northern Isles and their North Atlantic neighbours.

‎Byzantine Attica. An Archaeology of Settlement and Landscape (4th-12th Centuries)‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 664 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:90 b/w, 106 col., 11 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503611204.‎

‎Summary Attica, the region which surrounds Athens (Greece) is a key area for understanding the transformation of the ancient Roman world to its Medieval successor in the eastern Mediterranean. Located at a crossroads for land and maritime communications, being well populated, carrying a thorough administrative organization and a heavy cultural and religious tradition, the region participated in the broader historic evolutions from the 4th to the 12th centuries. Moreover, Attica stands out in contemporary historic and archaeological research due to its very intensive field research, starting in the 19th century and culminating since the 1960s, through rescue excavation and systematic studies. The outcome of this multi-faceted research on field and monuments which concerns the 4th to 12th centuries forms the backbone of the present volume. Stepping beyond this compilation, however, this study proceeds into being a synthesis of evidence on settlement patterns, road communications, defensive works, religious activities and burial habits. These topics are underpinned by aspects which belong to the longue dur e, geography and the natural environment, which are considered as crucial to the understanding of the Byzantine history. In short, the present book covers as many aspects of the studied area as possible, aiming to show the potential of regional studies for the history and archaeology of Late Antiquity and Byzantium. TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface Foreword & Acknowledgements Introduction Part I: Byzantine Attica: the geography, the history and earlier studies Chapter I - Attica: a landscape surrounded by the sea General geography of Attica Natural environment and resources Chapter II - Attica in Byzantine history 'Attica' as a region in Byzantine sources The history and administrative status of Byzantine Attica Historical sources on Byzantine Attica Chapter III - Byzantine Attica: earlier research Archaeological excavations of Early and Middle Byzantine Attica Studies on Byzantine churches in Attica Field surveys and Byzantine finds Research on the topography of Byzantine Attica Toponyms in Byzantine Attica Chapter IV - Land routes and maritime communication in Byzantine Attica Introduction The evidence of the 'Tabula Peutingeriana' Land routes: topographic and archaeological evidence Byzantine Megarid: a forgotten hub of interregional communications Ports and anchorages in Byzantine Attica Part II: Byzantine Attica: the archaeology of human activity Chapter V - Attica in the Late Roman & Early Byzantine period (4th to mid-7th c.)

‎Summary Kaum eine der zahlreichen antiken und mittelalterlichen Schriftquellen vers umt es, die Befestigungssysteme Antiochias zu erw hnen. Die imposante Anlage der ber die beiden Stadtberge und entlang des Orontes verlaufenden Mauern wurde, so beil ufig die Autoren ber sie berichten, stets als Garant f r den Fortbestand der Metropole betrachtet. Tats chlich blieben die Befestigungsanlagen weit ber das Ende der antiken Stadt hinaus auch f r das islamische, byzantinische und kreuzfahrerzeitliche Antiochia ma gebend und bestimmten bis in die Neuzeit die Organisation des st dtischen Raumes. Ungeachtet ihrer Bedeutung f r die Rekonstruktion der wechselhaften Stadtgeschichte blieben die auf einer L nge von rund dreizehn Kilometern erhaltenen Befestigungssysteme Antiochias bislang weitgehend unbeachtet. Im ersten Band der deutsch-t rkischen Unternehmung in Antiochia werden die r mischen Fortifikationen auf den beiden Stadtbergen, Silpios und Staurin, sowie in der Ebene erstmals monographisch vorgelegt. Dies geschieht auf der Grundlage von umfangreichen Bauaufnahmen, einer detaillierten Fotodokumentation und unter Ber cksichtigung von unpublizierten Grabungsberichten aus dem Princeton University Antioch Archive. Den topographischen Rahmen f r das Verst ndnis der Stadtmauersysteme bildet der neue Stadtplan, der hier erstmals vorgelegt wird.

‎Rise of Cities Revisited. Reflections on Adriaan Verhulst's Vision of Urban Genesis and Developments in the Medieval Low Countries‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 275 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:34 b/w, 16 col., 5 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503600567.‎

‎Summary Adriaan Verhulst's The Rise of Cities in North-West Europe (1999) is the last comprehensive work written by a single author on the urban genesis and spatial developments of cities in the medieval Low Countries. Since then, monographs, specialised studies and articles have been published on various cities and towns, while urban archaeologists have carried out numerous excavations. Much new knowledge has been gained, yet many gaps and the need for comparative overviews remain. Twenty-five years after Verhulst's synthesis, The Rise of Cities Revisited takes a fresh look at the origins and developments of cities and towns in the Low Countries between the tenth and the sixteenth centuries, critically assesses progress made in scholarship and outlines future directions for research. The chapters of the book are written by senior and junior specialists from various fields, including medieval history, historical geography, economic history, archaeology and building history. The Rise of Cities Revisited presents a state of the art and provides scholars with tools to study this complex subject in future. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction Bram Vannieuwenhuyze 2.

‎Summary This fifth volume of a collection devoted to the interdisciplinary meetings held one every two years at K ltepe, ancient Kane?, brings together eighteen contributions dedicated to the archaeology and history of this Central Anatolian site and its surroundings. Each chapter within the volume presents the results of current research into K ltepe, thus continuing the holistic approach first demonstrated in earlier volumes of the K ltepe International Meetings sub-series of revitalizing one of the most important cultural centres of early Anatolia and of emphasising its importance as a pilot site for interdisciplinary studies. Drawing on K ltepe's unique textual and archaeological data, the studies gathered here are organized into four key thematic sections devoted respectively to politics, law and religion; women, family and correspondence; human and animal skeletons; and to the most recent archaeological excavations in K ltepe covering a period from the Chalcolithic to Hellenistic times.
