‎In diesen Banden werder weit uber 600 Felsinschriften aus der Umgebung von Elkab erstmalig publiziert. Samtliche Texte werden in Fotos, mit Transkription, Ubersetzung und Kommentar vorgestellt; detaillierte Karten zeigen den genauen Anbringungsort der Inschriften, Faksimiles und palaographische Tabellen verdeutlichen den Schrittypus. Die Texte sind an funf Stellen des Wadi Hilal angebracht, das von Elkab in die Ostwuste fuhrt, die meisten auf zwei freistehenden hohen Sandfelsen. Das Gros der Texte, namlich weit uber 400, stammt aus der 6. Dynastie, eine kleinere Zahl jeweils aus dem Mittleren Reich, der 2 Zwischenzeit, dem Neuen Reich und der Spatzeit bis in die romische Zeit. Die Inschriften des Alten Reichs stammen von Angehorigen der lokalen Priesterfamilien, die mit ihrem Personal zu einem Tempel in der Wuste zogen. Ein grosser Teil der genannten Personen lasst sich in zwei Abstammungslisten zu Familien zusammenstellen, und zwar uber 8 Generationen, d.h. mindestens 200 Jahre, hinweg; einige dieser Personen sind auch in den noch unpublizierten Felsgrabern von Elkab bezeugt. Die Kenntnisse uber die Prosopographie dieser Zeit erweitern sich dadurch erheblich, sowohl was die Bildung der Namen als auch deren Weitergabe in der Familie betrifft. Auch eine "Vererbung" von Priestertiteln in der Familie lasst sich beobachten. Insgesamt eroffnet sich durch diese Texte ein deutlich neues Bild der Mittelschicht in der Provinz, einer Personengruppe, die bislang in der agyptologischen Forschung unterreprasentiert ist.

‎Thinking about Space, The potential of surface survey and contextual archaeology in the definition of space in Roman times.‎

‎, Brepols, 2008 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. He studies artisanal production organization and exchange patterns and mechanisms in the ancient eastern Mediterranean, with fieldwork in Boeotia, Pisidia and Cilicia.‎

‎Viking Archaeology in Iceland, Mosfell Archaeological Project.‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2014 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.‎

‎dents et les ossements humains Que mangeait-on au Moyen Age?‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2001 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

‎, Brepols, 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.‎

‎Si la decouverte d?une ou plusieurs monnaies au cours d?une fouille permet generalement d?affiner la datation d?un site, l?interet de la trouvaille depasse de loin les seules questions de chronologie. Le numeraire livre en effet des informations complexes concernant non seulement les communications entre le lieu de sa production et celui ou il est mis au jour, mais aussi l?influence des autorites politiques sur les modes d?echanges. Les pieges sont pourtant nombreux, ce qui invite les numismates a de nombreuses reflexions sur leurs methodes de travail. Comment se detacher de l?epoque de la frappe d?une monnaie pour se rapprocher de la date de la perte, beaucoup plus precieuse a l?archeologue ? La necessite de disposer de corpus communs aux archeologues et aux numismates beneficie fort heureusement de nouvelles reflexions, ce qu?illustre parfaitement l?exemple normand, dans une region bien connue en termes de trouvailles monetaires. De l?age du fer a l?occupation anglaise du XVe siecle en passant par les invasions vikings, l?actuelle Normandie, dont la position geographique presente des atouts remarquables en termes d?echanges economiques, offre des temoignages ruraux et urbains de l?incidence des mouvements humains ou des bouleversements politiques sur les circulations monetaires.‎

‎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.‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2000 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.‎

‎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.‎

‎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.‎

‎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.‎
