The 132 drawings catalogued here, many on a large scale and highly coloured, document most of the major examples of ancient Roman pictorial art known to seventeenth-century Rome. The 132 drawings catalogued document most of the major examples of ancient Roman pictorial art known to seventeenth-century Rome. They include early finding such as the "Aldobrandini Wedding", the Nile mosaic from Palestrina, tha marble pictures from the Basilica of Junius Bassus, and later finds such as the Harbour Landscape (found in 1668) and the Tomb of Nasonii (1674).

Harvey Miller. Mosaics and Wallpaintings in Roman Churches
Hardback, 384 p., incl. 264 ills. with 152 in colour, 22 x 28,5. ISBN 9781872501628. This collection of drawings and watercolours of the mosaics and wallpaintings of early medieval churches in Rome forms an important part of the Paper Museum, since it sheds much light on the nature and scope of antiquarianism in Italy at the time of the Counter-Reformation. This collection of drawings and watercolours of the mosaics and wallpaintings of early medieval churches in Rome forms an important part of the paper Museum, since it sheds much light on the nature and scope of antiquarianism in Italy at the time of the Counter-Reformation. The drawings and watercolours catalogued and illustrated here are all in the Royal Collection, Windsor Castle, and are mostly by the artist Antonio Eclissi. The reproductions are generally in full colour, and frequently accompanied by illustrations showing the actual decoration in situ. The introductory essays outline the important phases of Cassiano dal Pozzo's career, discuss the history and significance of the 'Paper Museum', and explore the Christian tradition in seventeeth-century Rome. The Catalogue Raisonnee analyses each drawing in the greatest detail. This volume, the first to appear in the series, will be of special interest to archaeologists and medievalists engaged in the study of Rome's Early Christian churches, since many of the buildings, mosaics and paintings are now no longer extant.

Harvey Miller. Other Mosaics, Paintings, Sarcophagi and Small Objects
Hardback, 336 p., incl. 281 ills., with 106 in colour, 22 x 28,5. ISBN 9781872501673. Catalogued here is a diverse and fascinating range of antiquities, mainly collected in the later seventeeth century: reliefs, inscriptions, sarcophagi, sculpture, manuscript illuminations, gold-glass, gems, ivories, lamps, metalwork and 'instruments of martyrdom'. This volume completes Part II of Series A of the Paper Museum. Together with the first volume, it reflects an unusual aspect of Cassiano's interests, but a particularly relevant one for modern scholars: the material remains of post-classical culture in Rome and the psychical inheritance from the earliest centuries of Christianity. Catalogued here is a diverse and fascinating range of antiquities: reliefs, inscriptions, sarcophagi, sculpture, manuscript illuminations, gold-glass, gems, ivories, lamps, metalwork and 'instruments of martyrdom'. The drawings were mainly collected by Carlo Antonio dal Pozzo, Cassiano's brother, in the later seventeeth century and include some of the finest examples of archaeological draughtsmanship of the period.

pittura medievale a Roma Corpus volume V: Il Duecento e la cultura gotica, 1198-1287 ca.
Hardback, 419 p., 350 colour ill., 24 x 31. ISBN 9782503526775. Questo volume del Corpus della pittura medievale a Roma studia un periodo storico a forti contrasti. La storia inizia infatti dagli anni del pontificato di Innocenzo III: papa autoritario, di lucida visione teocratica e di vasti disegni politici, che proclama l'universalita della Chiesa e al tempo stesso bada a consolidare il suo potere temporale, fortificando i territori circostanti a Roma, estendendo l'autorita pontificia sulle regioni limitrofe, facendo insomma dello Stato della Chiesa uno stato agguerrito e capace di fronteggiare i pericoli e gli attacchi anche militari. Non meraviglia, in questo quadro ideologico e politico, che Innocenzo III sia anche il papa che mette mano ai piu grandi edifici della citta sacra, Roma, per rifarli e rammodernarli e in questo modo presentare l'immagine di una chiesa tradizionale, ma attuale e rinnovata. Tramite i cantieri innocenziani, Roma viene toccata da una potente ondata bizantineggiante, originata dal risalire degli artisti che erano stati attivi nei cantieri normanni di Palermo e Monreale, e che rimasti senza lavoro per la fine della potenza normanna in Sicilia e Italia meridionale vanno a cercarne la dove l'attivita e piu intensa, e quindi specialmente a Roma. Subito dopo pero le cose cambiano, e la cultura dell'Europa gotica comincia a premere anche alle porte della Citta per definizione piu tradizionalista di tutte. Nei decenni centrali del Duecento una vera e propria invasione di temi e iconografie rinnovate si verifica, negli edifici della citta che li hanno conservati e che sono stati riscoperti anche molto recentemente: il caso del grande ciclo ad affresco nel salone gotico dei Santi Quattro Coronati e emblematico, centinaia di metri quadri di splendida pittura meravigliosamente conservata, ritrovati e rimessi in luce da pochi anni, testimonianza di una cultura pittorica modernissima e raffinata. Il ciclo dei Santi Quattro, insieme ad altri ritrovamenti ugualmente recenti ma di minore entita come ad esempio quello nel convento di San Clemente mette in luce un momento della vita della Roma medievale, fino ad ora considerato 'vuoto' e privo di testimonianze artistiche; e segnala con grande evidenza la ricchezza e la modernita della pittura che si faceva a Roma, nelle cerchie dei papi, dei cardinali, nei loro palazzi fortificati e nelle loro chiese, anche quando il papa, con la curia, era esule e rifugiato altrove, anche quando la citta di Roma viene a lungo abbandonata dalla corte pontificia che preferisce sedi e palazzi come quelli di Viterbo o di Orvieto, piu lontani dalla minaccia federiciana. Mette in luce, anche, quanto 'gotica' sia stata la tradizionalissima cerchia dei papi: proprio perche la corte pontificia era, appunto, una corte, attorno a papi che nei decenni centrali del Duecento sono spesso francesi, in contatto con la cultura d'oltralpe, e si fanno tramite dell'arrivo di oggetti e di testimonianze del gusto nordico. Il volume si chiude con gli avvenimenti di un pontificato quello di Nicolo III Orsini che dura pochi anni, dal 1277 al 1280, ma che rappresenta un nuovo momento di importanza fondamentale per la storia della cultura e dell'arte a Roma. A differenza di molti suoi immediati predecessori, Nicolo Orsini non e francese, non e forestiero: e romano, di nobile famiglia, e il programma del suo regno e tutto volto a riprendere in mano la Citta, a riconsiderarne le tradizioni, a riproporre con forza l'immagine di un'autorita pontificia che e indissociabile dall'idea di Roma. Non molti anni fa, la riscoperta e il restauro degli affreschi del Sancta Sanctorum al Laterano che sono naturalmente compresi in questo volume - mostrarono con chiarezza a quale livello di qualita e di densita simbolica fosse arrivato questo papa, committente della cappella e della sua decorazione a mosaico e ad affresco, pur in un tempo cosi breve di regno.

Anthropologie de l?Antiquite. Anciens objets.ANTHROPOLOGIE DE L?ANTIQUITE: ANCIENS OBJETS, NOUVELLES APPROCHES.
Paperback, 441 p., 17 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm, Languages: French, English. ISBN 9782503546971. Diverses contributions reunies dans ce livre sont nees d?une collaboration et d?une proximite intellectuelle entre deux institutions de recherche : l?equipe PLH?ERASME qui travaille, Toulouse, dans les domaines de la reception de l?Antiquite et de l?anthropologie historique, depuis sa creation en 1998, et le centre ANHIMA (Anthropologie et Histoire des mondes antiques), qui reunit, a Paris, des chercheurs engages dans tous les domaines et toutes les periodes de l?Antiquite. Ce rapprochement s?est traduit par l?organisation de deux journees d?etude internationales, qui se sont tenues a Toulouse, en mars 2010, et par la creation d?une nouvelle collection : ?« Antiquite et sciences humaines. La traversee des frontieres ?», accueillie par les editions Brepols. Ces initiatives temoignent de la vitalite et du renouvellement dont ont beneficie et continuent de beneficier les perspectives anthropologiques. Une vitalite qui se manifeste par la multiplicite des points de vue et des domaines abordes dont je ne mentionnerai que quelques exemples : ? l?aptitude a redefinir les concepts les mieux connus, comme le fait Vincent Azoulay a propos du don, ? l?application d?un autre concept tout aussi connu, la pratique des rites de passage, a un domaine nouveau, celui de l?archeologie gallo?romaine. Ce qui permet a Ton Derks, d?inserer dans leur contexte historique des conduites sociales jusqu?alors mal interpretees, ? la prise en compte des deplacement de categories entre hommes et femmes, masculin et feminin, qu?apportent les etudes de genre mises en perspective par Violaine Sebillotte, ? l?exploration d?un certain nombre de domaines nouveaux, parmi lesquels, celui des emotions que j?ai moi?meme aborde, ou celui de la perception des couleurs dont Adeline Grand?Clement s?est attachee a eclairer la logique. L?ensemble des incursions ainsi menees dans l?Antiquite (grecque, romaine, phenicienne, gallo-romaine), fait emerger une richesse qui n?est jamais figee et qui fait echo aux propos de Jean-Pierre Vernant dans la Preface redigee en 1968, pour l?edition des etudes de Louis Gernet reunies sous le titre ?« Anthropologie de la Grece antique ?». Pour definir les approches qui avaient ete celles de ce savant, Vernant ecrivait : ?« On ne saurait comprendre leur dynamisme que si on s?interroge, non certes sur l?Homme, mais sur les mentalites particulieres des hommes, des groupes humains qui les ont mis en ?uvre, si on cherche a penetrer ce que furent leurs modes de penser, leurs cadres et outils intellectuels, leurs formes de sensibilite et d?action, leurs categories psychologiques au sens que Mauss donnait a ce terme. ?» Cette prise en compte des differences qui nous separent des hommes de l?Antiquite, l?attention sans faille portee aux specificites qui marquent l?ensemble de leurs representations et de leurs comportements dans tous les domaines de la vie sociale, politique, religieuse, culturelle, la conscience aussi des mutations qui se sont operees sur la longue duree qui est la notre, c?est somme toute ce que chacun des auteurs de ce volume, dans le domaine de recherche qui lui est propre, a tente de mettre en ?uvre

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

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.

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.

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.
