Cette thèse est consacrée à la culture politique des cités d’Olbia et Chersonèse à travers l’étude des inscriptions honorifiques, qui emploient une rhétorique particulière du IIIe s. av. J.-C. au règne d’Hadrien. Cette rhétorique témoigne du bon niveau intellectuel de ces élites politiques lié à une bonne formation et l’auteur souligne la compatibilité entre le cadre démocratique et l’existence d’une oligarchie, qui par ses compétences est en mesure d’assumer l’exercice du pouvoir.
Dossier épigraphique, avec quelques inscriptions traduites pour la première fois en anglais.

Late Antique Arabia - Zafar, Capital of Himyar: Rehabilitation of a 'Decadent' Society: Excavations of the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg 1998-2010 in the Highlands of Yemen
Yule, Paul
The first unification of Arabia emanated from the capital of the Himyarite tribal confederacy, Zafar. Paradoxically, as early as the Islamic Caliphate this site and its civilisation were characterised as ‚decadent‘ representatives of a dark age. New results correct a distorted image. The book by Paul Yule contextualises the data accumulated prior to the untimely termination of the field project as a result of civil strife.
In the field of South Arabian Studies, excavation reports are rare and non-existent for the late pre-Islamic period – which this one accents. By no means alone, Zafar is and needs to be understood in relation to other sites in Arabia. The circumstances surrounding the downfall of the Himyar and post-Himyarite history are fraught with difficulty which this interdisciplinary report strives to illuminate. The often impressionist nature of the archaeological literature is countered by database documentation for the excavation operations and contexts. New are discussions of archaeological finds as well as those regarding art history, religion and linguistics. Detailed data including inscriptions as well as zoological and botanical data illuminate the situation. The author had the rare advantage of working in an area which amounted to an informational vacuum, but which was a centre for the development of early Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The latter was by no means the enemy of Himyar, but rather perhaps its closest descendant. Backed up by the internet image base HeidICON which contains over 4500 drawings and photos, not to omit preliminary reports, lectures as well as a travelling exhibition which provide discussion platforms, the book seeks to remedy this vacuum.

Researching Metaphor in the Ancient Near East
Herausgeber: Pallavidini, Marta / Portuese, Ludovico
Metaphor has intrigued philosophers, rhetoricians, and poets since Antiquity. The phenomenon of metaphor has been mostly interpreted as a figure of speech, and only in last decades of the 20th Century the so-called cognitive turn defined metaphor as a product first of the thought and then of the language. According to this view metaphor is used in everyday life and it is present, therefore, potentially, in every type of texts. Furthermore, metaphor can be identified also in images that convey specific concepts.
Both as a figure of speech and as a cognitive phenomenon, the research of metaphor in the ancient Near Eastern written sources has never been thoroughly investigated. Yet the study of metaphor will consent to win a deeper knowledge of the texts and of the system of thinking of the cultures that produced those texts. Therefore, this volume edited by Marta Pallavidini and Ludovico Portuese aims to research metaphor from different perspectives by considering its presence in ancient Near Eastern written documents. The contributions focus on several ancient Near Eastern cultures and encompass more than two millennia as well as examine various topics, from Sumerian literature, to Hittite written sources, to Neo-Assyrian art to the Biblical world.

Urban Cultures of Central Asia from the Bronze Age to the Karakhanids
Learnings and conclusions from new archaeological investigations and
discoveries. Proceedings of the First International Congress on Central
Asian Archaeology held at the University of Bern, 4–6 February 2016
Baumer, Christoph / Novák, Mirko
For the first time a comprehensive presentation of the development of urban cultures in Central Asia from the Early Bronze Age (around 3000 BC) to the Middle Ages (about 1200 AD) is exemplarily illuminated in this book on the basis of individual research projects. The treated area extends from Turkmenistan to Mongolia and was home to cultures such as the Bronze Age Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC), the Sogdian of the Iron Age, the early Parthian or various early medieval ones, namely in the Zhetysu (“Seven Stream country”) in the southeast of Kazakhstan. The urban civilizations that developed here were closely interrelated, on the one hand, with the cultures of the nomadic ranchers who traversed and inhabited this vast region and, on the other hand, with the more developed neighboring civilizations of the Near East and the Far East. Thus, the region became a diverse exchange zone of cultural and religious influences and also played a major role in the transmission of cultural impulses.
The richly illustrated book reflects the contributions of a conference that took place in Bern in 2016 and includes 28 contributions from 50 researchers from 14 countries. The results of many of the excavations presented here will be published in English for the first time. Each article is accompanied by an extensive bibliography and a Russian abstract.

Sirkeli Höyük: Ein urbanes Zentrum am Puruna-Pyramos im Ebenen Kilikien. Vorbericht der schweizerisch-türkischen Ausgrabungen 2006–2015
Novák, Mirko / Kozal, Ekin / Yaşin, Deniz
Der Sirkeli Höyük am Ceyhan (Pyramos) ist einer der größten bronze- und eisenzeitlichen Siedlungshügel in Kilikien, einer im Süden der heutigen Türkei gelegenen antiken Kulturlandschaft zwischen Anatolien, Syrien und Zypern. Seit 2006 werden hier archäologische Forschungen der Universitäten Bern, Tübingen und Çanakkale durchgeführt, die eine ausgedehnte, sich in Zitadelle, Ober-, Unter- und Vorstadt gliedernde Stadtlandschaft zum Vorschein brachten. Die Forschungsziele des Projektes umfassen Urbanistik, Chronologie und die sich im Fundmaterial abzeichnenden interregionalen Kulturkontakte dieses für Kilikien exemplarischen Fundortes. Neben konventionellen Ausgrabungen kommen bei den Forschungen Techniken wie Fernerkundung (Satellitenbildauswertung), geophysikalische Prospektion und engmaschiger Survey zum Einsatz.
Das reich und farbig illustrierte Buch gibt eine vorläufige Zusammenfassung der bisherigen Arbeiten, wobei einerseits die Befunde und Funde präsentiert, diese anderseits aber auch im Hinblick auf die übergeordneten Fragestellungen interpretiert werden. Unter anderem wird erstmals seit den 1950er Jahren eine auf einer stratigrafischen Abfolge basierende, umfassende Keramiktypologie eines kilikischen Fundortes vorgelegt. Die Autorengruppe repräsentiert den interdisziplinären Ansatz der Forschungen.

Building in Assyria: A Philological Perspective
Tudeau, Johanna
Johanna Tudeau offers with this book a sketch of the practice and ideology of building in Assyria based on textual evidence. The study focuses on the Assyrian royal inscriptions and state archives, two of the most comprehensive textual corpora available on the topic. The temporal and spatial framework is necessarily broad, from the rise to the fall of Assyria, from one end of the empire to the other. This stands in contrast with a targeted terminological approach: architectural keywords structure the chapters and these follow the stages of the building process. The findings come together in a chapter devoted to the modern significance of ancient realities, where grounds for the investigation and interpretation of space are proposed to serve philologists and archaeologists alike, hopefully facilitating the exchange between disciplines.

Siedlungskammer Kilikien: Studien zur Kultur und Landschaftsgeschichte des Ebenen Kilikien
Rutishauser, Susanne
Das „Ebene Kilikien“ ist eine von Mittelmeer und Gebirgen umrandete Kulturlandschaft im Süden der Türkei. Während sich die Siedlungsschwerpunkte in den vergangenen Jahrtausenden nur marginal verändert haben, hat sich das Landschaftsbild umso mehr gewandelt: In der Bronze- und Eisenzeit dominierten Siedlungshügel und in römischer und frühbyzantinischer Zeit zahlreiche Flachsiedlungen die heute intensiv landwirtschaftlich genutzte Region. Diese war während des Mittelalters weniger dicht besiedelt und weite Teile wurden von nomadischen Gruppierungen als Winterweidegebiet genutzt. Heute prägen wenige Großstädte, dörfliche Ansiedlungen, Ackerflächen, Plantagen und zahlreiche Bewässerungskanäle das Landschaftsbild.
Susanne Rutishauser stellt die Kultur- und Landschaftsgeschichte des Ebenen Kilikien aus einer archäologischen Perspektive dar. Dafür werden die vorliegenden Informationen aus Ausgrabungen, Surveys und Textarchiven sowie die Auswertung von Fernerkundungsdaten zusammengeführt. Es zeigt sich u.a., dass die Lage spätbronzezeitlicher Fundplätze sowie Landschaftselemente auf historischen Satellitenbilddaten eine Bewässerung bereits während der Spätbronze- und Eisenzeit vermuten lassen.

Des céramiques et des hommes: Décoder les assemblages archéologiques
L’objectif de cet ouvrage est de fournir aux archéologues, étudiants et chercheurs, un cadre théorique et méthodologique pour étudier les assemblages céramiques. Ce cadre est fondé sur l’approche technologique qui, à travers le concept de chaîne opératoire, ambitionne une lecture anthropologique des objets archéologiques.
Pour mettre en œuvre cette lecture, l’auteur propose une stratégie de recherche originale dont l’exposé est au cœur de ce manuel. Cette stratégie conditionne l’organisation des différents chapitres dont la succession répond au souci didactique d’expliciter non seulement comment étudier des séries archéologiques, mais aussi pourquoi les modalités d’étude proposées sont incontournables pour aborder, de manière fondée, des champs interprétatifs ambitieux.

Waffenweihungen in griechischen Heiligtümern
Holger Baitinger
Bei Ausgrabungen in bedeutenden griechischen Heiligtümern wie Olympia oder Delphi wurden große Mengen an Waffen und Rüstungsstücken aus dem 8. bis 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. gefunden. Sie gelten als Beutestücke, die griechische Stadtstaaten nach siegreichen Schlachten den Göttern gestiftet haben.
Im vorliegenden Band wird die Sitte der Waffenweihungen in der griechischen Welt zwischen Sizilien und Zypern zusammenfassend untersucht. Mehr als 130 Heiligtümer mit Waffenfunden bilden die Basis der Auswertung, in die auch schriftliche und epigraphische Quellen Eingang gefunden haben. Somit wird der Band zum umfassenden Kompendium einer wichtigen Votivsitte der griechischen Antike.

Jemdet Nasr: The Digital Archive
Welcome to the Digital Archive of the Jemdet Nasr excavations. This site offers background information on the site of Jemdet Nasr, its historical importance, and the exploration of the site in the early 20th century as well as the renewed excavation in the late 1980s under the direction of Professor Roger Matthews while he was Director of the British School of Archaeology in Iraq. Unfortunately, due to the onset of the First Gulf War, a return to Jemdet Nasr has not yet happened. The Archive here presented offers a unique glimpse into archaeology in Iraq in the 1980s through the hundreds of Kodachrome colour slides that Prof Matthews took in the field. These slides show details of the archaeological remains and the artefacts uncovered, as well as candid stills of life in southern Iraq.
Frontiers of the Roman Empire: The Roman Army and the Limes / The Roman Limes in Hungary: A Római Birodalom Határai: A Római Hadsereg a Limesen / A Római Limes Magyarországon
The frontiers of the Roman empire together form the largest surviving monument of one of the world’s greatest states. They stretch for some 7,500 km through 20 countries which encircle the Mediterranean Sea. The remains of these frontiers have been studied by visitors and later by archaeologists for several centuries. Many of the inscriptions and sculpture, weapons, pottery and artefacts created and used by the soldiers and civilians who lived on the frontier can be seen in museums. Equally evocative of the lost might of Rome are the physical remains of the frontiers themselves. The aim of this series of booklets is not only to inform the interested visitor about the history of the frontiers but to act as a guidebook as well.
The Roman Empire reached its near full extent during the reign of Emperor Augustus. At that time Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the entire Mediterranean were part of it. The Hungarian part of the Empire had a river frontier that was more precisely called ripa. Pannonia province existed from the occupation during the reign of Emperor Augustus to the 20s and 30s of the 5th century A.D. Its border stretched alongside the Danube and was always one of the most important European frontiers in Roman times, as it is justified by keeping a very strong defence force there, consisting of 4 legions and an average of 30 auxiliary units. Some 420 km long section of the entire Pannonian limes from Klosterneuburg (Austria) to Belgrade (Serbia) belongs to the territory of present-day Hungary.

Communal Art – Reconceptualising Metrical Epigraphy Network (CARMEN)
A Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Network (ITN) funded within the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon 2020)
CARMEN explores Roman verse inscriptions as an important manifestation of communal art in Roman literary and visual culture. Carmina Latina Epigraphica, a corpus of some 4000 inscribed poems and poetic texts, were inscribed on publicly exposed monuments or objects used in public or private contexts. Exposed on lasting material such as stone, these poems accompanied the Roman Empire in its ever-changing configurations from the early third century BCE to Late Antiquity in an unbroken tradition that continues into the early Middle Ages and beyond.
Studying poetry in the epigraphic Roman tradition will help to regain an eminent body of European folk art tradition that could be produced and consumed by everybody, even semi-literates, perhaps even illiterates.

Concise Manual for Ceramic Studies
Romain David (éd.)
This bilingual English/Arabic manual is intended to accompany the training of future ceramic specialists in the Arab world. Resulting from the collaboration of four major institutions of French archaeology abroad: the Section française de la direction des Antiquités du Soudan (Sfdas), the Institut français d’archéologie orientale (Ifao), the Institut français du Proche-Orient (Ifpo) and the Centre français de recherche de la péninsule Arabique (Cefrepa), it draws on the recent work of specialists from the Nile Valley, the Near East and the Arabian Peninsula to shed light on the theoretical reflections that have enriched ceramic studies in recent decades. Providing a genuine field tool, this volume is nonetheless a skilfully illustrated collection of the contribution of ceramic studies to the understanding of human history.
Ce manuel bilingue anglais/arabe est destiné à accompagner la formation des futurs céramologues du monde arabe. Fruit de la collaboration de quatre institutions majeures de l’archéologie française à l’étranger ‑ la Section française de la direction des Antiquités du Soudan (Sfdas), l’Institut français d’archéologie orientale (Ifao), l’Institut français du Proche-Orient (IFPO), et le Centre français de recherche de la péninsule Arabique (Cefrepa) , il s’appuie sur les travaux récents des spécialistes de la vallée du Nil, du Proche-Orient et de la péninsule Arabique pour éclairer les réflexions théoriques dont la céramologie s’est enrichie ces dernières décennies. Véritable outil de terrain, ce volume n’en est pas moins un recueil savamment illustré de l’apport de la céramologie à la compréhension de l’histoire humaine.
