    Phrygian linguistics and epigraphy: new insights

    Institut del Pròxim Orient Antic
        
    These are good times for research on Phrygian. More scholars than ever are focusing on this language and many novelties (including new inscriptions and innovative interpretations) are emerging relatively frequently. Promoting the diversity of starting point and focuses is a way to improve our knowledge and to achieve a better vision of the Phrygian language and the people who once spoke and wrote it. This book offers a range of approaches to Phrygian-related issues, with contributions from six relevant scholars working on this language (Ignasi-Xavier Adiego, Milena Anfosso, María Paz de Hoz, Anna Elisabeth Hämmig, Bartomeu Obrador-Cursach an Zsolt Simon).

    Bibliography of Emar studies

    The ancient Near Eastern city of Emar (also called Imar)—modern Old Meskene (Meskene Qadima) or Tell Meskene—was discovered in the course of rescue excavations conducted during the construction of a dam near Tabqa, in northern Syria. Between 1972 and 1976, excavations were carried out by a French team. Archaeological activities were resumed in 1991, first by the Department of Antiquities in Aleppo, and then from 1996 to 2002 by a joint Syrian-German mission. During the French excavations, more than 1100 clay tablets—or fragments of tablets—were discovered, most of them written in Akkadian and Sumerian, covering a wide range of genres. Illegal digs—that took place after the French team left the site—also produced about 350 tablets. The material can be dated approximately to the second half of the 2nd millennium BC, i.e., the Late Bronze Age. The extraordinary importance of the Emar texts led to the development of an international and very productive field of research that goes beyond disciplinary boundaries. Against this background, the idea of a thematically organised bibliography of studies on Emar was born in the early 2000s and published in eight issues in the journal Ugarit-Forschungen. The 50th anniversary of the start of the excavations at Emar is a good opportunity to make the entire bibliography available in book form. To the usual thematic outline, a list of book reviews has been added, as well as a complete bibliographical list, arranged by author.

    Byzantine gold coins, with their intricate designs and rich historical context, serve as remarkable artifacts that illuminate the connections between ancient civilizations. These coins, prized for their beauty and symbolism, functioned not only as a medium of exchange but also as instruments of imperial propaganda, conveying messages of authority, faith, and cultural identity across vast territories. Their discovery in China offers compelling evidence of the extensive trade networks and cultural exchanges along the Silk Road. At the Institute for the History of Ancient Civilizations (IHAC), these extraordinary finds have become a cornerstone for exploring the interactions between the Byzantine Empire and ancient China. To facilitate this research, IHAC is establishing a comprehensive database of Byzantine gold coins discovered in China under the guideline of EpiDoc. This database is the first to focus specifically on Byzantine gold coins discovered in China, integrates detailed numismatic analysis with historical and archaeological insights, offering students and researchers a unique opportunity to delve into the complexities of East-West connections.

    New approaches on Anatolian linguistics

    This volume brings together the culmination of the philological and linguistic work undertaken by a wide range of experts in Anatolian languages. These works are framed by the following coordinated projects, funded by the Spanish State Re- search Agency: Los dialectos lúvicos del grupo anatolio: escritura, gramática, léxico, onomástica (PGC2018-098037-B-C21), coordinated by the Universitat de Barcelona; and Los dialectos lúvicos del grupo anatolio: gramática, léxico (PGC2018-098037-B-C22), coordinated by the Universidade de Santiago de Com- postela.

    Le monde grec des foulons: Histoire et archéologie d’un métier du textile dans l’Orient grec

    Les foulons font partie de ces artisans du textile indispensables à la vie quotidienne des Anciens, et néanmoins restés trop longtemps oubliés de l’Histoire. Leur rôle était pourtant primordial pour l’économie de la production textile, puisqu’ils œuvraient à la finition des étoffes, et en même temps tout à fait banal, puisque c’est à eux aussi que les habitants confiaient au quotidien leurs vêtements à nettoyer. Cet ouvrage nous plonge dans le monde des foulons de l’Orient grec (Égypte comprise), en tentant, à partir d’une étude technique de leurs ateliers et d’une archéologie des chaînes opératoires, de replacer ces artisans du textile dans leur environnement professionnel, économique, mais aussi social et civique. Le croisement systématique de toutes les données disponibles – textes littéraires, inscriptions, papyrus, sources iconographiques et archéologiques – permet de faire sortir de l’ombre ces travailleurs méconnus du quotidien, en les réhabilitant en tant qu’acteurs historiques des sociétés grecques et hellénisées de la Méditerranée orientale sur près d’un millénaire.
