Αncient Greek II: A 21st-Century Approach

Αncient Greek II: A 21st-Century Approach

Philip S. Peek (author)

 

In this elementary textbook, Philip S. Peek draws on his twenty-five years of teaching experience to present the ancient Greek language in an imaginative and accessible way that promotes creativity, deep learning, and diversity.

The course is built on three pillars: memory, analysis, and logic. Readers memorize the top 550 most frequently occurring ancient Greek words, the essential word endings, the eight parts of speech, and the grammatical concepts they will most frequently encounter when reading authentic ancient texts. Analysis and logic exercises enable the identification of clitics and full words as well as the translation and parsing of genuine ancient Greek sentences, with compelling reading selections in English and in Greek offering starting points for contemplation, debate, and reflection. A series of thirty entries by James F. Patterson, using a simplified morphophonemic approach to understanding language improve readers’ understanding of word formation, their vocabulary, and their ability to read and understand Ancient Greek.

This combination of memory-based learning and concept- and skill-based learning gradually builds the confidence of the reader, teaching them how to learn by guiding them from a familiarity with the basics to proficiency in reading this beautiful language. Ancient Greek II: A 21st-Century Approach is written for high-school and university students, but is an instructive and rewarding text for anyone who wishes to learn ancient Greek.

Mistaken Identity. Identitäten als Ressourcen im zentralen Mittelmeerraum

Mistaken Identity. Identitäten als Ressourcen im zentralen Mittelmeerraum

Sossau, Veronika; Riehle, Kai 

Sowohl Individuen als auch soziale Gruppen defi nieren sich über ein Gefl echt ganz unterschiedlicher Zugehörigkeiten, die je nach Situation bewusst betont oder angepasst werden. Diese Vielschichtigkeit von Identitätsgefl echten und die Nutzung von Identität als soziale Ressource erschweren das Verständnis von Zugehörigkeiten antiker Akteure. Dies führte gerade bei Versuchen, Befunde und Individuen mit kollektiven Identitäten wie Ethnien zu verbinden, zu Widersprüchen, Vereinfachungen und Fehlzuordnungen. Die daraus entstandenen mistaken identities wiederum hatten und haben mitunter weitreichende Konsequenzen für Interpretationen von archäologischem Fundmaterial. Der vorliegende Band diskutiert diese Schwierigkeiten einerseits auf theoretischer und wissenschaftsgeschichtlicher Ebene und legt andererseits konkrete Beispiele spezifi scher materieller Kontexte vor, die die Probleme und Grenzen im Umgang mit der Verknüpfung von Objekten und ethnischen oder kulturellen, politischen und religiösen Identitäten aufzeigen. Nicht zuletzt werden auch mistaken identities in Form von Fehlzuordnungen an der Materialbasis thematisiert und das Potential naturwissenschaftlicher Analysenmethoden im Zusammenhang mit Identitätsdiskursen in archäologischen Kontexten zur Diskussion gestellt. Die hier gesammelten Beiträge entstanden im Anschluss an die internationale Konferenz „Mistaken Identity“, die vom 17.–19. November 2016 am Institut für Klassische Archäologie der Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen abgehalten wurde.

L’exploitation minière dans le sud-ouest de la Gaule entre le second âge du Fer et la période romaine. Le district de l’Arize dans son contexte régional

L’exploitation minière dans le sud-ouest de la Gaule entre le second âge du Fer et la période romaine. Le district de l’Arize dans son contexte régional

Meunier, Emmanuelle

The exploitation of mining resources has been practised in all the mountainous massifs of south-western Gaul (Pyrenees, Corbières, Montagne Noire) at all periods. This book offers a synthesis about the mines of the Second Iron Age and the Roman period, for which the data has been largely renewed since the beginning of the year 2000’s. After a general presentation of the mining and metallurgical sites known in the region, the case of the argentiferous copper district of the northern front of the Arize Montains is discussed more specifically, with an account of the field results. This work led to the identification of the beginning of the activity between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC, according to the calibrated radiocarbon dates obtained from the mines. This phase of exploitation, hitherto totally unknown for this district, echoes similar results obtained in other mines in the region and can be related to the widespread economic development observed throughout Celtic Europe in the 3rd century BC. These results lead to reconsider the importance of the late-Republican exploitation phase and the impact of the Roman takeover of the region on local mining production. These elements are taken up in a general discussion that gives an overview of the regional data compared to other known sites, in Gaul or the Iberian Peninsula, for the same chronologies. The data from mining archaeology is then related with the data available from the archaeological and historical contexts. This contributes to identify the dynamics at work in the evolution of mining in south-west Gaul and to better understand the modalities of the transition between the Second Iron Age world and the Roman Empire.

100 Years of Archaeology at the University of Michigan: Essays on the Past, Present, and Future of the Discipline

100 Years of Archaeology at the University of Michigan: Essays on the Past, Present, and Future of the Discipline

The University of Michigan has been at the forefront of archaeological research for more than 100 years, since 1922, when the Museum of Anthropology (now the Museum of Anthropological Archaeology) was established on the Ann Arbor campus. The goal of its curators for many decades was to create a research and teaching program that emphasized methodological rigor in the analysis of archaeological materials, attempting to solve grand questions about human behavior through fieldwork, collections, and laboratory work. About fifty years ago, the Museum's emphasis shifted to developing archaeological theory when a new generation of curators with processualist leanings made Ann Arbor a testing ground for the so-called New Archaeology. Now, archaeology stands at a crossroads. Some archaeologists refer to the death of archaeological theory. Others stake out opposed camps of generalists and particularists. At U-M, as at many other universities, the past decade has seen a new commitment to collaborative archaeology, working with descendant communities and acknowledging the discipline's roots in colonialism and extraction. In 2022, to celebrate a century of existence, the University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology (UMMAA) hosted an international conference to explore possibilities for a middle way: an archaeology for the next 100 years, combining humanistic and scientific approaches, which allows for both agents and systems, description and explanation, science and heritage. This volume is meant to be a snapshot of that conference and this moment in the development of the discipline. Included are most of the papers and posters presented, as well as photographs of the panels and the proceedings.

Instrumentum navis. Le àncore litiche e plumbee della Soprintendenza del Mare della Regione Siciliana

Instrumentum navis. Le àncore litiche e plumbee della Soprintendenza del Mare della Regione Siciliana

By Valentina Purpura

This study, in collaboration with the Superintendency of the Sea of the Sicilian Region, catalogs lithic, leaden, and metal anchors from Sicily's underwater environment. It includes historical research on anchor types, navigation, and ports, and lays the foundations to create a digital map of findings using GIS for future research.

Instrumentum navis: Le àncore litiche e plumbee della Soprintendenza del Mare della Regione Siciliana is the result of a study carried out in collaboration with the Sicilian Region's Superintendency of the Sea. It concerns the study of all the lithic, lead and metal anchors from the Sicilian underwater environment, deposited in the rooms of the Arsenal of the Royal Navy in Palermo, in the warehouse of the former Roosevelt Institute in Addaura, and in the courtyard of Palazzetto Mirto in Palermo, the headquarters of the Superintendency of the Sea.

The study on the anchors was conducted through an extensive census, documentation and archive study that offered a chance to understand the numerical consistency of the property and its value.

The census and cataloguing activity continued with historical research on the types of anchors over the centuries and the impact they had on navigation, routes and ports in ancient times, as well as on the birth of the underwater collection in Sicily and the creation of the Superintendency of the Sea, which has carefully and innovatively managed the entire Sicilian underwater archaeological sector over the last twenty years.

For the anchors described here, and through the entry registers and ancient publications, it was possible to trace the data on the places where the anchors were found, which covered the entire coastline of Sicily, including the smaller islands, thus providing the starting point for the creation of a digital mapping of the finds through the G.I.S. (Geographic Information System) and providing a guideline for future research.

Instrumentum navis: Le àncore litiche e plumbee della Soprintendenza del Mare della Regione Siciliana è il risultato di uno studio realizzato in collaborazione con la Sovrintendenza del Mare della Regione Siciliana e riguarda lo studio di tutte le àncore il litico, ancore di piombo e metallo provenienti dall’ambiente sottomarino siciliano, depositate nelle sale dell'Arsenale della Marina Reale di Palermo, nel magazzino dell'ex Istituto Roosevelt ad Addaura e nel cortile del Palazzetto Mirto a Palermo, sede della Sovrintendenza del Mare.

Lo studio sulle àncore è stato condotto con un'ampia attività di censimento, documentazione e studio di archivio che ha permesso di comprendere la consistenza numerica del posseduto e di comprenderne il valore.

L'attività di censimento e catalogazione è proseguita con la ricerca storica dei tipi di ancore nel corso dei secoli e l’impatto che esse avevano sulla navigazione, le rotte e i porti in tempi antichi, ma anche sulla nascita della collezione subacquea in Sicilia e della creazione della Soprintendenza del Mare, che negli ultimi vent'anni ha gestito con attenzione e innovazione l'intero settore archeologico subacqueo siciliano.

Per le àncore qui descritte e attraverso i registri di entrata e le antiche pubblicazioni, è stato possibile risalire ai dati relativi ai luoghi in cui sono state trovate le àncore, che ha interessato l'intera fascia costiera della Sicilia, comprese le isole minori, costituendo così il punto di partenza per la creazione di una mappatura digitale dei reperti attraverso il sistema G.I.S. (Geographic Information System) e fornendo una linea guida per future ricerche.

Otto Rubensohn's Excavations on Paros I: The Sanctuaries on Kounados Hill

Otto Rubensohn's Excavations on Paros I: The Sanctuaries on Kounados Hill

By Tomáš Alušík, Pavla Alušíková Dostalíková

This book transcribes Otto Rubensohn's unpublished texts and photos of small sanctuaries on Kounados Hill, Paros. It highlights Rubensohn's contributions to archaeology, despite his brief career, and aims to enhance understanding of Greek archaeology and the history of the field.

Otto Rubensohn’s Excavations on Paros I: The Sanctuaries on Kounados Hill is the first volume in a forthcoming series of editions of archival sources from the estate of the German archaeologist Otto Rubensohn, housed in the archives of the Jewish Museum in Berlin. It contains the transcription of three texts concerning the sites (small ancient sanctuaries) on Kounados Hill on the Greek island of Paros (in the Cyclades), with the original photos.

Otto Rubensohn (1867-1964) was a German archaeologist of Jewish origin. Although his involvement in the field of archaeology was relatively short and he spent most of his career teaching in elementary and secondary schools, he is now one of the respected German archaeologists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily because of his excavations on the Greek island of Paros and in Egypt. Unfortunately, his importance for German and Greek Classical archaeology and Egyptology is still not fully understood and appreciated.

As the sanctuaries on Kounados were rather preliminarily published by Rubensohn and haven’t been excavated (or thoroughly investigated) in the last 120 years, the transcription and publication of the unpublished texts and images will add some new information on these sites as well as on the history of archaeology in Greece at the turn of the last centuries.

The book is intended for archaeologists, dealing with Greek archaeology, and historians specializing in the history of archaeology (or the history of science and intellectual history in general).

Mauné, Stéphane (editor)

Tămaş, Călin Gabriel (editor)

Meunier, Emmanuelle (editor)

Fabre, Jean-Marc (editor)

Hiriart, Eneko (editor)

This book, offered to Béatrice Cauuet by her colleagues and friends, brings together more than seventy authors and over thirty contributions dealing with all the fields of the research she carried out during her career as researcher at the CNRS. The articles gathered here cover a large part of Europe and a broad chronology spanning from the Neolithic to the modern period. The structure of the volume follows this chronological path, which shows, over four millennia, the importance of the mines and metals for the ancient societies. Through presentations of mining sites or mining areas, ref lections on the tools, techniques and management of mining operations, as well as approaches dealing with the uses of metals, the economic and societal aspects of mining and metallurgical production are also revealed.

What Would Hercules Do? Lessons for Autistic Children Using Classical Myth

What Would Hercules Do? Lessons for Autistic Children Using Classical Myth

Deacy, Professor Susan

One day, according to the Ancient Greek author Xenophon, the hero Hercules “went out to a quiet place and sat, pondering”. This book explores what happened here and how and why it can resonate with autistic young people. The book presents a set of ten lessons, each dealing with an aspect of what happened when Hercules entered the quiet place, met two women (or goddesses, or personifications…) and was tasked to make a choice between two paths, literal and metaphorical. The lessons deal, too, with particular dimensions of autism, including: communicating, emotions, decision-making, sensory experiences, planning and interests. This pathbreaking book should be of particular interest to professionals and practitioners looking to utilize the appeal of mythology in their work with autistic children and academics in areas such as education, Classics and literature interested in the experiential application of their subject.

Like a Captive Bird: Gender and Virtue in Plutarch

Like a Captive Bird: Gender and Virtue in Plutarch

Warren, Lunette

The full extent of Plutarch's moral educational program remains largely understudied, at least in those aspects pertaining to women and the gendered other. As a result, scholarship on his views on women have differed significantly in their conclusions, with some scholars suggesting that he is overwhelmingly positive towards women and marriage and perhaps even a "precursor to feminism," and others arguing that he was rather negative on the issue. Like a Captive Bird: Gender and Virtue in Plutarch is an examination of these educational methods employed in Plutarch's work to regulate the expression of gender identity in women and men. In six chapters, author Lunette Warren analyzes Plutarch's ideas about women and gender in Moralia and Lives. The book examines the divergences between real and ideal, the aims and methods of moral philosophy and psychagogic practice as they relate to identity formation, and Plutarch's theoretical philosophy and metaphysics. Warren argues that gender is a flexible mode of being that expresses a relation between body and soul, and that gender and virtue are inextricably entwined. Plutarch's expression of gender is also an expression of a moral condition that signifies relationships of power, Warren claims, especially power relationships between the husband and wife. Uncovered in these texts is evidence of a redistribution of power, which allows some women to dominate other women and, in rare cases, men too. Like a Captive Bird offers a unique and fresh interpretation of Plutarch's metaphysics which centers gender as one of the organizational principles of nature. It is aimed at scholars of Plutarch, ancient philosophy, and ancient gender studies, especially those who are interested in feminist studies of antiquity.

The Common Thread: Collected Essays in Honour of Eva Andersson Strand

The Common Thread: Collected Essays in Honour of Eva Andersson Strand 

Editors Ulla Mannering, Marie-Louise Nosch, and Anne Drewsen

The Ancient Egyptians used it for both the living and the dead, the Greeks and Romans used it to signal their status, and it aided the Vikings in reaching the far shores of Europe and Eurasia. Textiles have surrounded us, literally and figuratively for millennia, but this common thread has long been ignored in scholarly research. With the inception of the Centre for Textile Research at the University of Copenhagen in 2005, however, this approach changed fundamentally, and today, every type of research discipline comes together to begin unravelling the stories told by textiles. How do we understand textiles and how do we talk about them? Who produced textiles, where, and for what purposes? How do we conduct research into the origins of materials? How did cultivating flax or raising sheep change the ancient landscape? How have we researched textiles so far? What can we learn from textiles about society, gender, and production? This volume engages with these questions and explores how the fabric of society has changed through researching textiles in all its facets, from archaeology and history to natural sciences. Taking as its starting point the research interests and career of its honorand, Eva Andersson Strand, this meticulously researched volume consists of three parts, covering the tools and techniques that form the basis of all research explores; how craftspeople made use of tools and techniques; and how textiles have been used over millennia to signify identity and status.
