        Boundaries Archaeology: Economy, Sacred Places, Cultural Influences in the Ionian and Adriatic Areas

        Boundaries Archaeology: Economy, Sacred Places, Cultural Influences in the Ionian and Adriatic Areas
        Enrico Giorgi , Giuseppe Lepore , Anna Gamberini (Hrsg.)
        ISBN 978-3-947450-79-4 (PDF)

        Archaeology and Economy in the Ancient World – Proceedings of the 19th International Congress of Classical Archaeology, Cologne/Bonn 2018
        Boundaries Archaeology: Economy, Sacred Places, Cultural Influences in the Ionian and Adriatic Areas 
        Die Gebiete des adriatisch-ionischen Raums waren sowohl aus politischer als auch aus kultureller Sicht voneinander abgegrenzt, sodass sie einen hervorragenden Raum für das Studium antiken wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Austauschs darstellen. Dieses Aufeinandertreffen von Kulturen führte zu wechselseitigen Einflüssen und zu kultureller Osmose auf verschiedenen Ebenen und zu verschiedenen Zeiten. Unterschiedliche historische und geographische Rahmenbedingungen führten hierbei oftmals zu ähnlichen Ergebnissen.

        Jüngste archäologische Forschungen lassen dabei vermuten, dass Heiligtümer und heilige Orte geeignete Kontexte sind, in denen diese Phänomene analysiert werden können, da sie in ihrer Rolle als Begegnungsorte und Stätten kultureller Unterweisung besonders von wirtschaftlichen und politischen Interessen geprägt wurden.

        Die in diesem Buch gesammelten Beiträge behandeln diese Themen aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln, einschließlich Studien zur Geschichtsschreibung, zur materiellen Kultur und zur Numismatik. Die Fallstudien des adriatischen Raumes konzentrieren sich auf die Westküste und insbesondere auf den Bereich des Ager Gallicus und Picenum, wobei hier ein besonderer Schwerpunkt auf jenen Zeiten liegt, welche der Etablierung der römischen Herrschaft in diesem Gebiet vorausgehen und diese mit einschließen (3. / 2. Jh. v. Chr.). Die Fallstudien des südadriatischen und ionischen Raumes konzentrieren sich hingegen auf Apulien und das Gebiet von Illyrien und Epirus von archaischer Zeit bis zum Beginn der Römerzeit (4. – 1. Jh. v. Chr.).

        Early Athens: Settlements and Cemeteries in the Submycenaean, Geometric, and Archaic Periods


        Early Athens: Settlements and Cemeteries in the Submycenaean, Geometric, and Archaic Periods 
        Dimitriadou, Eirini M. 
        (2019)

         Cover page of Early Athens: Settlements and Cemeteries in the Submycenaean, Geometric, and Archaic Periods
        This volume is one of the most important works on ancient Athens in the last fifty years. The focus is on the early city, from the end of the Bronze Age—ca. 1200 BCE—to the Archaic period, when Athens became the largest city of the Classical period. From a systematic study of all the excavation reports and surveys in central Athens, the author has synthesized a detailed diachronic overview of the city from the Submycenaean period through the Archaic. It is a treasure-trove of information for archaeologists who work in this period. Of great value as well are the detailed maps included, which present features of ancient settlements and cemeteries, the repositories of the human physical record. Over eighty additional large-scale...

        Landscape History of Hadramawt: The Roots of Agriculture in Southern Arabia (RASA Project 1998-2008)

        Landscape History of Hadramawt: The Roots of Agriculture in Southern Arabia (RASA Project 1998-2008) 
        Editor(s): McCorriston, Joy, Harrower, Michael J.
        2020
        Cover page of Landscape History of Hadramawt: The Roots of Agriculture in Southern Arabia (RASA Project 1998-2008)
        The rugged highlands of southern Yemen are one of the less archaeologically explored regions of the Near East. This final report of survey and excavations by the Roots of Agriculture in Southern Arabia (RASA) Project addresses the development of food production and human landscapes, topics of enduring interest as scholarly conceptualizations of the Anthropocene take shape. Along with data from Manayzah, site of the earliest dated remains of clearly domesticated animals in Arabia, the volume also documents some of the earliest water management technologies in Arabia, thereby anchoring regional dates for the beginnings of pastoralism and of potential farming.
         The authors argue that the initial Holocene inhabitants of Wadi Sana were Arabian hunters who adopted limited pastoral stock in small social groups, then expanded their social collectives through sacrifice and feasts in a sustained pastoral landscape. This volume will be of interest to a wide audience of archaeologists including not only those working in Arabia, but more broadly those interested in the ancient Near East, Africa, South Asia, and in Holocene landscape histories generally.
