Ethnoarchaeology of Buildings 1

book cover  

An ethnoarchaeological approach is essential for studying the construction processes of past societies. However, this line of research has been relatively underexplored to date. This book brings together a diverse collection of case studies in the ethnoarchaeology of buildings from a wide variety of geographical contexts, from North (Morocco, Egypt) and East Africa (Ethiopia) to Central America (Mexico), Amazonia (Ecuador, French Guiana), the Andes (Argentina) and territories across Europe (Germany, Spain) and Asia (Turkey, Turkmenistan). Together they off er valuable insights and implications for archaeological research into domestic, traditional and vernacular architecture, associated social practices, their history, and the conservation of this scientifi c and cultural heritage.

Making and Meaning in the Bronze and Iron Ages: Chronology, Landscapes and Societies across Europe. Proceedings from the METALAGES2024 Colloquium (Florence, 23 October 2024)

book cover  

Union Internationale des Sciences Préhistoriques et Protohistoriques

Making and Meaning in the Bronze and Iron Ages brings together a wide-ranging selection of papers from the METALAGES2024 colloquium, offering new perspectives on chronology, material culture, and social life across prehistoric Europe and the Mediterranean. While grounded in the technical challenges of chronological research, this volume moves beyond dating frameworks to explore how time, production, and meaning intersect in archaeological interpretation.

Contributors engage with cutting-edge methods – including radiocarbon dating, dendrochronology, Bayesian modelling, and isotopic analysis – while critically examining their integration with typological sequences and regional cultural schemes. These studies demonstrate that chronology is not merely a technical tool, but a dynamic field that shapes our understanding of human agency, cultural interaction, and historical change.

At the same time, the volume reflects the diversity of current research in the Bronze and Iron Ages. Case studies span settlement networks in Ireland and northern Britain, dendrochronological sequences in Italy, and fortified landscapes in Central and Western Europe. Other contributions address gender, personhood, craft production, and long-distance connections in Mediterranean societies, highlighting the interplay between material practices and social meanings.

By bringing together methodological innovation and interpretative insight, this collection captures the collaborative and interdisciplinary spirit of the METALAGES series of international colloquia, organized by the UISPP Scientific Commission Metal Ages in Europe and the Mediterranean. It offers an essential resource for scholars interested in the evolving relationships between chronology, landscape, and society in later European prehistory.

Ǧibrīl ibn Nūḥ al-Anbārī, The Kitāb al-iʿtibāṛ fī l-malakūt: The Reception of Aristotle in a Ninth-Century Christian-Arabic Theodicy

Ǧibrīl ibn Nūḥ al-Anbārī, The Kitāb al-iʿtibāṛ fī l-malakūt: The Reception of Aristotle in a Ninth-Century Christian-Arabic Theodicy
Edited by: Wim Raven
book: Ǧibrīl ibn Nūḥ al-Anbārī, The <i>Kitāb al-iʿtibāṛ fī l-malakūt</i> 

Aristoteles Semitico-Latinus, Volume: 27

Lessons on God’s Majesty', an Arabic text written in Iraq around 850 CE by the Nestorian Christian Ǧibrīl b. Nūḥ al-Anbārī, is a collection of proofs of God’s existence (arguments from design). Drawing on the works of ancient philosophers and physiologists as well as Christian authors, the text also contains the author's original, sometimes amusing personal observations. While philosophical in nature, the work extends into theology where it discusses the problem of evil. Rather than addressing Christians or Muslims, who already acknowledge one creator, it is aimed at those who believe in two creators or in no creation at all.
