Book Synopsis Flint Trade in the Protohistoric Levant by : Francesca Manclossi
Download or read book Flint Trade in the Protohistoric Levant written by Francesca Manclossi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flint Trade in the Protohistoric Levant offers an in-depth case study of the production and exchange of tabular scrapers. Crossing cultural and ecological boundaries and traded from the desert to the settled zone, these tools encompassed both ritual and quotidian functions over the course of well over the two millennia of the existence of the exchange system. Analyses focus on the changing nature of the production systems, dynamics of value in changing contexts of production and use, ritual contexts and meaning. Extending throughout the Levant, the tabular scraper complex is compared and contrasted to other contemporary production and exchange systems (ceramics, chipped stone, ground stone, copper, beads), offering a rich picture of the complexities of late prehistoric trade, transcending linear evolutionary frameworks, and simple models. Adopting a chaîne opératoire approach to the use-life of the artifacts, the artifacts can be seen to transform over time and place, made, used, recycled, and ultimately discarded, each stage in its own cultural contexts. The rise and decline of this exchange complex reflects both the geo-political history of the region and the general role of lithic industries in these societies. Focusing on late prehistoric times in the Near East, the discussions will of relevance to all researchers interested in the role of exchange in the evolution of complex economies. It offers an analysis of exchange systems based on a matrix of factors which should be of interest to all researchers interested in the evolution of trade.

Book Synopsis “And in Length of Days Understanding” (Job 12:12) by : Erez Ben-Yosef
Download or read book “And in Length of Days Understanding” (Job 12:12) written by Erez Ben-Yosef and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-02 with total page 1956 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume book presents cutting-edge archaeological research, primarily as practiced in the Eastern Mediterranean region. These volumes’ key foci are inspired by the work of Thomas E. Levy. Volume 1 provides an in-depth look at new archaeological research in the southern Levant (primarily in modern Israel and Jordan) inspired by Levy’s commitment to understanding social, political, and economic processes in a long-term or “deep time” perspective. Volume 2 focuses on new research in several key areas of 21st century anthropological archaeology and archaeological science. Volume 1 is organized around two major themes: 1) the later prehistory of the southern Levant, or the Neolithic, Chalcolithic, and Bronze Age, and 2) new research in biblical archaeology, or the historical archaeology of the Iron Age. Each section contains a combination of new perspectives on key debates and studies introducing new research questions and directions. Volume 2 is organized around five major themes: 1) the archaeology of the Faynan copper ore district of southern Jordan, a key region for archaeometallurgical research in West Asia where Levy conducted field research for over a decade, 2) new research in archaeometallurgy beyond the Faynan region, 3) marine and maritime archaeology, focusing on issues of trade and environmental change, 4) cyber-archaeology, an important 21st century field Levy conceived as “the marriage of archaeology, engineering, computer science, and the natural sciences,” and 5) key issues in anthropological archaeological theory. In addition to presenting the reader with an up-to-date view of research in each of these areas, the volume also has chapters exploring the connections between these themes, e.g. the maritime trade of metals and cyber-/digital archaeological approaches to metallurgy. The work contains contributions from both up-and-coming early career researchers and key established figures in their fields. This book is an essential reference for archaeologists and scholars in related disciplines working in the southern Levant and the Eastern Mediterranean.

The book begins with a theoretical introduction to the concept of material religion and features editor introductions to each of its six parts, which tackle the following themes: the human body; religious architecture; the written word; sacred images; the spirituality of animals; and the sacred role of the landscape. Illustrated with over 100 images, chapters provide insight into every element of religion and materiality, from the largest building to the smallest amulet. This is a benchmark work for further studies on material religion in the ancient Near East and Egypt.

This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Manufacture of Gun-Flints, the Methods of Excavating for Flint, the Age of Palaeolithic Man, and the Connexion Between Neolithic Art and the Gun-Flint Trade The observations upon the kind of hammer used, the character of the blows given, and the resulting nature of the fracture produced are original, and founded upon a close study of the different modes in which int can be broken. The illustrations are nearly all very faithful copies of particular specimens. Owing to my not being able to superintend the drawing, some of the gun-hints are slightly faulty, the trimmed heels being omitted. If it be remembered that all but double-edged ints have a trimmed heel, no error can arise in naming the Hints. The English hammer has suffered perfection. It is (as needs must be) a very battered specimen, but the kindly artist has feelingly restored its lost beauties, and unwittingly robbed it of its more important peculiarities. It is well also to remark that the Doubles in this collection are all rather too large, and hence too much like the Singles. This will be remedied if this work attains to a second edition.

Book Synopsis An Investigation into Early Desert Pastoralism by : Steven A. Rosen
Download or read book An Investigation into Early Desert Pastoralism written by Steven A. Rosen and published by Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Press. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Negev focuses on two primary purposes, one theoretical/methodological and the second substantive. Briefly stated, the book comprises a case study of excavations at an early (ca. 2800 B.C.) pastoral site in the Negev, providing detailed analyses and a synthetic overview of a seasonal encampment from this early period in the evolution of desert pastoral societies. It thus both demonstrates the feasibility of an archaeology of early mobile pastoralism and grapples with the basic anthropological and methodological issues surrounding the subject. Substantively, both the architectural and material culture assemblages uncovered constitute the first detailed analysis of this early desert culture and include materials previously unreported for the region and period. Historically, the Camel Site is placed in a larger perspective of the beginnings of multiresource nomadism in relation to the rise of complex societies.

Book Synopsis Studies on the Levantine Trade in the Middle Ages by : Eliyahu Ashtor
Download or read book Studies on the Levantine Trade in the Middle Ages written by Eliyahu Ashtor and published by Variorum Publishing. This book was released on 1978 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast resources in the archives of the old trading cities round the Mediterranean have only comparatively recently begun to be fully explored, and they continue to yield new riches. In these studies, which combine the results of such research, in particular in Venice, Genoa, Prato, Ancona and Palermo, with the plentiful data provided by Arabic sources, Professor Ashtor examines the actual mechanics of the Levantine trade, and analyses such crucial problems as the weights and measures used and the changes in prices. He also sets this trade in its broader historical context, both from the point of view of international relations, and as an aspect of Near Eastern history in the period following the Crusades.
