Con la figura señera de este judío universal como colofón, el presente relato da un repaso breve a los avatares de su pueblo, hasta el momento histórico en que Sefarad se convierte en el anhelo más profundo de todos los judios de la Diaspora. Intentare una aproximacion a aquella edad, de una forma sencilla y somera, rigurosa, aunque breve y nada academicista, pues no es el objeto principal del presente trabajo. Lo realmente hermoso es la pequeña biografia novelada de Hasday. De Abu Yusuf Hasday ben Isaac ibn Schaprut, aquel judio español que fuera hagib (1) de Abd al Rahman III, fundador del extraordinario califato de Qurtuba (Cordoba), una ciudad que en poco mas de cien años (850-976) reunio en torno a si, y puso a disposicion del mundo cristiano de Occidente todo el saber reunido hasta entonces, gracias a la imponderable labor llevada a cabo por el emir Abd al Rhaman II primero, Hasday despues, y el principe Al Hakem, un hombre preso de un amor desmedido por la cultura. El Califa Al Hakem II creo una inmensa biblioteca desde sus tiempos de principe, donde funcionaba un extraordinario taller de copistas, encuadernadores y miniaturistas. Con la ayuda de Hasday, mando agentes para ojear y comprar libros en El Cairo, Bagdad, Damasco y Alejandria; y desde la biblioteca, subvencionaba a escritores y estudiosos de Al-Andalus y de todo el mundo. Hablaremos tambien, como no, de Abderraman III, una personalidad venerada en el mundo islamico siempre que se pronuncia la palabra Al-Andalus , el paraiso sobre la tierra que durante mas de tres siglos (716-1031) constituyo el sueño dorado de la Historia Universal . Un andalusi universal, y la mas preeminente figura historica de Al-Andalus.

Este trabajo de investigación pretende ayudar a la reconstrucción del modo de vida del grupo humano que habita en "El Portalón" de Cueva Mayor de Atapuerca durante el Bronce Final, presentando con una mayor precision cronologica los materiales recuperados gracias a una excavacion minuciosa del nivel correspondiente, siguiendo el metodo de lechos puesto en practica por el Prof. Apellaniz. Pretende igualmente contrastar la hipotesis propuesta en l974 sobre la forma de organizacion en el Pais Vasco (Grupos de Santimamiñe y Los Husos) de la poblacion de pastores y agricultores que vive en cuevas en España desde el Neolitico hasta el Bronce Final, en que las abandona definitivamente. La conclusion fundamental del trabajo revela que no se puede aplicar a los pastores del Norte de la Meseta el modelo ideado para el Pais Vasco, pero a la vez que se reconoce otro tipo de organizacion en Grupos claramente diferenciados en el resto de España.

La arqueología es una ciencia social que ha tenido como objetivo primordial el estudio de las sociedades pasadas a partir de sus testimonios materiales ubicados en tiempo y espacio. A lo largo de su historia ha tendido puentes teoricos y empiricos con las ciencias exactas (como la fisica y la quimica), con las ciencias naturales (como la geologia y la biologia) y con ramas humanisticas (como la historia del arte o la filosofia), con el fin de enriquecer su bagaje teorico y para disponer de mejores herramientas analiticas. Este libro examina la demarcacion de la arqueologia mediante el estudio historico del desarrollo disciplinar y de la manera en que se ha conformado su marco conceptual a lo largo de su historia de 190 años. A partir de este analisis, se explica y se sostiene que la arqueologia es una ciencia hibrida que combina saberes de distintos campos del conocimiento y los adapta a sus propias necesidades.

Estas Jornadas, una más de las ya muchas que se vienen celebrando en el Museo Casa de los Tiros de Granada, sirvieron de reflexión sobre uno de los temas más apasionantes de la Arqueología Medieval, en concreto la que se refiere a la parte final de la Edad Media. Nos referimos a la ciudad nazari y especialmente a su papel en la organizacion de los territorios. Coincide con la fase final de un Proyecto de Investigacion I+D (Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia) sobre este mismo tema La ciudad nazari y su territorio (Ref. BHA2003-00743). Si algo se puede destacar del reino nazari es su elevadisimo grado de urbanizacion y el papel destacado de las ciudades en los diversos conjuntos territoriales que conformaba su espacio. No se trata solo de las grandes urbes, como Granada y los dos puertos costeros principales, Malaga y Almeria, sino tambien de nucleos medianos que regian ricos distritos, bien poblados de alquerias, como por ejemplo Guadix y Almuñecar por citar solo dos de ellos. El primero en el interior y el segundo en la costa. Tambien observamos la presencia de asentamientos, calificados como pequeñas ciudades o casi ciudades que estan evolucionando para convertirse en estructuras urbanas plenamente conformadas. Que la vida economica y comercial se centralizaba en todos y cada uno de estos nucleos, es algo bien sabido por las fuentes escritas, pero asi mismo, la investigacion arqueologica ha ido poniendo de relieve su topografia, su organizacion interna, su distribucion espacial, su relacion con el entorno agricola mas inmediato, etc. Aunque en el presente libro no se incluyen problemas observados de manera transversal, no cabe duda que los analisis de los nucleos urbanos que se presentan, permiten establecer debates de mayor contenido y que trascienden el marco concreto. En tal sentido hay que señalar algunas aportaciones sobre realidades parciales y especificas de algunas que tambien se estudian en su conjunto.

Visit any settlement in the land and there will be ancient buildings hidden in plain sight. Behind a Victorian façade is a Tudor house. Underneath a Georgian frontage is a mediaeval cottage. What is now a modern farm may once have been a castle. We know relatively little about the ancient buildings that surround us, yet buildings archaeology can offer us so many clues for discovering secret hidden historic houses. This book looks at the ways in which ancient buildings have been studied and conserved, the puzzling ways that some buildings became listed whereas others were overlooked, and how we can really understand the age and development of a structure. With over a quarter of a century of field experience, James Wright uses case studies drawn from his career to explain the fascinating, enigmatic, and frequently surprising world of The Buildings Archaeologist.

This book tells the big story of the city of York by exploring the small remnants of past lives. It will tell ancient stories that are a daily part of the modern city, such as the Tudor staircase still in use in an office building, and the medieval gargoyles watching people go by from their perches on the eaves of coffee shops.Yorks story unfolds through six sections. Protection explores how the city has survived centuries of threats through resilient architecture and infrastructure. Passageways examines its snickelways and spiritual routes, both physical and symbolic. Looking Down and Looking Up reveal hidden treasures often missed, from newly uncovered cobblestones to discoveries of ancient settlements and lost churches. Past Lives highlights influential figures whose legacies still shape the city, including the posthumous fame of Guy Fawkes. Years of Welcome turns to modern York, celebrating its pubs, cafes, and communal spaces. All of this rests on deep historical context reaching back to the citys beginnings.Join us for a journey where its all about the little things!

A comprehensive, fully illustrated A-Z guide to the English and Welsh parish church, dating from the post Roman period to the present day.Subjects covered include architecture, fitting an furnishings, traditions and customs, ecclesiastical history, and the role of the church in its community.

This anthology explores the fruitful encounters between deities and humans, drawing on a broad spectrum of research and discoveries ranging from ancient Levantine archaeology and iconography to history. It also includes studies from Assyriology and Egyptology as well as several contributions from Hebrew Bible studies, New Testament studies, Jewish studies as well as from dogmatic and practical theology. Taking Angelika Berlejungs 2021-article "Refreshed Cultic Kisses: Forms of Encounter Between Gods and Humans" as a starting point, this anthology deepens our understanding of how fruitful encounters between deities and humans have looked like in the past or may look like today.

The Great Isaiah Scroll lives up to its present-day name: with its over 7 meters, it preserves a complete text of one of the most extensive Hebrew Bible books. Leading experts in Dead Sea Scrolls studies take the reader on a tour from the Qumran settlement and the caves to the Scrolls and then focus on the Great Isaiah Scroll. They address the materiality of this scroll, such as the parchment and the ink, but also the jars. And they engage with the socio-historical context of the Scroll and its role in the reception of the Book of Isaiah. Several authors voice the history of finding the scroll.With contributions by George Brooke, Ruthanne Brooks, Claudia Colini, Sidnie White Crawford, Marta Feliciangeli, Marcello Fidanzio, Jorg Frey, Jutta Jorikanta, Jodi Magness, Noam Mizrahi, Dennis Mizzi, Hindy Najman, Grzegorz Nehring, Mladen Popovic, Ira Rabin, Rebekah Van Sant, Orit Shamir, Lawrence Schiffman, Naama Sukenik, Eibert Tigchelaar, and Emanuel Tov.

"The Chengdu Plain Archaeological Survey (CPAS), was an international collaborative archaeological project that took place over the course of five field seasons starting in 2005 under the direction of Rowan Flad (Harvard), Pochan Chen (National Taiwan University), Gwen Bennett (Washington University, St. Louis / McGill), Jiang Zhanghua (Chengdu City Institute of Archaeology) and Li Shuicheng (Peking University). The survey involved a multi-faced archaeological investigation of site locations and landscape use in an area of approximately 350 km2 surrounding two Neolithic walled sites (ca. 26001700 BCE): Pi Xian Gucheng (30? 54 15 N, 103? 55 25 E) and Yufucun (30? 45 15 N, 103? 50 05 E). Using a combination of surface collection, systematic coring, geophysics and test pits, team members conducted five seasons of investigations and collected thousands of data points useful for synthesizing changing land use contemporaneous with the cultural changes that occurred in the region from the Neolithic, through the subsequent Bronze Age and into the period of the Qin and Han Empires. Settlement patterns attest to a diachronic process that eventually gave rise to the Sanxingdui polity in the second millennium BCE, and subsequent Bronze Age cultures that occupied the region at the time of Qin conquest in 316 BCE. This report brings together the data from this survey and synthetic discussions of the prehistory and environment of the region. The database provides the first comprehensive, systematic, large-scale regional survey of archaeological material in the Sichuan Basin of China.

The Greek ostraca in this edition are dated to the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. They were found during fourteen seasons (2005-2018) of the excavations of the joint Mission of the Universita degli Studi di Milano and IFAO under the direction of Prof. Claudio Gallazzi. There is a variety of texts, e.g., a new literary text with peculiar compound words, various school exercises, two groups of ostraca or archives (of Akousilaos and of Papontos), reports, private letters, accounts, receipts, lists, records, memoranda, tags, and some peculiar texts. One of the most important texts of this edition is the complete semi-annual balance sheet of an association. The texts contribute to the social and economic history of Tebtynis and the prosopography of the village. Because of the archaeological context (trench-section-layer), some conclusions can be drawn concerning the place of provenance of the ostraca. There are examples of randomly scattered refuse in open places, e.g., streets, alleys, or courtyards (outside the doors or gates of a house), deliberate refuse in middens and dumps for domestic use in various areas (open places, collapsed houses, etc.) within a neighborhood or outside the village space, and some ostraca were found in the rubbish tips on the south-eastern side of the temple of Soknebtynis.

This volume is the first in a four-part series presenting the final results of the Molyvoti, Thrace, Archaeological Project (MTAP), a Greek-American synergasia project in northern Greece. The project is centered on a site often referred to as "Ancient Stryme," which ancient sources identified as an emporion (trading post) and polis settled by Thasians. Focusing on the 2013-2015 field seasons, this volume offers a detailed presentation of the sites stratigraphy, material culture, and historical development. It proposes a revised chronology, including a 4th-century BCE reoccupation after destruction possibly associated with Philip of Macedon, and traces diachronic change through the Early Byzantine period. Among the projects notable discoveries is a complete Classical house--one of the few uncovered in Aegean Thrace--offering valuable insights into domestic architecture and material culture. An intensive urban survey sheds light on the citys 4th-century BCE fortifications and harbors, significantly enhancing our understanding of the scale and function of coastal settlements in the region. In the surrounding chora, the areas first geomorphological study examines landscape use and shifts in the ancient coastline. Contributions from more than 20 scholars present the sites architecture, stratigraphy, ceramics, small finds, and geographical data. Together, these studies illuminate Greek-Thracian interactions, patterns of settlement and trade, and environmental change from prehistory through the Early Byzantine era in this understudied region of the northern Aegean.

In recent decades an expanding cadre of archaeologists has embarked to the field and laboratories. Their endeavors have sparked the collection of troves of data about worldwide pasts at multiple scales from the molecular to the macroregional. Investigation has been amplified by new technologies including computers, satellite imagery, mass spectrometry, and sequencers for ancient DNA. As information-rich findings are rapidly being deciphered, it is clear that the temporal depth and global breadth of archaeological discoveries are sufficiently rich to inform us regarding key contemporary issues--sustainability, inequality, governance, well-being, and heritage. Ernest Hooten once described archaeologists as "the senile playboys of science rooting in the rubbish heaps of antiquity." Although Hootens view of archaeology as an esoteric discipline remains intact in some quarters, clearly times have changed--and in this volume a diverse suite of archaeologists marshal their thoughts regarding the current state and future of the discipline.
