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.

When was Britain last truly wild? And what, if anything, remains? This is the unexpectedly human history of wild Britain. In Wilderlands, archaeologist Eloise Kane unearths 12,000 years of our changing relationship with and influence on the landscape. Through prehistory, Roman occupation, the Middle Ages and beyond, we see the unfamiliar beasts of our old wild make way for species such as brown hare and fallow deer, now romanticised as eternal symbols of the British countryside, but introduced much later than we might think.Places free from our influence havent existed for a very long time. But Eloise Kane invites us to rethink our definition of the wild - not as separate from us. Seen anew as the result of millions of human lives lived, Wilderlands demonstrates how we are integral to the ecology and biodiversity of our land - with the power to shape its future.

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.

This volume presents the unique history of ancient Egypt through 50 artefacts discovered during excavations of the EES since its founding in 1882. They are brought together in this volume from global museums: from major collections as well as those that are a little less known. Readers will travel through three millennia of Egypts history from the Early Dynastic to the end of the Graeco-Roman Period uncovering the daily lives of the ancient Egyptians by investigating everyday items, as well as the elite objects of the ruling classes. Alongside these artefacts, further topics are unpacked relating to the history of Egypt and Egyptology as well as those characters that have played a role in the discovery of ancient Egypt. Each object entry is written by an expert in their field and contributions already include several items from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Metropolitan Museum in New York as well as the University Museum of Kyoto, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, and Bolton Museum.

This volume examines lending practices in Egypt during the Ptolemaic period (332-30 BCE), especially, but not exclusively, through the lens of the demotic loan-account papyri of Panas, son of Espmetis. It begins by introducing some of the issues associated with the history of ancient lending, and surveys previous discussions of lending practices in Ptolemaic Egypt. It then introduces the demotic loan-account papyri of Panas, and how they alter the current understanding of lending in Ptolemaic Egypt. The volume explores the contents of the papyri, placing them in their social, legal, and historical contexts, and concludes with a full edition of the papyri.

Erstmalig werden in diesem Beiheft Pyramidentexte behandelt, die den Schutz des Verstorbenen durch die Gottin Nut und seine sichere Reise ins Jenseits thematisieren. Die Verwendung dieser Texte wird im Zusammenhang mit den Ritualen betrachtet, die wahrend der Stundenwachen in der Nacht vor dem Begrabnis durchgefuhrt wurden, und untersucht die Uberlieferung der Texte vom Alten Reich bis in die griechisch-romische Zeit unter Berucksichtigung der spaten Belege in den ptolemaischen Tempeln von Dendera, Edfu und Philae.Fur eine moglichst vollstandige und umfassende Auswertung wird sodann ein innovativer interdisziplinarer Rahmen entwickelt, der sich nicht nur auf die traditionellen Methoden der Textkritik und der Stemmatisierung stutzt, sondern auch analytische Betrachtungen zu Kontext, Bedeutung und Nutzung der "New Philology" heranzieht. Zudem werden die phylogenetischen Beziehungen zwischen den Quellen und den intellektuellen und kulturellen Mechanismen, die bei der Verbreitung der Manuskripte eine Rolle spielten, grundlegend und vollstandig analysiert.

Harry Falks "Kushan Histories" discusses new research concerning the Kushan dynasty and is based on a Symposium held from December 5-7th, 2013 in Berlin. The first part of the book introduces the literary sources. After naming the primary sources and translations a wide range of texts presented chronologically gives an overview of the Kushan history in its totality. In the second part of "Kushan Histories" five papers deal with different religious, military and cultural aspects of the Kushan dynasty: How were the expansion of Buddhism and the dynasty linked to each other and which role did Zoroastrianism play among the Kushans? How can new geographical perspectives prove the former existence of a military camp of the Kushans north of the Bactra oasis? Which historical data regarding Kanishkas conquest of India can be drawn from a Bactrian inscription and what did the female deity Nana mean to the Kushans? This volume is the 23rd in the series "Monographien zur indischen Archaologie, Kunst und Philologie".

Greek mythology is the body of myths and teachings that belong to the ancient greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. It was a part of the religion in ancient greece. The greeks were polytheistic in their religious beliefs. Polytheistic means they believed in and worshiped many different gods. Modern scholars refer to and study the myths in an attempt to shed light on the religious and political institutions of ancient greece and its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself. Just some of the topics covered in this book include Uranus: betrayal by cronus Cronus: fear of his children Titans vs. Olympian gods Olympian rule Zeus and his ladies Prometheus and herakles An unhappy tale of the underworld The beauty contest that led to the fall of troy Poseidon, metis, athena and atlantis Kraken and other monsters Jason, the argonauts, and medeas dragon Furthermore, osiris was associated with the kings of egypt because the egyptians believed he was a king himself. The ancient egyptians could trace their kings back, one by one, to a time when the gods were believed to have ruled the land in person. Osiris was the third or fourth successor to the egyptian throne after creation, and the egyptians believed that osiriss connection with kingship is what allowed their kings to be reborn in a way themselves. He was also said to be physically enormous almost 15 and a half feet according to some sources which was said to have aided him in his military campaigns.

This volume celebrates the contributions and impact of our mentor, colleague, and friend, James C. Wright, on the field of Aegean Bronze archaeology in recognition of his retirement from Bryn Mawr College. The title and thematic orientation reflect his scholarly attention to power inequalities in the past, particularly as manifested through social access to architectural spaces and landscapes. The title acknowledges that Jims interests and contributions extend beyond the domain of Aegean Prehistory, not only in terms of chronology and geography, but also in terms of his methodological approaches that have wider application. In addition to Jims colleagues and collaborators, more than half of the contributions to the volume are by his students who collectively are but one of many signs of his profound and lasting impact not only on our scholarship, but on the discipline of archaeology itself.
