The third international conference on "Archaeology and Conservation along the Silk Road" was met with as much enthusiasm as the earlier ones, with participants joining from near and far. The historic city of Tabriz, which once was the melting pot for cultures across the Silk Road(s), now as venue of this conference from 1416 November 2018, facilitated dialogues to re-live, re-exchange and re-search the impact that Silk Road has had from then to now. Albeit a century-old topic of academic discourse, the Silk Road(s) continues to open up variety of new disciplinary and regional fronts; included in this volume. The Research Institute for Cultural Heritage and Tourism, Iran, collaborated with the Nanjing University, China, and the Institute of Conservation, University of Applied Arts Vienna, Austria, for this congress, which saw plenty of scientific studies on material heritage and their resultant significance in shaping the lifestyle and trade in different regions along the Silk Road(s).

Attempts to understand how Roman Britain ends and Anglo-Saxon England begins have been undermined by the division of studies into pre-Roman, Roman and early medieval periods. This groundbreaking new study traces the history of British tribes and British tribal rivalries from the pre-Roman period, through the Roman period and into the post-Roman period. It shows how tribal conflict was central to the arrival of Roman power in Britain and how tribal identities persisted through the Roman period and were a factor in three great convulsions that struck Britain during the Roman centuries. It explores how tribal conflicts may have played a major role in the end of Roman Britain, creating a failed state scenario akin in some ways to those seen recently in Bosnia and Iraq, and brought about the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons. Finally, it considers how British tribal territories and British tribal conflicts can be understood as the direct predecessors of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and Anglo-Saxon conflicts that form the basis of early English History.

During the Neolithic and Bronze Age - a period covering some 4,000 years from the beginnings of farming by stone-using communities to the end of the era in which bronze was an important material for weapons and tools - the face of Britain changed profoundly, from a forest wilderness to a large patchwork of open ground and managed woodland. The axe was replaced as a key symbol, first by the dagger and finally by the sword. The houses of the living came to supplant the tombs of the dead as the most permanent features in the landscape.In this fascinating book, eminent archeologist Michael Parker Pearson looks at the ways in which we can interpret the challenging and tantalising evidence from this prehistoric era. He also examines the various arguments and current theories of archeologist about these times. Drawing on recent discoveries and research, and illustrated with numerous maps, plans, reconstructions and photographs, this book shows what life was like and how it changed during the Neolithic and Bronze Age.

On a monetary basis, Magdala must be considered as one of the most important and active settlements between the 1st century BC and most of the 3rd century AD on Lake Kinneret, a place of production and trade, of supply for military forces, certainly in contact with other trading centres, probably located on the Mediterranean coast, however in a market perspective quite different from our current experience and even from the semantic content of this word, often abused with a semantic extension that does not correspond to the experience of the ancients. Its monetary decline started on the early 4th century, when the economic and monetary strategies of the Constantinian era shifted the flow of money to other routes, especially between the great port cities of the Mediterranean.The welcome contribution of Calleghers study derives from the new data published, which allows us to overcome "cliches" and a stereotypical view of both the archaeological site and the economy of the Upper Galilee.

Whether it is Hadrians Wall, Kendal Castle or the beautiful fells of the Lake District for thousands of years people have found a certain elegance and utility in stone. Nestled amongst these common relics are a multitude of massive stone monuments, built over 3,000 years before British shores were ever touched by Roman sandals. Cumbrias megalithic monuments are among Europes greatest and best-preserved ancient relics but are often poorly understood and rarely visited. Cumbrias Prehistoric Monuments aims to dispel the idea that these stones are merely mysterious. Instead, within this book you will find credible answers, using up-to-date research, excavation notes, maps and diagrams to explore one of Britains richest archaeological landscapes. Featuring stunning original photography and newly illustrated diagrams of every megalithic site in the county, Adam Morgan Ibbotson invites you to take a journey into a land sculpted by ancient hands.

This concise and fully illustrated introduction to methods of excavation describes a technique that is essential for all kinds of archaeology. It presents new ideas on excavation techniques and challenges traditional approaches to site organisation and recording. John Collis uses his 40 years of excavation experience to recommend practical solutions to problems, and considers the impact of computerisation and other technical innovations. He also describes the history and development of archaeological excavation which provides a background to the methods employed today. This practical common sense guide should find a place on the bookshelf of everyone who practices archaeology on a professional or amateur basis, and is illuminating reading for anyone who wants to understand how archaeologists can recover the past by digging in the soil.

The book that all archaeology buffs have secretly been yearning for! This unique blend of text, anecdote and cartoon reveals, and revels in, those aspects of the past that have been ignored, glossed over or even suppressed the bawdy, the scatological and the downright bizarre. Our ancestors were not always serious, downtrodden and fearful creatures. They were human like ourselves and shared our earthy sense of humour that is based on bodily functions, bawdiness and slapstick. So its time to take the fig leaf off the past and have a long, hard look at the real past the world that would have had the Victorians reaching for their smelling salts. So if you want to know what your average Egyptian slave thought of pharaoh, or a Roman legionary thought of his commander, you will find the answer in Disgraceful Archaeology in hilarious graphic detail!

Einzigartige Einblicke in die Lebenswelt einer lange vergangenen Zeit Der zweite Band des Grabungsberichts prasentiert Funde aus den Strata 25-17 von Tall Zira, die die Besiedlung des Tells zwischen der fruhen Bronzezeit II/III und der mittleren Bronzezeit IIB dokumentieren. Ein Erdrutsch hatte in der Zeit von Stratum 16 (vor 1500 v.Chr.) den westlichen Bereich der Siedlung zerstort; ein etwa 120 m2 groes Gebiet im Zentrum von Areal I war davon jedoch nicht betroffen, so dass bedeutende architektonische Zeugnisse aus jener Zeit ausgegraben werden konnten. Funde aus der fruhen und mittleren Bronzezeit

Pocas veces he visto a una persona tan vocacional en su oficio de escultora, como a María Antonia Román Prado, mi esposa. Una profesional tan entregada a su tarea de trabajar y pulir la piedra hasta extraer de ella la forma que llevaba dentro, segun el concepto, el pensamiento y la reflexion interior de la autora, desde el mismo momento en que tenia el material petreo ante sus ojos.No necesito boceto previo para empezar a trabajar, decia Maria Antonia con frecuencia, lo llevo dentro o lo veo nada mas tener el marmol ante mi. Efectivamente, ella se dejaba guiar por una u otra veta de la piedra, mas clara o mas oscura y segun su consistencia, y, como diria Michelangelo Buonarroti, extraia de ella la escultura sepultada o secreta. Ella sabia lo que habia dentro. (...)Le escuche en mas de una ocasion que ella era la representante o continuadora del arte taino de Puerto Rico, su pais natal, si bien lo hacia de manera libre, abierta y siguiendo la estetica del tiempo que le habia tocado vivir. Sentia una gran admiracion y devocion por el arte taino al que dedico su tesis doctoral, que finalmente no pudo leer ante tribunal publico universitario, porque le sorprendio la muerte.Maria Antonia Roman Prado era una artista visual perfeccionista, exigente consigo misma y dotaba de una espiritualidad a su obra que se observa en el recorrido pausado de la misma. Su escultura no es abrupta en su ejecucion, se revela suave y sin aristas, por lo que invita a un tacto silencioso.Una de sus mayores satisfacciones estuvo cuando pudo mostrar buena parte de sus esculturas juntas en el Centro Washington Irving de Madrid, dependiente de la Embajada de los Estados Unidos de America en 1992.El arte puertorriqueño y la cultura taina es un libro fruto del estudio e indagacion para la tesis doctoral, que Maria Antonia no pudo llegar a leer, porque su fallecimiento en 2017 lo impidio. Celebremos hoy sus reflexiones sobre el arte puertorriqueño y la cultura taina, que ella tanto amo.

The artists of Ancient Rome portrayed the barbarian enemies of the empire in sculpture, reliefs, metalwork and jewellery.Enemies of Rome shows how the study of these images can reveal a great deal about the barbarians, as well as Roman art and the Romans view of themselves.
