End of the Kura-Araxes Phenomenon. The Chrono-Cultural Aspect of the EB/MB Transition in the South Caucasus
, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, xviii + 338 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:182 b/w, 28 col., 19 tables b/w., 14 maps b/w, 7 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503606736.
Summary This thematic volume focuses on the demise of the Kura-Araxes culture and the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age, a period between about 2600 and 2000 cal BC that saw the gradual disappearance of millennia-long traditions in the region. Specialists reassess the chrono-cultural attribution of several complexes in the region, together with the absolute chronology of the whole sequence. Through this approach, the volume offers a nuanced insight into the changes and continuities of a crucial period between the Early and Middle Bronze Age. The chapters gathered together here also explore the abandonment of long-established settlements, the production of lavishly endowed funerary complexes, testament to the emergence of growing inequalities in society, and the adoption of a far more mobile way of life as revealed by archaeology.

Between Near East and Eurasian Nomads. Representation of Local Elites in the Lori Berd Necropolis during the First Half of the First Millennium BC
, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, xxvi + 358 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:333 b/w, 77 col., 3 tables b/w., 8 tables col., 6 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503608037.
Summary The site of Lori Berd, located in northern Armenia, is home to an extraordinary necropolis that once housed the dead of the local elite during a period that spanned from 2200 to 400 BC. Influenced both by Urartian conquests from the south and by invasions from the Eurasian nomadic tribes from the north, the people of this region buried their dead with prestigious artefacts, complex customs, and a particular reverence shown during the later stages of the Early and Middle Iron Ages (1000-550 BC). This volume offers a detailed account of the archaeological significance of the site, providing detailed accounts of thirty-one tombs, the majority of which have never before been comprehensively published, and seeking to set Lori Berd in its broader historical and material context. Through this approach, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of the Iron Age in the South Caucasus, unravelling the interconnected themes of wealth, power, and cultural expressions.

Palmyra in Perspective
, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, xvi + 270 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:118 b/w, 95 col., 3 tables b/w., 1 maps color, Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503610320.
Summary The famous oasis city of Palmyra, located in the Syrian Desert, has long been the subject of scholarly research; and over the last decade, it has been the focus of three key projects based at Aarhus University in Denmark. Together, these projects have yielded results that have shed new light on Palmyra and have profoundly changed what we know about both the city itself, and its place in the wider Roman Empire, through a focus on sculptural production and the sustainability and economy that underpinned this, urban development, excavation history, and legacy data. This volume, based on a conference organized under the auspices of the Palmyra research projects in Aarhus, draws together papers that reflect on our understanding of Palmyra up to now, and pave the way for new lines of enquiry. Experts in the field engage with discussions of best practice, offer new perspectives on the city, its society, and its environs, and outline approaches that will allow research to continue to break new ground in our understanding of Palmyra.

Shaping Archaeological Archives. Dialogues between Fieldwork, Museum Collections, and Private Archives
, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, xxii + 424 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:149 b/w, 166 col., 4 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, 7 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503605647.
Summary Archaeology as a discipline has undergone significant changes over the past decades, in particular concerning best practices for how to handle the vast quantities of data that the discipline generates. Much of this data has often ended up in physical ? or, more recently, digital ? archives and been left untouched for years, despite containing critical information. But as many recent research projects explore how best to unleash the potential of these archives through publication, digitization, and improved accessibility, attention is now turning to the best practices that should underpin this trend. In this volume, scholars turn their attention to how best to work with and shape archaeological archives, and what this means for the field as a whole. The majority of case studies here explore archaeological sites in the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, some of which are conflict zones today. However, the contributions also showcase more broadly the depth of research on archaeological archives as a whole, and offer reflections upon the relationship between archaeological practices and archival forms. In so doing, the volume is able to offer a unique dialogue on best practices for the dissemination and synthetization of knowledge from archives more generally, whether physical or digital.

Small Stuff of the Palmyrenes. Coins and Tesserae from Palmyra
, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, xvi + 177 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:1204 b/w, 2 col., 7 tables b/w., 2 maps b/w, Language: English. * NEW ISBN 9782503597607.
Summary The ancient city of Palmyra is, rightly, famous for its major monumental architecture and its vast corpus of funerary portraiture, most of which dates from the first three centuries AD. This material has long been central to art-historical, archaeological, and epigraphical studies of the region. However, up to now, relatively little attention has been paid to the 'small stuff' from Palmyra ? seemingly minor items such as the enigmatic local coinage and the richly iconographic banqueting tesserae found scattered across the city's sanctuaries ? which has never been comprehensively studied, but may have had huge importance for the people who lived in Roman Palmyra. This volume, which arises from the research project Circular Economy and Urban Sustainability in Antiquity headed by Prof. Rubina Raja, aims to redress the balance by giving new focus to these small finds with a view to studying them and better understanding their significance in Palmyrene social and religious life. Drawing together experts on Palmyra's archaeology, history, and language, the volume offers insights and reflections into various aspects of the city's coins and tesserae in both their local setting and their wider regional context. In doing so, the contributions gathered here open up new lines of enquiry, and at the same time underline how much we still have to learn from studying even the smallest items.

Summary Archaeological periodization schemes of material culture development in Northern Mesopotamia from 7th to 5th centuries BCE traditionally refer to the sequence of dynasties. In particular, they highlight historical events related to distinguished members of the royal houses of the Sargonids, Urartians, Medes, Teispids, and Achaemenids. However, whereas the repercussions these Iron Age empires had on the history of the Near East are undeniable, the impact they had on the material culture and its development is not always equally tangible in the archaeological findings. The latter are not infrequently characterized by continuity rather than by incisive changes, as recent studies and re-evaluations of key sites in Syria, Iraq, Iran and Armenia show. This publication uses case studies to address problems that arises when the archaeological (relative concept) and historical (absolute concept) methodology use different intrinsic values of time to reconstruct history and to understand cultural material development. Archäologische Periodisierungsschemata der materiellen Kulturentwicklung Nordmesopotamiens in der Zeit vom 7. bis 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. orientieren sich traditionell an historische Zäsuren, die mit der Abfolge von Herrschaftsdynastien wie den Sargoniden, Urartäern, Medern, Teispiden und Achämeniden verbunden sind. Gleichwohl die Bedeutung dieser eisenzeitlichen Herrscherhäuser auf die politische Geschichte Vorderasiens unbestreitbar ist, ist ihr Einfluss auf die materielle Kulturentwicklung nicht im gleichen Maße bestimmbar. Letztere ist nämlich öfter durch Kontinuität als durch einschneidende Veränderungen geprägt, wie rezente Untersuchungen und Neubewertungen wichtiger archäologischer Befunde in Syrien, Irak, Iran und Armenien aufgezeigt haben. Der vorliegende Band weist anhand von Fallbeispielen auf die Problematik hin, die bei abweichenden Bedeutungszuweisungen der Dimension Zeit in archäologischen (relatives Konzept) und historischen (absolutes Konzept) Betrachtungsweisen für die Rekonstruktion der Geschichte und der Entwicklung der materiellen Kultur auftreten können.

fabrique des bébés dans l'Antiquité. Enquête sur les « biberons » gallo-romains

Summary Cet ouvrage s'intéresse à de curieux petits vases qui ont la particularité de présenter un bec sur leur panse et de se trouver principalement dans des tombes d'enfants. Les archéologues les ont baptisés ?biberons? ou, parfois, ?tire-laits?. Se concentrant sur la Gaule romaine, cet ouvrage fait le point sur la fonction encore débattue de ces vases, en s'appuyant sur des analyses biochimiques révélatrices de leur contenu. Montrent-elles que les vases ont contenu du lait comme leur nom le suggère ? Pas toujours, et pas seulement. L'étude approfondie des sources écrites anciennes (d'Hippocrate et Aristote à Pline, Soranos et Célius Aurélien), ainsi que de l'iconographie permet de mieux approcher le contexte d'emploi et la fonction de ces vases, en les inscrivant dans le cadre global de l'alimentation et des pratiques de soin. La physiologie de l'enfant, sujet à des besoins et des maladies particulières qui le distingue de l'homme et de la femme adultes, le rapproche, au contraire, de certaines catégories sociales, comme l'atteste l'usage de ces vases. Ainsi, en combinant témoins archéologiques, archives iconographiques et textuelles et analyses biochimiques cet ouvrage éclaire certaines représentations du corps et certaines stratégies alimentaires et sociales. A la croisée de l'histoire matérielle, de l'histoire culturelle et de l'histoire du corps, il propose, à partir de l'étude des rapports entre lait et enfant et l'usage des ?vases-biberons? en Gaule, une réflexion plus large sur la physiologie et la santé.
