The Agora ca. 400 B.C. with Athenian Agora. findspotsof 5th-centurycommercial Any difficulties remaining in the interpretation of graffiti from the graffition amphoras Agora are not for lack of scholarly interest. Ever since LucyTalcott's publi- cation of "Attic Black-glazed Stamped Ware and Other Pottery from a Fifth Century Well" in 1935, graffiti on pottery at the Agora have re- ceived frequent attention.2 Mabel Lang stands out in this regard, having published two majorstudies, "Numerical Notation on Greek Vases"in 1956 and Graffiti and Dipinti in 1976, and a volume in the Agora PictureBook series.3 Lang's publications offered readings and interpretations of hundreds of markings, including many numerical marks that are likely to be related to buying and selling in the Agora. These marks often appearon transport amphoras, and Lang suggested that some such graffiti resulted from re- cording the measured capacity of the jars for their reuse.4Lang read other, far less frequent numerical marks as price labels; rarerstill for the 5th cen- tury are notations of weight. Virginia Grace and Malcolm Wallace both connected the appearanceof the many volumetric markings to uncertain- ties arising from a change in the standard Chian amphora capacity,from 7 to 8 Chian choes, to become commensurate with 7 Attic choes. Grace saw this change as being in accordancewith the Athenian Standards Decree.5 This mid- to late-5th-century decree dictated the use of Athenian stan- dard measures (including standards for coinage) among all members of the Delian League.6 These earlier studies thus associated the graffiti not only with specific actions related to the sale of the amphoras but also with a specific historical circumstance. This picture, however, was developed with minimal attention to the contexts of the graffiti:which amphora types carrywhich sorts of graffiti? What are the dates of the markedjars? Where are the graffiti found in the Agora? Inquiry along these lines reveals very clear patterns. First, not only Chian jars but many amphora types carry graffiti. Second, although such graffiti do appearsporadically throughout the 5th century B.C., most nume- rical markings on amphoras appearin the last third of the century. Finally, while examples have been found across the Agora, most amphora graffiti were excavated in the southeast corner (Figs. 1-2). These patterns are difficult to reconcile with either the postulated use of graffiti in checking the capacity of jars for personal reuse or the pro- posed implications of the Standards Decree. If graffiti were applied when confirming amphora capacities, then marked amphoras should be distrib- uted across the Agora, wherever amphoras were found in large numbers. This is not the case. Moreover, the connection to the Standards Decree 2. Talcott 1935, pp. 495-496, 515- 5. Grace and Savvatianou- Lewis 1987, Mattingly 1993 and 516.

Restored plan of the kapeleionarea around well R 13:4, with other late-5th- and early-4th-century wells GRAFFITI, WINE SELLING, AND REUSE OF AMPHORAS 7 and Chian amphoras raised the expectation of a limited period of uncer- tainty and, therefore, of intense markingjust after the initial promulgation of the decree (perhaps ca. 449 B.C., perhaps ca. 425 B.C.). Instead, roughly thirty-five years are indicated by the range of dates for the amphoras car- rying the marks.7Furthermore, a connection to the decree might prompt the expectation that the marks would appear primarily on those amphora types whose capacities changed in accordance with the decree. It is still a matter of debate as to which, if any, types were modified,8 but the fact that volumetric graffiti are not limited to specific types casts doubt on this ele- ment of the interpretation as well. Finally, while some commentators ar- gue that the decree was meant to facilitate collection of taxes, tribute, and other payments, whether in money or other products,9the graffiti indicate instead some sort of difficulty arising in later-5th-century sales in Athens. If such contexts of the graffiti requireus to question, or even abandon, earlier explanations, new interpretations are needed. The following

The Herrings and the First Great Combine PART II The Hanseatic League in England By Walter Mucklow The Site From the earliest times the German merchants had a depot behind Cannon street station, near the foot of the narrow Dow­ gate hill bordering the west side of the station. Apparently this neighborhood had for centuries been a centre of activities, for in few London streets have there been found more Roman remains than in Thames street, along a part of which ran the old Roman river wall, built on oak piles, overlaid by a stratum of chalk and stone and covered with hewn sandstone set in cement. In places this wall is twenty feet thick and some of the beams were 18 inches square. The Easterlings, as the early German merchants were called, first settled here and occupied the Hall of the Easterlings: later the merchants of Cologne held a part of Dowgate: and subse­ quently these two united, being then known as the “Merchants of Almaigne” and owned the “Dutch Guildhall.” The site was important, for in early times Dowgate was the only city gate opening to the river; therefore, it controlled foreign traffic and was of great value to the Germans in their efforts to govern this important business.

    Window Cleaning Jul/Aug 2016 magazine This issue… and much, much more… Issue 18 Window Cleaning Magazine Editorial Hey Readers, Do you know what one secret of success is? Its very simple - you have to love what you do. I remember in my early days as a trainee print sales man, I would have discussions with my Sales Manager about the 80 or so cold calls I had made in that day. He would tell me that I needed to smile on the phone! At first I thought he was crazy. What did it matter if I was not smiling on a phone call? The person on the other end cannot tell either way, right? Wrong! Within ten seconds of starting a sales call, a prospect would be able to tell if they are talking to beauty or the beast. I learned that smiling actually helped with the tone of my voice, and it is one way of positively affecting its inflection. Without smiling you can sound monotone and therefore come across as boring, or worse uninterested in the sales call you initiated. The reason is not psychological but rather physiological. When you smile, the soft palate at the back of your mouth raises and makes the sound waves more fluid. Smiling helps your voice sound friendly, warm, and receptive. I began to have a cavalier approach to sales calls. I never worried about not closing the deal, I started to have fun with the calls….. And do you know what? It got results. The more fun I had, the more deals I would close and I thought less of the calls that never went anywhere at all.

  • Late Medieval and Early Modern Bone and Antler Working in the Vilnius Castle Complex
    LATE MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN BONE AND ANTLER WORKING IN THE VILNIUS CASTLE COMPLEX El trabajo de hueso y cuerna en el periodo tardo medieval y moderno temprano en el complejo del castillo de Vilna HEIDI LUIK *, GIEDRĖ PILIČIAUSKIENĖ ** and POVILAS BLAŽEVIČIUS *** ABSTRACT Much bone and antler working debris was found from the territory of the Vilnius Castle complex. The bone working debris is rather standardised; most common are sawn off epiphyses of metapodials. Cattle bones prevail among the working waste, metatarsals being much more numerous than metacarpals. Antler working waste is not as standardised as the bone working waste. All parts of antlers are represented in the waste, including both elk antlers and red deer antlers. Shed antlers as well as antlers of hunted animals were used. Presumably the craftsmen working in the Vilnius castles were not specialised in bone or antler working, but used several materials and were rather specialised in the types of products they made. Key words: Medieval and Early Modern Period, Lithuania, Vilnius Castle Complex, Skeletal Materials, Bone and Antler Working. RESUMEN Se han encontrado numerosos restos de hueso trabajado y asta en el territorio del complejo del castillo de Vilna. Los desechos de trabajo hueso son bastante estan- darizados, los más comunes son las epífisis de metapodios. Los huesos de ganado prevalecen entre los desechos procedentes de la manufactura, siendo los metatarsos son mucho más numerosos que los metacarpianos.

A Rough Aging out: Graffiti Writers and Subcultural Drift Laura MacDiarmid1 Steven Downing2 University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada Abstract Many studies have provided rich ethnographic accounts of graffiti writing subculture, highlighting the roles of masculinity, resistance, and other dynamics that help shape these subcultures. In the current inquiry we examine the lives of a group of graffiti writers in a mid-sized city in southern Ontario, Canada. Our inquiry draws attention to the aging-out process of graffiti writers as they enter adulthood, seek employment and form relationships with non-graffiti writers, while at the same time striving to remain members of what it at its core a deviant subculture. Our analysis draws on life course, subcultural and drifts theories, illustrating the potential for combining these perspectives in future research on deviance in general. ________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: Graffiti, deviance, life course criminology, subcultural theory, drift. Introduction Numerous criminological inquiries have explored graffiti writing subcultures, including Ferrell’s (1996) landmark “Crimes of Style” and Snyder’s (2009) exploration of the relationship and transition between deviant graffiti subcultural and professional graffiti writing.

  • Water Clock and Steelyard in the Jyotiṣkaraṇḍaka
    International Journal of Jaina Studies (Online) Vol. 14, No. 2 (2018) 1-49 WATER CLOCK AND STEELYARD IN THE JYOTIṢKARAṆḌAKA Sreeramula Rajeswara Sarma for Professor Nalini Balbir in friendship and admiration 0 Introduction Mahāvīrācārya, the great Jain mathematician who flourished in Karnataka in the ninth century, at the beginning of his mathematical work Gaṇitasārasaṃgraha, pays homage to Jina Mahāvīra who illuminated the entire universe with saṃkhyā-jñāna, the science of numbers. 1 Indeed, saṃkhyā-jñāna plays an important role in Jainism which seeks to comprehend the entire universe in numerical terms. In this process, the Jains conceived of immensely large numbers, making a very fine and subtle classification of transfinite numbers and operating with laws of integral and fractional indices and some kind of proto-logarithms.2 Kāla-jñāna or kāla-vibhāga is an important part of the saṃkhyā-jñāna, for time too needs to be comprehended in numbers. Jains measured time from the microscopic samaya, which cannot be sub-divided any further,3 to the macroscopic śīrṣa-prahelikā, a number indicating years which is said to occupy 194 or even 250 places in decimal notation.4 But for vyāvahārika or practical purposes, especially for the calendar, the early Jain literature makes use of a five-year cycle or yuga. The basic problem in astronomical time- measurement is that the apparent movements of the two great luminaries who determine the passage of time, namely the Sun and the Moon, do not synchronize. The lunar year falls short of about eleven days in comparison to the solar year and does not keep step with the passage of seasons.
