The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC. -

Even though some groups do not call themselves "Roma," all Romani speaking groups use the name "Romanes" for their language and "Romani/Romano/Romane" for everything related to their group. All groups use the same language, and all languages can be subdivided into dialects. Three aspects make Romani dialects more diverse than other EU dialects: absence of centuries long influence from a standard language or prestige dialect; influence from a variety of local languages; and a great number of communities of Romani speakers (with speakers not all in contact with each other). -

And KEEPING up with the PERSIANS Some Reflections on Cultural Links in the Persian Empire
Working draft, not for distribution without permission of the author 1 ‘MANNERS MAKYTH MAN’ and KEEPING UP WITH THE PERSIANS Some reflections on cultural links in the Persian Empire Christopher Tuplin (University of Liverpool) Revised version: 9 June 2008 The purpose of the meeting (according to the web site) is to explore how ancient peoples expressed their identities by establishing, constructing, or inventing links with other societies that crossed traditional ethnic and geographic lines. These cross-cultural links complicates, undermine, or give nuance to conventional dichotomies such as self/other, Greek/barbarian, and Jew/gentile In the Achaemenid imperial context this offers a fairly wide remit. But it is a remit limited – or distorted – by the evidence. For in this, as in all aspects of Achaemenid history, we face a set of sources that spreads unevenly across the temporal, spatial and analytical space of the empire. For what might count as an unmediated means of access to a specifically Persian viewpoint we are pretty much confined to iconographically decorated monuments and associated royal inscriptions at Behistun, Persepolis and Susa (which are at least, on the face of it, intended to broach ideological topics) and the Persepolis Fortification and Treasury archives (which emphatically are not). This material is not formally or (to a large extent) chronologically commensurate with the voluminous, but unevenly distributed, Greek discourse that provides so much of the narrative of Achaemenid imperial history. Some of it may appear more commensurate with the substantial body of iconographically decorated monuments (most not associated with inscriptions) derived from western Anatolia that provides much of the material in the two papers under discussion. -
Early Iron Age Phoenician Networks: an Optical Mineralogy Study of Phoenician Bichrome and Related Wares in Cyprus*
doi: 10.2143/AWE.14.0.3108189 AWE 14 (2015) 73-110 EARLY IRON AGE PHOENICIAN NETWORKS: AN OPTICAL MINERALOGY STUDY OF PHOENICIAN BICHROME AND RELATED WARES IN CYPRUS* AYELET GILBOA and YUVAL GOREN Abstract Ancient Phoenicia was fragmented into several, oft-times competing polities. However, the possibility of defining archaeologically the exchange networks of each Phoenician city remains rather unexplored. This paper presents such an attempt, regarding the Early Iron Age (late 12th‒9th centuries BC). It is based on an Optical Mineralogy study of about 50 Phoenician ceramic containers in Cyprus, especially those of the ‘Phoenician Bichrome’ group. The latter are commonly employed as a major proxy for tracing the earliest Phoeni- cian mercantile ventures in the Iron Age. This is the first systematic provenance analysis of these wares and the first attempt to pinpoint the regions/polities in Phoenicia which partook in this export to Cyprus. The results are interpreted in a wider context of Cypro-Phoenician interrelationships during this period. INTRODUCTION The collapse of most Late Bronze Age (LBA) socio-political entities around the eastern and central Mediterranean (ca. 1250–1150 BC) is marked, inter alia, by the failure of major interregional commercial mechanisms. Previous views, however, that the LBA/Iron Age transition exemplifies a complete cessation of Mediterranean interaction, have continuously been modified and in recent years ever-growing numbers of scholars argue for a considerable measure of continuity in this respect.1 Indeed, cross-Mediterranean traffic and flow of goods did not come to a stand- still in the Early Iron Age. Exchange networks linking regions as far as the eastern Mediterranean and the Atlantic coast of Iberia are attested mainly by metal artefacts, the metals themselves, and by various ‘luxuries’, such as jewellery, faience objects * We thank wholeheartedly Dr Pavlos Flourentzos and Dr Maria Hadjicosti, former directors of the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus, for granting us permission to carry out this research. -

Shipwrecked Off Kyrenia
AppArch Newslet 1 : 23 March 2020 Dear <<Greeting Names>> I hope this find you well. Apparch promised you the occasional "Newslet" to keep your interest in archaeology alight - herewith our latest. Stay safe. Martin Joyce Shipwrecked off Kyrenia John and Pat Keith visited Kyrenia Castle in Northern Cyprus on a holiday recently and have passed us some interesting observations. The castle was built by the Venetians in the 16th-century on top of an older Crusader fortification. It includes a twelfth-century chapel with reused late Roman capitals and the Shipwreck Museum. This houses the remains one of the oldest trading ships known in the world, salvaged from the sea bed less than a mile from Kyrenia harbour. The ship is believed to have sunk in rough seas around the year 300BC at the time of Alexander the Great. In 1967, Michael Katzev of the University Museum of Pennsylvania directed a survey team looking for shipwrecks of the coast of Cyprus. A local Kyrenia sponge diver pointed to a promising area and using a metal detector, protonmagnetometer and probes, the group spent a month surveying the seabed, eventually finding the wreck and its cargo. During the following summers of 1968 and 1969, a team of 50 underwater archaeologists, students and technicians, employed stereo-photography and other techniques to record the position of each object before extracting them. The well preserved wooden hull of the ship was then "mapped" and lifted in pieces to the surface for careful examination and preservation. Both the ship and her cargo are now displayed in the museum, where they provide a wonderful insight into the life of merchants and trading in those far off times The main part of the cargo comprised over 400 wine amphorae. -

A variety of ethnic media, which people consume in everyday life, have their role . in the processes of (re)invention and (re)construction of British Greek Cypriot ethnic identities that depend, at the same time, on immediate and mediated experiences in and of the country of origin, the locality and the diaspora. These three spaces - the country of origin, the locality and the diaspora - come together in a meeting point of the virtual and the real, through electronic media. -
The Archaeological Activities of the Scott-Stevensons in Cyprus, 1878–1883 Anna Reeve
Reeve, A. 2020. The Archaeological Activities of the Scott-Stevensons Bofulletin the History of Archaeology in Cyprus, 1878–1883. Bulletin of the History of Archaeology, 30(1): 7, pp. 1–13. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/bha-629 RESEARCH PAPER: EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST The Archaeological Activities of the Scott-Stevensons in Cyprus, 1878–1883 Anna Reeve The early years of the British administration in Cyprus, which began in 1878, were characterised by an approach of casual acquisition towards the island’s ancient material culture. Civilian administrators and military personnel stationed in Cyprus, prompted by the island’s reputation as a rich source of antiquities, took the opportunity to explore ancient tombs and acquire objects to keep as personal souvenirs or to sell, despite official restrictions on excavation. The nascent Cyprus Museum, responsible for the island’s cultural heritage, lacked resources to restrict or closely monitor this activity. Many objects were removed from their context of excavation without proper recording, resulting in the formation of numerous disparate collections across the UK which lack provenance and documentation. This paper seeks to restore contextual information to some objects dispersed in this way through a re-examination of archives and published sources. While this cannot reconstruct a full archaeological provenance, it can add to the knowledge of individual objects and their collection history, and more broadly the ways in which private and public collections of ancient Cypriot objects were formed through social and intellectual networks. It focuses on the archaeological activities of two British residents, Andrew and Esmé Scott- Stevenson, in Cyprus between 1878 and 1883, demonstrating how such research can contribute both to the archaeological record, and to the social history of archaeology in Cyprus, in particular the recovery of seldom-heard women’s voices. -
