From Sea Level Oscillations. This Idea Is Supported by the Fact That The from sealevel oscillations. This idea is supported by the fact that thescavenging assemblages pre-date 55,000 BP. while the huntingassemblages post-date it. 55.000 BP is often, thoughnot unanimously, associ­ ated with a climaticdeterioration and a drop of sea levels. Kuhn emphasizes, though. thatthe patterns observed amount to shifts in the relative abundance of elements that persist throughout the Pontinian. Despitethe somewhat overambitious title of the boo� Kuhn is verycautious when addressingthe wider implications of his findings for eitherthe Italian Mousterian or the currentmain issues of Middle Palaeolithic research.After all, this book is importantbecause of its innovative approach to complementary lines of archaeological and environmentalevidence. The lithic and faunal analyses thatfmm the basis of this workwere designed in paralleland are directly compatible. Kuhn worked in an area that is not traditionally at the heartof Palaeolithicresearch and used data with pronounced resolutionlimitations. But theoutcome provides a verygood and potentially influential example on how to explore early human behavioural vari­ abilityat the regional level. Snapshots olthePast, by BrianFagan. Alta Mira Press (Sage Publications).Walnut Creek, CA, 1995. 163 pp., 1 map, 4 plates, guide to furtherreading. $14.95 (paper). by Todd W. Bostwick Pueblo GrandeMuseum Phoenix, ArizonaU.S.A. Brian Faganis well known for his archaeology books written for a general pubic as well as his textbooks. This book is a collection of his articlesoriginally published as bimonthly ''Ttmelines''columns inArc haeol­ ogy Magazine. Ashe states in the preface of the book, his articleswere meant to entertain, infonnand sometimes waxindignant on a wide varietyof archaeological subjects.His intent was tomake available to a wide audience short stories that"navigated through themaze of detailed andspecialized literature, creating snapshotsof archaeology, archaeologists, andour complex, multifaceted past."The collection of 27 articles he chose for the book were published between 1988 and 1995; in addition,Fagan wrote two new articles for thebook (one on prehistoric art and the other on thelives of Egyptian townspeople), for a tota129 articles. Thebook includes a preface andan introduction, withthe 29 articles divided into four sections: Early Lifeways; Commoner, Camels and GreatLords; Issues in ContemporaryArchaeology; andArchaeology and Society. Each of the four sections are precededwith a general introductionwritten for the book. The articles in the frrst sectiondiscuss early hunter-gatherers, hominids,and fanners. The second section consists of articles concerned with aspectsof early civilization andrecent historic societies.The third collection of articles explores major controversiesin archaeology such as Eve, thefirstAmericans, gender, cannibalism, dog-drawnsleds used by Plains Indians, and the problem of archaeological investigations thatare not published. Articles in the fourthpart discuss ways in which archaeologyintersects with modem people's lives including looting at Slack Fann in Kentucky, unexpectedarchaeological discoveries, stewardship of archaeological sites, workingwith museum collections, andarchaeology of the 1920s movie setfor The Te n Commandments in southernCalifornia. Thearticles in Fagan's book are well written and. for the most part, arestimulating and interesting.All of the articles are very short (3 to 5 pages), making this book easy to read in short stretches of time, much like a Reader's Digest of archaeology. Since the general public is oftenfascinated by the work archaeologist do, and the problems that archaeologist face in the course of their work, this book should be popular to a general 9 audience.The book also should be of interest to those archaeologistswho wish to read short articles about subjects or areasthat theyru.:e·inte�sted in, but do not wish to invest time in a lengthytechnical article.

Likemany of theendeavors by The Oxford University Pressin the history of archaeology, The Oxford Encyclopedia of Archaeologyin theNear East is one of the most important compendium's of information comprising the history of Near EasternArchaeology in recent time. Eric M. Meyers (Professor of Religion andArchaeology, Duke University). the Editor in Chief of thevolume series,has done a masterfuljob of bringing together of wide variety of site information and biographical synposes of NearEastern archaeolo­ gists into a series of five volumes which arenot only ''user friendly" but "worth their weightin gold" for scholarsand interested readersof thehistory of NearEastern Archaeology. The wealth of information at the fmgertipsof the prospective researcheror interested reader is enormous. Althoughvast in its scope, the user of thevolumes willfind it easily accessible andof true value as a research tool. Meyershas brought to� gether the expertise of a vast number of contributors which werecarefully nudged together to produce a volume seriesof superlativequality and unestimateable value to those interested in the history of Near Easternarchaeology: Meyers wisely selectedWilliam G.

  • The Ruins of Preservation: Conserving Ancient Egypt 1880-1914
    NOT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The Ruins of Preservation: Conserving Ancient Egypt 1880-1914 David Gange 5 The rhetoric of preservation began to suffuse the archaeology of Egypt in the late nineteenth century. Amelia Edwards’ best-selling travel narrative, A Thousand Miles up the Nile, is sometimes considered to have instigated ‘modern’ attitudes to the preservation of Egyptian monuments.1 In some ways this judgement is appropriate: unlike her pronouncements on race 10 (shocking even by contemporary standards), Edwards’ attitudes to conser- vation can be reduced to statements that still sound modern enough: The wall paintings which we had the happiness of admiring in all their beauty and freshness are already much injured. Such is the fate of every Egyptian monument. The tourist carves it over with 15 names and dates. The student of Egyptology, by taking wet paper ‘squeezes’ sponges away every vestige of the original colour. The ‘Collector’ buys and carries off everything of value that he can, and the Arab steals it for him. The work of destruction, meanwhile goes on apace. The Museums of Berlin, of Turin, of Florence are 20 rich in spoils which tell their lamentable tale. When science leads the way, is it wonderful that ignorance should follow?2 Between 1876 and her death in 1892, Edwards did more than anyone else in Britain to popularize Egypt’s ancient history and established several of the institutional structures that still dominate British Egyptology today. The 25 continuity of these institutions, in particular the Egypt Exploration Fund/ Society (the name was changed in 1919) and the Edwards Chair of Egyptology at University College London, encourages a sense of connection from the 1 For this view see any publication or website on the early history of British Egyptology, from T.

  • Historiographical Approaches to Past Archaeological Research
    Historiographical Approaches to Past Archaeological Research Gisela Eberhardt Fabian Link (eds.) BERLIN STUDIES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD has become increasingly diverse in recent years due to developments in the historiography of the sciences and the human- ities. A move away from hagiography and presentations of scientifi c processes as an inevitable progression has been requested in this context. Historians of archae- olo gy have begun to utilize approved and new histo- rio graphical concepts to trace how archaeological knowledge has been acquired as well as to refl ect on the historical conditions and contexts in which knowledge has been generated. This volume seeks to contribute to this trend. By linking theories and models with case studies from the nineteenth and twentieth century, the authors illuminate implications of communication on archaeological knowledge and scrutinize routines of early archaeological practices. The usefulness of di erent approaches such as narratological concepts or the concepts of habitus is thus considered. berlin studies of 32 the ancient world berlin studies of the ancient world · 32 edited by topoi excellence cluster Historiographical Approaches to Past Archaeological Research edited by Gisela Eberhardt Fabian Link Bibliographic information published by the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek lists this publication in the Deutsche Nationalbibliographie; detailed bibliographic data are available in the Internet at http://dnb.d-nb.de. © 2015 Edition Topoi / Exzellenzcluster Topoi der Freien Universität Berlin und der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Typographic concept and cover design: Stephan Fiedler Printed and distributed by PRO BUSINESS digital printing Deutschland GmbH, Berlin ISBN 978-3-9816384-1-7 URN urn:nbn:de:kobv:11-100233492 First published 2015 The text of this publication is licensed under Creative Commons BY-NC 3.0 DE.

Hasel Southern Adventist University History, Egyptology and the Bible 2 Abstract This is a case study that follows the principles developed in the first conference paper presented in the Biblical Foundations for Faith and Learning Conference (Cancun, 2011) and specifically applies these principles to a problem in the narrow field of History, Egyptology, and the Bible. Due to political and ideological reasons the field of Egyptology has been largely isolated from biblical studies and the history of Canaan and Israel. In recent years, minimalist biblical scholars have challenged the long-held consensus that the peoples, places, and polities of Canaan and Israel existed in the second millennium.

  • Rethinking Antiquarianism
    Rethinking Antiquarianism Tim Murray La Trobe University ([email protected]) This paper provides the opportunity to discuss the rationale for a new collaborative research project directed at creating a global history of antiquarianism. Conventional histories of archaeology, particularly those by Daniel (e.g. 1976) and to a certain extent Trigger (1987, 2006), stress that antiquarians were in essence amateurs and dilettantes, perfect figures of their age, exemplified by the brilliantly scatty John Aubrey, or by Walter Scott’s grotesque pastiche Jonathan Oldbuck. However, following ground-breaking work by Arnoldo Momigliano (see e.g. 1966, 1990), and later by Alain Schnapp (e.g. 1996) for some time it had become clear that this was an inaccurate rendering – one designed to stress the scientific credentials of the disciplines that grew out and away from antiquarianism: the modern cultural sciences of history, sociology, anthropology, art history, archaeology, and history of religion. For Schnapp, especially in his Discovery of the Past, the division between amateur and professional (a distinction also explored with profit by Phillipa Levine (1986)) was not the cause of the triumph of archaeology (or any one of the other disciplines) over antiquarianism, and it is ill informed to interpret antiquarianism as a wrong-turning on the pathway to archaeological enlightenment. In this view antiquarianism was, and perhaps still is a full-fledged and (more important) continuing body of thought and practice. This notion of continuity, including the probability that it has the potential to morph into a kind of neo-antiquarianism, is worthy of much further discussion, but at this point I just want to indicate that disciplinary history (with the exception of Schnapp (1993) and Rosemary Sweet (2004)) generally has not been kind to antiquarians or antiquarianism.

    Modern Archaeoastronomy: From Material Culture to Cosmology IOP Publishing Journal of Physics: Conference Series 685 (2016) 012001 doi:10.1088/1742-6596/685/1/012001 An introductory view on archaeoastronomy Daniel Brown Nottingham Trent University, School of Science and Technology, Clifton Lane, Nottingham, NG11 6NS, UK E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Archaeoastronomy is still a marginalised topic in academia and is described by the Sophia Centre, the only UK institution offering a broader MA containing this field, as ‘the study of the incorporation of celestial orientation, alignments or symbolism in human monuments and architecture’. By many it is associated with investigating prehistoric monuments such as Stonehenge and combining astronomy and archaeology. The following will show that archaeoastronomy is far more than just an interdisciplinary field linking archaeology and astronomy. It merges aspects of anthropology, ethno-astronomy and even educational research, and is possibly better described as cultural astronomy. In the past decades it has stepped away from its quite speculative beginnings that have led to its complete rejection by the archaeology community. Overcoming these challenges it embraced full heartedly solid scientific and statistical methodology and achieved more credibility. However, in recent times the humanistic influences of a cultural context motivate a new generation of archaeoastronomers that are modernising this subject; and humanists might find it better described as post-modern archaeoastronomy embracing the pluralism of today’s academic approach to landscape and ancient people. 1. Introduction In the first instance Archaeoastronomy is a word created by combining archaeology and astronomy. As such this subject area might initially be described as involving the comprehension of stars, Sun and the Moon as they move through the sky from the perspective of an astronomer using the material remains of people whose culture can be described as ancient and that does not exist anymore.
