Signature ABSTRACT Title: Morphological Study of Sling Projectiles with Analysis of Clay Balls from the Late Neolithic Site Tell Arbid Abyad (Syria) Author: Bc. Barbora Kubíková Institute/Department: Masaryk University, Faculty of Arts, Institute of Archaeology and Museology, Centre of Prehistoric Archaeology of the Near East (PANE) Supervisor of the master thesis: Dr. phil. Maximilian Wilding Abstract: The thesis aims to put the draft into the practice for further substantial research into the sling missiles in the Near East which has been made in the prior bachelor thesis. The presented work will try to establish a first morphological means for the identification of sling projectiles in the archaeological record in the Near East. The main goal is to concentrate on the metric data and the functional design of projectiles in order to establish parameters which are characteristic only for sling projectiles. The necessary size, weight and form parameters, however, cannot at present be deduced from archaeological artefacts proper, because the identification of "rounded handy-sized objects of clay or stone RHO" (Kubíková 2013, 17) as sling projectiles is disputed and very different functions for the plain and ball-like items are proposed (cooking stones, tokens etc.). The central idea is to get to valid parameters after studying sling projectiles in a secure context, where their identification is unambiguous, namely in their use by recent-ethnographic societies. Studying the attributes of slingstones from the ethnographic contexts from Oceania and Americas, it is hoped that realistic size and shape ranges can be defined which could serve as a supporting tool when designating and interpreting small finds of stone or clay in the Neolithic Near East. The range margins, it is thought, in the first step, will permit to subtract from the archaeological record all RHO items that fall out of the size, weight and form range of ethnographically attested sling missiles. As a testing case, the ethnographically derived parameters will be applied to various kinds of plain clay balls that were found at the Late Neolithic site Tell Arbid Abyad (MU-ARBA Project, NE-Syria, 2007–2010). Beyond that much of the available archaeological information and photographs of slingstones, sling balls and sling projectiles are brought together to spur an archaeological comparison and which could help archaeologists with a correct identification of small artefacts. Keywords: sling projectiles, slingstones, clay balls, morphology of sling ammunition, ethnographic use of sling, identification of artefacts, metric data, slingstones of the Pacific Islands, sling-use in America, Late Neolithic period, Tell Arbid Abyad site ANOTACE Název práce: Autor: Bc. Barbora Kubíková Katedra/Ústav: Masarykova univerzita, Filozofická fakulta, Ústav archeologie a muzeologie, Pravěká archeologie Předního Východu Vedoucí bakalářské práce: Dr. phil. Maximilian Wilding Abstrakt: Cílem této práce je uvést v praxi návrh na další výzkum v oblasti prakových kuliček na Předním východě, který byl vytvořen v předchozí bakalářské práci. Současná práce se pokusí představit morfologickou metodologii k rozpoznání prakových kuliček v archeologickém materiálu na Předním východě. Hlavním cílem je soustředit se na metrická data a funkční design projektilů, aby bylo možné určit parametry, které jsou charakteristické pouze pro prakové projektily. Důležité parametry jako je velikost, váha a forma nemohou být v současnosti určeny ze samotných archeologických nálezů, protože identifikace kulatých předmětů malé velikosti z hlíny nebo kamene "RHO" (Kubíková 2013, 17) jako prakových projektilů je sporná a těmto prostým a kulovitým předmětům jsou přidělovány různé funkce (varné kameny, tokeny, atd.). Klíčovou myšlenkou je získání platných parametrů na základě studia prakových projektilů v pevném kontextu, kde je jejich rozpoznání jednoznačné, zvláště v jejich používání současnými etnickými skupinami. Autorka doufá, že díky studiu atributů prakových kamenů z etnografického kontextu z Oceánie a Amerik se podaří definovat realistický rozsah velikostí a tvarů, což by mohlo sloužit jako podpůrný prostředek při určování a interpretování malých kamenných nebo hliněných nálezů v neolitu na Předním východě. Hranice rozmezí, dle předpokladu, v prvé řadě dovolí vypustit z archeologického materiálu všechny RHO předměty, které nespadají do rozměrového, váhového a formového rozsahu etnograficky doložených prakových projektilů. Pro otestování této teorie poslouží lokalita Tell Arbid Abyad (MU-ARBA Project, SV Sýrie, 2007–2010), kde budou aplikovány etnograficky odvozené parametry na různé druhy prostých hliněných kuliček. Kromě toho, bude mnoho z dostupných archeologických informací a fotografií prakových kamenů, prakových kuliček a prakových projektilů sloučeno proto, aby započalo archeologické porovnávání, které by mohlo archeologům pomoci se správnou identifikací malých artefaktů. Klíčová slova: prakové projektily, prakové kameny, hliněné kuličky, morfologie prakové munice, etnografické využití praku, identifikace a označení archeologických artefaktů, metrická data, prakové kameny na Tichomořských ostrovech, využití praku v Americe, pozdní neolit, lokalita Tell Arbid Abyad ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis consumed a huge amount of own work, research and dedication. Still, it would not have been possible if I did not have a support of many individuals to whom I owe my sincere gratitude. First of all I am deeply thankful to my supervisor Dr. Phil. Maximilian Wilding for his guidance throughout the work and my studies, for many consultations and the feedback given, his time and thoroughness. My sincere appreciation goes accordingly to the head of Centre of PANE Mgr. Inna Mateiciucová, Ph.D for her mentoring during the whole course of my studies. I am also very grateful to namely Dr. Hans-Georg K. Gebel (FU, ex oriente e. V., Berlin) and Dr. Arnulf Hausleiter (PD of FU, DAI Orient – Abteilung, Berlin) for being short-time consultants during the Erasmus period at FU, to Dr. Dörte Rokitta-Krumnow (DAI, Berlin) and Dr. phil. Laura Dietrich (DAI, Berlin) for the information provided to me about sling balls from the Shir excavation, to Dr. Bernd Müller-Neuhof (DAI, Berlin) for the discussion concerning his PhD work on the conflict and weaponry topic in the Neolithic of the Near East and Dr. Olivier Nieuwenhuijse for granting me an access to the databases of Tell Sabi Abyad for a closer look at the clay specimen referred to as sling missiles. I am much obliged to Darlene R. Moore, archaeologist of the Micronesian Archaeological Research Services, Inc. in Guam, who provided me the information on the sling stones from the Mariana Islands, to Merel Brüning (Leiden University) who helped with the databases of Tell Sabi Abyad, to Dr. Gregory G. White (California State University, Chico) for the report and the data on sling specimen from Californian sites, to Dr. John L. Craib (Queensland, Australia) for sending slingstones metric data from two sites on Rota Island in the Pacific Ocean and to Dr. Matthew Schmader (Parks and Recreation Department of Albuquerque, New Mexico) for yet unpublished photos and metric data of slingstones from Piedras Marcadas pueblo, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I wish to thank Erik Skov, M.A. (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) for the insights in the experimentation with the sling and projectile types and for the feedback to my bachelor thesis, to Dr. Deyan Rabovyanov (the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) who provided me his article and translated a table of metric data of sling clay projectiles from Slavonia, to Dr. Rosalind

  • PREHISTORIC ADMINISTRATIVE TECHNOLOGIES and the ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN REDISTRIBUTION ECONOMY the Case of Greater Susiana
    Gian Pietro Basello - L'Orientale University of Naples - 25/01/2018 CHAPTER EIGHTEEN PREHISTORIC ADMINISTRATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND THE ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN REDISTRIBUTION ECONOMY The case of greater Susiana Denise Schmandt- Besserat INTRODUCTION Ancient Near Eastern art of the 4th and 3rd millennium BC gloriies the temple redistribution economy. Mesopotamians are depicted proudly delivering vessels illed with goods at the temple gate (Leick 2002: 52–53; Nissen and Heine 2003: 30–31, Figure 20) (Figure 18.1 A), and Elamites celebrate their huge communal granaries (Amiet 1972b: Pl. 16:660, 662–663; Legrain 1921: Pl. 14: 222) (Figs. 18.1 B-E). What the monuments do not show is the judicious administration which managed the temple’s and community’s wealth. Nor do they tell when, how and why the redis- tribution system was created. In this chapter we analyze what the prehistoric administrative technologies such as tokens and seals may disclose on the origin and evolution of the exemplary redistri- bution economy (Schmandt- Besserat 1992a: 172–183; Pollock 1999: 79–80, 92–96) which developed in antiquity in the land that was to become Elam (Vallat 1980: 2; 1993: CIV). 8TH MILLENNIUM BC – INITIAL VILLAGE PERIOD1 – THE FIRST TOKENS The earliest human presence in the Susiana and Deh Luran plains – Greater Susiana (Moghaddam 2012a: 516) – was identiied in level A of the site of Chogha Bonut, ca. 7200 BC. The evidence suggests the seasonal encampment of a small band who lived from farming as well as hunting (Alizadeh 2003:40). Among the scanty remains they left behind were ire pits dug into living loors and a scattering of artifacts, including lint and obsidian tools, rocks smeared with ochre, clay igurines and tokens (Aliza- deh 2003: 35).

  • Protocol Guide of Guam (PDF Format)
    (Exhibit A) THE ISLAND OF GUAM PROTOCOL GUIDE DEVELOPMENT The Protocol Guide of the Territory of Guam was first released in 1981. The Committee on Rules of the 16th Guam Legislature passed Resolution No. 58 which established a Sub-committee to draft a State Protocol Guide for Guam. The State Protocol Guide serves as a reference for official etiquette and protocol. Ensuring respect and good manners are practiced to prevent detracting from the main purpose of the visit or event. A second publication of the Protocol Guide of Guam was released by the 22nd Guam Legislature. In 1993, a Subcommittee on Protocol Guide was formed and after careful deliberations, updates were made to the existing guide. The Subcommittee was comprised of the following: Senator Madeleine Z. Bordallo, Chairperson Senator Elizabeth P. Arriola, Member Senator Antonio R. Unpingco, Member Ms. Portia Guerrero, Governor’s Office Ms. Merci J.

  • Bibi Zoleikhaee: New Evidence for Pre-Pottery Neolithic Period from Kohgiluyeh Region
    Vol. 2, No. 4, Summer- Autumn 2016 International Journal of the Society of Iranian Archaeologists Bibi Zoleikhaee: New Evidence for Pre-Pottery Neolithic Period from Kohgiluyeh Region Ahmad Azadi Islamic Azad University Hamed Vahdati Nasab Tarbiat Modares University Abbas Motarjem University of BuAli Received: May, 23, 2016 Accepted: August, 30, 2016 Abstract: Compared to other regions in the Near East, our knowledge about the Neolithic period in Iran is rather limited; in the Central Zagros area, however, we have a more reliable set of information about this period. Except some areas in Fars and Bakhtyari, less information is available for southern Zagros, including Kohgiluyeh region. Kohgiluyeh region in southern Zagros is located between two major cultural zones of Khuzestan and Fars in southwestern Iran. This intermediate region is archaeologically less known compared to its neighbors. In the present paper, an Early Neolithic site is introduced. On the basis of surface collection, with majority of bladelets and cores, the site has been dated to the early Neolithic or Aceramic Neolithic. Considering the modern climate of the region and environmental context of the site we may postulate that the residents of the site practiced a simple form of early-agricultural economy. Due to the mountainous landscape of the region, their substance pattern had been based on using the nearby resources through hunting, food gathering and using water sources. Keywords: Bibi Zoleikhaee, Kohgiluyeh, Pre-Pottery, Neolithic, Archaeological survey. Introduction Although our knowledge about Neolithic period in Iran Here, the emphasis will be on the surface lithic is rather limited compared to other regions in the Near assemblage as the major criteria for the recognition of East, in the Central Zagros we have a more reliable set of Neolithic cultural and economic attributes.
