Alongwith other figurines from that tomb and fromArchaic Ephesos, this familygroup testifies to the late-Tth-century b.c. birthof a westernAnatolian stylein theminor arts that anticipates the Ionian stylein Greeksculpture. The authorsuggests that the figurines served as handlesof sacred implements and thatthey represent elite participants in thecult of an Anatoliangoddess, perhapsArtemis Ephesia. Amongthe remarkable archaeological discoveries of thepast century is an ivoryfigurine of a motherwith two children recovered from a tumulus adjacentto the village of Bayindir, near Elmali in Antalya province, south- westernTurkey (Figs. 1-4, below).1 Since its discovery in 1987,the group hasstimulated scholarly debate over its date, style, and the workshop that producedit, as well as theidentity of the figures itrepresents. The proposed datesfor the figurine range from the late 8th to theearly 6th century b.c. Somescholars consider the group to be theproduct of a Neo-Hittitework- shop,while others suggest an Ionian, Lydian, Phrygian, orLycian workshop; someidentify the figures as theAnatolian Kybele with her children, while othersidentify them as Letowith Apollo and Artemis.2 In thisarticle, I reevaluate the existing scholarship on thefigurine in lightof other figurines discovered in thesame tomb, as well as relatedmate- rialfrom Ephesos. I suggestthat the Antalya figurines were carved in an 1. AntalyaMuseum 2.21.87.

  • Funnel Beaker Pottery in North-Eastern Hungary? in My
    Funnel Beaker pottery in North-Eastern Hungary? In my presentation, I would like to discuss an old find from a new perspective. In this sense, it is less of a presentation and more of a brief preliminary report of a research project in its initial phase. In the last two years, I undertook the critical re-assessment of the earlier excavated Late Copper Age Baden material from north-eastern Hungary. During this research, I noticed a curious, non-local, probably intrusive pottery sherd in the material from the Salgótarján– Pécs-kő site, whose cultural affiliation eluded me. I was only certain that it could not belong either to the Baden, or to the Kostolác culture. It was suggested that it could perhaps be assigned to Coţofeni or Bošáca, the well-known post-Baden groups bordering on the Baden distribution in Hungary, but in order to determine this, I had to consult other specialists, who would be able to confirm or refute my impression. Finally, with some trial and error, involving requests to colleagues in Transylvania regarding Coţofeni, and to colleagues in Slovakia regarding Bošáca, my Polish colleague, Prof. Marzena Szmyt finally suggested an acceptable cultural attribution, according to which the sherd should be assigned to the Funnel Beaker culture – however, the distribution of this culture did not extend to the territory of Hungary, and to the best of my knowledge, Hungarian archaeologists have not yet reported any Funnel Beaker finds from the Hungarian collections. First, let me describe the find in detail. Inventory number 60.1.496. Rim and body fragment of a decorated, thin-walled, wide- mouthed pot or bowl tempered with grog, gravelly sand and mica.

It is a huge marble statue of a lion, which is shown leaning on the head of a bull supported by its left paw. The Lion Tumulus is dated by an inscription to AD 14/15 and can be classified as a Royal tomb. Perhaps a rival of the Bosporan King Aspurgus in the struggle for the throne was buried there.

  • Chinese Funerary Ceramics
    Harn Museum of Art Educator Resources Chinese Funerary Ceramics Large Painted Jar (hu) China Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) Earthenware with pigment 15 3/16 x 11 1/8 in. Harn Museum Collection, 1996.23, Museum purchase, gift of Dr. and Mrs. David A. Cofrin Ceramics have been an integral part of Chinese culture throughout its history. How they were fashioned, decorated and used reflected functional needs, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs. High quality ceramic vessels were created as early as the Neolithic period. By the time of the Han dynasty (206 B.C.E. - 220 C.E.), ceramics took many forms, from various types of vessels to figurative work. Surface decoration could take the form of relief, incision, painting, or glazing. Vessels were wheel- thrown, indicating high technical achievement. Many ceramic forms, it seems evident, were modeled on costlier metal prototypes. While ceramics undoubtedly served utilitarian functions, they were also used as funerary objects. During the Han dynasty, the Chinese often buried their dead with objects they would need in the afterlife. This ceramic jar was made for that purpose. Its painted design is intended to resemble lacquer, an extremely valuable material that was considered a sign of high status. Because it was prohibitively expensive for most families to bury the dead with actual lacquer vessels, ceramic replicas were used instead as a way of conserving financial resources for the living. The form and decoration of this jar are perfectly balanced. The painted decoration is intricate and expertly applied. The major theme, seen in the central band, is that of a dragon and a phoenix.

  • June 2016 in France: Chasing the Neolithic - Elly’S Notes
    June 2016 in France: chasing the Neolithic - Elly’s notes I had a conference in the middle of June in Caen, Normandy, and another the end of June in Ghent, Belgium. I rented a car in Paris and drove to Caen and then vacationed in Brittany among the spectacular Neolithic monuments that remain from 6500 years ago. I also saw family in The Netherland before going to Gent. The Brexit vote happened during my stay as did real conversations about the E.U., very different from before. One conference participant cancelled because he was ashamed to be British. Map of the first part of my trip, with the arrows pointing to some of the major areas I visited in France Normandy I spent four days in Caen, Normandy, which was a city much beloved by William the Conqueror and his wife Mathilde. Bayoux, with its famous carpet, is not far but I didn’t visit that. Both William and Mathilda built monasteries to convince the pope into ok-ing their marriage. Below are some pictures of Caen. Very little but interesting street art The city of churches A famous recipee from Caen but not for vegans And more street art The parking garage I had trouble getting out Many bookstores… of! After Caen, I visited Mont St Michel; its size is immense. Before the church was built, there had been a pointed rock – pyramid-like. To construct the church, they first built four crypts around the point and then put the church on the plateau formed that way. The building styles vary depending in which ages they were built: Norman, to Gothic, to Classic.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-64441-0 - The Roman Imperial Mausoleum in Late Antiquity Mark J. Johnson Excerpt More information Introduction Of all the building projects undertaken by Roman emperors during the course of their individual reigns, none elicited more personal interest than their own funerary monuments. In the later Roman Empire, as it had been earlier, these were buildings destined to provide a secure resting place for their mortal remains and a site of cult practices. The monuments were meant to project an image of majesty and importance for all others to see, for these were, in fact, sepulcra divorum, tombs of the divi, or demigods, an honor reserved for emperors. The mausolea of the emperors and members of their families thus constitute one of the most conspicuous groups of buildings in late Roman and Early Christian architecture, some of which are well-preserved, whereas others are now in ruins or known solely from literary sources. These monuments are among the period’s most important examples of funerary architecture, a form that was as innovative and varied as it was ubiquitous in the empire. Previous to the present study, these buildings have never been examined as a group, with two exceptions – a brief article that consisted of little more than an annotated list of monuments, and a slim volume that provides an overview of Roman imperial funerals and monuments.1 Some of the individual mausolea have been the subjects of comprehensive monographs, especially in recent years, though others have been treated only in short articles or as parts of larger works.

Introduction One of the distinctive archaeological features of the Sahara are the megalithic structures that in thousands punctuate the desert landscape as part of a larger phenomenon of Holo- cene North Africa. Stone monuments built to bury animals1, humans2 or exclusively as land- marks3, are found scattered over wide areas across the Sahara since the Middle Holocene, re- vealing a network of cultural connections among early pastoral communities. The typological variability of stone structures, reflecting a long chronological range and the local availability of raw materials, appears also to be correlated to their different functions.

Archaeology is the study of material culture left behind by people from the past. Material culture are things created or used by people, like stone tools, a glass bottle, or even an entire building. Archaeologists look for archaeological sites to try to answer questions about the past. A site is where artifacts, features, or ecofacts are grouped together in an area. This means people were in that area in the past, and it’s up to the archaeologist to figure out what they were doing there. Sometimes archaeologists find things that can’t be easily collected or are part of the environment past peoples used. These things are called features. Features are often large, like the foundation of a house, or difficult to collect from the site, like an ashy campfire ring. Feature example: campfire ring Artifacts are things created or used by past peoples.

The origins of the shrine cults are outlined, the similarities between traditional Muslim and Christian attitudes to shrines are emphasized and the functions of the shrine and the mosque are contrasted. Iranian and Afghan shrines are classified, firstly in terms of the objects which form their principal attrac­ tions and the saints associated with them, and secondly in terms of the distances over which they attract pilgrims. The administration and endowments of shrines are described and the relationship between shrines and secular authorities analysed.
