At its 98th session, held at Santiago de Compostela, Spain, in June 2014, the Executive Council recognized the role of Tourism routes in fostering regional development and integration at national and international levels and encouraged the Secretary-General “to expand the action of the existing UNWTO Special Field Programme (Silk Road) to tourism routes in a broader sense with the aim of defining recommendations, exchange experiences and exploring the potential of working on new international or regional tourism routes”. (Decision 18 (XCVIII)) 2. The wealth and diversity of the Middle East’s and North Africa’s heritage, both tangible and intangible, provides extensive opportunities for the development of sustainable tourism along legendary cultural, religious and commercial routes, similar to the well-established Silk Road, which already counts upon the very active participation of Iraq and Egypt. Taking into consideration the numerous collaborative opportunities specified in the Silk Road Action Plan 2014/2015, countries with interest in developing the collaborative initiatives along the Silk Road are encouraged to engage with the 31 Member States actively cooperating within a unified platform under the aegis of the UNWTO Silk Road Programme. 3. UNWTO has gained significant experience in enhancing cooperation among Member States through its Silk Road Programme, as well as through other initiatives such as the collaboration with the European Institute for Cultural Routes, the Amber Route and the Spice Route.

I just didn't like the use of latin words salted throughout the book. I also felt it was boring at the time. Fast forward a couple of years of pretty much exclusively reading Roman novel's, I decided to give Fire In The East another go, and I'm really glad I did. This time around I wasn't bothered with the latin words peppered throughout the book. I felt they gave it a unique signature. I also didn't find the first half boring. I felt it created great character development and a awesome detailed account of what it would take to prepare for a siege. The second half of Fire In The East is brilliantly executed and Harry Sidebottom definitely did his research to bring to life the horrible reality of what a siege was like.

The article, which focuses mainly on the role of Benedict the Pole, is divided into five parts: the reasons and organization of the deputation sent to the Mongols by Pope Innocent IV from 1245-1248, the route travelled by the Papal envoys, the existing versions of the two surviving accounts of the mission, the role of Benedict the Pole as the secretary and translator to the papal legate Pian de Carpine, and the outcome of the journey as seen from the perspective of Europe-Asia contacts.

Compared with many other ancient structures, considerable experience is required to identify and interpret traces of roads in the form of abandoned tracks. As a consequence, their recording and preservation present many challenges. Nonetheless, in the mid-1990s, under the leadership of Kristian Kristiansen, the former Division of Cultural History of the National Forest and Nature Agency, under the Danish Ministry of Environment, took on the task of creating a national database of remains of prehistoric and historic tracks and roads.

We are travelling to Gdansk (Danzig). I try to follow your traces, my finger bouncing off the blue lines of the road map as we skirt the edges of potholes. Drewnica, Ostaszewa, Szymankowo, Oslonka. Where are those Frisian farms of yours? We are on our way to Elblag; could that be your Elbing? “Look,” says Wacek, “order and civilization,” indicating the grim slate roofs, the heavy-bottomed Gothic chapels. He is not being ironic. He means: Germans built these towns. Prussians. Not slovenly Poles. Wacek is a Pole. Disposing of vast, waterlogged estates on the Vistula delta, German Catholic and Lutheran landlords in the early 1500s invited Dutch Anabaptists, among them Mennonites, to come dike and dam their lands.

  • Prassolow Et Al on the Significance and Research Potential of the Grebieten Burial Ground: a Reconstruction of the Prewar State
    ON THE SIGNIFICANCE AND RESEARCH POTENTIAL OF THE GREBIETEN BURIAL GROUND: A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PREWAR STATE OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE PROSPECTS FOR MODERN RESEARCH 23 BALTICA JAROSLAW A. PRASSOLOW, KONSTANTIN N. SKVORTSOV ARCHAEOLOGIA Abstract The Grebieten burial ground, situated in the former Kreis Fischhausen of the German Empire’s province of East Prussia, (currently in the Zelenogradskii district of the Kaliningrad oblast’, Russian Federation), represents a reference monument of Sambian-Natangian culture, and at the same time is one of its best investigated archaeological sites. However, a recent comparative analysis of the available sources of information showed that the modern state of knowledge is incomplete, while the research potential of the monument is far from being exhausted. This article gives an overview of the state of research, as well as of the open questions and gaps in our knowledge. Along with a description of the currently available sources of information and their limitations, the publication informs readers about recently conducted archaeological studies, performed both on the partially preserved prewar archaeological material and on the monument. Besides the actual reintroduction of Grebieten into scientific research, the authors point out its role and its significance in the much more complex archaeological context. The results of recent research suggest strongly that the Grebieten burial ground is part of a much larger complex of archaeological monuments situated along the western coast of the Sambian Peninsula, in the close vicinity of amber collect- ing areas. This settlement complex played an important role in the collection and trade in amber, which defined the nature of Sambian-Natangian culture in the Roman Iron Age and Migration Period.

The original volumes in German, and also in the Spanish translation that I have been using, contain thousands of endnotes omitted here. This preliminary translation is only the first step for a more formal translation of Deschner’s magnum opus. I have added some headings as well as several illustrations with footnotes explaining them, as well as brackets translating German or Latin terms. Sometimes, I have omitted the ellipsis between unquoted paragraphs, and even dared to simplify a few phrases. I also replaced many instances of the author’s use of the word ‘pagan’ with terms like ‘Hellenes’, ‘advocates of Greco-Roman culture’, ‘classical culture’ or simply added quotation marks on the word ‘pagan’. Such editorial liberties moved me to use the initials of the author on the present book’s cover instead of his full name. My chosen term, Hellenes, requires some clarification.

  • Secrets of the Silk Road Educators' Guide
    letter from the museum Dear Educators, I am delighted to introduce you to our newest major exhibition, Secrets of the Silk Road, through this guide for your use in the classroom. Secrets of the Silk Road contains over 100 objects, including two extraordinary mummies, from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Museum in China. The exhibition focuses on the cultural influences of trade and exchange in Central Asia, before and during the height of the Silk Road, and is illustrated by an impressive collection of incredibly well-preserved archaeological objects. Secrets of the Silk Road takes familiar concepts of trade, migration, technology, and mummification–discussed in the Penn Museum’s other galleries and in classrooms all over the world–and looks at them in the context of the Tarim Basin, a remote place in Central Asia many of us have never heard of before. This area is particularly interesting to archaeologists and anthropologists because it lies right at the heart of the Silk Road, and thus became a melting pot for the cultural influences of the people traveling through it from China in the east, and from Europe and the Middle East in the west. An interest in China and its cultural heritage has been engrained in the fabric of the Penn Museum since its completion of the Chinese Rotunda in 1915. This impressive domed space has become synonymous with the architecture of the Museum, and is home to an extraordinary collection of Chinese sculpture. In 1996 the Penn Museum was the natural place on Penn’s campus to host “The Mystery Mummies of the Tarim Basin, Central Asia” conference, organized by Penn Professor Victor Mair, which increased our interest in the mummies now in the collection of the Xinjiang Museum.

  • Eastern Europe Within the Ancient World-Systems*
    Eastern Europe within the Ancient World-Systems* Tatyana L. Shestova Eastern Europe is considered as a space of the world trade systems expan- sion/contraction process in the early world-systems from Chalcolithic to early Iron Age. The author identifies system-forming agents and six major periods in the development of the trade relations in the ancient world which involved East- ern Europe. The paper shows the relationship between the boundaries of early exchange systems and metallurgical provinces. Keywords: early world-systems, expansion/contraction of world-systems, East- ern Europe, system-forming subjects, the basic trade-system element, metallurgi- cal provinces, Balkan-Carpathian, Circumpontic, Trans Eurasian, Greek and Roman trade systems. In recent decades there have been many works devoted to the origin of the world econom- ic system and to the role of early civilizations in the formation of the foundations of long- distance trade (Frank 1993; Frank, Thompson 2005; Gills and Thompson 2006; Chase- Dunn and Manning 2002; Chase-Dunn et al. 2010; Chase-Dunn and Hall 1997; Hall et al. 2009; Abu-Lughod 1989; Barfield 1989; Grinin, Ilyin, and Korotayev 2012; Grinin and Korotayev 2012). Unfortunately, the authors of the world-system approach – Andre Gunder Frank, Barry Gills, William Thompson, Janet Abu-Lughod, Christopher Chase- Dunn, Thomas Hall and others – commonly pay little attention to the regions located in the north of the early civilizations and, in particular, to Eastern Europe. For example, Frank and Thompson excluded Eastern Europe from the list of areas of economic expansion, when highlighting their indicators of the world-systems ‘expansion/contraction’ in the ear- ly Iron Age (Frank and Thompson 2006: 144).
