ARCH 2320: Household Archaeology in the Ancient Near East and Beyond
ARCH 2320: Household archaeology in the ancient Near East and beyond Brown University Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World Fall Semester 2014 Graduate Level Seminar Tuesdays 4:00 - 6:20 PM Instructor: Dr. Miriam Müller Office: Rhode Island Hall, Room 208 Email: [email protected] Phone: (401) 863-6936 Office Hours: Thursdays 1-3pm Course description Household archaeology as a new subfield in archaeology is becoming a major focus in the archaeological research in the coming years. Recent conferences and publications demonstrate the importance and impact of this new discipline in Near Eastern archaeology and beyond. After introducing the principles of household archaeology, the course will give an overview on the state of the field in the entire Near East and eastern Mediterranean. Drawing on developments from New World archaeology, the course will analyze the potential and problems of household archaeology and give a prospect on future directions in the field. House, home, household, family - when looking for a precise definition of these terms it immediately becomes clear that they are not as explicit as they seem to be. A ‘household’ as described by thefreedictionary.com is 1a) a domestic unit consisting of the members of a family who live together along with nonrelatives such as servants; 1b) the living spaces and possessions belonging to such a unit; 2) a person or group of people occupying a single dwelling. The term ‘household’ thus equally stands not only for the domestic unit, the house, the space, and its belongings, but also for a single person or a group often connected with a family living together in one dwelling. -

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. -

Running head: History, Egyptology and the Bible 1 History, Egyptology, and the Bible: An Interdisciplinary Case Study from a Biblical Foundation Michael G. 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. -
