This handbook is required reading. It contains vital practical information, and introduces the methods that we use in the excavation. Even if you’ve dug at Monte Polizzo before, read the handbook. It’s better than ever this year. If you’re taking the Stanford course Classics 150/250/Archaeology 113, “Archaeological fieldwork in the Mediterranean,” in spring quarter 2004, you should read the handbook in conjunction with it. The information in the handbook is a necessary compliment to what you’ll read in Wheeler and the other texts. When you come to Sicily in July, BRING THIS HANDBOOK WITH YOU! It contains information you’ll need as the dig progresses. Even more importantly, if anything goes wrong during your trip, the handbook tells you how to contact us, so we can put things right. A lot of people miss plane connections in Milan or Rome, and if you show up in Palermo at a different time from the one you told us and don’t have the handbook with you, you won’t be able to reach us, and we can’t come and get you. So bring the handbook with you. 1.2 Contact information (important!) These are the crucial cell phone numbers. If you run into any difficulties, CALL SOMEONE. There’s some information on p. 115 about how to make phone calls within Italy. If you call us in Sicily from the US, please bear in mind that Sicily is 9 hours ahead of California. We’re normally up by about 6 a.m. (Salemi time) on weekdays; please don’t call after 10 p.m., Sicilian time, unless there’s an emergency. If you can’t reach a team member, leave a message with Tanya Brunot, who’ll serve as contact person. When you’re calling from the US to Sicily, add 011-39 before these numbers: Emma Blake 339-824-8921 Brien Garnand 333-676-1620 Trinity Jackman 333-361-3151 Ian Morris 333-324 5369 Chris Sevara 339-224-2282 Bengt Westergaard 333-440-4214 Ufficio Turistico 924-991-320 Tanya Brunot Classics administrator: (650) 723-2582 Classics department Main number: (650) 723-2581 Police, ambulance 113 (within Sicily) One final thing: if you’re away from Salemi overnight at any point during the project, you must give Brien Garnand a list of who’s in your group, where you’ve gone, when you’ll be back, and, if any member(s) of your group have cell phones, numbers we can reach you at. 1.3 Timetable Dig calendar: Monday July 12 Arrive in Palermo Tuesday July 13 First day on site For trench supervisors: orientation For everyone: site tour Saturday July 17 Work Saturday (Saturdays and Sundays are free, unless noted) Sunday August 15 Feast of the Assumption (Ferragosto) Saturday August 21 Work Saturday: last day of digging Monday August 23 Backfill site Tuesday August 24 Clean dig house Wednesday Aug 25 Go home! Normal daily schedule: 5.30-6.00 am Get up (depending on how much time you need in the morning) 6.00-6.20 am Breakfast 6.30 am On-site team leaves dig house; lab teams clean up 7.00 am Start work 9.00-9.15 am Coffee break (though there’s no coffee on site) 11.00-11.30 am Lunch 2.00 or 2.30 pm Finish digging 3-4 or 7-8 pm Clean pottery and bones, do paperwork 3-7 or 4-8 pm Free time 8 pm Dinner 2 Safety 2.1 General concerns We’ve had very few accidents on site, and we want to keep it that way. If you follow the 25 rules, there should be no problems. 1. Never run in or around the trenches. 2. Never sit or stand on the balk (trench edge) or the top of profiles: these can collapse, causing serious injuries. 3. Don’t walk along the walls; the stones are sometimes loose.

  • Spanish Influence in Late Medieval Malta
    Spanish Influence in Late Medieval Malta Stanley Fiorini Introduction Charles of Anjou’s (King of Sicily from 1266 to 1282) ambitions and hard-fisted regime provoked the Sicilian catastrophe of 1282 culminating in Lu Rebellamentu of the Vespers at the end of March of that year. If the involvement of Malta in the event was peripheral in the planning stages of the coup,1 it was certainly crucial in its aftermath, for the Angevins continued to resist from the Castrum Maris in Birgu which remained in their hands in spite of the decisive naval battle which the Aragonese Don Roger de Luria (1245–1305) won in the Grand Harbour on 8 July 1283. Prior to his departure, Luria stationed 300 Catalan soldiers – 200 at Mdina and 100 in the Gozo Castello – to render the islands safe against further Angevin aggression from those still at the Castrum Maris, which held out until February 1284.2 Direct Spanish contacts with Malta are evident very soon after the Sicilian Vespers, that momentous event whereby Sicily, and Malta with it, passed into a new Western Mediterranean sphere, the confederation of the Aragonese crown. Further to the 300 Catalan soldiers left here by de Luria, already in January 1283, we see King Pedro III (1276–85) granting a salvus conductus to the Catalan Ugo de Cambrilis and his party travelling to Malta from Sicily.3 De Cambrilis, who hailed from Barcelona, was a high- ranking official, sufficiently esteemed by the king to be entrusted with the intermediary role between His Majesty and the Angevins holding the Castrum of Malta, including the issuing of salvi conductus in his own hand, to the latter.4 With the final take-over of the Castrum Maris by the Aragonese, who appointed Manfred Lancia captain of the islands,5 1 G.

  • Carla Guzzone Soprintendenza Per I Beni Culturali Ed Ambientali Di Caltanissetta
    Carla Guzzone Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali ed Ambientali di Caltanissetta Siti archeologici del territorio nisseno in rapporto alle testimonianze diodoree. L’importanza crescente che l’opera di Diodoro riveste negli studi di storia antica, non solo stret- tamente siciliana, è ormai riconosciuta ben al di là dell’ambito rigorosamente specialistico. Questa consapevolezza, già certamente presente agli organizzatori del convegno tenutosi tra Catania ed Agira nel dicembre 1984, con il coordinamento scientifico dell’Università degli Studi di Catania, risultò enormemente accresciuta dai contributi offerti, proprio in quella circostanza, alla definizione della prospettiva storica complessiva di Diodoro ed alla conoscenza del suo metodo storiografico. 1 Nell’am bito degli studi sul mondo antico, uno fra i campi di ricerca che hanno obbiettivamen- te tratto maggiori vantaggi dalla consultazione del testo diodoreo è certo quello archeologico, in relazione al quale Diodoro ha spesso fornito al dato materiale conferme e sostanza storica (antici- pandolo – talvolta - sorprendentemente), fornendo nuovi spunti alla ricerca e contribuendo ad orientare una stimolante impostazione di nuove problematiche archeologiche. Una rilettura, per ovvie ragioni selettiva, della Biblioteca, applicata all’archeologia del territo- rio provinciale di Caltanissetta, non può non ricondurci in primo luogo alla Sikanìa, e a quella media valle del Platani, in cui le fonti esplicitamente ambientano ( Hdt. VII, 170-171) la leggenda di Dedalo, Minosse e Kokalos e la saga dei cretesi in Sicilia, dettagliatamente narrata da Diodoro nel suo IV libro. La vicenda è nota. Il cretese Minosse, signore dei mari, giunge a Camico, reggia del sicano Kokalos, per vendicarsi dell’artefice Dedalo lì rifugiatosi, ma vi perisce nel bagno caldo apprestato con ingannevole ospitalità dalle figlie del re.

  • A Historical Review and Quantitative Analysis of International Criminal Justice
    CHAPTER TWELVE A HISTORICAL REVIEW AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE Section 1. The Historical Stages of International Criminal Justice ICJ made its way into international practice in several stages. The first period ranges from 1268 until 1815, effectively from the first international criminal pros- ecution of Conradin von Hohenstaufen in Naples through the end of World War I. The second stage begins with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles and ranges from 1919 until 2014, when it is expected that all of the existing direct and mixed model tribunals will have closed, leaving only the International Criminal Court (ICC). The third impending stage will begin in January 2015, when the ICC will be the primary international criminal tribunal. 1.1. The Early Historic Period—Thirteenth to Nineteenth Centuries The first period, which could prosaically be called the early historic period, is characterized by three major events occurring in 1268, 1474, and 1815, respectively. In 1268, the trial of Conradin von Hohenstaufen, a German nobleman, took place in Italy when Conradin was sixteen years of age.1 He was tried and exe- cuted for transgressing the Pope’s dictates by attacking a fellow noble French ruler, wherein he pillaged and killed Italian civilians at Tagliacozzo, near Naples. The killings were deemed to constitute crimes “against the laws of God and Man.” The trial was essentially a political one. In fact, it was a perversion of ICJ and demonstrated how justice could be used for political ends. The crime— assuming it can be called that—was in the nature of a “crime against peace,” as that term came to be called in the Nuremberg Charter’s Article 6(a), later to be called aggression under the UN Charter.

    Davide Tanasi and Nicholas C. Vella (eds), Site, artefacts and landscape - Prehistoric Borġ in-Nadur, Malta, 251-282 ©2011 Polimetrica International Scientific Publisher Monza/Italy 9. Mobility and transitions: the south-central Mediterranean on the eve of history Nicholas C. Vella – Department of Classics and Archaeology, University of Malta, Malta [email protected] Davide Tanasi – Arcadia University, The College of Global Studies, MCAS, Italy [email protected] Maxine Anastasi – Department of Classics and Archaeology, University of Malta, Malta [email protected] Abstract. This paper reviews the evidence for maritime connections between Malta and Sicily in the second millennium BC and considers their social implications. Since much of what has been written by antiquarians and archaeologists about the islands was often the result of more modern maritime connections and knowledge transfer between local and foreign scholars, we begin by arguing for the relevance of a spatially oriented history of archaeological thought and practice. 9.1. Introduction Mobility is the hallmark of the Bronze and early Iron ages, not only movement of humans across the Mediterranan but with them ideas, beliefs, and ways of doing. The invention of the sail somewhere along the eastern shores of the Middle Sea resulted in what Broodbank has called ‘the shrinkage of the Mediterranean’, a process which brought easterners ever closer to the islands and coastal regions of the centre of that sea from about the mid-second 252 Nicholas C. Vella, Davide Tanasi, Maxine Anastasi millennium BC1. This is not to say that mobility did not occur in earlier periods in prehistory: the obsidian exchange system tells us much about movement in the Neolithic2 whereas the phenomenon related to the distribution of Beaker pottery during the Chalcolithic/Early Bronze Age is now being explained in part by reference to a structured interaction involving small-scale population movements between regions3.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.

Special thanks should also be addressed to Mary Cunningham for her comments on an early draft of this thesis and for providing me with unpublished material of her work. I would like also to express my gratitude to Marka Tomic Djuric who allowed me to use unpublished photographic material from her doctoral thesis. Special thanks should also be addressed to Kanela Oikonomaki whose expertise in Medieval Greek smoothened the translation of a number of texts, my brother Nick Panou for polishing my English, and to my colleagues (Polyvios Konis, Frouke Schrijver and Vera Andriopoulou) and my friends in Birmingham (especially Jane Myhre Trejo and Ola Pawlik) for the wonderful time we have had all these years.
