Mesopotamian Political History Into Distinct Halves. Thus the Old Baby
FOR FURTHER READING 109 Mesopotamian political history into distinct halves. Thus the Old Baby- lonian world is deeply rooted in the third millennium, while Kassite culture is more akin to the first. Potts, Daniel T. Mesopotamian Civilization: The Material Foundations. Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 1997. A useful collection of stand-alone essays covering features of Mesopotamian civilization often overlooked in other studies. Gives much attention to the written cuneiform sources while also updating and interacting with the perti- nent secondary literature. Roaf, Michael. Cultural Atlas of Mesopotamia and the Ancient Near East. New York: Facts on File, 1996. The best available atlas on ancient Mesopotamia. Also includes much discussion and treatment of relevant background information. Roux, Georges. Ancient Iraq. 3rd ed. London: Penguin, 1992. Written by a French medical doctor who subsequently became a scholar of ancient Mesopotamia in his own right and published articles in technical jour- nals. A comprehensive survey with an astounding sweep from Paleolithic times to the Sassanians (224–651 C.E.), this book is engag- ingly written and lucid. Its usefulness is still evident in its third edition since its original publication in 1964. Saggs, H. W. F. The Greatness That Was Babylon: A Survey of the Ancient Civilization of the Tigris-Euphrates Valley. 2nd ed. London: Sidgwick & Jackson, 1988. Originally published in 1962, this authoritative and comprehensive treatment covers Babylonian society, law and adminis- tration, trade and economics, religion, literature, and science, as well as providing an overview of political history. Abbreviated and more up-to-date treatment may be found in the author’s Babylonians (Berke- ley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 2000). -
1 Women of Ivory As Embodiments of Ideal Feminine Beauty in The
Women of Ivory as Embodiments of Ideal Feminine Beauty in the ancient Near East during the First Millennium BCE A dissertation presented by Amy Rebecca Gansell to The Department of History of Art and Architecture in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the subject of History of Art and Architecture Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts May 23, 2008 1 © 2008 – Amy Rebecca Gansell All rights reserved. 2 Professor Irene Winter Amy Rebecca Gansell Women of Ivory as Embodiments of Ideal Feminine Beauty in the ancient Near East during the First Millennium BCE ABSTRACT This thesis identifies and explores aspects of ideal feminine beauty embodied in first millennium BCE Levantine ivory sculptures of women. A corpus of two hundred and ten works, which were examined firsthand, is the subject of interdisciplinary analysis. In Part I, the ivory sculptures are studied through traditional visual and art historical methods. Also, in order to add precision to visual observations and to reveal information not evident through visual investigation alone, a collaborative quantitative analysis of the figures’ characteristics, attributes, and proportions is pursued. In Part II, with the aim of interpreting the meaning and cultural significance of the ivory sculptures and the ideal feminine beauty that they represented, comparative materials are introduced. Archaeological, textual, and ethnoarchaeological evidence are presented as in-roads to the ancient visual record. Comparative study illuminates cultural conceptions of beauty during the first millennium BCE and stimulates new ways of looking at and thinking about the ivories. Overall, this thesis hopes to demonstrate the significance of representations of women (and living women themselves) in the ancient Near Eastern experience. -

Until the 1920s, “mathematics in use” (number systems, metrology, tables and some practical calculations of areas) was the object of study – only very few texts dealing with more advanced matters were approached before 1929, and with quite limited results. -
