These sites are of great importance, where numerous remains of elephants and cave bears have been found, in addi- tion to the human fossil remains that led to the discovery of a new species: Homo Antecessor. To understand better what life was like for these ancient inhabitants of Earth, you can visit the Experimental Archaeology Centre (CAREX), in the outskirts of the town of Atapuerca, a space designed for children and adults to have fun and learn through experi- ments. Try to start a fire or make tools using the techniques of thousands of years ago. You're sure to be amazed. You can see the fossil remains found in Atapuerca at the modern Museum of Human Evolution (MEH), in the city of Burgos. This futuristic architectural space is designed to explain the value and importance of these discoveries, as well as the scientific disciplines and techniques used in researching and a MUSEUM OF HUMAN EVOLUTION explaining them.

  • Summer Spanish Language
    Summer Spanish Language July 2013 ← Woody Allen Statue Woody Allen Campo San Francisco ↓ Oviedo is a small city, though it felt big. It is a mix of old and new: old and new architecture, people, traditions, etc. There are always people out and about in the city, walking to the store, meeting friends at cafes, walk- ing their dogs, or shopping. Every neighborhood has its own stores: shops selling fruits and veggies, or breads, or books, or haircuts, and everything in be- tween . Few people speak fluent English , which was challenging, but good for learning Spanish . Oviedo was a great place to spend a month in Spain . El Camino de Santiago ↓ The University of Oviedo is spread across several campus- es throughout the city. All of our Spanish classes were on the humanities campus, in La Casa de las Lenguas. Clas- ses were held Monday through Friday, from 9:30 to 2:00. We had students of all levels, from those who had abso- lutely no Spanish experience, to some who were fluent. ← Casa de las Lenguas My class in Oviedo was the best Spanish class I think I’ve ever taken . I enjoyed being in class. I wanted to be the person who was called on to read or answer questions, simply because I wanted to use my Spanish . The teachers were great, and the fact that they didn’t speak any English made it even better. It was intimidating at first, and often frustrating, but I think it was better that way. I fell in love with Spanish , and I just wanted to keep learning.

    Nisan / The Levantine Review Volume 4 Number 2 (Winter 2015) Identity and Peoples in History Speculating on Ancient Mediterranean Mysteries Mordechai Nisan* We are familiar with a philo-Semitic disposition characterizing a number of communities, including Phoenicians/Lebanese, Kabyles/Berbers, and Ismailis/Druze, raising the question of a historical foundation binding them all together. The ethnic threads began in the Galilee and Mount Lebanon and later conceivably wound themselves back there in the persona of Al-Muwahiddun [Unitarian] Druze. While DNA testing is a fascinating methodology to verify the similarity or identity of a shared gene pool among ostensibly disparate peoples, we will primarily pursue our inquiry using conventional historical materials, without however—at the end—avoiding the clues offered by modern science. Our thesis seeks to substantiate an intuition, a reading of the contours of tales emanating from the eastern Mediterranean basin, the Levantine area, to Africa and Egypt, and returning to Israel and Lebanon. The story unfolds with ancient biblical tribes of Israel in the north of their country mixing with, or becoming Lebanese Phoenicians, travelling to North Africa—Tunisia, Algeria, and Libya in particular— assimilating among Kabyle Berbers, later fusing with Shi’a Ismailis in the Maghreb, who would then migrate to Egypt, and during the Fatimid period evolve as the Druze. The latter would later flee Egypt and return to Lebanon—the place where their (biological) ancestors had once dwelt. The original core group was composed of Hebrews/Jews, toward whom various communities evince affinity and identity today with the Jewish people and the state of Israel.

  • Demography Roman Spain
    CARRERAS MONFORT C. A new perspective for the demographic study of Roman Spain. Revista de Historia da Arte e Arqueologia n.2, 1995-1996; pp. 59-82. A NEW PERSPECTIVE FOR THE DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY OF ROMAN SPAIN César Carreras Monfort* * Universitat Oberta de Catalunya e-mail: [email protected] In the last years, there has been an increase in the number of demographic studies of ancient societies, with the main aim to recognize the internal organization of the populations and, to some extent, how the resources of a territory determined patterns of distribution [Gallo, 1984; Parkin, 1992]. Actually, within the limits of the Roman society, these studies allowed us to revise again basic concepts such as the relationship between the urban and rural world [López Paz, 1994], or even, to discuss about the degree of urbanism that supposedly it is accepted for the Graeco-Roman world. The demographic analyses on the Roman period were recently favoured by a better knowledge now, of the urban perimeters of ancient Roman cities, and the patterns of rural distribution; thanks to the contribution of either the urban archaeology and the rural field-surveys [Barker, 1991] and cadastres studies [Chouquer and Favory, 1991]. Furthermore, the important contribution of papyrology also stands out, since they supply information on demography, which despite being basically about Roman Egypt, it can be extrapolated to other provinces [Hombert and Preaux, 1952; Bagnall and Frier, 1994]. These new documental evidences allow us to carry out a new estimate, from another viewpoint, of the population in a very particular province such as Roman Spain, and also they become a headway in the detailed study of population patterns.

  • The Toledo Branding As Touristic Promotion Example of Heritage Cities by Marta Rico Jerez, Ph.D
    Global Journal of Management and Business Research: F Real Estate, Event and Tourism Management Volume 18 Issue 1 Version 1.0 Year 2018 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4588 & Print ISSN: 0975-5853 The Toledo Branding as Touristic Promotion Example of Heritage Cities By Marta Rico Jerez, Ph.D Abstract- The main purpose of this research was to analyse how branding affects the promotion of Heritage Cities, taking Toledo as an example. In order to reach this objective, the specifics goals were: To know how the city of Toledo creates its branding, to determine how the communication influences the city’s international positioning and to explain why branding is a basic instrument for attracting tourists to one World Heritage City. These goals were achieved through a qualitative methodology and with exploratory, explanatory and content analysis. At the same time, this methodology allowed us to conclude that the city of Toledo added event management as a communication tool, hence organized different events in accordance with values such as culture, gastronomy, religion and leisure. These events were spread, fundamentally, in social media and in international tourism exhibitions. Thanks to this reinforcement, Toledo has overcome a classic problem, the few overnight stays due to its nearness to Madrid and, above all, it has reached an international positioning. Keywords: heritage cities, toledo brand, touristic events, international positioning, touristic communication, place branding, place marketing, touristic promotion.

  • Week 9: Rome & the Provinces
    MMM Week 9: Rome & The Provinces 1. Range of Roman rule Of this whole country that is subject to the Romans, some parts are indeed ruled by kings, but the Romans retain others themselves, calling them Provinces, and send to them praefects and collectors of tribute. But there are also some free cities, of which some came over to the Romans at the outset as friends, whereas others were set free by the Romans themselves as a mark of honour. There are also some potentates and phylarchs and priests subject to them. Now these live in accordance with certain ancestral laws. (Strabo, Geo. 17.3.24=LACTOR M29) 2a. Judaea census, AD 6 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria. (Gospel of Luke 2.1-2) b. Response to census Now Cyrenius (Quirinius), a Roman senator, and one who had gone through other magistracies, and had passed through them till he had been consul, and one who, on other accounts, was of great dignity, came at this time into Syria, with a few others, being sent by Caesar to be a judge of that nation, and to take an account of their substance. … Moreover, Cyrenius came himself into Judea, which was now added to the province of Syria, to take an account of their substance, and to dispose of Archelaus's money; but the Jews, although at the beginning they took the report of a taxation heinously, yet did they leave off any further opposition to it, by the persuasion of Joazar, who was the son of Beethus, and high priest; so they, being over-persuaded by Joazar's words, gave an account of their estates, without any dispute about it.
