A PRELIMINARY MUSEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE MILWAUKEE PUBLIC MUSEUM’S EUPHRATES VALLEY EXPEDITION METAL COLLECTION by Jamie Patrick Henry A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee December 2015 ABSTRACT A PRELIMINARY MUSEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE MILWAUKEE PUBLIC MUSEUM’S EUPHRATES VALLEY EXPEDITION METAL COLLECTION by Jamie Patrick Henry The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2015 Under the Supervision of Professor Bettina Arnold Destruction of ancient sites along the Euphrates River in northern Syria due to the construction of the Tabqa Dam and the formation of Lake Assad led to many international salvage expeditions, including those conducted between 1974 and 1978 by the Milwaukee Public Museum (MPM) at the site of Tell Hadidi, Syria under the direction of Dr. Rudolph Dornemann. The hundreds of thousands of artifacts collected represent the MPM’s share of the excavated material but the site has never been completely published. Only two previous studies have discussed the metal artifacts recovered during excavation. McClellan (1983) provided a short paper detailing compositional analysis of eight metal artifacts. Boor (2012) focused on Area C ceramics, but provided descriptions of 80 metal artifacts, based upon existing museum catalog information. This preliminary analysis presents an updated inventory of 941 metal artifacts as well as a wealth of additional information uncovered about the Tell Hadidi excavations and the Euphrates Valley Expedition, whose publication in some form become has become critical for several reasons recently. In 1991, with the retirement of Dr. Dornemann, the collection began a gradual decline into the obscurity often experienced by material not intended for extensive use in museum ii programs or exhibits. Salvage excavations attempt to maximize collections in order to save as much as possible, but such collections present particular problems for new museum staff members who have no expertise in the geographic area from which the material was excavated. For over 35 years the collection has languished in storage while institutional memory of its significance has gradually faded. More recently, through collections management and programming, as well as graduate thesis projects, it has become a valuable resource for a new generation of museum professionals. iii © Copyright by Jamie Patrick Henry, 2015 All Rights Reserved iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1.

  • Offensive Against the Syrian City of Manbij May Be the Beginning of a Campaign to Liberate the Area Near the Syrian-Turkish Border from ISIS
    June 23, 2016 Offensive against the Syrian City of Manbij May Be the Beginning of a Campaign to Liberate the Area near the Syrian-Turkish Border from ISIS Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) fighters at the western entrance to the city of Manbij (Fars, June 18, 2016). Overview 1. On May 31, 2016, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a Kurdish-dominated military alliance supported by the United States, initiated a campaign to liberate the northern Syrian city of Manbij from ISIS. Manbij lies west of the Euphrates, about 35 kilometers (about 22 miles) south of the Syrian-Turkish border. In the three weeks since the offensive began, the SDF forces, which number several thousand, captured the rural regions around Manbij, encircled the city and invaded it. According to reports, on June 19, 2016, an SDF force entered Manbij and occupied one of the key squares at the western entrance to the city. 2. The declared objective of the ground offensive is to occupy Manbij. However, the objective of the entire campaign may be to liberate the cities of Manbij, Jarabulus, Al-Bab and Al-Rai, which lie to the west of the Euphrates and are ISIS strongholds near the Turkish border. For ISIS, the loss of the area is liable to be a severe blow to its logistic links between the outside world and the centers of its control in eastern Syria (Al-Raqqah), Iraq (Mosul). Moreover, the loss of the region will further 112-16 112-16 2 2 weaken ISIS's standing in northern Syria and strengthen the military-political position and image of the Kurdish forces leading the anti-ISIS ground offensive.

  • Quelques Plantes Présentes En Mésopotamie1 Anne-Isabelle Langlois2
    Le Journal des Médecines Cunéiformes n° 18, 2011 Quelques plantes présentes en Mésopotamie1 Anne-Isabelle Langlois2 Je remercie Gilles Buisson et Annie Attia d'avoir attiré mon attention sur l'utilité pour la communauté scientifique de pouvoir accéder à une liste des plantes retrouvées par les fouilles archéologiques effectuées en Iraq et en Syrie. En me basant sur la précieuse bibliographie archéobotanique des sites du Proche-Orient élaborée par Naomi F. Miller et mise en ligne sur le site http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~nmiller0/biblio.html, j'ai examiné les rapports des différentes fouilles afin d'établir la liste suivante. Cette liste, qui ne se veut pas exhaustive, présente les plantes, selon leur nom latin et par ordre alphabétique, retrouvées lors de fouilles au Proche-Orient. Leur nom anglais, parfois, et la famille à laquelle elles appartiennent selon la classification classique des plantes sont précisés entre parenthèses. Chaque nom de plante est alors suivi par l'inventaire des sites archéologiques, eux- mêmes classés par ordre alphabétique, attestant sa présence. Abutilon theophrasti (Malvaceae) : Cafer Höyük Acer (Maple, Aceraceae) : Khirbet al Umbashi, M'lefaat, Tell al-Rawda Achillea (Asteraceae) : Umm el-Marra Adonis aestivalis (Ranunculaceae) : Cafer Höyük Adonis dentata (Ranunculaceae) : Nimrud, Tell Aswad Adonis flammea type (Ranunculaceae) : M'lefaat, Tell Nebi Mend Adonis cf. annua (Ranunculaceae) : Abu Hureyra, Tell Nebi Mend Adonis sp.3 (Pheasant's eye, Ranunculaceae) : Dja'de, Emar, Jerf el Ahmar, Qatna, Tell Bderi, Tell Halula, Tell Jerablus, Tell Jouweif, Tell Leilan, Tell Mozan, Tell Mureybet, Tell Qara Qūzāq, Tell al- Rawda, Tell Sheikh Hamad, Umm el-Marra Aegilops crassa (Goat's-face grass, Gramineae/Poaceae) : Cafer Höyük, Choga Mami, Nimrud, Tell Brak, Tell Jerablus, Tell Karrana, Tell Qara Qūzāq, Umm Qseir 1 Note des éditeurs : article reçu en décembre 2010.

The Phoenicians first settled the Maltese islands sometime in the early to late seventh century B.C., and their material culture left a lasting influence on the island for nearly a millennium. Beginning in the early 1600s, Phoenician material culture began to be recognized as such. Following wider trends in the Enlightenment era in Europe, Maltese nobility and clergy began collecting antiquities.

  • Artist's Proposal
    Gabbert Artist’s Proposal 14th Street Roundabout Page 434 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor Ladies and Gentlemen, Thank you for this opportunity. For your consideration I propose a work tentatively titled “Flame”. I believe it to be simple-yet- compelling, symbolic, and appropriate to this setting. Dimensions will be 20 feet high by 14.5 feet wide by 14.5 feet deep. It sits on a 3.5 feet high by 9 feet in diameter base. (not accurately dimensioned in the 3D graphics) The composition. The design has substance, and yet, there is practically no impediment to drivers’ visibility. After review of the design by a structural engineer the flame flicks may need to be pierced with openings to meet the 150 mph wind velocity requirement. I see no problem in adjusting the design to accommodate any change like this. Fire can represent our passions, zeal, creativity, and motivation. The “flame” can suggest the light held by the Statue of Liberty, the fire from Prometheus, the spirit of the city, and the hearth-fire of 612.207.8895 | jgsculpture.webs.com | [email protected] 14th Street Roundabout Page 435 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor home. It would be lit at night with a soft glow from within. A flame creates a sense of place because everyone is drawn to a fire. A flame sheds light and warmth. Reference my “Hopes and Dreams” in my work example to get a sense of what this would look like. The four circles suggest unity and wholeness, or, the circle of life, or, the earth/universe.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract In a world where the amount of resources is constant and unchanging but where their use and exploitation is growing because of the rapid population growth, a rise in standards of living and the development of industrialization, the resource of water has become a critical issue in the foreign relations between different states. As a result of this many research scholars claim that, today, we are facing the beginning of the "Geopolitical era of water". The danger of conflict of water is especially severe in the Middle East which is characterized by the low level of precipitation and high temperatures. The Middle Eastern countries have been involved in a constant state of political tension and the gap between the growing number of inhabitants and the fixed supply of water and land has been a factor in contributing to this tension.
