  • Hydropolitics and Issue-Linkage Along the Orontes River Basin:… 105 Realised in the Context of the Political Rapprochement in the 2000S, Has Also Ended (Daoudy 2013)
    Int Environ Agreements (2020) 20:103–121 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10784-019-09462-7 ORIGINAL PAPER Hydropolitics and issue‑linkage along the Orontes River Basin: an analysis of the Lebanon–Syria and Syria–Turkey hydropolitical relations Ahmet Conker1 · Hussam Hussein2,3 Published online: 13 December 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract The Orontes River Basin is among the least researched transboundary water basins in the Middle East. The few studies on the Orontes have two main theoretical and empirical shortcomings. First, there is a lack of critical hydropolitics studies on this river. Second, those studies focus on either the Turkish–Syrian or Lebanese–Syria relations rather than analysing the case in a holistic way. Gathering both primary (international agreements, government documents, political statements and media outlets) and secondary sources, this paper seeks to answer how could Syria, as the basin hydro-hegemon, impose its control on the basin? This study argues that the lack of trilateral initiatives, which is also refected in academic studies, is primarily due to asymmetrical power dynamics. Accordingly, Syria played a dual-game by excluding each riparian, Turkey and Lebanon, and it dealt with the issue at the bilateral interaction. Syria has used its political infuence to maintain water control vis-à-vis Lebanon, while it has used non-cooperation with Turkey to exclude Tur- key from decision-making processes. The paper also argues that the historical background and the political context have strongly informed Syria’s water policy. Finally, given the recent regional political developments, the paper fnds that Syria’s power grip on the Orontes Basin slowly fades away because of the changes in the broader political context.

The period under examination is the late medieval period, from the 11th to the 14th centuries, encompassing the time when the region was under the control of various Islamic dynasties and the Crusaders. The archaeology of Le banon has been somewhat neglected over the years, despite its importance for our understanding of the region in the medieval period, mainly because of the civil war (1975-1990), which made excavations and surveys in the country impossible and led to the widespread looting of sites (Hakiman 1987; Seeden 1987; Seeden 1989; Fisk 1991 ; Hakiman 1991; Ward 1995; Hackmann 1998; Sader 2001.

    STVDll ŞI MATERIALE EARLY NEOTHERMAL SITES IN THE NEAR EAST AND ANATOLIA. A REVIEW OF MATERIAL, INCLUDING FIGURINES, AS A BACKGROUND TO THE NEOLITHIC OF TEMPERATE SOUTH EAST EUROPE by JOHN G. NANDRIS, M. A., Ph. D. (london). TWO PERIODS IN THE EARLY NEOTHERMAL. It becomes increasingly r.ecessary to give a summary of the significant events which took place in the Near East after the 9th millennium, as the excavated and published material increases. ThP. traits in the S.E. European neolithic which are commonly referred to Near Eastern sources make it necessary to do so, at least with reference to these traits and more especially to figurines. It is not intended to give a complete account of ali the better known characteristics of these Near Eastern cultures, but only to exa­ some of thc features which seem to acquire or retain importance in their pre­ mine SU!11ed subsequent diffusion and to comment on their implications. The publication of the figurine material is, here as elsewhere, only partial, not ..lways illustratcd, and sometimes, only general ideas of the quantity and associationt can be obtaincd. however we divide the period for convenience into two broad If divisions of c9000-7000 BC and c7000-5000 BC we can assign the material to various cultural groups within this and sometimes comment more precisely. This procedure may help to establish the perspective necessary to a true appreciation of the back­ ground to Eastcrn Europe which, lacking it, would be liable to an interpre­ tation altogether too parochial.

This site type is generally represented by building foundations and architectural ruins, stretches of town wall and other such masonry remains that have been conserved in isolation, as opposed to being integrated into later buildings.

Titus Michael Kennedy UNISA Student # 48120324 September 26, 2013 __________________ ___________________ SIGNATURE DATE iii ABSTRACT A Demographic Analysis of Late Bronze Age Canaan: Ancient Population Estimates and Insights through Archaeology by Titus Michael Kennedy This thesis is a demographic analysis of Late Bronze Age Canaan (ca. 1550/1500-1200/1150 BCE), undertaken through the use of archaeological and anthropological data. The purpose is to establish estimates for the settlement population, nomadic population, nuclear family size, house size, sex ratio, and life expectancy of the people of Canaan during the Late Bronze Age. Previous studies have not addressed these issues in detail, nor had data from the entire scope of Canaan been considered, nor had a precise methodology been developed or used for estimating specific settlement populations and nomadic populations for Canaan during the Late Bronze Age. Thus, additional aspects of the thesis include the development and use of a new methodology for estimating ancient populations and a database of all of the Late Bronze Age sites in Canaan—both archaeological and textual.

The Program Committee has once more done an incredible job, putting together a rich and vibrant program of sessions and posters, covering all the major regions of the Near East and wider Mediterranean from earliest times through the Islamic period. I am especially pleased that some of our newer sessions—for example, on the archaeology of the Kurdistan region of Iraq and on the archaeology of monasticism—continue to thrive, and I am also pleased that our program demonstrates more and more ASOR’s expanded geographical and cultural reach.

    Countering Illicit Traffic in Cultural Goods F. Desmarais (Ed.) Desmarais F. The Global Challenge of Protecting the World’s Heritage Cultural objects disappear every day, whether stolen from a museum or removed from an archaeological site, to embark on the well-beaten track of illicit antiquities. A track we have yet to map clearly. The need to understand that journey, to establish the routes, to identify the culprits, and to ultimately locate these sought-after objects, gave rise to the launch of the first International Observatory on Illicit Traffic in Cultural Goods by the International Council of Museums (ICOM). This transdisciplinary publication concludes the initial phase of the Observatory project, by providing articles signed by researchers and academics, museum and heritage professionals, archaeologists, legal advisors, curators, and journalists. It includes case studies on looting in specific countries, with the primary aim of eliciting the nature of the antiquities trade, the sources of the traffic, and solutions at hand.
