  • A STUDY of DIET in MESOPOTAMIA (C.3000
    A STUDY OF DIET IN MESOPOTAMIA (c.3000 - 600 BC) AND ASSOCIATED AGRICULTURAL TECHNIQUES AND METHODS OF FOOD PREPARATION by Elizabeth Rosemary Ellison Institute of Archaeology Thesis submitted to the University of London in the Faculty of Arts for the Degree of Doctor of.Philosophy May 1978 IBIBiN (LONDIN. UNIV. ABSTRACT This study has been undertaken in order to find out what were the main foodstuffs consumed by the people of Mesopotamia, whether they would have provided an adequate diet containing all the essential nutrients, and whether the foodstuffs could have been supplied locally. Agricultural techniques have been looked at to see how efficiently and in what quantities food crops were produced and the methods of food preparation have been examined in order to see in what form the food- stuffs were consumed. The modern climate and countryside are outlined and the evidence for the ancient climate and changes in the courses of the rivers are set against them. The sources of evidence used can be divided into three main categories. These are: direct evidence of food sources from excava- tions - that is, botanical and zoological remains indicating the existence of specific cereals, vegetables, meat-animals etc, at a given place and at a . given point of time; indirect evidence from excavations such as tools and artefacts which could have been used in the production and preparation of food, representations of plants, animals, food- preparation and consumption on cylinder seals, stone reliefs, pottery, inlay work, jewellery etc; and evidence from cuneiform tablets of the variety of foodstuffs known, and in many cases, of the amounts of foodstuffs eaten.

  • ​Roxette + Sommar + Ny Singel = Some Other Summer
    2016-06-24 09:00 CEST Roxette + sommar + ny singel = Some Other Summer I början av juni återerövrade Roxette topplistor och radiovågor över hela världen med sitt tionde album ”Good Karma” och förstasingeln ”It Just Happens”. Nu är det dags för nya singeln ”Some Other Summer” att ta över stafettpinnen. Den svenska superduon har skämt bort sina globala ”Roxer”-fans och miljontals radiolyssnare med förföriska och efterhängsna popmelodier ända sedan debuten med sommarsingeln ”Neverending Love” för ganska exakt 30 år sedan – och ”Some Other Summer” lär inte göra någon besviken. En lyssning och du har refrängen surrande i huvudet medan bilder av ljumma kvällar, varma stränder och lata dagar svischar förbi. En klassisk sommarsingel, helt enkelt. Men för Per Gessle är låten allt annat än ett resultat av klassiskt låtskrivande. Med ”Some Other Summer” fick han istället tänka om och tänka nytt. - Jag är skolad i 60-talspopen där en låt har olika beståndsdelar som vers, brygga och refräng - och där även ackorden skiljer sig åt i de olika delarna. Men idag är det vanligt att man använder samma ackord genom hela låten och istället bara varierar melodin. - Så för mig blev det en kul utmaning att se om jag kunde skriva en låt med samma fyra ackord om och om igen, utan att det blir tjatigt. Och resultatet blev ”Some Other Summer”, som dessutom satte tonen för hela albumet eftersom det var första låten vi spelade in. Ganska hyfsat för en nybörjare, ler Per Gessle. ”Some Other Summer” släpps också i fyra antal remixversioner av Alexander Brown, Patrick Jordan, Didrick & TRXD Albumet ”Good Karma” har sedan releasen den 3 juni legat Topp 10-placerat i åtta länder Warner Music International, a leading company in national and international repertoire operates through numerous international affiliates and licensees in more than 50 countries.
