There are infinite ways for things to be mobile, not only in the era of globalisation but since the beginning of time, as the earliest traces of long distance trading show. This book investigates the mobility of things from archaeological and anthropological perspectives. Material Objects are characterised by temporal continuity, embodying a prior existence with lingering effects. Yet the material continuity disguises the transformations they may undergo, which only become evident upon closer examination. Objects are in perpetual flux, leaving visible traces of their age, usage, and previous life. While travelling through time, objects also circulate through space, and their spatial mobility alters their meaning and use with respect to new cultural horizons. As objects transform through time and space, so does the value attributed to them. Mapping out itineraries of value in the realm of the material, allows us to grasp the nature of a given social formation through the shape and meaning taken on by its valued ‘stuff’. It also provides insights into the nature of materiality, through the value ascribed to objects at a given point in time and space. This edited volume brings together studies of material culture, materiality and value, with regard to the mobility of objects, with the aim of tracing the ways in which societies constitute their valued objects and how the realm of the material reflects upon society.

Geophysical Data in Archaeology A Guide to Good Practice Armin Schmidt (Author) Anyone who has tried to archive archaeological geophysics data will have wondered what might be the most comprehensive and practical approach. This question is addressed by this Guide’s extensively revised 2nd edition, which systematically explores what should be included in an Archive, illustrated with relevant examples. A conceptual framework is developed that allows assembling data and meta-data so that they can be deposited with an Archiving Body. This framework is also mapped onto typical database structures, including OASIS and the English Heritage Geophysics Database. Examples show step-by step how an Archive can be compiled for deposition so that readers will be able to enhance their own archiving practice. Geophysical data are sometimes the only remaining record of buried archaeological features when these are destroyed during commercial developments (e.g. road schemes). To preserve them in an Archive can therefore be essential. However, it is important that data are made available in formats that can still be read in years to come, accompanied by documentation that gives meaningful archaeological context. This Guide covers the creation of the necessary metadata and data documentation. There is no point preserving data if they cannot be used again; therefore this Guide is essential for anyone using geophysical data. Method and Theory

components of human behaviour. The interaction between these fundamental Method and Theory activities has been a subject of archaeological inference from the earliest days of the discipline, yet the pursuit of each has tended to encourage and entrench specialist study. This volume begins the process of integrating what have all too often become isolated archaeological and interpretative domains. In taking a more inclusive approach to the material, technological and social dynamics of early human subsistence we have returned to the earliest of those archaeological associations: that between stone tools and animal bones. In revealing the inter- dependence of their relationship, this volume takes what we hope will be a first step towards a revitalized understanding of the scope of past interactions between humans and the world around them. 9781902937595, £45.00, January 2013 HB, 164p, 99 b/w figs, 26 tables, McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research

Preserving Archaeological Remains in Situ Proceedings of the 4th International Conference David Gregory (Editor); Henning Matthiesen (Editor) The PARIS 4 conference, which took place at the National Museum of Denmark in 2011, attracted over 100 participants from 18 countries. Delegates presented and discussed the latest developments in the field of Preserving Archaeological Remains In Situ. These proceedings explore four major themes: rates of degradation in archaeological remains and the limits of acceptable change; the techniques and duration of monitoring on archaeological sites; the role of multinational standards when the sites and national legislations are so variable; reviewing the effectiveness of in situ preservation, after nearly two decades of research.

The Value of an Archaeological Open-Air Museum is in its Use Understanding Archaeological Open-Air Museums and their Visitors Roeland Paardekooper (Author) There are about 300 archaeological open-air museums in Europe. Their history goes from Romanticism up to modern-day tourism. With the majority dating to the past 30 years, they do more than simply present (re)constructed outdoor sceneries based on archaeology. They have an important role as educational facilities and many showcase archaeology in a variety of ways. Compared to other museum categories, archaeological open-air museums boast a wide variety of manifestations. This research assesses the value of archaeological open-air museums, their management and their visitors, and is the first to do so in such breadth and detail. After a literature study and general data collection among 199 of such museums in Europe, eight archaeological open-air museums from different countries were selected as case studies including both public and

privately funded examples.

From Primitives to Primates A History of Ethnographic and Primatological Analogies in the Study of Prehistory David Van Reybrouck (Author) Where do our images about early hominids come from? In this fascinating in- depth study, David Van Reybrouck demonstrates how input from ethnography Anthropology / Local & Family History and primatology has deeply influenced our visions about the past from the 19th century to this day – often far beyond the available evidence. Victorian scholars were keen to look at contemporary Australian and Tasmanian aboriginals to understand the enigmatic Neanderthal fossils. The belief that the contemporary world provides ‘living links’ still goes strong. Such primate models, Van Reybrouck argues, continue the highly problematic ‘comparative method’ of Victorian times. Overviewing two centuries of intellectual debate in fields as diverse as archaeology, ethnography and primatology, Van Reybrouck asks that the past be understood on its own terms, not as facile projections from the present.

Counting People A DIY Manual for Local and Family Historians John Moore (Author) Local and family historians are often afraid to use numerical data (Statistics) in their research and writing. Yet numbers are an essential part of much historical work, obviously in population history but also in local studies of agriculture, industry and social history. Counting People shows how amateur historians can use computers with appropriate programs to provide numerical illustrations of various historical topics as well as easing their researches. A final chapter covers research and publishing in local history. The Bibliography provides advice on local historical studies in England and Wales and a full list of sources for population history in England and Wales as well as guidance on the use of computers in Journal of Wetland Archaeology local studies.

Most exciting were rich cremation burials of the late Iron Age and early Roman periods, probably successive generations of a local family, whose rise to prominence coincides with the growth of the cult centre at Springhead nearby. The metal vessels include types new to Britain, the pottery stamps suggest the movement of continental potters to Kent, and one grave has the clearest evidence of furniture yet found from early Roman Britain. Medieval settlements of the late 11th–14th centuries mirror the renewed importance of Watling Street after the Norman conquest, and its eventual return to obscurity due to competition from the ferry from London to Gravesend. 9780904220681, £32.00, Available Now HB, 620p, 267 illus & 91 plates (mostly colour), OA Monograph Series 16, Oxford Archaeology

From Mesolithic to Motorway The Archaeology of the M1 (Junction 6a–10) Widening Scheme, Hertfordshire Andrew Simmonds (Editor); Paul Booth (Editor); Dan Stansbie (Editor); Valerie Diez (Editor) Excavation in advance of engineering works along the M1 from Junctions 6a to 10 (between Hemel Hempstead and Luton) revealed significant archaeological remains of wide-ranging date. Important evidence for late Mesolithic and early Neolithic activity, including pits, was found at Junction 9, while later prehistoric features were more widely distributed but less concentrated. Late Iron Age and Roman features were most common, with significant rural settlements at Junctions 8 and 9, and further evidence for trackways and enclosures elsewhere. Occupation was most intensive in the 1st–2nd centuries AD and on a reduced scale in the late Roman period. At Junction 8, however, an east-west trackway apparently survived as a landscape feature and in the 12th and 13th centuries was adjoined by a ditched enclosure containing structures belonging to a substantial farmstead.

London Gateway Iron Age and Roman salt making in the Thames Estuary, Excavation at Stanford Wharf Nature Reserve, Essex Edward Biddulph (Editor); Elizabeth Stafford (Editor); Stuart Foreman (Editor); Dan Stansbie (Editor) Excavation by Oxford Archaeology in 2009 during construction of the Stanford Wharf Nature Reserve, funded and supported by the developer, DP World London Gateway, uncovered remarkable evidence for Iron Age and Roman-period salt making and associated activities. Structures included a probable boathouse, unique in Roman Britain. The excavations shed new and important light on evolving methods of salt production, which reflect wider changes in economy and society in the Thames Estuary between c. 400 BC and AD 400. Salt had a particular economic importance in the ancient world as a food preservative – changing scale and methods of production provide an essential background for understanding British Archaeology – Multi-Period Excavations – Multi-Period British Archaeology processes such as urbanisation, civilian trade and military supply.

Until recently the idea that Atlantic Europe was a wholly pre-Indo-European world throughout the Bronze Age remained plausible. Rapidly expanding evidence for the later prehistory and the pre-Roman languages of the West increasingly exclude that possibility. It is therefore time to refocus on a narrowing list of ‘suspects’ as possible archaeological 9781842175293, £40.00, proxies for the arrival of this great language family and emergence of January 2013 its Celtic branch.

Celtic from the West 2 continues the series launched with Celtic from the West: Alternative Perspectives from Archaeology, Genetics, Language and Literature (2010; 2012) in exploring the new idea that the Celtic languages emerged in the Atlantic Zone during the Bronze Age. This Celtic Atlantic hypothesis represents a major departure from the long-established, but increasingly problematical scenario in which the Ancient Celtic languages and peoples called Keltoi (Celts) are closely bound up with the archaeology of the Hallstatt and La Tène cultures of Iron Age west-central Europe.

12 The First Farmers of Central Europe Diversity in LBK Lifeways Alasdair Whittle (Editor); Penny Bickle (Editor) From about 5500 cal BC to soon after 5000 cal BC, the lifeways of the first farmers of central Europe, the LBK (Linearbandkeramik or Linienbandkeramik), Prehistory – Europe are seen in distinctive practices of longhouse use, settlement forms and location, landscape choice, subsistence, material culture and mortuary rites. Within the five or more centuries of LBK existence a dynamic sequence of changes can be seen. This major study takes a large regional sample, from northern Hungary westwards along the Danube to Alsace in the upper Rhine valley and addresses the lifeways of developed and late LBK people through aspects of diet, lifetime mobility, health and physical condition and the presentation of bodies in mortuary ritual using a combination of isotopic, osteological and archaeological analysis coupled with a detailed programme of radiocarbon dating.

Monuments on the Horizon The formation of the barrow landscape throughout the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC Quentin Bourgeois (Author) Barrows, as burial markers, are ubiquitous throughout North-Western Europe. In some regions dense concentrations of monuments form peculiar configurations such as long alignments while in others they are spread out extensively, dotting vast areas with hundreds of mounds. These vast barrow landscapes came about through thousands of years of additions by several successive prehistoric and historic communities. Yet little is known about how these landscapes developed and came about. That is what this research set out to do. By unravelling the histories of specific barrow landscapes in the Low Countries, several distinct activity phases of intense barrow construction could be recognised. This publication is part of the Ancestral Mounds Research Project of the University of Leiden.

Background to Beakers Inquiries into the Regional Cultural Background to the Bell Beaker Complex Harry Fokkens (Editor); Franco Nicolis (Editor) Background to Beakers is the result of an inspiring session at the yearly conference of European Association of Archaeologists in The Hague in September 2010. The conference brought together thirteen speakers on the subject Beakers in Transition. Together we explored the background to the Bell beaker complex in different regions, departing from the idea that migration is not the comprehensive solution to the adoption of bell Beakers. Therefore we asked the participants to discuss how in their region Beakers were incorporated in existing cultural complexes, as one of the manners to understand the processes of innovation that were undoubtedly part of the Beaker complex. This volume demonstrates how scholars in Scandinavia, the Low Countries, Poland, Switzerland, France, Morocco even, struggle with the same problems, but have different solutions everywhere.

Proceedings from the Munro International Seminar The Lake Dwellings of Europe 22nd and 23rd October 2010, University of Edinburgh Magdalena S. Midgley (Editor); Jeff Sanders (Editor) In 1885 Dr. Robert Munro undertook a review of all lacustrian research in Europe, travelling widely to study collections and visit sites. The results of this work formed the basis for the prestigious Rhind Lectures at the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 1888. These were then published as The Lake-Dwellings of Europe, a landmark publication for archaeology and one that cemented Munro’s archaeological reputation. The collected papers explore the historical context of Munro’s work, as well as introducing current research from across Europe. The book will appeal to both the professional and the interested amateur, of which Munro himself represented such an exciting synthesis.

Pterosaurs Flying Contemporaries of the Dinosaurs Andre J Veldmeijer (Author); Mark Witton (Author); Ilja Nieuwland (Author) Pterosaurs or flying reptiles were the first vertebrates to evolve flight. These distant relatives of modern reptiles and dinosaurs lived from the Late Triassic (over 200 million years ago) to the end of the Cretaceous (about 65 million years ago) a span of some 135 million years. After a short introduction to palaeontology as a science and its history related to pterosaurs, it explains what pterosaurs were, when and where they lived, and what they looked like. Topics such as disease, injury and reproduction are also discussed. They show how diverse pterosaurs were, from small insectivorous animals with a wingspan of nearly 40 centimetres to the biggest flying animals ever to take to the air, with wingspans of over 10 metres and with a way of life comparable to modern-day storks. The text is illustrated with many full colour photographs and beautiful palaeo-art prepared by experts in the field.

Beyond Barrows Current research on the structuration and perception of the Prehistoric Landscape through Monuments David R Fontijn (Editor); Karsten Wentink (Editor); Sasja van der Vaart (Editor); Arjan J. Louwen (Editor) Europe is dotted with tens of thousands of prehistoric barrows. In spite of their ubiquity, little is known on the role they had in pre- and protohistoric landscapes. In 2010, an international group of archaeologists came together at the conference of the European Association of Archaeologists in The Hague to discuss and review current research on this topic. This book presents the proceedings of that session. The focus is on the prehistory of Scandinavia and the Low Countries, but also includes an excursion to huge prehistoric mounds in the southeast of North America. The book contains an important contribution by the well-known Swedish archaeologist Tore Artelius, his last article, written Prehistory – Europe Prehistory briefly before his death. This book is dedicated to his memory.

His death must have been a significant event in the life of local communities, for he received an extraordinary funeral, which ended with the construction of an impressive barrow. Based on the meticulous excavation and a range of specialist and comprehensive studies of finds, a prehistoric burial ritual now can be brought to life in surprising detail. An Iron Age community used extraordinary objects that find their closest counterpart in the elite graves of the Hallstatt culture in Central Europe. This book will discuss how lavishly decorated items were dismantled and taken apart to be connected with the body of the deceased, all to be destroyed by fire. In what appears to be a meaningful pars pro toto ritual, the remains of his body, the pyre, and the objects were searched through and moved about, with various elements being manipulated, intentionally broken, and interred or removed. In essence, a person and a place were transformed through destruction. The book shows how the mourners carefully, almost lovingly covered the funeral remains with a barrow. Attention is also given to another remarkable monument, long mound 6, located immediately adjacent to mound 7. Excavations show how mound 7 was part of an age-old ritual heath landscape that was entirely restructured during the Early Iron Age, when it became the setting for the building of no less than three huge Hallstatt C barrows. Thousands of years later, during the Late Middle Ages, this landscape underwent a complete transformation of meaning when the prehistoric barrows became the scenery for a macabre display of the cadavers of executed criminals.

The Prehistory of the Paximadi Peninsula, Euboea T. Cullen (Author); L. E. Talalay (Author); W. R. Ferrand (Author); D. R. Keller (Author) The results of two related fieldwork projects are presented: a brief salvage excavation at Plakari (near the modern town of Karystos) and a survey of prehistoric sites on the Paximadi peninsula (the western arm of the Karystos bay), both located in southern Euboea. These ventures were part of the larger mission of the Southern Euboea Exploration Project (SEEP), a multidisciplinary research program dedicated to the study of the Karystian past and which maintained a presence in southern Euboea for over 25 years. These projects have found that, contrary to what archaeologists once believed, southern Euboea was hardly an uninhabited and isolated region in prehistory. The inhabitants actively participated in the expanded maritime and social landscape that characterised the later Neolithic and Early Bronze Age in the Aegean, taking part in exchange networks of stone, ceramics, marble figurines and vessels, and possibly agricultural goods and metalwork.

Aphrodite’s Kephali An Early Minoan I Defensive Site in Eastern Crete Philip P. Betancourt (Author) The small site of Aphrodite’s Kephali, among several other Minoan and later sites, took advantage of the valley topography in the Isthmus of Ierapetra in eastern Crete by establishing themselves along the nearby hills, resulting in easy access to the natural trade route between the Aegean and the Libyan Seas. A discussion of the architecture, artifacts, and ecofacts are presented from the excavation of this Early Minoan I watchtower. The conclusions challenge some of the commonly held views about Crete in the third millennium B.C. It is suggested that rather than being a precursor to a socially complex state that would arise later, early polities involving several communities probably already existed in the isthmus during the EM I period. Social and economic differentiation existed on a regional, not just a local level, and

What was similar and what was different in their social and political, economic and technological, and religious and mortuary practices and behaviours, and in the natural settings and choices of places for settlements? Why, and how, did convergences and divergences come about? These are among the important questions that a leading group of experts on the two islands addressed at Parallel Lives, a pioneering conference in Nicosia organised by the British School at Athens, the University of Crete and the University of Cyprus, to compare and discuss the islands’ cultural trajectories diachronically from c. 3000 BC through their Bronze Ages and down to their loss of independence in 300 BC for Cyprus and 67 BC for Crete.

Cultural landscapes, social networks and historical trajectories A data-rich synthesis of Early Bronze Age networks (c. 2200–1700 BC) in Abruzzo and Lazio (Central Italy) Erik van Rossenberg (Author) It’s about time that Central Italy claims its place in Bronze Age studies. This study wants to fill this gap and make a crossover between landscape and network approaches in archaeology. It starts from a methodological consideration of archaeological synthesis in Bronze Age studies. Approaching landscapes as networks of places, this study advocates a data-rich form of synthesis of Bronze Age trajectories, one that avoids a selective focus on particular places. This data- rich synthesis of the Early Bronze Age in Central Italy takes all types of place making up cultural landscapes and social networks into account, in this case metalwork deposition, burial, cave use and settlement patterns.

Well Built Mycenae Fascicule 34.1 Technical Reports. The Results of Neutron Activation Analysis of Mycenaean Pottery E B French (Author); J.E. Tomlinson (Author) Since 1890 when Sir Flinders Petrie first realised the importance of the Aegean pottery he had found in Egypt further discoveries of these wares have been noted with more than superficial interest. Early studies, however, right up to the mid 20th century, had to be based on stylistic, and thus often subjective, criteria. It is only more recently with the development of a range of scientific techniques that it has become possible to make serious attempts to ascertain the exact sources of this imported pottery. This fascicule of the Well Built Mycenae series presents for the first time the raw data as well as the statistical analyses based on it and assesses the impact of the various methods on the archaeological value of the research. Includes a DVD with accompanying material for 34.1 and all previous fascicules.

Tostevin (Author) There is substantial debate over the extent to which the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition and the dispersal of anatomically modern humans from Africa into Eurasia at the end of the Pleistocene were the result of the same process, related processes, or unrelated but coincident processes. The current debate shows a gap in archaeological method and theory for understanding how different cultural transmission processes create patterning in the material culture of foragers at the resolution of Paleolithic palimpsests. This research project attempts to bridge this gap with a middle-range theory connecting cultural transmission and dual inheritance theory with the archaeological study of flintknappers’ flake-by-flake choices in the production of lithic assemblages.

V. G. Betts (Author); D. Cropper (Author); L. Martin (Author); C. McCartney (Author) The Jordanian Badia is an arid region that has been largely protected from modern development by its extreme climate and has preserved a remarkably rich record Ancient Near East of its prehistoric past. This is the second of two volumes to document extensive surveys and excavations in the region from Al-Azraq to the Iraqi border over the period 1979–1996. Broadly, it covers the Late Neolithic and Chalcolithic of the eastern badia. Over time, an outline prehistory of the region has emerged. Late Epipaleolithic campsites have been found in the north-west of the harra in the foothills of Jebel Druze, while the central basalt region saw a floruit of activity in the late Aceramic Neolithic, when it was used extensively for hunting. This volume covers the following period, which witnessed a further spread of campsites and short-term occupation out around the edges of the harra and across the hamad as far as the lands bordering the Euphrates to the north and east. This period was marked by the first appearance of sheep and goat as one element of the steppic economy alongside traditional practices of hunting and foraging. The concluding chapter discusses these changes and proposes models for the introduction of domesticated animals into the steppe as a precursor to a full nomadic pastoral economy.

The Cylinder was inscribed in Babylonian cuneiform on the orders of the Persian King Cyrus the Great after he captured Babylon in 539BC. It is often referred to as the first bill of human rights as it appears to permit freedom of worship throughout the Persian Empire and to allow deported people to return to their homelands. This catalogue is being published in conjunction with the first ever tour of the object to the United States, along with sixteen other objects from the British Museum’s collection. This book discusses how these objects demonstrate the innovations initiated by Persian rule in the Ancient Near East and offers a new authoritative translation of the Cyrus Cylinder by Irving Finkel. Two fragments of a cuneiform tablet show how the Cyrus Cylinder was most probably a proclamation and not just a foundation deposit.

Heaven on Earth Temples, Ritual, and Cosmic Symbolism in the Ancient World Deena Ragavan (Editor) The volume is the result of the eighth Annual University of Chicago Oriental Institute Seminar, held on March 2–3, 2012. Seventeen speakers, from both the US and abroad, examined the interconnections between temples, ritual, and cosmology from a variety of regional specializations and theoretical perspectives. The seminar revisited a classic topic, one with a long history among scholars of the ancient world: the cosmic symbolism of sacred architecture. Archaeologists, art historians, and philologists working not only in the ancient Near East, but also Mesoamerica, Greece, South Asia, and China, re-evaluated the significance of this topic across the ancient world. 19 chapters are divided into seven parts: Part I: Architecture and Cosmology; Part II: Built Space and Natural Forms; Part III: Myth and Movement; Part IV: Sacred Space and Ritual Practice; Part V: Architecture, Power, and the State; Part VI: Images of Ritual ; Part VII: Responses 9781885923967, £18.00, April 2013, PB, 460p, 189 illus., Oriental Institute Seminars 9, Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago

Early Megiddo on the East Slope (The “Megiddo Stages”) A Report on the Early Occupation of the East Slope of Megiddo. Result of the Oriental Institute’s Excavations, 1925–1933 Eliot Braun (Author); Sariel Shalev (Author); David Ilan (Author); Ofer Marder (Author) This report completes prior publications by Clarence S.

Engberg (1938) on the earliest utilization and occupation of the slope at the southeast base of the high mound of Megiddo (Tell el-Mutesellim). That area, labeled by the excavators the “East Slope,” and identified by them in their notations as “ES,” was excavated by the Oriental Institute between the years 1925, when work commenced, and 1933, when the last of it was apparently cleared down to bedrock. While the primary focus of this report is on Square U16 (an area of 25 × 25 m), where most of the early remains (i.e., of the Early Bronze Age and earlier) excluding tombs were encountered, this work also deals Ancient Near East Ancient Near with the later remains within that same, limited precinct.

Ten seasons of excavation at Tel Anafa (at the foot of the Golan Heights in the Upper Ancient Egypt Galilee of modern Israel) revealed the remains of a rich and remarkably well-preserved Hellenistic settlement showing great cultural and ethnic diversity. The richness of the finds, coupled with the clear chronological context and careful recording techniques employed by the excavators, have made Tel Anafa extremely valuable to all those interested in the Hellenistic world, providing a rare opportunity to study Greek culture in direct contact with Phoenician. Indeed, for many bodies of Hellenistic material, Tel Anafa serves as a typological and chronological “type site,” presenting a broader and more closely dated range of material than ever before possible. This volume covers the glass from the excavation, including many expensive glass drinking vessels, as well as the lamps, metal objects and stone tools and vessels. 9780974187372, £30.00, Available Now HB, 482p, more than 10 plates and figures, one colour plate, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Living with the Dead Ancestor Worship and Mortuary Ritual in Ancient Egypt Nicola Harrington (Author) Living with the Dead presents a detailed analysis of ancestor worship in Egypt, using a diverse range of material, both archaeological and anthropological, to examine the relationship between the living and the dead. Iconography and terminology associated with the deceased reveal indistinct differences between the blessedness and malevolence and that the potent spirit of the dead required constant propitiation in the form of worship and offerings. A range of evidence is presented for mortuary cults that were in operation throughout Egyptian history and for the various places, such as the house, shrines, chapels and tomb doorways, where the living could interact with the dead. This significant study furthers our understanding of the complex relationship the ancient Egyptians had with death and with their ancestors; both recently departed and those in the distant past.

Leatherwork from Qasr Ibrim (Egypt). Part I Footwear from the Ottoman Period Andre J Veldmeijer (Author) Throughout its long history, stretching from the 25th Dynasty (c. 752–656 BC) to the Ottoman Period (c. 1500–1811 AD), Qasr Ibrim was one of the most important settlements in Egyptian Nubia. The site has produced an unprecedented wealth of material and due to the – even for Egypt – extraordinary preservation circumstances, includes objects that are made of perishable organic materials, such as wood, leather, and flax. The present volume focuses on one of these groups: footwear that is made from leather and dated to the Ottoman Period. The footwear, recovered during the years that the Egypt Exploration Society worked at the site, is described in detail, including a pictorial record consisting of photographs and drawings (both technical and artist’s impressions). This is the first time that Ottoman footwear from Egypt (and outside of Egypt) has been analyzed in detail.

Journey to the West The world of the Old Kingdom tombs Miroslav Bárta (Author) This book is intended as a commented summary of some of the major trends and most important features that can be encountered when analysing ancient Egyptian society of the Old Kingdom. The goal for writing this book was to outline general trends in the history of the non-royal tomb development of the period. The reason is rather simple and straightforward: ancient Egyptians considered the tomb to be their afterlife residence for eternity. In the afterlife they replicated the life they experienced during the lifetime. Thus the tomb architecture, decoration, inscriptions and equipment paradoxically represent a major tool for our understanding of the everyday life of the ancient Egyptians and enable a better comprehension of the development and dynamics of the Old Kingdom.

Abusir and Saqqara in the Year 2010 2 volume set Filip Coppens (Author); Jaromir Krejci (Editor); Miroslav Bárta (Editor) The Czech Institute of Egyptology of the Charles University in Prague has since the start of the third millennium established the tradition of organising on a regular basis a platform for scholars, active in the pyramid fields and the cemeteries of the Abusir-Saqqara-Dahshur region, to meet, exchange information and establish further cooperation. The present two part volume, containing 51 contributions in total, is the result of the already third “Abusir and Saqqara” conference held in late May and early June 2010. The focus of the majority of the articles is on these cemeteries of the Memphite region at the time of the Old Kingdom, but not a single period is left untouched. A number of articles also move outside the core region, studying material and developments elsewhere in Egypt, but always against the background of the Memphite necropolis. Ancient Egypt

Although his tomb had been robbed, a number of important and interesting pieces from his burial equipment, including a seal of the necropolis and a faience menit with the name of Ahmose II, have been found in his burial chamber. In a separate shaft, large embalmer’s cache has been found that contained more than three hundred large storage vessels and a number of smaller receptacles of different kind.

New Epigrams of Palladas A Fragmentary Papyrus Codex (P.CtYBR inv. 4000 Kevin Wilkinson (Author) P.CtYBR inv. 4000, owned by Yale University’s Beinecke Library, is a fragmentary papyrus codex that comprises parts of six bifolia (24 pages) and contains Greek elegiac epigrams. In spite of the fact that there is no explicit declaration of authorship in the remaining portions of the codex, all signs point to a single author that can be identified with confidence as Palladas of Alexandria, who is known from approximately 150 epigrams preserved in the Greek Anthology. Palladas has a distinctive poetic voice - highly personal and topical, witha tendency towards bitterly pessimistic observation on the world around him. Among other points of interest, there is a satire of the victory titles claimed by the emperors Diocletian and Galerius, a lament on the destruction of Alexandria, a curious mention of the sufferings of the Egyptian goddess Triphis, and lampoons of men from Hermopolis.

During this time, approaches have developed from the systematic collection of artefacts to include the routine deployment of WorldClassical – Ancient Greece various geophysical and remote sensing techniques. The ability of archaeologists to reveal the topography of buried urban sites without excavation has now been demonstrated through a wide range of projects across the ancient world. Archaeological Survey and the City reviews the results of such projects and in particular discusses the ways in which the subject might develop in the future, with an emphasis on the integration of different strands of evidence and issues of archaeological interpretation rather than on the technicalities of particular methodologies.

A Culture of Translation British and Irish Scholarship in the Gennadius Library (1740–1840) Lynda Mulvin (Editor) This volume of essays focuses principally on the collection of books of British and Irish antiquarian scholars held in the Gennadius Library. Collectively, the essays are the product of two thematically-linked conferences; the major premise explored in the paper sessions of those conferences, and in this volume, concerns the work of some of the most pioneering British and Irish 18– and early 19–century antiquarians, artists, and architects who voyaged into the Mediterranean. The publication of their findings in architectural treatises, travelogues and illustrated books came, in turn, to inform international movements of art and architecture; specifically, the Neoclassical and Greek Revival styles. Collectively, these books capture the allure of the broader Mediterranean world for scholars of antiquity ever expanding beyond the well-traveled boundaries enjoyed by Grand Tourists exploring issues such as topography, history, cultural mores, dress and, of course, art and architecture.

Late Classical Pottery from Ancient Corinth Drain 1971–1 in the Forum Southwest Ian MacPhee (Author); Elizabeth G. Pemberton (Author) In 1971, in the southwestern area of the Roman Forum of Corinth, a round- bottomed drainage channel was discovered filled with the largest deposit of pottery of the 4th century ever found in the city, as well as some coins, terracotta figurines, and metal and stone objects. This volume publishes the pottery and metal and stone objects, and includes a re-examination of the coins by Orestes Zervos. Some of the cooking ware has been subjected to neutron activation analysis, and a statistical analysis of all recovered pottery has been completed. The contents of Drain 1971–1 are important for the function of the Classical buildings in this part of Corinth, especially Buildings I and II, and for the chronology of the renovation program that included the construction of the South Stoa, which was probably not built before the last decade of the 4th century.

Magnus Pius Sextus Pompeius and the Transformation of the Roman Republic Kathryn Welch (Author) Tacitus suggested that resistance to the onset of the Roman Principate was negligible, that the aristocracy of Rome ‘rushed head-long into slavery’. He and a long tradition of scholarship, ancient and modern, have maintained this position mostly by savagely compressing the history of the period between 42 and 27BC and especially by characterising Sextus Pompeius, the younger son of Pompey the Great, as an adventurer with no legitimate cause. Welch attempts to reverse this tradition through a study of the opposition to Julius Caesar and his political heirs from 49 to 27BC. Sextus Pompeius provides the key; his use of the navy offers the evidence; his supporters, especially L. Scribonius Libo, provide the link backwards to Cn. Pompeius Magnus and forward to the future Princeps. By paying full attention

The Historical Topography of the Ancient City A Restudy of John Ward-Perkins’s Survey Roberta Cascina (Editor); Helga Di Giuseppe (Editor); Helen Patterson (Editor) During the nineteenth century, antiquarians such as William Gell and George Dennis visited the ancient city of Veii, some 15 km north of Rome, and noted the WorldClassical – Ancient Rome rapid destruction of its archaeology.

Vesuvian Sigillata at Pompeii Jaye McKenzie-Clark (Author) The destruction of Pompeii in AD79 provides a unique opportunity to explore the use of everyday items. It allows us to identify the source and variety of products available within the city, and enables us to track changes in the consumption of goods over time. In this volume, Jaye McKenzie-Clark presents the far-reaching results of her examination of the red slip tableware within three regions of the city. It pinpoints the initial supply and use of Vesuvian Sigillata, and investigates factors that may have led to the popularity of this style of pottery. The investigation maps the on-going manufacture of these ceramics and identifies changes in production and consumption up to the time of the eruption. Examination of the distribution within contexts of different social use also reveals distinct patterns of consumer demands and consumption within Pompeian society. Such research helps us to explore and understand the use of goods within the city of Pompeii and throughout the Roman world.

Rome, Portus and the Mediterranean Simon Keay (Editor) One of the greatest consequences of Rome’s expansion across the Mediterranean world in the course of the Republic and the earliest years of the Empire was an exponential growth in the population and extent of the city itself. The emperors of the first three centuries ad faced major strategic challenges in ensuring a regular annual supply of food to the city, as well as other goods. This volume brings together various contributions, to assess how far Portus, as the maritime port of Imperial Rome from the mid-first century ad, was the principal conduit for supplying Rome and the extent to which the commercial links that fed Portus were part of a single overarching network or a series of interlinked networks that extended across the Mediterranean. The volume begins with a detailed reconsideration of Portus and its relationship to Ostia and Rome, continuing with studies that deal with a range of broader issues concerning the relationship of Mediterranean ports to Rome, Portus and Ostia before returning to more general considerations of connectivity, networks, coastal geo-archaeology and computational methods. 9780904152654, £90.00, February 2013, HB, 454p, 158 illus, 14 colour plates, Archaeological Monographs of the British School at Rome 21, British School at Rome 27 Domus The Iron Age Augustana and Roman Archäologische und landscape of bauhistorische Doku- Marston Vale, mentationsarbeiten auf dem Palatin in Rom Bedfordshire Natascha Sojc (Author) Investigations along the A421 Improvements, M1 Junction 13 to Bedford Andrew Simmonds(Author) Ken Welsh (Author) This book is the result of an interdisciplinary research A programme of improvements to the A421 south-west into the foundations, brickwork, brickstamps, of Bedford afforded Oxford Archaeology an opportunity architecture, waterworks and room decoration of to investigate early settlement along a corridor of Domus Augustana, one of the central tracts of the the clay landscape of Marston Vale.

His vengeance will release his sister Electra from oppression and restore Orestes to his home and kingdom. This is the only episode from Greek legend treated in surviving plays by all three of the great Athenian tragedians of the fifth century B.C. — Aeschylus in his Libation-bearers (part of the Oresteia trilogy), Sophocles and Euripides each in plays named Electra. The three plays provide a unique record of development and divergence in the content and style of Athenian tragic drama. In Euripides’ hands the story becomes a tragedy of all too human emotions and illusions. This edition of Euripides’ play was first published in 1988.

Augustine: De Civitate Dei X P. G. Walsh (Author) This edition of St Augustine’s City of God is the only one in English to provide a text and translation as well as a detailed commentary of this most influential document in the history of western Christianity. In these books, written in the aftermath of the sack of Rome in AD 410 by the Goths, Augustine replies to the pagans, who attributed the fall of Rome to the Christian religion and its prohibition of the worship of the pagan gods. Following on from Book IX, this book discusses the issue of demons and their role in Platonism as being partly identical with the lesser gods. Having previously argued that in order to achieve the blessed life, we must worship one true God alone, Augustine’s main concern in this volume is to deliver his message that the sole path to blessedness after death is acknowledgement of the Incarnation and Christ as Mediator.

An Obscure Portrait Imaging Women’s Reality in Byzantine Art Rudolf Meyer (Author) Recent discussions on Byzantine art have been dominated by the question of representing realia . Among these, however, the way works of art reflect the daily life of women have not received much space or attention. The present book studies various images representing women’s status and her performative tasks, and their significance from the fourth century to the fall of the Empire, through analysis of archaeological evidence and works of art. It addresses a wide range of questions, some pertaining both to pictorial traditions and to their late antique antecedents, others peculiar to changing and evolving Byzantine culture and mentality. The book aims to lift a veil from known and less known works of art and to present the rarely described picture of the daily life of women in Byzantine art over a very wide chronological span of time, in an effort to expand our knowledge of women in Byzantium and their realia. 9781904597322, £150.00, Available Now HB, 575p, 258 illus., Pindar Press

Colours, Symbols, Worship The Mission of the Byzantine Artist George Galavaris (Author) Trained as an archaeologist and art historian and being a practising painter, Professor Galavaris has been able to relate diverse disciplines in his work, as shown by the wide range of his numerous publications. He moves from the early history of the eucharistic bread in the Orthodox Church, the dramatic impact of the Liturgy on illuminated Byzantine manuscripts, to the role of the icon in: the life of the Church, the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke and the European painting of the 20th century. He is a leading authority on the study of the relationship between worship, Liturgy and art. Whether it is the cult of the Byzantine Emperor or the Eucharistic Liturgy, manifested in numismatics, illuminated manuscripts, icons, church lights (candles and oil lamps) – all witnesses of the creative forces of the Byzantine artist - Galavaris’ interests are symbols, forms and their meaning. He investigates their contribution Late Antiquity & Byzantium Late to worship, to the visual shaping of the Liturgy and how they reveal the freedom and the mission of the artist in realizing the Unseen in everyday life. 9781899828685, £150.00,9789491431074, Available £42, Now August 2012 HB,HB, 576p, 475p, 379 Groningen illus., Pindar Archaeological Press Studies 19, Barkhuis 30 The Principles of Arab Navigation William Facey (Editor); Anthony R.

Studies in the Islamic Arts of the Book Robert Hillenbrand (Author) The studies collected in this volume, some of them rather difficult to access, date mostly from the last fifteen years and focus primarily on Persian book painting of the 14th to the early 16th centuries. In this period, Iran dominated the art of book painting in the Islamic world. Two major leitmotifs are explored in this selection of essays. One is provided by the constantly varying interpretations of the Shahnama (The Book of Kings), the Persian national epic, and especially the tendency of painters to interpret this familiar text in terms of contemporary politics. The other is the interplay of text and image, which highlights the tendency of painters to strike out on their own and to leave the literal text progressively further behind while they develop plots and sub-plots of their own. These enquiries are set within the context of a concerted effort to explore in detail how Persian painters achieved their most spectacular visual effects.

Libertinism in Medieval Muslim Society and Literature Zoltan Szombathy (Author) This book is about an aspect of medieval Arabic culture and literature known in Arabic as mujūn (roughly ‘libertinism, licentiousness, frivolity, indecency, profligacy, shamelessness, impertinence’, etc.), a concept that students of medieval Arabic texts may find rather hard to define but which is a recurrent term and a widespread phenomenon in medieval Arabic literature, and probably common in real life. The social implications and the background ofmujūn are focussed on in an attempt to learn what the popularity of mujūn during a specific period of the medieval Middle East can tell us about the society and the culture that produced such works. It is a study of the society in which such literature flourished, of the values and norms of that society, and of the mājin (the man who does or writes mājin) rather than of mujūn in itself. The author uses many excepts from primary source texts to explore the nature, concepts and content of mujÙn. It provides a critical inventory of the varied motifs of mujūn in literature so as to define this elusive term by way of an accumulation of concrete examples.

Built in a number of stages during the late 8th and early 9th centuries, it is one of a small number of churches in England surviving above ground from that relatively remote period and is one of the most complete – and is still in use. Its layout and general appearance are strikingly different from others in the region and its unique features, complexity of structure and striking variety of its building materials have been explained by the suggestion that it is Roman in origin rather than early medieval.

Hook (Author); Marion Archibald (Author) This volume is dedicated to the British Museum’s collection of early Anglo-Saxon gold coinage as well as the Anglo-Saxon and Continental silver coinage of the North Sea area, dating from the early seventh to the mid-eighth centuries. This was the coinage which circulated during the age of Bede, the Lindisfarne Gospels and Sutton Hoo, and which is widely celebrated for its historical significance and artistic accomplishment. Both these features are well illustrated in this volume by more than 850 coins, which together form one of the largest, oldest and most representative collections of this complex coinage. The last catalogue of this part of the British Museum’s collection was published in 1887 and since then the collection has more than tripled in size.

This Medieval / Post Medieval study provides a synthesis of Hedingham Ware production and explores its distribution within East Anglia. A gazetteer of the fourteen known production sites is provided, and the pottery is used to create a typology of fabric types, vessel forms and decoration for both fine and coarse wares. The industry appears to have evolved from the early medieval tradition, although it has similarities with Late Saxon Thetford-type ware. The coarsewares are most similar to those produced near Colchester and show some similarities to coarsewares produced in Suffolk. The Hedingham industry did not die out in the 14th century but became subsumed into the sandy orange ware tradition and lost its identity as Hedingham Ware.

The Coronation Chair and the Stone of Scone Warwick Rodwell (Author) Constructed in 1297−1300 for King Edward I, the Coronation Chair ranks amongst the most remarkable and precious treasures to have survived from the Middle Ages. It incorporated in its seat a block of sandstone, which the king seized at Scone, following his victory over the Scots in 1296. For centuries, Scottish kings had been inaugurated on this symbolic ‘Stone of Scone’, to which a copious mythology had also become attached. Edward I presented the Chair, as a holy relic, to the Shrine of St Edward the Confessor in Westminster Abbey, and most English monarchs since the fourteenth century have been crowned in it, the last being HM Queen Elizabeth II, in 1953. The Chair and the Stone have had eventful histories: in addition to physical alterations, they suffered abuse in the eighteenth century, suffragettes attached a bomb to them in 1914, they were hidden underground during the Second World War, and both were damaged by the gang that sacrilegiously broke into Westminster Abbey and stole the Stone in 1950. It was recovered and restored to the Chair, but since 1996 the Stone has been exhibited on loan in Edinburgh Castle. Now somewhat battered through age, the Chair was once highly ornate, being embellished with gilding, painting and coloured glass. Yet, despite its profound historical significance, until now it has never been the subject of detailed archaeological recording. Moreover, the remaining fragile decoration was in need of urgent conservation, which was carried out in 2010−12, accompanied by the first holistic study of the Chair and Stone. In 2013 the Chair was redisplayed to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of the Coronation of HM The Queen. The latest investigations have revealed and documented the complex history of the Chair: it has been modified on several occasions, and the Stone has been reshaped and much altered since it left Scone. This volume assembles, for the first time, the complementary evidence derived from history, archaeology and conservation, and presents a factual account of the Coronation Chair and the Stone of Scone, not as separate artefacts, but as the entity that they have been for seven centuries. Their combined significance to the British Monarchy and State – and to the history and archaeology of the English and Scottish nations – is greater than the sum of their parts.

The results are brought together to provide a new and detailed view of the medieval peasant house, resolving the contradiction between the archaeological and architectural evidence, and illustrating how its social organisation developed in the period before we have extensive documentary evidence for the use of space within the house.

In 1990 Seahawk Deep Ocean Technology of Tampa commenced the world’s first Underwater & Maritime Archaeology archaeological excavation of a deep-sea shipwreck south of the Tortugas Islands in the Straits of Florida. From a depth of 405 meters, 16,903 artifacts were recovered using a Remotely-Operated Vehicle. The Buen Jesús y Nuestra Señora del Rosario was a small Portuguese-built and Spanish-operated merchant vessel from the 1622 Tierra Firme fleet returning to Seville from Venezuela’s Pearl Coast when a hurricane struck. Oceans Odyssey 3 introduces the shipwreck and its artifact collection – today owned and curated by Odyssey Marine Exploration – ranging from gold bars to pearls, ceramics, beads, glass wares, astrolabes, tortoiseshell and seeds, including detailed studies of the animal bones and silver coins. The Tortugas shipwreck reflects the daily life of trade with the Americas at the end of the Golden Age of Spain. 9781782971481, £25.00, April 2013 HB, col illus throughout, 201p, Oxbow Books

London Gateway Maritime Archaeology in the Thames Estuary Anthony Firth (Editor); Niall Callan (Editor); Graham Scott (Editor); Toby Gane (Editor) The DP World London Gateway Port, on the north bank of the Thames, is a major development of a new container terminal. Its construction has been accompanied by a major dredging scheme that has increased the depth of sections of the approach channel over a length of c. 100km, from the outer reaches of the Thames to the new terminal. From its beginning, this scheme included careful consideration of the archaeological consequences of dredging in such a historically-important estuary. Over the course of a decade, investigations by Wessex Archaeology have provided a new perspective on the historic environment of the Thames, and explored innovative archaeological approaches and methodologies for addressing marine developments of this type and scale. This volume sets out the challenges, results and history of these investigations, and the context and constraints encountered.

Sytske Besemer Sociology & Psychology investigated this in England as well as in the Netherlands. She answers questions such as: does it matter when the parents committed crime in the child’s life? Do more persistent offenders transmit crime more than sporadic offenders? Do violent offenders specifically transmit violent behaviour or general crime to their children? Might the police and courts be biased against certain families? Could a deprived environment explain why parents as well as children show criminal behaviour? Does parental imprisonment pose an extra risk? This dissertation is the first study to specifically investigate these mechanisms of intergenerational continuity.

Eysenck (Editor); Daniel Cervone (Editor) This series grows out of the Biennial Symposia on Personality and Social Psychology (BSPSP; http://www.bspsp.edu.pl), which are intended to become a regular forum for psychologists and representatives of allied disciplines. The goal of BSPSP is to understand and analyze the integrative approach to studying human psychology. The growing achievements of psychology allow us to conceptualize, measure, and influence complex behavior. Research has become more specialized, resulting in difficulties in communication and collaboration. BSPSP is an important forum for cross-disciplinary discussions concerning important aspects of the human brain and mind.

Valle-Inclán: The Dead Man’s Finery and The Captain’s Daughter Laura Lonsdale (Translator) Las galas del difunto/ The Dead Man’s Finery (1926) and La hija del capitán/ The Captain’s Daughter (1927) are two of four tragic farces written by Ramón del Valle-Inclán for the theatre. Translated here for the first time into English, Las galas del difunto/ The Dead Man’s Finery is a short dramatic incursion into the life of Juanito Ventolera/Johnny Bluster, a decommissioned veteran of the Spanish- American War who steals a dead man’s clothes in order to woo a prostitute. La hija del capitán/ The Captain’s Daughter is the most historically and politically oriented of Valle-Inclán’s works for the theatre. A man is killed and the accident of his death sets off a chain of events in which exploitation and self-interest are the orchestrating forces, concluding in a military coup that topples the government. The plays are accompanied by a critical introduction and notes, both fine examples of Valle-Inclán’s expressionistic and experimental theatre.

If we want to bring to life something of its impressive history, we might use the metaphor of a great river into which streams and rivulets constantly flow. Alternatively we could liken it to a mighty tree that has grown organically from buried roots, spreading out into a living canopy of innumerable and constantly renewed twigs and leaves. Elinor Kapp prefers to think of English as a wonderful piece of embroidery, stitched with a multitude of varied threads onto a base of primitive communication. The upper surface dazzles us with its range of colours, tones and textures. But to understand its construction, we need to take a look at the underside of the work. Here we can see the untidiness – the awkward seams, peculiar knots and frayed ends. In places, time has worn away our words to leave threadbare gaps; in others, swathes have been cutaway by changing tastes and trends, allowing flamboyant new threads to be spliced in. When we unpick the English language, it is quite startling to find how many of our common words, sayings, figures of speech, folklore, myths, nursery rhymes and stories come from thread and all the fascinating processes it had to go through to create textiles. The author is fascinated by the way English weaves the threads of our past into today’s figures of speech, bringing richly layered meaning to our lives.

His pseudonym, which translates as ‘The Hidden Language & Literature One’, is as puzzling as his diverse body of works, which range from mystical symbolist poetry and dark expressionist tales to realist historical epic. Although part of the Kiev Group of Yiddish writers, which also included David Bergelson and Peretz Markish, Der Nister remained at the margins of the Yiddish literary world throughout his life, mainstream success eluding him both in- and outside the Soviet Union. Yet, to judge from the quantity of recent research and translation work, der Nister is today one of the best remembered Yiddish modernists. The present collection of twelve original articles by international scholars re-examines Der Nister’s cultural and literary legacy, bringing to light new aspects of his life and creative output.

45 Mattia Preti The Triumphant Manner Keith Sciberras (Author) 2013 will mark the 400th anniversary of the birth of the artist Mattia Preti (1613–1699), who spent forty years of his working life in Malta. Midsea Books, in collaboration with the Department of History of Art at the University of Malta, are working together to publish an outstanding book that discusses critically the artist’s oeuvre in Malta. Research for this superb book is co-ordinated by Professor Keith Sciberras, who is also the author of the two critical essays which compose the first part of the book. Over 150 catalogue entries are co-authored by Professor Sciberras and Ms Jessica Borg M.A. The book includes over 270 paintings. The images of the paintings in Malta are being taken purposely for this book by master photographer Mr Joe P. Borg.Born in Taverna, Calabria, in 1613, Mattia Preti emerged as a leading exponent of the forceful Baroque of mid-17th century Italy, working in a tradition which brilliantly captured the characteristics of monumental dynamism and theatrical appeal. An extraordinary draughtsman and painterly virtuoso, he was quick with his brush and produced hundreds of pictures which spanned a career of some seventy years. The artist’s technique and method of painting was fast and he could rapidly execute large scale works. His inventive genius kept up with the pace of his technique and the artist thus produced a large corpus of paintings. This lavish publication, which will mark the 400th anniversary from the master’s birth, will be another outstanding contribution for all enthusiasts of Maltese art and history.

Whitewash and the New Aesthetic of the Protestant Reformation Victoria George (Author) This book is a reconsideration of the practice of whitewashing church interiors during the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is the first detailed study of its kind which challenges the view that whitewash was always only a ‘cheap coat of paint’. Victoria George pulls together several histories: of the colour white from the biblical period to the present, and ideas about the colour white in philosophy, theology, art, and architecture from antiquity to the present. She links them to case studies of the ways in which reformers Huldrych Zwingli and John Calvin thought about colour in a careful analysis of the role of colour-thinking in their theological writings. The social meanings embodied in the word, ‘whitewash’ as it entered the printed media in the 17th century is explored as part of a chapter on the history of whitewashing itself. The long-term symbolic and aesthetic implications of the practice of whitewashing are examined in the larger context of material culture; in terms of their value as a metaphor, for both the Reformed Protestant and the Catholic in opposition to them; and for the uses to which whitewash has been put over time. George proposes that the practice was not only visually transformative but held importance for religious aesthetics as an agent of change, and for an aesthetics of minimalism generally, especially evident in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Victoria George received an MFA from the Royal College of Art (London), an MA from The Architectural Association, and a Ph.D. from

Visible Spirit III The Art of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Volume III: Bernini at St. Peter’s. The Pilgrimage Irving Lavin (Author) Bernini at St. Peter’s may be a unique case in history: a single artist in change of a grandiose monument in a continuous state of creativity under constantly changing patrons and a variety of projects, for nearly six decades. This book argues that a continuous thread of thought may be discerned underlying and connecting the vicissitudes of this spectacular display. From first to last, Bernini conceived of St. Peter’s as a pilgrimage church, a kind of pilgrimage of human life, his own and of the believers who visited the basilica to worship and give testimony. The book is in large format and richly illustrated with 272 colour illustrations. It represents a fitting tribute to the artist and his monument, St. Peter’s Basilica. Volume III Contents: Preamble; St. Peter’s as summa ecclesiarum; The apse and crossing; The high altar; Baldachins and ciboria; The baldacchino (1624–35); Paired tombs; The tomb of Urban VIII (1627–47); The crossing piers (1627–41); The nave: continuity; “Feed my sheep” (pasce oves meas) (1633–46); The tomb of Matilda of Tuscany (1633–44); The nave decoration (1645–9); Ingress – egress; The piazza and colonnades (1656–67); Commemoration; The cathedra petri (1657–66); The equestrian monument of Constantine and the Scala Regia (1662–70); The tomb of Alexander VII (1671–8); Passage to the Holy City; The Ponte Sant’Angelo and Castel Sant’Angelo (1667–71); Consummation; The Sacrament Altar (1673–5); The church, the city, and the artist; Roma alessandrina: urban unity, public welfare, and universal Christian charity; The blood of Christ (1669–70) 9781904597469, £195.00, January 2013 HB, 386p, 21 x 30 in, 272 colour illus., Pindar Press 47 Artists’ Art in the Renaissance Marilyn A Lavin (Author) Marilyn Aronberg Lavin has taught the history of art at Washington University, the University of Maryland, Yale, Princeton, and Università di Roma, La Sapienza. Specializing in Italian 13th16th century painting, she is internationally known for her books and articles on Piero della Francesca. Her other books include The Place of Narrative: Mural Painting in Italian Churches, 1600 AD., and Seventeenth-Century Barberini Documents and Inventories of Art, both of which were recipients of international prizes for distinguished scholarship. She is one of the leaders in the use of computers and digitized imagery for research, teaching, and publication in the history of art. This book offers a series of case studies intended to introduce and define an important class of fifteenth-century Italian art not previously recognized. It is argued that the paintings and sculptures discussed were created privately by artists for personal satisfaction and internal needs, outside the traditional framework of patronage and commercial gain. Since there is no direct documentation from this period of a work being privately made, the selection presented here is necessarily speculative. Instead, the essays focus on works by Piero della Francesca, Mantegna, Michelangelo, Bellini, and Titian that appear in the artists testaments, letters of refusals to sell, and inventories showing ownership at the time of death. The task at hand is to uncover the motivation and meaning of works of art in which the medieval craftsman began to rise to the status of independent artist, and the maker and the viewer confront each other face to face for the first time. 9781904597438, £75.00, Available Now HB, 230p, 86 col & b/w illus., Pindar Press

Hieronymus Bosch Late Work Charles D. Cuttler (Author) Professor Charles D. Cuttler changed from artist to art historian at New York University s Institute of Fine Arts, studying under distinguished teachers such as Walter Friedlaender and Erwin Panofsky. A specialist in Flemish painting, he spent the major part of his career teaching at the University of Iowa. He has published reviews, articles, and a well known text, Northern Painting, and lectured on Bosch on three continents. Retired in 1983, this enabled him to devote to further research, much of it on Bosch. A result is Hieronymus Bosch: Late Work . This new book presents his discoveries in three late triptychs, a major trio of Boschs maturity: the Haywain, The Temptation of St. Anthony (Lisbon), and The Garden of Earthly Delights . He presents Boschs unique view of Christ and salvation in union with hagiography, the Devotio moderna (modern devotion), and medieval hermeneutics, a revelation of Boschs immense erudition and overwhelming artistry. Bosch reinforced his concepts with supporting casts of animals, natural and demonic, birds, and other iconographic elements. Analysis of Berlin s picture of St. John the Evangelists apocalyptic vision of the Virgin Mary, the Madrid Seven Deadly Sins tondo, and Vienna s drawing of the Tree-Man expands our understanding. Other influences affecting Boschs art, whether he traveled, or used contemporary prints, whether he drew upon Dantes Inferno (he did), or religious tracts, and the attitudes of his ambience are also examined. The Epilogue presents the authors understanding of Bosch in his time and place, Art – Modern Period Art his religiosity and his genius.

Vassilieff and His Art Felicity St John Moore (Author) Danila Vassilieff, a passionate, freedom-loving Cossack who burst upon the Australian art scene in the mid-1930s is, in this book, posited as the missing link in the story of 20th century painting in Australia. The author suggests that the emotionalism and originality of his art, and his unconventional lifestyle, had a leavening effect on the art of Nolan, Tucker, Hester, Percival, Blackman, and Arthur Boyd, giving the artists courage to paint their original visions in a society largely unready for them. Vassilieff’s immediate and imaginative response to the Australian landscape deepened this impact. This critical survey of Vassilieff’s painting and sculpture is richly illustrated and fully documented with catalogues of his creative output in both areas. It also provides the moving story of a legendary character who died poverty-stricken, in 1958, at the age of 60. His struggle to prove himself as an individual and an artist has all the ingredients of a novel.

Di Bresciani is well known in Australia and overseas as an artist, musician and educator. Since the first solo exhibition of her paintings in 1995, she has participated in many exhibitions in Australia as well as London, Paris and new York.

Created by both indigenous and non-indigenous artists resident and active in the Northern Territory, these artworks share characteristics that include references and responses to the land and its unique colours and geographic formations; to the diverse culture and cultural changes that have occurred; to specialist local developments in various art forms such as printmaking, woven constructions in natural materials, site specific installation art and sculpture; and to Darwinian origins. Daena Murray’s richly detailed and well informed text, with introduction by Nicolas Rothwell, appears alongside the chosen artworks.

Power + Colour New Painting from the Corrigan Collection of 21st Century Aboriginal Art Jane Raffan (Author) The enthralling power and colour of Aboriginal painting of Tjukurpa (Law) and country has brought Aboriginal art to the forefront of contemporary art practice in Australia. Aboriginal art has also played an important role in the formulation of Indigenous Land Rights debates and Native Title Jurisprudence. 2012 marked the twentieth anniversary of the High Court of Australia’s decision in Mabo, which overturned the British doctrine of terra nullius (empty land) – the false premise on which the colony was founded – and forever changed the legal landscape for Indigenous rights. The thesis of Power + Colour: New Painting from the Corrigan Collection of 21st Century Aboriginal Art charts the history of Aboriginal art’s impact on Australian law, and explores the inextricable nexus of Aboriginal law
