In addition to the Jerwan canal, this research has identified and mapped over 60 km of other canals across a wide swath of Assyria (fig. 3), some of which had not been recognized on the ground before. The unexpected extent of Sennacherib’s canals must be understood within the context of his other actions. Upon the death of his father, he moved the capital to the newly ex- panded city of Nineveh. As known from the Bible and his own inscriptions, he was a very prolific deporter of conquered populations; many of them were settled in his new capital, but many others filled in the productive agricultural hinterland of Figure 1.

  • Phoenicia, Philistia, and Judah As Seen Through the Assyrian Lens
    Phoenicia, Philistia, and Judah as Seen Through the Assyrian Lens: A Commentary on Sennacherib’s Account of His Third Military Campaign with Special Emphasis on the Various Political Entities He Encounters in the Levant Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Paul Downs, B.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2015 Thesis Committee: Dr. Sam Meier, Advisor Dr. Kevin van Bladel Copyright by Paul Harrison Downs 2015 2 Abstract In this thesis I examine the writings and material artifacts relevant to Sennacherib’s third military campaign into the regions of Phoenicia, Philistia, and Judah. The intent of this examination is to investigate the political, ethnic, and religious entities of the ancient Levant from an exclusively Assyrian perspective that is contemporary with the events recorded. The focus is to analyze the Assyrian account on its own terms, in particular what we discover about various regions Sennacherib confronts on his third campaign. I do employ sources from later periods and from foreign perspectives, but only for the purpose of presenting a historical background to Sennacherib’s invasion of each of the abovementioned regions. Part of this examination will include an analysis of the structural breakdown of Sennacherib’s annals (the most complete account of the third campaign) to see what the structure of the narrative can tell us about the places the Assyrians describe. Also, I provide an analysis of each phase of the campaign from these primary writings and material remains.

A Dissertation in Anthropology by Zaid Alrawi © 2018 Zaid Alrawi Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2018 The dissertation of Zaid Alrawi was reviewed and approved by the following: José M. Capriles Assistant Professor of Anthropology Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee David Webster Professor Emeritus of Anthropology Kirk French Associate Teaching Professor of Anthropology Mark Munn Professor of Ancient Greek History and Greek Archaeology, Departments of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, and History Head of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies George Chaplin Special Member Senior Research Associate of Anthropology Douglas J. Kennett Department Head and Professor of Anthropology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT This dissertation addresses the rural economy of southern Mesopotamia during the Third Millennium B.C. Previous research suggested that during the Early Dynastic, the region was characterized by a largely dispersed and decentralized settlement system that progressively became increasingly centralized with the emergence of the Akhadian Empire and the subsequent Ur III State. Our knowledge about the economic organization of rural Sumer, however, is largely based on ancient textual evidence, which is biased toward the perspective of city-based administrators. Focusing on the Girsu peripheral region of southern Mesopotamia, I explore landscape management, craft production, and exchange. I constructed a geographic information system including remote sensing images, field observations, published archaeological maps, and ancient textual evidence to explore the nature of settlement patterns and their change over time.

  • HENRIETTE ANTONIA GROENEWEGEN-FRANKFORT by Claudia E
    HENRIETTE ANTONIA GROENEWEGEN-FRANKFORT By Claudia E. Suter Henriette Antonia Groenewegen was born on December 17, 1896 in Leyden, the Netherlands. She was the second youngest of six children. Her father, Hermanus Ysbrand Groenewegen, was a minister in the Remonstrantse Broederschap, a branch of the Dutch Reformation, which distinguishes itself from Lutheran hard-liners by its liberal attitudes.1 When Jettie, as Henriette was called by her family and friends, was six years old, her father became professor for practical theology, history of the Remonstrantse Broederschap, and philosophy of religion at the Fig. 1: H. A. Groenewegen- seminary of the Remonstrantse Broederschap in Frankfort in 1941. Leyden. He was an important figure in this circle, and famous as orator. Over time the focus of his work seems to have shifted more and more toward philosophy. In 1916, when Jettie was twenty years of age, he became professor for philosophy of religion and philosophical ethics in the theological faculty of the University of Amsterdam, for which he had to give up his leadership at the seminary. Jettie thus grew up in a liberal and intellectual milieu, and received a good general education. Perhaps inspired by her father's work, she pursued studies in Greek and Chinese philosophy at the University of Amsterdam. Although women had been admitted to universities in Holland since 1890, it was still unusual for a young woman in the second decade of our century to pursue academic studies, especially philosophy. Most professions then were taught by apprenticeship, institutions of higher education in general were restricted to those who could afford it, and the middle and upper class woman's common occupation was that of mother and housewife.

  • Professor Seton Howard Frederick Lloyd, C.B.E., M.A., F.B.A., A.R.I.B.A
    PROFESSOR SETON HOWARD FREDERICK LLOYD, C.B.E., M.A., F.B.A., A.R.I.B.A. 1902-1996 Seton Lloyd, who died in hospital in Oxford on 7 January 1996 at the age of 93, was one of the last surviving pioneer archaeologists who put Near Eastern archaeology on to a sound, professional footing and established the special procedures necessary for excavating Near Eastern mounds. He was born on 30 May 1902 at Edgbaston, Birmingham, the second of eight children, into a family connected with Lloyds Bank (his grandfather had been a Director) and Lloyds Insurance. His father was a "shadowy" figure who became stone deaf during his honeymoon so that relationships with his children were difficult. Seton's mother was from a military family and he adored her. She was a great influence and he was able to base parts of his memoirs (The Interval, 1986) on his numerous letters to her. He studied at the Architectural Association in London, qualifying in 1926, and spent two years as Sir Edwyn Lutyens' assistant before setting up a small private architectural practice with two friends in 1928. That same year one of his partners got engaged to be married and was not, therefore, in a position to take up the post of architect on the Tell el-Amarna excavations in Egypt. Seton went to Egypt instead. Thus began the "professional transformation" which was to produce one of this century's great field archaeologists. The director at Amarna, Henri Frankfort, engaged Seton Lloyd for his next venture on behalf of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, namely the excavations in the Diyala Region north-east of Baghdad.

As we enhance the query facility we will also be making a concerted effort to document its effective use more clearly for users of all kinds. Exciting was the visit of Dr. Andreas Schachner, the director of the German excavations in Bo©azköy, the former capital of the Hittite empire Hattuåa, who gave two lectures. We also talked about possible ways of future cooperation, especially in light of the eCHD. It has always been our aim to present where relevant in the dictionary as much archaeological evidence as possible. For instance, in treating the word åeppikkuåta- “needle, pin” we, of course, refer to the existing excavation reports that publish all known pins and needles found, but the eCHD would give us the possibility of actually showing them and linking to the publications. This is something that we will have to explore in the coming years. —————————— DIYALA PROJECT Clemens D. Reichel Started work after lunch with 12 men from Shergat [=Assur, modern Qala’at Shergat].

The project’s goal is the complete mapping of the archaeological landscape of Erbil, with an emphasis on the Neo-Assyrian and Hellenistic periods. It will test the hypothesis that the Neo-Assyrian landscape was closely planned. This first report emphasizes the project’s field methodology, especially the use of a variety of satellite remote sensing imagery. Our preliminary results suggest that the plain was part of the urbanized world of Mesopotamia, with new cities of the Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Sasanian era identified. Introduction Iraq is one of the intellectual birthplaces of the study of ancient settlement patterns and landscapes.
