DOAK Harvard Semitic Museum George Fox University ABSTRACT: The 2007 season of the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon unearthed a remarkable intramural infant jar burial, bearing roughly incised images on both sides. While a number of intramural infant burials have been recovered from late twelfth–eleventh century levels at the site, this jar is the first burial to reveal anything about the funerary beliefs and rituals that might be associated with such practices. The iconography itself is unique within the Philistine milieu, as well as within the broader context of Syro-Palestinian funerary imagery, instead echoing Egyptian funerary motifs. After a brief discussion of the jar and its archaeological context we offer an interpretation of the burial jar’s iconography and explore its possible relationship to Egyptian funerary ritual. THIRTY years of excavations within the Philistine Pentapolis have allowed us tremendous insight into the material culture, history and religious practices of the immigrant Sea Peoples. Nevertheless, we have little understanding of how the Philistines approached death and the ritual of burial. Iron I–II burials connected with Sea Peoples have been so attributed on the basis of essentially circumstantial evidence, their ethnicity assigned according to small amounts of Philistine-style pottery, presumed ‘regional’connections with Sea Peoples, or limited evidence of potential Aegean influence.1 No cemeteries have been excavated which can conclusively be associated with either

  • Traditions of Jars As Mortuary Containers in the Indo-Malaysian Archipelago
    8 Traditions of Jars as Mortuary Containers in the Indo-Malaysian Archipelago David Bulbeck Earthenware and imported ceramic jars were from time to time used as mortuary containers across a large swathe of the Indo-Malaysian Archipelago. As noted by Peter Bellwood, this deployment of earthenwares has Neolithic origins, and burgeoned during approximately the first millennium AD. The assemblages were frequently dominated by disposals in mortuary jars but these were one of a variety of mortuary practices at other sites. Defining a jar-burial tradition as a potentially independent development of the use of jars as mortuary containers, we may provisionally identify 14 geographically discrete jar-burial traditions within the archipelago. Introduction In his textbook on the prehistory of the Indo-Malaysian Archipelago, Peter Bellwood (1997) dealt at length with the use of jars as mortuary containers, which he assigned to a tradition best regarded ‘as an indigenous development in Island Southeast Asia’ (p. 306). He traced the tradition’s origins to late Neolithic contexts, noting, however, that many more sites date to the Palaeometallic or Early Metal Phase. He also stated that the recorded sites appeared to be particularly a feature of the triangular area in between the Philippines, Borneo and Sumba (p. 296). Implicitly, Bellwood referred to the use of jars not as grave goods but as mortuary containers, even if this specific use of the recovered pottery is inferred rather than directly observed at certain sites, such as Leang Buidane (see below). The examples he discussed also exclude sites with jars buried for rituals that were probably non-mortuary, considering the lack of associated human remains in conditions that should be conducive to preservation of bone – for instance, the Palaeometallic jars buried at Makabog in the Philippines (Henson 1992), Leang Balangingi in the Talaud Islands (Bellwood 1976) and Batu Ejaya in southwest Sulawesi (Bulbeck 1996–1997).

Like many other naked Aphrodites, the Anadyomene was not posed to conceal the body, but with arms raised, naked and unashamed, exposing the goddess’ body to the gaze. Depictions of the Aphrodite Anadyomene present the female body as an object to be desired. The Anadyomene offers none of the complicated games of peek-a- boo which pudica Venuses play by shielding their bodies from view. Instead, the goddess offers her body to the viewer’s gaze and there is no doubt that we, as viewers, are meant to look, and that our looking should produce desire.

  • Natasha Fijn Sugarbag Dreaming: the Significance of Bees to Yolngu in Arnhem Land, Australia
    H U M a N I M A L I A 6:1 Natasha Fijn Sugarbag Dreaming: the significance of bees to Yolngu in Arnhem Land, Australia Introduction. We pile out of the dusty four-wheel drive troop carrier and begin walking in separate groups of two or three, bare feet crunching through the dry grass. The only other sounds are occasional resonant taps from an axe testing whether a trunk is hollow; or when the women periodically call to each other to keep within earshot amongst the scattered stands of stringybark trees. It is easy, open walking through country. The extended family group I came with care for the land by setting fire to the grass during the drier months, particularly at this time of year, sugarbag season. I observe while the women in their brightly coloured skirts with their young children or grandchildren look closely at the trunks of the trees and up into the canopy at the blue sky beyond, scanning for signs of the tiny black stingless bees. Today offers good conditions for finding honey. If the conditions are too cool or windy the bees tend to stay in their nest, not venturing out to forage. We hear a yell in the distance indicating that a nest has been found and walk to the small, scraggly-looking tree. The teenager, who located the bees, begins to chop down the tree to get at the nest inside. Children hold onto their jars and containers in keen anticipation of the rich, sticky honey within the tree. Once the women have opened up the nest, they do not only consume the liquid honey but collect everything with the beaten end of a stick: the wax, larvae, pollen and the odd entrapped stingless bee.

The first was its establishment as an imperial residence the second was its location within the northern Adriatic basin, which had since Antiquity been a crossroads for peoples, trade and cultures. Just on the basis of the support it received from the imperial power, its episcopate was elevated to one of the most important sees of Italy. By means of the large international harbour of Classe, from the 5th to the 7th centuries the city imported products from around the entire Medi- terranean. With the arrival of the Byzantine gov- ernment, the ties between the port of Classe and the other Mediterranean export centres shifted by moving from West to East. Moreover, the relation- ship with Constantinople reaffirmed the political and ecclesiastical importance of Ravenna. As long as these ties remained strong, Ravenna retained a vital contact to the other maritime Mediterranean trade centres. The twilight of Byzantine rule did not cause the decline of the city, but rather a progressive turn of its ruling class toward the political scenario of the medieval West.

  • Rice, Bronze, and Chieftains —An Archaeology of Yayoi Ritual—
    Japanese Journal of Religions Studies 1992 19/2-3 Rice, Bronze, and Chieftains —An Archaeology of Yayoi Ritual— Mark J. H udson The Yayoi 弥生 was the period in which agriculture came to form the basis of society in a laree part of the Japanese archipelago. It is often dated from 300 bc to ad 300，thoueh in parts of western Japan wet rice farming began a century or more earlier. The end of the Yayoi was marked by the appearance in the third century of kofun, standardized keyhole-shaped tomb mounds. Although there is disagreement over both the exact chronology of this transition and the difference between standardized and pre-standardized mounds, the majority of Japanese archaeologists now believe the Yayoi ended by about ad 250 in the west­ ern archipelago. Limitations of space make it impossible to present a general discussion of Yayoi culture here. A recent review can be found in H udson (1990), but the reader should be aware that many areas of debate still remain. One such problem is the degree of continental immigration into Yayoi Japan —something that has obvious consequences for our understand­ ing of ritual continuities with the Jomon. The Yayoi is partially proto- historic, since the Eastern Han and Wei dynastic histories (Hou H an shu 後漢書 and Wei zhi 魏志〉contain short descriptions of the Wa 倭 people. Although there have been suggestions that “Wa” was used to refer to a distinct ethnic group, it is probably best understood as a general term for the inhabitants of at least western Japan in the third century ad.

  • Jar Burials" in Borneo and Elsewhere Received 28 June 1974
    Early "Jar Burials" In Borneo and Elsewhere Received 28 June 1974 TOM HARRISSON N AN article that appeared in 1960, W. G. Solheim discussed jar burial on several Philippine islands in the context of jar-burial practice elsewhere in Asia. Inez de I Beauclair (1972) has valuably enhanced our understanding of this distinctive process as it is found on Botel Tobago Island (Hungt'ou Yii), off Taiwan. The present account extends the picture two thousand miles across open water to the southern limits of the China Sea, the Sarawak coast, and its hinterland of northwest Borneo. Here into modern times inland peoples such as the riverine Berawan (Furness 1902: 139) and the highland Kelabit (Harrisson 1959; 1962a: 11) have favored both primary and secondary burials in imported Chinese stoneware jars. These burials, which include massive examples in three-colored earthenware (Solheim, Harrisson, and Wall 1959: 167), are also a conspicuous feature of the cave Neolithic. Beauclair is uneasy about dating Botel Tobago jar burials before the Ming dynasty (1972: 172-175), though she generalizes to a "chain of jar burials reaching from Indonesia over the Philippines ... to Formosa, Japan, and Korea" extending in time "from the beginning of the Christian era to the eighteenth century" (1972: 172). Yet her Plate Ic-a bowl of grayish-white crackled porcelain from a Botel Tobago urn-gives two clear views of one of the earliest and most distinctive types of Chinese "export ware." Although Beauclair hesitates to consider this bowl to be as early as Sung, it almost exactly matches those we have excavated at J aong, the oldest of the Sarawak River delta ironworking sites.

  • Erika Kaneko
    Japan A REVIEW OF YAYOI PERIOD BURIAL PRACTICES Received I6 April I96S ERIKA KANEKO HE chapter 'Burial Methods' in J.E. Kidder's Japan Before Buddhism (1959: 104-II 0) T is assumed to be sufficiently well known to serve as a background paper for this review. This report concentrates on specific problems and material appearing since the publi­ cation of Kidder's study. The existing synthetic studies of Yayoi burial practices follow one of two methodological approaches, classification by type and classification by region. Analogous to the preceding Jomon *JiX, the Yayoi 5m~ horizon is divided into 'western Japan' and 'eastern Japan' (Nihon Kokogaku Koza IV, 1955, hereafter ab breviated Koza). In place ofthe regional or typical approach, this paper proposes a grouping suggestive of the actual process of impact and diffu­ sion: nuclear areas (north Kyushu ~t:tL1H and the southern tip of Honshu i¥i*1+1); radiation areas (Chiigoku *~, Kansai imglj including Shikoku Im~, and Kanto mmjf[); and marginal areas (Tohoku jf[~t, and southeast Kyushu jf[i¥i:tL1H). The classification by type (Sekai Kokogaku Taikei II, 1960, hereafter abbreviated SKT) raises several primary questions of terminology. Jar burials. Although Kidder uses 'jar' and 'urn' interchangeably, 'urn' should be strictly reserved for a receptacle containing cremated remains. It must also be noted that besides jars~, pottery types like crocks~, basins #, bowls WIl and even footed dishes ~;j>f are subsumed under the heading of 'burial jar.' These types may occur either singly or as units (~I=l =2 vessels joined mouth to mouth) having the function of a burial jar.
