This was the time when some Akan clans came to- gether to form a kingdom with Kumase as their capital,, some few years earlier. This apparently new territory was not the original home of the Asante. Originally all the ances- tors of the Asante lived at Adansc/Amansle.' The above assertion does not agree with Eva Meyerowitz's2 view that the Akan formerly lived along the Niger bend in the regions lying roughly between Djenne and Timbucto. There Is no evidence to support such mass migrations from outside.3 Adanse is therefore an important ancestral home of many Twi speakers. The area is traditionally known in Akan cosmogony as the place where God (Odomankoma) started the creation of the world, such as the ideas of the clan <snd kinship. Furthermore, Adanse was the first of the five principal Akan states of Adanse, Akyem Abuakwa, Assen, Denkyfra and Asante (The Akanman Piesle Num) In order of seniority.5 Evidence of the above claim for Adanse is shown by the fact that most of the ruling clans of the Akan forest states trace their origins to Adanse.

The first known civilization in the region was that of the Thracians, whose culture reached a peak in the sixth century B.C. Because of disunity, in the ensuing centuries Thracian territory was occupied successively by the Greeks, Persians, Macedonians, and Romans. A Thracian kingdom still existed under the Roman Empire until the first century A.D., when Thrace was incorporated into the empire, and Serditsa was established as a trading center on the site of the modern Bulgarian capital, Sofia.

  • Tarihi Türk Sehri Balasagun Hakkinda Yeni Incelemeler
    TARİHİ TÜRK SEHRİ BALASAGUN HAKKİNDA YENİ İNCELEMELER VARİ S ABDURRAHMAN* Tarihi Türk şehri Balasagun Karahanlılar Devleti'nin başkentlerinden biri olup, eskiden beri Türk tarihindeki önemi itibariyle Türk kültürü araştırıcılarımn ilgisini çekmektedir. Ancak Balasagun hakkında yeterli bilgi veren orijinal kaynakların eksik olması, söz konusu şehir üzerine farklı görüşlerin ortaya atılmasına sebep olmuştur. Biz, elde mevcut yerli ve yabancı kaynaklardaki bilgilerin ışığında şimdiye kadar konuyla ilgili olarak yapılan çalışmaları da dikkate alarak, Balasagun şehrinin menşei, kuruluş tarihi, kurucuları ve sair hakkında yaptığım çalışmalar sonucu tespit ettiğimiz bazı hususları ortaya koymak istiyoruz. Balasagun şehrinin yerinin tespiti, Balasagun'la ilgili çalışmalardaki en önemli meselelerin biridir. Bu konuda yazılı kaynaklarda bazı ipuçları verilmiş ise de bir kısım araştırmacılar Arkeoloji ilminin eski şehirlerin tespiti konusunda sağladığı imkanlardanda, yararlanarak Balasagun'un ye- rini tespit etmeye çalıştı. Bunların başında meşhur Rus Türkolog W.Barthold gelmektedir. O, 20.yüzplın başında Orta Asya'daki Çu ve Talas Nehirleri kıyısında yaptığı çal ışmalar sonucu, söz konusu şehrin Ak-Beşim (Ak-Peşin) Harabelerinde kurulduğunu iddia ederek, Burana'nın Arapça- 'daki Manara'nın bozuk telaffuzu olduğunu savunuyor'. 1953-1955 yılları arasında Tokmak eski şehrinin Burana Harabesinde incelemelerde bulu- nan A.N.Bernştam, Ak-Beşim (Suyab) Kalesi'nin Balasagun olduğunu or- taya koyar2.

  • Conservation Studies of Korean Stone Heritages
    Conservation Studies of Korean Stone Heritages Chan Hee Lee Department of Cultural Heritage Conservation Sciences, Kongju National University, Gongju, 32588, Republic of Korea Keywords: Korean stone heritages, Conservation, Weathering, Damage, Environmental control. Abstract: In Republic of Korea, a peninsula country located at the eastern region of the Asian continent, is mostly composed of granite and gneiss. The southern Korean peninsula stated approximately 7,000 tangible cultural heritages. Of these, the number of stone heritages are 1,882 (26.8%), showing a diverse types such as stone pagoda (25.8%), stone Buddha statues (23.5%), stone monuments (18.1%), petroglyph, dolmen, fossils and etc. Igneous rock accounts for the highest portion of the stone used for establishing Korean stone heritages, forming approximately 84% of state-designated cultural properties. Among these, granite was used most often, 68.2%, followed by diorite for 8.2%, and sandstone, granite gneiss, tuff, slate, marble, and limestone at less than 4% each. Furthermore, values of the Korean stone heritages are discussed as well as various attempts for conservation of the original forms of these heritages. It is generally known that the weathering and damage degrees of stone heritage are strongly affected by temperature and precipitation. The most Korean stone heritages are corresponded to areas of middle to high weathering according to topography and annual average temperature and precipitation of Korea. Therefore, examination of environmental control methods are required for conservation considering the importance of stone heritages exposed to the outside conditions, and monitoring and management systems should be established for stable conservation in the long term.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .

  • Development at the Border - Appendix a [Not for Publication]
    Development at the border - Appendix A [Not for publication] The alignment of boundaries in colonial times This appendix illustrates the hazards that presided to the alignment of boundaries during colonial times. When referring to pre-colonial political entities, it is worth recalling that even structured kingdoms drew no maps1, and that ethnic groups are historical objects that were at least influenced, if not constructed in some instances, by colonial and post-colonial politics.2 Some kingdoms were com- posed of groups speaking di®erent languages, on a federal basis, like for instance the Gyaman kingdom lying across the present-day Cote d'Ivoire-Ghana border.3 A.1. The border of Cote d'Ivoire with Ghana The border area between Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana stretches from the lagoon regions bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the savannah in the North. We exclude the most northern part of this border where only few survey clusters are close enough to the border, i.e. the Bouna district in Cote d'Ivoire and the northern region in Ghana. On the Cote d'Ivoire side, the southern border area is made up of ¯ve contemporary districts: the "d¶epartements" of Bondoukou, Tanda, Agnibilekrou, Abengourou and Aboisso. This administrative de¯nition of the border region selects survey clusters that are pretty close to the border: they range from 1 to 118 km from the border, with a mean distance of 30 km. On the side of Ghana, the available regional subdivisions provide less details: we are left with two regions, Western and Brong-Ahafo; this latter region extends far from the Cote d'Ivoire border, so that 25% of survey clusters are more than 100 km away from the border, 1Herbst, J.I., 2000.
