Описание: The archaeological site of Tell Nebi Mend, a tell on the Homs plain in present-day Syria, is universally recognised as the location, first, of Qadesh (or Kadesh), where, in c. 1286 BC, the armies of Ramesses II of Egypt and Muwatalli II of Great Hatti fought the most famous battle of pre-classical antiquity, and, second, of Laodicea ad Libanum, founded most probably in the 3rd century BC as the capital of a district of the Seleucid empire. Collaborative excavations undertaken over 12 seasons aimed to fill a major gap in archaeological knowledge between the northern and southern Levant and to develop an understanding of the archaeology and early history of the Levantine Corridor independent of, and supplementing, that based on Palestinian and Biblical research. The primary aim was to obtain as complete a sequence as possible of cultural and environmental data, sampling all periods of the site's occupation, which included Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Hellenistic/Roman deposits, enclosures and defenses spanning the 7th millennium BC to the mid-1st millennium AD. A definitive classification of all types of Syrian pottery over two millennia was established, together with a much longer sequence of pottery, stone, metal and bone implements, terracottas and other cultural remains, accompanied by a wealth of environmental data and a series of radiometric dates. The earliest settlement so far discovered at Tell Nebi Mend dates to the first half of the 7th millennium BC and is the subject of this volume. Five phases of occupation were recognized with architectural features including, at different times, house structures and remains of larger, probably communal, buildings, along with remains of plaster, floor surfaces, fire and rubbish pits and burials, followed by large-scale abandonment. More than 2000 sherds of Neolithic pottery and 1400 flint and obsidian artifacts were recovered.

Описание: Excerpt from Meroe, the City of the Ethiopians: Being an Account of a First Season's Excavations on the Site, 1909-1910 This is shown by the common pottery of early times, in which the complete absence of Egyptian influence is at once important and surprising. It is, therefore, both possible and desirable to publish without delay such results as have been obtained, postponing a fuller discussion of the culture and history until more extensive excavation has supplemented these materials. Such history of the Ethiopians as may be gleaned from ancient literature or based on our new evidence is treated in the Introductory Chapter by Professor Sayce, who also contributes an account of the decipherment of the Meroitic hieroglyphs, incorporating his own conclusions derived with characteristic rapid insight from his comparative study of texts in the pyramids of Meroe, at Naga, and elsewhere, with those newly found. The Meroitic texts as a whole, however, are discussed at our joint invitation by Mr. F. Ll. Griffith, who saw some of the inscriptions during a visit to the excavations, and re-studied those which were movable during the exhibition held in London. His contribution, in the last chapter of the volume, as well as his copies of the texts, which fill fourteen plates of illustrations, will command the attention of scholars both as an example of method and from the definite results which he has established.

Archaeological excavation, salvage recording and watching briefs were undertaken at Metchley Roman fort, Birmingham in 1999-2001 and 2004-2005. The areas investigated were located mainly to the west of the Roman military complex. The earliest features may have belonged to a construction camp (Phase A/ Phase 1A), preparatory to the layout of the first fort (Phase 1B), around AD 48. The western defences of this fort comprised double-ditches and a turf rampart. A new discovery was a palisade trench forming a western annexe or enclosure (Phase 1C) which may have been associated with the on-site manufacture of pottery, specifically mortaria. Most importantly, the excavations provided the first structural evidence for a civilian settlement at the site (Phase B). This comprised a total of six timber-framed structures, including three open-sided strip buildings, interpreted as shops, laid out along a gravelled trackway leading out of the fort. The western annexe or enclosure and the settlement were contemporary with the first fort. This short-lived settlement was succeeded by a complex of ditched livestock compounds (Phase C). A livestock 'funnel' leading to the fort's west gate was an integral part of this arrangement, confirming the nexus between the external livestock enclosures and the livestock enclosures previously recorded within the fort interior. Both the external and internal livestock enclosures belonged to the Neronian military stores depot (Phase 2B). The location of Metchley at an important road junction, and at, or adjoining, several tribal boundaries, could have proved important for the collection of livestock from the surrounding countryside. Assuming it was concerned with the supply of auxiliary rather than legionary units, Metchley is likely to have supplied forts within the local or regional area. The western livestock complex was abandoned by the early Flavian period. This zone to the west of the military complex was not brought back into use during subsequent occupations of the military complex, which continued up to the end of the 2nd century (Phases 3-4).

Описание: In Excavations at the Seila Pyramid and Fag el-Gamous Cemetery , the excavation team provides crucial information about the Old Kingdom and Graeco-Roman Egypt. While both periods have been heavily studied, Kerry Muhlestein and his contributors provide new archaeological information that will help shape thinking about these eras. The construction and ritual features of the early Fourth Dynasty Seila Pyramid represents innovations that would influence royal funerary cult for hundreds of years. Similarly, as one of the largest excavated cemeteries of Egypt, Fag el-Gamous helps paint a picture of multi-cultural life in the Fayoum of Egypt during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. Excavations there provide a statistically impactful understanding of funerary customs under the influence of new cultures and religion.

Описание: Excavation of seven turf buildings at Lair in Glen Shee confirms the introduction of Pitcarmick buildings to the hills of north-east Perth and Kinross in the early 7th century AD. Clusters of these at Lair, and elsewhere in the hills, are interpreted as integrated, spatially organised farm complexes comprising byre-houses and outbuildings.

Описание: An early Anglo-Saxon chamber grave discovered in 2003 at Prittlewell, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, proved to be a princely burial of international significance. Lying beneath a now vanished mound, the large wooden chamber contained the coffin of a man, evidently a Christian from the small gold crosses found with him, who died probably at the end of the 6th century AD. He was buried within or beside an existing cemetery, one used by people of lesser rank, which is reassessed here. The chamber was lavishly furnished with personal items and textiles, a folding stool, a candelabrum and a lamp, a lyre and a gaming board, a scythe and weapons, and an astonishing array of vessels - some still hanging on the chamber wall. His burial suggests that this man had occupied a position at the apex of a hierarchical society, surrounded by a household and retinue - a lifestyle supported by a sophisticated farming regime, a productive agricultural population and skilled craftspeople, and with access to imported luxuries and prestige items. The results of detailed study of the evidence and artifacts found are presented here to give a definitive account of the burial and the grave goods, and to unlock the information they provide about the East Saxon kingdom in which the man lived and its contacts with Kent, Merovingian Francia and the Christian Mediterranean world.
