The bilingual series Flower World - Music Archaeology of the Americas raises the study of ancient music and music-related activities of the pre-Columbian Americas to the next level. For the first time in the history of science, a series offering anthologies featuring scientific investigations in this fascinating multidisciplinary field is available. The series encompasses peer-reviewed studies by renowned scholars on both past and living music traditions from South, Central and North America, and thus constitute a platform for the most up-to-date information on the music archaeology of the continent. It features case studies and the results of research projects in the field, in which a great variety of music-archaeological approaches, such as conventional archaeology - for the interpretation of the find contexts, experimental archaeology - for reconstructive instrument making and playing, ethnohistory and ethnolinguistics - for the interpretation of textual sources, music iconology - for the interpretation if visual sources, organology and acoustics, and ethnomusicology - for the research on contemporary legacies - for the study of the instrument finds, are commonly applied. The title of the series, Flower World, refers to a mythological, even sacred place filled with the sweet scent of flowers, bird calls, pleasant sounds, and dance. It is a place full of happiness and joy, even if it belongs to the realm of the Dead, which sustains the enduring renewal of life on earth.

Este libro está destinado, preferentemente, al alumnado de la asignatura de Composición Arquitectónica 4 del Grado en Arquitectura de la Escuela Politécnica Superior de la Universidad de Alicante. Su cometido es pensar y hacer pensar la arquitectura, su naturaleza y su sentido, y asomarse al mundo, como es propio del arquitecto, desde la misma arquitectura, entrenando al estudiante en el ejercicio de esa mirada, alrededor y adentro, para que llegue a comprenderse mejor a si mismo, en tanto que futuro arquitecto.Su interes trasciende los limites de la asignatura a la que se destina y alcanza al conjunto de conocimientos, tanto teoricos como practicos, propios del area de composicion, es decir, a la historia, a la teoria y a la critica de la arquitectura.En el se contempla la diversidad de puntos de vista y horizontes sobre los que discurre la tarea de la composicion arquitectonica (naturaleza y arte, funcion, tecnica, forma, clasicismo y modernidad, espacio y tiempo, posmodernidad, etica y estetica), con objeto de ofrecer al lector una panoramica abierta sobre este oficio milenario.

Purpureae vestes estudia un elemento fundamental en la vida de cualquier sociedad antigua como es el vestido y los colores utilizados para el adorno del mismo, especialmente la púrpura. El lujo en el vestir implicaba el empleo de materiales como el oro para la confeccion de ciertos complementos. Con unos antecedentes claramente orientales de busqueda de la magnificencia externa de reyes y otros dignatarios, el simbolismo del color en el adorno personal constituyo, en las ciudades ribereñas del Mediterraneo, un factor importante de distincion social. Ya fueran de procedencia vegetal, mineral o animal, los tintes dieron siempre el alma a los textiles. Por ello, el poder imperial romano, en algunos periodos de su historia, controlo con normas legales de mayor o menor dureza el uso de determinados colores obtenidos a partir de gasteropodos marinos. La obra trata extensamente los aspectos economicos y tecnicos relacionados con la elaboracion y comercializacion de vestidos y telas para otros usos (velas, adornos del hogar, etc.). A partir de diversos puntos de vista, entre los que se incluyen los datos arqueologicos o las referencias etnografico-comparativas, se incide en las etapas de preparacion de las fibras textiles, en las formas de elaboracion de los tejidos mas complejos a traves de la reconstruccion experimental, en el trabajo de los pescadores y manufactureros que elaboraban en talleres costeros el tinte mas valorado, la purpura, o en quienes trabajaban en los talleres de la ciudad, asi como en el analisis y descripcion detallada de los resultados extraidos de los restos textiles aparecidos en yacimientos, del Egipto romano sobre todo, que nos muestran todavia hoy la riqueza y viveza de sus colores.

La arqueología es una ciencia social que ha tenido como objetivo primordial el estudio de las sociedades pasadas a partir de sus testimonios materiales ubicados en tiempo y espacio. A lo largo de su historia ha tendido puentes teoricos y empiricos con las ciencias exactas (como la fisica y la quimica), con las ciencias naturales (como la geologia y la biologia) y con ramas humanisticas (como la historia del arte o la filosofia), con el fin de enriquecer su bagaje teorico y para disponer de mejores herramientas analiticas. Este libro examina la demarcacion de la arqueologia mediante el estudio historico del desarrollo disciplinar y de la manera en que se ha conformado su marco conceptual a lo largo de su historia de 190 años. A partir de este analisis, se explica y se sostiene que la arqueologia es una ciencia hibrida que combina saberes de distintos campos del conocimiento y los adapta a sus propias necesidades.

This volume is the first in a four-part series presenting the final results of the Molyvoti, Thrace, Archaeological Project (MTAP), a Greek-American synergasia project in northern Greece. The project is centered on a site often referred to as "Ancient Stryme," which ancient sources identified as an emporion (trading post) and polis settled by Thasians. Focusing on the 2013-2015 field seasons, this volume offers a detailed presentation of the sites stratigraphy, material culture, and historical development. It proposes a revised chronology, including a 4th-century BCE reoccupation after destruction possibly associated with Philip of Macedon, and traces diachronic change through the Early Byzantine period. Among the projects notable discoveries is a complete Classical house--one of the few uncovered in Aegean Thrace--offering valuable insights into domestic architecture and material culture. An intensive urban survey sheds light on the citys 4th-century BCE fortifications and harbors, significantly enhancing our understanding of the scale and function of coastal settlements in the region. In the surrounding chora, the areas first geomorphological study examines landscape use and shifts in the ancient coastline. Contributions from more than 20 scholars present the sites architecture, stratigraphy, ceramics, small finds, and geographical data. Together, these studies illuminate Greek-Thracian interactions, patterns of settlement and trade, and environmental change from prehistory through the Early Byzantine era in this understudied region of the northern Aegean.

This volume presents the unique history of ancient Egypt through 50 artefacts discovered during excavations of the EES since its founding in 1882. They are brought together in this volume from global museums: from major collections as well as those that are a little less known. Readers will travel through three millennia of Egypts history from the Early Dynastic to the end of the Graeco-Roman Period uncovering the daily lives of the ancient Egyptians by investigating everyday items, as well as the elite objects of the ruling classes. Alongside these artefacts, further topics are unpacked relating to the history of Egypt and Egyptology as well as those characters that have played a role in the discovery of ancient Egypt. Each object entry is written by an expert in their field and contributions already include several items from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Metropolitan Museum in New York as well as the University Museum of Kyoto, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, and Bolton Museum.

This volume examines lending practices in Egypt during the Ptolemaic period (332-30 BCE), especially, but not exclusively, through the lens of the demotic loan-account papyri of Panas, son of Espmetis. It begins by introducing some of the issues associated with the history of ancient lending, and surveys previous discussions of lending practices in Ptolemaic Egypt. It then introduces the demotic loan-account papyri of Panas, and how they alter the current understanding of lending in Ptolemaic Egypt. The volume explores the contents of the papyri, placing them in their social, legal, and historical contexts, and concludes with a full edition of the papyri.

Erstmalig werden in diesem Beiheft Pyramidentexte behandelt, die den Schutz des Verstorbenen durch die Gottin Nut und seine sichere Reise ins Jenseits thematisieren. Die Verwendung dieser Texte wird im Zusammenhang mit den Ritualen betrachtet, die wahrend der Stundenwachen in der Nacht vor dem Begrabnis durchgefuhrt wurden, und untersucht die Uberlieferung der Texte vom Alten Reich bis in die griechisch-romische Zeit unter Berucksichtigung der spaten Belege in den ptolemaischen Tempeln von Dendera, Edfu und Philae.Fur eine moglichst vollstandige und umfassende Auswertung wird sodann ein innovativer interdisziplinarer Rahmen entwickelt, der sich nicht nur auf die traditionellen Methoden der Textkritik und der Stemmatisierung stutzt, sondern auch analytische Betrachtungen zu Kontext, Bedeutung und Nutzung der "New Philology" heranzieht. Zudem werden die phylogenetischen Beziehungen zwischen den Quellen und den intellektuellen und kulturellen Mechanismen, die bei der Verbreitung der Manuskripte eine Rolle spielten, grundlegend und vollstandig analysiert.

Harry Falks "Kushan Histories" discusses new research concerning the Kushan dynasty and is based on a Symposium held from December 5-7th, 2013 in Berlin. The first part of the book introduces the literary sources. After naming the primary sources and translations a wide range of texts presented chronologically gives an overview of the Kushan history in its totality. In the second part of "Kushan Histories" five papers deal with different religious, military and cultural aspects of the Kushan dynasty: How were the expansion of Buddhism and the dynasty linked to each other and which role did Zoroastrianism play among the Kushans? How can new geographical perspectives prove the former existence of a military camp of the Kushans north of the Bactra oasis? Which historical data regarding Kanishkas conquest of India can be drawn from a Bactrian inscription and what did the female deity Nana mean to the Kushans? This volume is the 23rd in the series "Monographien zur indischen Archaologie, Kunst und Philologie".

A century ago, Charles Leonard Woolley directed the first excavations at Amarna site M50.14-16, identifying it as a workshop for glass and faience. However, the archaeological record and its publication in The City of Akhenaten I were somewhat superficial. New excavations conducted by the Amarna Project in 2014 and 2017 yielded extensive evidence of glass-, faience-, stone-, and metalworking, reaffirming the sites role as a workshop. These investigations also illuminated its domestic character, uncovering valuable data on houses and other structural remains. This volume presents a near-complete record of the site, offering a comprehensive archaeological and architectural evaluation alongside in-depth analyses of material culture, including archaeobotany, charcoal, animal bones, ceramics, and other artefacts. The individual chapters reconstruct the chaines operatoires of various craft production activities. Additionally, the organisation of production and the concept of cross-craft interaction are explored, as the site is situated within the broader industrial network of Amarna. This volume furthermore provides an in-depth examination of the inhabitants roles and daily lives, enriching our understanding of this significant site.

This volume presents funerary and domestic remains from the Late Helladic (LH) period at the settlement of Lerna, an important prehistoric site on the Gulf of Argos excavated by the ASCSA in the 1950s. Most of the material derives from the fill of two disturbed shaft graves from the later half of the LH I period, whose large ceramic and faunal assemblages are complemented by finds from an additional nine graves and domestic remains. Stratigraphic analysis of the shaft graves and surrounding remains contextualize the ceramics and miscellaneous objects recorded in the accompanying catalogues. Analysis of the pottery establishes a clear subdivision of LH I table ware into two phases and suggests a close relationship between kin groups at Lerna and at Kolonna on Aigina. Contributions by Sturt Manning on radiocarbon dating of the shaft grave fills, Ian Whitbread and Hans Mommsen on petrographic and chemical analysis of the pottery, and David S. Reese on the faunal remains shed further light on this important material. The combined evidence suggests that Lerna was continually settled throughout the LH I period, with decline in the early LH IIA period and abandonment in the LH IIB period. While publication of intact monumental tombs often focuses on the elite occupants and their precious grave goods, the value of the Lerna shaft graves lies in what they reveal about the hundreds of living participants in the funerary rituals

Founded in 1881, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens is the oldest American overseas research institute. It has hosted and trained hundreds of classical scholars and archaeologists and more recently expanded its mission to include Byzantine and later Greek history and culture. This book, compiled by the Schools first female director in its 140 years, traces for the first time the growing presence and prestige of this academic facility, which sponsors the long-term excavations of ancient Corinth and the Athenian Agora as well as one of the most important laboratories for archaeological science in Europe.
