Taylor & Francis Wretched Kush Ethnic Identities and Boundries in Egypts Nubian Empire
Book SynopsisProfessor Smith uses Nubia as a case study to explore the nature of ethnic identity. Recent research suggests that ethnic boundaries are permeable, and that ethnic identities are overlapping. This is particularly true when cultures come into direct contact, as with the Egyptian conquest of Nubia in the second millennium BC. By using the tools of anthropology, Smith examines the Ancient Egyptian construction of ethnic identities with its stark contrast between civilized Egyptians and barbaric foreigners - those who made up the 'Wretched Kush' of the title.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Boundries and Ethnicity, Chapter 2 Ethnicity in Antiquity: Ethnicity: Essential or Situational?, Bourdieu's Habitus and Ethnic Identity, Otherness and Ethnicity in Ancient Egypt, Chapter 3 Ethnicity and Archaeology: Finding Ethnicity in the Archaeological Record, Foodways and Ethnic Identity, Death and Ethnic Identity, Askut and Tombos, Chapter 4 Egypt and Nubia: Imperial Strategies and Native Agency, Bronze Age Center-Periphery Dynamics, Nubia in the Second Millenium B.C, Chapter 5 Life in Askut: Architecture, Material Culture, Ritual Contexts, Chapter 6 Death at Tombos: Architecture, Grave Goods, Ritual Practice, Chapter 7 Ideology and the Pharaohs: History or Propaganda?, Ethnic Stereotypes and Legitimization, Wretched Kush: Transmission of Ethnic Stereotypes, Chapter 8 Ethnicity, Agency and Empire: Women & Foodways at Askut, Monumentality and Display at Tombos, Was Kush 'Wretched'?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Through the Pillars of Herakles GrecoRoman
Book SynopsisIn this first study of the Greek and Roman exploration for over half a century, Duane W. Roller presents an important examination of the impact of the Greeks and Romans on the world through the Pillars of Herakles and beyond the Mediterranean.Roller chronicles a detailed account of the series of explorers who were to discover the entire Atlantic coast; north to Iceland, Scandinavia and the Baltic, and south into the Africa tropics. His account examines these early pioneers and their discoveries, and contributes a brand new chapter to the history of exploration. Based not only on the literary evidence, but also personal knowledge of the areas from the Arctic to west Africa, the book looks at the people, from the earliest Greeks, through the Carthaginians to the Romans, and examines their exploration of this vast and largely unfamiliar territory.Discussing for the first time the relevance of Iceland and the Arctic to Greco-Roman culture, this groundbreaking work is an enthralling and informative read that will be an invaluable study resource for Greek and Roman history coursesTrade ReviewThe New Yorker-April 24,2006Briefly Noted section- review by Leo CareyThrough the Pillars of Herakles, by Duane W. Roller (Routledge; $100). There is no word in classical Greek or Latin that exactly matches our sense of "exploring", Roller says, but he thinks that ancient exploration beyond the Mediterranean has been underestimated. By the end of the fourth century B.C., the Greeks had sailed as far south as Zanzibar and as far north as Iceland (Roller's persuasive identification of the land of Thule, discovered by Pytheas). Much of Roller's work involves piecing together the evidence of coastline descriptions known as periplooi. He is wryly aware of the unreliability of many claims, some of which made even the writers of later antiquity incredulous. The explorer Mago said that he had circumnavigated Africa, but, Roller notes, "if this is the same person who claimed to have crossed the Sahara three times without drinking water, his veracity can hardly be presumed."'Roller has performed a useful service in bringing together material that is scattered about in various chapters in the general histories of ancient geography and exploration and in updating it with the results of recent studies.' – International Journal of Nautical Archaeology'Roller has performed a useful service in bringing together material that is scattered about in various chapters in the general histories of ancient geography and exploration and in updating it with the results of recent studies.' – International Journal of Nautical ArchaeologyTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Greece in the Making 1200479 BC
Book SynopsisGreece in the Making 1200â479 BC is an accessible and comprehensive account of Greek history from the end of the Bronze Age to the Classical Period. The first edition of this book broke new ground by acknowledging that, barring a small number of archaic poems and inscriptions, the majority of our literary evidence for archaic Greece reported only what later writers wanted to tell, and so was subject to systematic selection and distortion. This book offers a narrative which acknowledges the later traditions, as traditions, but insists that we must primarily confront the contemporary evidence, which is in large part archaeological and art historical, and must make sense of it in its own terms. In this second edition, as well as updating the text to take account of recent scholarship and re-ordering, Robin Osborne has addressed more explicitly the weaknesses and unsustainable interpretations which the first edition chose merely to pass over. He now spells out wTrade Review'The present second edition...is perhaps the most up-dated and the most systematic of all such syntheses currently available in English.' - PalamedesTable of Contents1. The Traditions of History 2. Setting the Stage 3. The Problem of Beginnings 4. Forming Communities: The Eighth Century BC 5. The World of Hesiod and of Homer 6. Reforming Communities: The Seventh Century BC 7. The Greek World in 600BC 8. Inter-Relating Cities: The Short Sixth Century (600–520 BC) 9. The Transformation of Archaic Greece 520–479 BC

Taylor & Francis Ltd Formative Britain
Book SynopsisFormative Britain presents an account of the peoples occupying the island of Britain between 400 and 1100 AD, whose ideas continue to set the political agenda today. Forty years of new archaeological research has laid bare a hive of diverse and disputatious communities of Picts, Scots, Welsh, Cumbrian and Cornish Britons, Northumbrians, Angles and Saxons, who expressed their views of this world and the next in a thousand sites and monuments.This highly illustrated volume is the first book that attempts to describe the experience of all levels of society over the whole island using archaeology alone. The story is drawn from the clothes, faces and biology of men and women, the images that survive in their poetry, the places they lived, the work they did, the ingenious celebrations of their graves and burial grounds, their decorated stone monuments and their diverse messages. This ground-breaking account is aimed at students and archaeological researchers at all levels in the academic and commercial sectors. It will also inform relevant stakeholders and general readers alike of how the islands of Britain developed in the early medieval period. Many of the ideas forged in Britainâs formative years underpin those of today as the UK seeks to find a consensus programme for its future.Trade Review"…it is a pleasure to enjoy an extended synthesis produced by a deep thinker who has done so much to frame the ways in which students (writ large) of the early medieval period think about their material." – Chris Fowler, Antiquity"The range of location and example is extraordinary, with excellent referencing and a comprehensive bibliography. As a teaching aid, it should be welcomed; as a student’s introduction to the fast-changing perceptions and understandings of this well-named ‘formative’ period in Britain’s history, it will be a valued primer…Formative Britain is a great achievement." – Brian Ayers, The Journal of the Historical Association"This is a magnificent book that truly does justice to the study of post-Roman Britain. It celebrates the enormous wealth of information at the archaeologist’s (and historian’s) disposal beyond those written texts which have long determined the narrative of this epoch…There is so much to admire in Carver’s thesis. This is a vivid narrative which has largely evaded the shadow of the canon". – Richard Hodges, Medieval ArchaeologyTable of ContentsCONTENTSList of figuresList of abbreviationsPicture creditsPrefaceChapter 1 Inheritance: landscapes and predecessorsChapter 2: Looking for personhood: physique and adornmentChapter 3: Working from home: settlement and economiesChapter 4 Addressing eternity: cemeteries as ritual placesChapter 5 Monumentality: sculpture, churches and illuminated booksChapter 6: Materiality of words: myths and recordsChapter 7 Narratives – reflections - legaciesReferences Index
