Peeters Publishers Sculture di Metallo da Nisa: Cultura Greca E
Book SynopsisThe post-war excavations carried out at Nisa, the only capital of the Parthian empire known to us from excavations, and situated not far from Ashgabat, the modern capital of Turkmenistan, produced a mass of extraordinary results and a large amount of information on several aspects of Arsacid court life. A number of masterpieces stand out among the remains of the furnishing of the royal palaces. Representations of great interest decorated objects of various kinds: small sculptures and appliques of gilded silver or bronze were mounted on metal vessels, parade arms and other artefacts. These objects were probably manufactured in Central Asia by skilled artisans working for the court. Several of these works are products of purely Hellenistic art in their iconography and style, others show a close relationship with the animal art of the steppes. In all cases, they are highly original documents, showing that there was a lively interaction between Greek and Iranian culture at the court of the early Arsacids at Nisa.

Peeters Publishers Geoarchaeology of the Landscapes of Classical
Book SynopsisGeoarchaeology, narrowly defined, is the use of the concepts, methods, and knowledge base of the earth sciences in the direct solution of archaeological problems. In the past, a majority of geoarchaeological researches have been concerned with the pre- and protohistorian phases of Man's antiquity. During the last two decades, however many regional archaeological surveys, which have procured data about settlement behaviour and forms of land use in ancient Greek and Roman times, have more and more integrated geomorphologic studies in their research. It seems that now also many scholars of the classical past are convinced that to tackle problems and questions concerning rural site formation processes, surface visibility, ancient land division, settlement location, etc. we need to fully integrate geomorphology and other earth sciences in the objectives and approach. In the present proceedings one may find contributions from many different areas, ranging from west to east, from Spain over Belgium and France, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Turkey, southern Russia to Jordan. The range of applications include amongst others: GIS studies, aerial photography, stereoscopic very high resolution satellite imagery, stratigraphic analysis, palynology, artefact distribution analysis, total station surveying techniques, road network and cadastre analysis, site degradation studies, coastline reconstruction and erosion studies.

Peeters Publishers EK 8184. Tome III: Explorations Aux Qoucour
Book SynopsisCe volume de 779 p. dont 111 planches photographiques en couleur, illustre de 497 figures au trait donnees dans le texte ou dans l'un des 25 depliants de releves reunis, avec 3 plans, dans un coffret annexe, presente les resultats de sept campagnes de fouilles menees de 1981 a 1990 sur 10 ermitages de cette agglomeration monastique des Kellia.

Dans un important chapitre de synthese intitule "Kirche und Diakonia: Gemeinschaftsraume in den Eremitagen der Qusur el-'Izeila", G. Descoeudres etudie les dispositifs architecturaux et les pratiques religieuses que revelent les salles communautaires, tantot agapeia, tantot eglises, qui marquent l'evolution de la vie monastique d'un ascetisme eremitique vers une pratique plus communautaire et plus ouverte aux pelerins.

Peeters Publishers What Athens Has to Do with Jerusalem: Essays on
Book SynopsisIn the present volume, scholars from Europe, the United States, and Israel join forces to honor a most esteemed colleague and friend, Gideon Foerster, professor of classical archaeology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The essays included in this volume all present new archaeological, epigraphical, and literary evidence, which derives from a variety of sites including Jerusalem, Qumran, the Gaza strip, Samaria-Sebaste, Caesarea, Beth Shean, the Galilee, and several sites outside the Land of Israel. The book is not only essential for those wishing to familiarize themselves with the latest discoveries and developments in the field of classical, Jewish, and early Christian archaeology. It is also a valuable resource for scholars interested in the larger historical question of how Jews interacted with their non-Jewish contemporaries during Roman, late antique, and early medieval times.

Peeters Publishers Sasanian Seals and Sealings in the A. Saeedi
Book SynopsisMost of the Sasanian seals published in this catalogue have been in the Saeedi family collection for several decades. The collection, however, has continued to grow since this publication was conceived, with more seals being added to it as the opportunity arose. The 131 seals included here are only a small part of the collection, and the sample applies to the clay sealings covered in this work. Where more than one sealing bears the same impression, we have contented ourselves with reproducing one well-preserved specimen, or, where necessary, two less well-preserved ones. This work, therefore, does not include all the sealings cited in my previous work on administrative seals. A concordance between those cited in that work and those published here is instead provided. Comprising as it does some 463 clay sealings, at least half of which bear the seals of administrative bodies or high-ranking dignitaries, this collection is the richest ever to have been published.

Peeters Publishers Tribes and Territories in Transition: The Central
Book SynopsisThis volume deals with the transition from the Late Bronze to the Early Iron Age in the central East Jordan Valley, the period of the fall of the Egyptian New Kingdom, and of the birth of a new era, in which small kingdoms such as Ammon, Moab and Israel were born. A broad spectrum of sources is being reviewed: written evidence, excavations and surveys, and ethnographic sources from the 19th century and later. New archaeological evidence is being presented, including a report on the excavations of Tell el-Hammeh on the Zerqa. This evidence, written, material and ethnographical, is incorporated in a new model for the LB-IA transition in the region: a model that explains the events of this turbulent period as the precipitation of a tribal society, where the interactions of tribes and territories determined the political lay-out and shaped the kingdoms of the Iron Age.

Peeters Publishers In Het Land Der Nijlcataracten (1883): Ingeleid
Book SynopsisDe negentiende eeuw is de Gouden Eeuw voor de ontwikkeling van de egyptologie als wetenschap. De exploratie van het faraonische Egypte was een internationaal avontuur waarin Frankrijk en Engeland de hoofdrol speelden. Toch waren er ook enkele Nederlanders bij betrokken. Een van hen was Jan Herman Insinger (1854-1918), die bijna veertig jaar in Egypte woonde en werkte. Desalniettemin is hij relatief onbekend gebleven, en egyptologen kennen meestal slechts de naar hem genoemde Papyrus Insinger, nu in het Rijksmuseum van Oudheden te Leiden. Insinger verdient grotere bekendheid. Als fervent reiziger, fotograaf en kunsthandelaar kende hij Egypte als geen ander. Hij was bevriend met de meeste wetenschappers van zijn tijd en zijn brieven geven een goed inzicht in het archeologische wereldje van rond 1900. Insingers verzamelingen vormden de belangrijke verrijkingen voor het Leidse museum en zijn foto's zijn soms de eerste documentatie bij recente vondsten van de Egyptische oudheidkundige dienst. Door een gelukkig toeval is ook tenminste een van Insingers reisverslagen bewaard gebleven. Het betreft hier het journaal van een reis door het Sudanese deel van het oude Nubie in 1883. Ondanks zijn tuberculose en zich niets aantrekkend van de politieke situatie maakte Insinger deze reis alleen, slechts vergezeld door wat inheemse gidsen en kameeldrijvers. Het is een aangrijpend verslag over een ook bij archeologen relatief onbekende landstreek aan de vooravond van de Mahdistische opstand die de Sudan bijna 15 jaar zou verlammen. Naast beschrijvingen van land en volk, geologie en waterstaat, flora en fauna bevat de tekst ook aantekeningen over de geheimzinnige monumenten van de diverse Nubische culturen. Het feit dat dit hele land nu ten onder is gegaan in het stuwmeer van de Aswandam maakt dit ooggetuigeverslag extra waardevol.

Peeters Publishers Hamam - Commentary on the Book of Proverbs:
Book SynopsisThis is the first translation of the late ninth-century Armenian commentary on the Book of Proverbs by Hamam, who is better known for his commentary on grammar. Armenian biblical exegesis is a little explored field, and this is one of the earliest surviving examples of the commentary genre. The text survives in a single manuscript, first published in Erevan in 1994. The Armenian text presented here is re-edited on the basis of a new reading of Matenadaran 1151. In the introduction Professor Thomson places this commentary in the context of Armenian theological tradition, contrasting Hamam's approach with the few surviving earlier Armenian biblical commentaries. He also notes the differences between Hamam and the previous major Greek and Syrian patristic commentators. The notes to the English translation elucidate textual and other problems. Two later Armenian commentaries on Proverbs exist, by Nerses of Lambron and Grigor of Tat'ev. Parallels and differences between the three texts are highlighted and discussed. This is a significant contribution to an aspect of Armenian theological tradition which has been little studied, but is now attracting increasing attention.

Peeters Publishers Nush-i Jan I: The Major Buildings of the Median
Book SynopsisThis first fascicule of the Final Report on the excavations at Tepe Nush-i Jan, located some 60 km south of Hamadan, provides a detailed account of the five seasons of excavation conducted between 1967 and 1977 as well as a comprehensive description of the temples and associated buildings belonging to the site's main Median occupation. The importance of the site lies principally in the architectural remains constructed in the eighth and seventh centuries BC when the Medes were the dominant population in central western Iran. In the order in which they were built, the monumental buildings of this hill-top sanctuary include an originally isolated tower-like temple which housed a stepped altar on which fire was burnt, a second temple, a strongly fortified storage facility, and a columned hall with three rows of four columns - a forerunner of the famed columned halls of the Persians at Pasargadae and Persepolis. In a remarkable development most of these distinctive structures came to be at least partly filled and encased with stones and mud-brick. As a result, the buildings proved to be in an exceptional state of preservation with intact doorways and, on occasion, intact ceilings as well. Subsequently, probably in the sixth century BC, squatters occupied those structures to which they could still obtain access. Before Tepe Nush-i Jan was investigated there was little or no evidence for the archaeology of the Medes from their own homeland. Today other sites, such as Godin Tepe and Ozbaki Tepe (not to mention fortified 'frontier posts' such as Tell Gubba), can be recognized as belonging to the same culture. Above all else, Nush-i Jan offers a striking picture of the achievements of the Medes, particularly in the field of architecture.

Peeters Publishers Chagar Bazar (Syrie) III: Les Trouvailles
Book SynopsisLe troisieme volume des rapports sur les nouvelles fouilles de Chagar Bazar, engagees depuis 1999, contient la publication complete des 214 tablettes cuneiformes et des centaines de scellements portant des empreintes de sceaux-cylindres, datant de la periode paleo-babylonienne, mis au jour dans le chantier I entre 2000 et 2002. On y trouvera aussi une premiere description des contextes de trouvailles. Les informations obtenues par l'etude de ces documents, dont la plupart appartenait aux archives palatiales du regne du roi Samsi-Addu, eclairent d'un jour nouveau le lot de tablettes paleo-babyloniennes decouvertes par M. Mallowan en 1936 et 1937. This third excavation report on the new excavations at Chagar Bazar, which were resumed in 1999, contains the complete publication of the 214 Old Babylonian cuneiform tablets and hundreds of sealings bearing cylinder-seal impressions discovered in Area I between 2000 and 2002. The contexts of the discoveries are also briefly described. Most of the tablets belong to the palatial archives from the reign of the king Samsi-Addu and the information gathered through the study of the texts sheds new light on the understanding of the Old Babylonian tablets discovered by M. Mallowan in 1936 and 1937.

Peeters Publishers Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum: State Pushkin Museum
Book SynopsisThe book deals with the numismatic collection of one of Russia's principal musea, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. Created initially as Moscow University Museum it houses various archaeological collections, plaster casts and antiquities as well as coins and medals. The numismatic collection of the Pushkin Museum is one of the oldest in Russia. It has been built up since the middle of the 18th century, and, along with those of the State Historical Museum in Moscow and the State Hermitage in St Petersburg, is now one of the biggest in the country. Greek and Roman coins form an important part of the numismatic material stored in the Museum. This book provides a detailed description of almost 2000 coins struck in the Greek cities of the Northern Black Sea Littoral between the end of the 6th century BC and the 4th century AD. Descriptions are given according to the format of the Sylloge series initiated by the British Academy in the last century. Each coin is illustrated. The catalogue contains many rare pieces and for the first time makes this material available to Western scholars. A brief history of the collection is provided.

Peeters Publishers The Coinage of the Phoenician City of Tyre in the
Book SynopsisHere is the long-awaited corpus on Tyrian coinage in the Persian period (4th-5th cent. BCE), containing a chronological catalogue of 1,814 silver and bronze coins. Besides the usual numismatic analysis (monetary production, volume of emissions, manufacturing techniques and processes...), the authors have also studied the monetary inscriptions and iconography. They focused on using their own statistical data, reaching many interesting metrological conclusions. The Tyrian workshop was innovative, in that around 388 BCE it inaugurated a yearly dating system. This book is also an important historical volume on Tyre and on the Persians' western policy, based on the results of a numismatic analysis, combined with all the other sources: in particular, the city's significant difficulties in the first part of the 4th cent. and its prosperity during the reign of King Ozmilk (347-333/2), in stark contrast to the decay of Sidon at that time.

Peeters Publishers Die Grabreliefs Aus Dem Bosporanischen Reich
Book SynopsisThe book discusses the grave stelai and grave reliefs from the Bosporan kingdom. Occupying the eastern Crimea and the Taman Peninsula on the northern shore of the Black Sea, this ancient Greek state was situated in an important contact zone of the ancient Greek world. The permanent interaction of Greeks and indigenous peoples (the Scythians, others and later the Sarmatians) in this region resulted in a dynamic local culture. Subjected to long-term acculturation processes, this culture reflected elements of Greek and indigenous traditions. In this respect, the grave stelai erected in Bosporan necropoleis and their numerous relief depictions dating from the 5th century BC to the 3rd century AD are a unique source: they provide us not only with pictorial evidence for local identities, but are, ultimately, also of great value for our understanding of the development and transformation of this local culture in general. The book deals with problems of typology, stylistic developments and the (re-)evaluation of the chronology of the reliefs. A major part focuses on analysis of imagery of relief stelai (mainly from the 2nd century BC to the 2nd century AD) and the development and originality of the iconography compared with monuments from Greece, Asia Minor and the neighbouring Greek cities of the northern Pontic region (e.g. Chersonesos). Increasingly dominant local iconographic solutions, such as the famous depictions of horsemen or soldiers, are discussed and are interpreted in the context of role-models and value-systems. Particular attention is also paid to questions concerning the validity of ethnic interpretations and the reflexes and deliberate use of contemporary local material culture in iconography. In addition, an attempt is made to embed the monuments in the context of the local funerary culture, i.e. the contemporary Bosporan necropoleis with their manifold forms of sepulchral self-representation. Consideration of epigraphic and literary evidence seeks to shed further light on the cultural and social dimension of these developments and phenomena. A comprehensive catalogue of over 1200 published grave monuments, including detailed descriptions, bibliographical references and information about find-spots etc. (based on analysis of literature and study in relevant archives and museums) completes the publication.
