Nederlands Instituut voor het Nabije Oosten (NINO) Zur Chronologie der Kaufmannsarchive aus der
Book SynopsisAs the title shows, the book is generally divided into two parts. The first chapters provide the reader with an outline towards the general situation of Old Assyrian archival studies followed by a study of 6 of the most important archives under a chronological point of view. Based on their occurrences in dated documents the most prominent members and partners of the firms in discussion are set into the chronological frame as given by the newly published Kültepe eponym lists. It is one of the intents of the study to lay the foundation for further work, e.g. research on the developments of prices, legal documents etc. The second part of the book consists of extensive list with the references of the year- and week-eponyms from the published and numerous unpublished texts of Kārum Kaneš level 2. These are given in clearly arranged tables, with discussion of every single year-eponym. If known the family-relationships of each is given, so that many of the most important families of old Assyrian Assur become far better known than was possible before. Concordances between the Kültepe eponym lists, the Mari eponym chronicle and the new lists in this book are added. The book concludes with a chapter on the week-eponym (etymology, system) followed by the indices.

Nederlands Instituut voor het Nabije Oosten (NINO) Dating Late XIXth Dynasty Ostraca
Book SynopsisSince many ostraca from the environs of Deir el-Medina lack specific regnal year dates, dating them precisely is a tricky business. This volume attempts to provide comparative datings for 78 ostraca (and papyri) from the late XIXth dynasty. The method draws explicitly on the division of the gang into two sides and, crucially, makes full use (for the first time) of the specific ordering of workmen’s names to be found in documentation from this period. The archaeological context of the important body of late XIXth dynasty material from the Valley of the Kings is investigated and it is shown that the datings proposed here on comparative grounds correlate strongly with the grouping of the ostraca by excavation and find-site. The work is supported by a comprehensive index of the workmen by source and a concordance comparing the datings suggested here with those from other standard reference resources.

Nederlands Instituut voor het Nabije Oosten (NINO) Waar de geschiedenis begon: Nederlandse
Book SynopsisDe oude culturen van Egypte en het Nabije Oosten zijn onze voorlopers. Hier ontwikkelden zich o.a. het alfabet, godsdienstige voorstellingen, literatuur en wetten, die de wortels van onze beschaving vormen. In Nederland is de studie van onze oudste geschiedenis al 75 jaar lang verbonden met het Nederlands Instituut voor het Nabije Oosten (NINO). Ter gelegenheid van dit jubileum beschrijven de auteurs van dit boek de veelzijdige werkzaamheden die zijzelf of andere Nederlandse onderzoekers verrichten bij opgravingen in Egypte en het Nabije Oosten en de studie van de oude culturen aan Nederlandse universiteiten. Ook komen de rijke museumcollecties in Nederland aan de orde. Het is voor het eerst dat de archeologen en onderzoekers zelf de ontwikkelingen in hun vakgebied beschrijven, en zo laten zien wat de Nederlandse bijdrage is geweest bij de studie van de landen waar de geschiedenis begon.

Peeters Publishers Archaeology of the Countryside in Medieval
Book SynopsisThis book is a publication of the acts of a symposium held at the NINO in 2008 on the archaeology of the countryside in medieval Anatolia. The articles examine different aspects of the medieval Anatolian countryside, which prior to this symposium, had not been a separate focus of research. The articles largely concentrate on the results of recent excavations or archaeological and architectural surveys and include more general overviews of sites, as well as specialized studies focusing on different aspects, such as pottery, mortuary practices and paleoecology. All of the different studies demonstrate the complexity and diversity of the medieval Anatolian countryside.

Peeters Publishers Correlates of Complexity: Essays in Archaeology
Book SynopsisCorrelates of Complexity is a tribute to Diederik J.W. Meijer as a scholar, archaeologist, and friend, by an international group of scholars from Britain, Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Syria, Turkey, and the USA, on the occasion of his 65th birthday. The contributions range from the Neolithic to the Iron Age, with articles on cylinder seals, architecture, nomadism, art, Old Assyrian and Ugaritic texts, economic and cultural history, and include case studies from Armenia, Greece, Turkey, Syria, and Palestine. A general aspect, reflected in several papers, concerns the rise and articulation of complex societies in the ancient Near East, a topic which has been at the centre of Meijer’s research interests throughout his career. Another prominent aspect addressed in this volume is the modern relevance of the ancient Near East. Several papers deal with the social reworking of data on the ancient Near East, its relevance for modern economic theory, and heritage management. Authors: Peter M.M.G. Akkermans, Merel Brüning, Akemi Kaneda, John Bintliff , Dominique Collon, Ben Claasz Coockson, Theo De Feyter, Jan Gerrit Dercksen, Bleda S. Düring, Jesper Eidem, Uwe and Brigitte Finkbeiner, Gerrit van der Kooij, Hartmut Kühne, Michel Al-Maqdissi, Eva Ishaq, Paolo Matthiae, Joan Oates, Ferhan Sakal, Wilfred H. van Soldt, Folkert van Straten, Klaas R. Veenhof, David Warburton, and Arne Wossink. Researchers and students of the ancient Near East will find much of interest in the collection of essays by an international group of both junior and established scholars.

Peeters Publishers Reading Rubbish: Using Object Assemblages to
Book SynopsisAround the year 1230 BC Assyrian forces conquered the area of modern North Syria. To consolidate power in the region, and to make use of its agricultural potential, numerous farming settlements were founded. One such settlement, a so-called dunnu, has been discovered and excavated at Tell Sabi Abyad, Syria. The settlement was relatively large and appears to have been heavily fortified. This study investigates the activities carried out in the settlement, and its function, through analysis of the objects found in the various rooms and courtyards. The mode of their deposition is subject to rigorous investigation: were these objects discarded as garbage, or were they left behind during rapid abandonment following some catastrophe? This approach has resulted in a re-evaluation of the nature and use of the Tell Sabi Abyad dunnu, and has aided in altering the understanding of how the Assyrian Empire consolidated its power in newly conquered areas.

Nederlands Instituut voor het Nabije Oosten (NINO) The Ezida Temple of Borsippa: Priesthood, Cult,
Book SynopsisThis book provides an insight into the world of the priests of the Ezida temple in Borsippa, covering the period when this sanctuary dedicated to the god Nabû was Babylonia’s second most important place of worship (c. 750-484 BC). The backbone of the book is the extensive corpus of cuneiform texts that these priests have left behind. Discovered in the 19th century, these archives have largely remained unstudied. Apart from offering an edition of the texts (Part II), this study reconstructs the professional and social lives of Nabû’s priests, and outlines the workings of the cult of a major Babylonian deity (Part I). A dvd-rom with digital photographs of edited texts is included.

Peeters Publishers Studies in Ancient Hebrew Semantics
Book SynopsisThis publication is a collection of studies devoted to various aspects of the semantics and lexicography of Ancient Hebrew. All contributions except the last two were originally delivered as papers to a symposium held in July 1994 at Leiden University. The symposium rounded off a three-year-long international network funded by the European Science Foundation under the leadership of Prof. Dr. J. Hoftijzer, from whose contribution to the present volume one may gain an insight into the conception and philosophy of the research project and its history so far. This volume will, in addition to some earlier publications which have appeared in the Zeitschrift fur Althebraistik, give the reader some idea of the general thinking which has assisted the authors in the formulation of their approach to the task lying before them. It ought to be emphasised, however, that all the studies appearing in this volume ought to be of interest to any Hebraist and Old Testament scholar, for they are hardly "in-house" publications, but address some important aspects of the Ancient Hebrew semantics and lexicography.

NUS Press Early Theravadin Cambodia: Perspectives from Art
Book SynopsisA crucial reference for historians of Southeast Asia and those with a serious interest in the Buddhism and Buddhist art of Southeast Asia. What explains the spread of Theravada Buddhism? And how is it entangled with the identity shifts that over the next four hundred years gave rise to the Buddhist state now called Cambodia? Early Theravadin Cambodia sheds light on one of the outstanding questions of Southeast Asian history: the nature and timing of major cultural and political shifts in the territory that was to become Cambodia, starting in the 13th century. This important collection challenges the conventional picture of Theravada as taking root in the void left by the collapse of Angkor and its Hindu-Buddhist power structure. Written by a diverse group of scholars from Cambodia, Thailand, the United States, France, Australia, and Japan, this volume is a sustained, collaborative discussion of evidence from art and archaeology, and how it relates to questions of Buddhist history, regional exchange networks, and ethnopolitical identities. Accessibly written and vividly illustrated, the book will be a crucial reference for historians of Southeast Asia and scholars of Buddhism.Table of Contents Introduction: Early Theravadin Cambodia: Terms of Engagement Chapter 1: Angkor and Theravada Buddhism: Some Considerations Chapter 2: Reading and Interpreting Jataka Tales during the Angkorian Period Chapter 3: The Buddha Sculptures of Tham Phra (Buddha Cave): Implications for Understanding the Complex Religious Atmosphere of Western Thailand during the Early Second Millennium CE Chapter 4: A Brief Overview of Key Theravada Buddhist Sculptures in Central Angkor from the 13th to 18th Centuries Chapter 5: New Evidence at Western Prasat Top, Angkor Thom Chapter 6: Back to the Future: The Emergence of Past and Future Buddhas in Khmer Buddhism Chapter 7: 17th- and 18th-Century Images of the Buddha from Ayutthaya and Lan Xang at Angkor Wat
