Dabei steht die Untersuchung der archäologischen Quellen und Hinterlassenschaften der kretischen Bevölkerung im Mittelpunkt, um Fragen nach der Stratifizierung der Gesellschaft nachzugehen und die politische Situation auf der Insel zu klären. Auch werden Aspekte der Wirtschaft und des Handels, sowie der Religion und des Kultes als Bestandteile des alltäglichen Lebens betrachtet, soweit sie archäologisch fassbar sind.Die chronologische Spanne der bearbeiteten Epoche umfasst die Phase Spätminoisch IIIC und die Subminoische Zeit, also den Abschnitt der kretischen Prähistorie nach dem endgültigen Zusammenbruch der mykenischen Palastkultur um 1200 v. Chr., die nach der Zerstörung der minoischen Paläste um 1490 v. Chr, auch die Kontrolle über die Insel Kreta innehatte.Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchungen spiegeln gleichermaßen ein Bild von Kontinuität und Wandel wider, welches alle Bereiche des täglichen Lebens betrifft.

Eine große Zahl von Hausbefunden verdeutlicht, daß die Masse der minoischen Bevölkerung eben nicht in den Villen und Palästen, sondern in bescheideneren Bauten lebte und, wie gezeigt wird, auch dort arbeitete. Der Haushalt als soziale Einheit und die hauswirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten, die im Rahmen dieser Einheit zum Alltag gehörten, werden dargestellt. Dies kann nur auf der Basis der ergrabenen Wohnhäuser und der darin gemachten Einbauten und Funde geschehen. Eine theoretische Erläuterung der Erforschung von Haushalten in der Archäologie geht dem chronologisch geordneten Hauptteil voran. Im Hauptteil werden Befunde der Vor- und Altpalastzeit angerissen, der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Neupalastzeit. Wohnhäuser verschiedener Größe und in unterschiedlichen Siedlungskontexten (palatial, nichtpalatial, freistehend, aneinandergrenzend) werden beschrieben und ausgewertet. Ein aufgrund der spärlichen Quellenlage sehr viel weniger umfangreicher Teil befaßt sich mit den ikonographischen Zeugnissen, die Aufschluß über Haushalt und Alltag geben können. Eine umfassende Auswertung erweitert die Perspektive auf das Wirtschaftssystem der Haushalte und damit der minoischen Gesellschaft. Es zeigt sich, daß die unbedingte Voraussetzung für eine lohnende Erforschung archäologischer Haushalte eine detaillierte Dokumentation des Hausbefundes ist. Selbst dann können jedoch über die soziale Dimension des Haushaltes, seine Größe und Zusammensetzung, kaum Aussagen getroffen werden."

Much of the looting evidence has been anecdotal up to now, but here satellite imagery has been employed to show which sites were looted and when. Sites of all sizes from late Uruk to early Islamic were targeted for their high value artifacts, particularly just before and after the 2003 invasion. The author comments that the "total area looted was many times greater than all the archaeological investigations ever conducted in southern Iraq and must have yielded tablets, coins, cylinder seals, statues, terracottas, bronzes and other objects in the hundreds of thousands."

The separation of Hellenistic from Roman is somewhat arbitrary and begins here with the forms Dressel 1, Dressel 2-4 and Dressel 6. In the references, “Middle Roman” amphoras are classified according to the typology established by Riley (1982) at Benghazi, ancient Berenice. “Late Roman Amphora” indicates use of the overlapping typology developed at Carthage (Riley 1981), itself derived from earlier work at Caesarea (Riley 1975). Of the types defined by Riley, MRA 5 and MRA 7 are relatively common in the late second and third centuries. MRA 5 begins to appear in the late second century. Slane (2004:364-365) suggests that the introduction of MRA 7 be dated to the early third century. Martin (2000:429-430) records the form as still in use at Olympia in the late fourth century. There are two main fabrics of this form: one brown with frequent light angular inclusions, the other brick-red with occasional dark rounded stones visible in the fabric and on the surface. A third fabric, so far represented by a single sherd with dark surface, also appears below. Pontic amphoras occur in middle roman deposits at Troia. The one-handled MRA 3, known as "micaceous water jar", likewise occurs regularly. Its two handled successor, LRA 3, is present in later levels. Two "pinched handle" amphoras, one perhaps in Cilician fabric, are described below; as is a single Cretan amphora. In the later series of eastern Mediterranean amphoras, the Cilician/Cypriot LRA 1, Aegean LRA 2, W. Anatolian LRA 3, and Gazan LRA 4 all appear at Ilion. No examples of LRA 5/6 or LRA 7 have been recorded.

In my PhD dissertation I analyse the entire corpus of Late Bronze Age pottery found during the Tiryns (Argolid, Greece) excavations of 1999/2000 under the direction of J. Maran in cooperation with A. Papadimitriou in the Northeastern Lower Town area of the Mycenaean citadel. Within this work, the presentation of the finds is preceded by methodological considerations, including defining what is meant by the terms ‘continuity’ and ‘change,, justifying the relevance of taking analogical and ethnoarchaeological approaches in exploring this subject as well as outlining the chronological method applied.The second chapter subjects the existing chronological systems for the Post-Palatial Period (e.g. those of E.B. French, E.S. Sherratt, J.B. Rutter, P.A. Mountjoy, C. Podzuweit) to a critical analysis. This results in the creation of my own consistent system for the phases Late Helladic III B2 until LH III C Late.Chapter Three starts with the classification of the pottery wares into broad groups (i.e. painted fineware, unpainted fineware, cooking ware, coarse ware, handmade burnished ware, imported wares) and an analysis of the site formation processes. The pottery of all five Post-Palatial settlement phases is covered, spanning the whole Post-Palatial Period from its beginning around 1200 B.C. until its end around 1050 B.C. (Late Helladic III C Early, Middle and Late). 2435 objects are illustrated in this context.Taking this material culture evidence as a starting point, the fourth and fifth chapters document comparative analysis of pottery production. They also consider the social meaning of pottery as a foreign object and within the context of feasting and household consumption in the Palatial and the Post-Palatial Period. The results from the first two settlement phases (Late Helladic III C Early) are of special importance in this regard. At the beginning of the Post-Palatial Period, the inhabitants in the Northeastern Lower Town obviously took antique dishes out of the old chamber tombs to bestow their feasting dishes with a time-honoured appearance. In the second settlement phase, a destruction by fire led to the preservation of the complete ceramic inventory of an elite household. The types of vessels found and their spatial distribution, demonstrate that this fire broke out during feasting activity. Therefore, this context provides an exceptional insight into the social spaces in which the Post-Palatial elite performed. The integration of exotic and hybrid ceramic objects among the feasting dishes reveals information about the structures of elite self-representation. Conversely, the spatial distribution of the so-called handmade burnished ware demonstrates that the use of this pottery was probably restricted to Italian immigrants. The material culture of these immigrants was obviously kept away from both public and private representative contexts of the Mycenaean Palatial and Post-Palatial Period. A holistic analysis of Mycenaean pottery, thus, permits completely new insights to be made into the cultural history of Mycenaean Greece."

Özdogan, Istanbul University). The site was excavated between 1999-2004. The faunal remains were analyzed for the work described above. More than 34,900 (165.21 kg bones) animal bones were recovered from the Neolithic levels. A total of 10,930 of them have been identified to taxon and element. Sheep/goat, pig and cattle predominate. They represent all together about 96% of the identified faunal remains. Over time the proportions of the taxa indicate few differences. The size diminution of the animal bones and the survival curves based on epiphyseal fusion indicate that sheep, goat, pig and cattle were probably domesticated at high percentage rates. Domestic sheep and goat played an increasingly important role in the economy of the site. There is a strong possibility that sheep and goat were not domesticated locally but were brought to the site as domesticated animals. In contrast to the ovicaprids, cattle and pig appeared to have been domesticated locally. The hunting of wild animals (with a focus on gazelle, but also on fallow deer and half ass) continued throughout the PN, but did not play an important role in the subsistence economy at Mezraa-Teleilat. Pig skeletons were found in the PN levels, providing evidence that these animals were kept in the settlement.Kurzfassung in Englisch: Die Siedlung Mezraa-Teleilat liegt in der Provinz Sanli Urfa, 5 km südlich von Birecik in Südostanatolien. Die Ausgrabungen erbrachten eine Sequenz vom akeramischen bis zum keramischen Neolithikum (Ausgrabungen unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. M. Özdogan, Universität Istanbul). Die Feldarbeiten fanden von 1999 bis 2004 statt. Für die vorliegende Doktorarbeit wurden die Tierknochen ausgewertet. Mehr als 34.900 (165,21 kg) Knochen aus den neolithischen Schichten wurden analysiert. 10.930 von ihnen konnten tierartlich bestimmt werden. Demnach dominieren Schaf/Ziege, Schwein und Rind. Sie haben einen Anteil von ca. 96%. Im Laufe der Besiedlungszeit am Fundplatz ändern sich die Anteile der Tierarten geringfügig. Sie deuten darauf hin, dass Schaf, Ziege, Schwein und Rind in einem hohen Anteil wohl domestiziert waren. Domestizierte Schafe und Ziegen spielten eine bedeutende Rolle für die Fleischversorgung. Mit grosser Wahrscheinlichkeit sind Schaf und Ziege nicht lokal domestiziert und von ausserhalb eingeführt worden. Im Gegensatz dazu sind Rinder und Schweine vermutlich lokal domestiziert. Die Jagd auf Wildtiere (hauptsächlich Gazelle, auch Hirsch und Equus hemionus) erfolgte weiterhin, bis in das keramische Neolithikum. Sie spielte aber keine wichtige Rolle für die Subsistenz von Mezraa-Teleilat. Schweineskelette wurden in Schichten des keramischen Neolithikums gefunden. Sie geben einen Hinweis darauf, dass die Tiere innerhalb der Siedlungen gehalten wurden."

More than a thousand years, from 776 BC until AD 393, the Greeks held competitions in running, fighting and horse driving in Olympia in honour of Zeus. These games were the model for the modern Olympics. Side by side with the Olympic games, hundreds of similar competitions were held in the Greek and Roman cities. Alongside sports they also made room for musical competition. There were even games for girls. Have a look at the precursors of the great games in Beijing in 2008."

They are then subject to Interactive Public Discussion, during which the referees’ comments (anonymous or attributed), additional short comments by other members of the scientific community (attributed) and the authors’ replies are also published in CPD. In the second stage, the peer-review process is completed and, if accepted, the final revised papers are published in CP. To ensure publication precedence for authors, and to provide a lasting record of scientific discussion, CPD and CP are both ISSN-registered, permanently archived and fully citable.

Demotic is the most cursive script developed by the Egyptians. This stage of the language has, in many ways, connections to the preceding stage, Late Egyptian, and its successor, Coptic. Despite these affinities, demotic is a complete separated stage of ancient Egyptian language.The Practical Guide to the Grammar of Egyptian Demotic is a learning tool for those who wants to start the study of the late stage ancient Egyptian language in a highly cursive script known as Demotic. In use from ca. 650 B.C. until the middle of the fifth century A.D., Demotic served as the medium for a wide variety of text types. These include texts such as business and legal documents, private letters and administrative inscriptions, and literary texts, including not only narrative texts and pieces of wisdom literature, but also religious and magical texts and scientific texts dealing with topics such as astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. Demotic texts thus not only provide important witnesses for the development of ancient Egyptian linguistic and paleographical traditions but also constitute an indispensable source for reconstructing the social, political, and cultural life of ancient Egypt during a fascinating period of its history. Once you finish the entire book, you will have a great foundation to read, translate and understand, with the help of a dictionnairy and much effort, all those texts and get into the life and culture of late Ancient Egyptians.
