Le verre de Sabra al-Mansuriya : (Kairouan, Tunisie) milieu Xe-milieu XIe siècle : production et consommation : vaisselle - contenants - vitrages /
:
Knowledge of Islamic glass and its craftsmanship in the medieval period has relied heavily on Middle Eastern literature. The study of workshop and rich glass assemblage from Sabra al-Mansuriya (Kairouan), the Fatimid capital founded in 947/948 and destroyed in 1057, shows that Ifriqiya followed the technological evolutions of glass craftsmanship.

Die sogenannte Hundestele des Königs Wah-Anch Intef aus el-Târif : eine Forschungsgeschichte /
:
Anhand einer vor rund 160 Jahren in el-Târif bei Luxor/Oberägypten gefundenen Reliefplatte aus Kalkstein zeichnet dieser Band ein Stück ägyptologisch-archäologischer Forschungsgeschichte nach. Im Zentrum der Betrachtung steht die aufgrund ihrer Darstellungen "Hundestele" genannte Grabstele des Königs Wah-Anch Intef (um 2050 v.Chr.). Das Hauptinteresse liegt dabei jedoch weniger auf ihren ikonografischen Besonderheiten oder dem historisch bedeutsamen Text. Es gilt vielmehr den unklaren Umständen der Auffindung und Bergung und dem darauffolgenden Verbleib der Stele sowie ihrem unmittelbaren archäologischen und damit ehemaligen baulichen Kontext. In akribischer Aufarbeitung der zum Teil widersprüchlichen und irrtümlichen Angaben, von Fundort und -datum bis hin zu den Abmessungen, wird die moderne Geschichte dieser königlichen Stele rekonstruiert. Dadurch wird ein der Ägyptologie lange bekanntes und viel diskutiertes Forschungsobjekt nachträglich mit neuen archäologischen Informationen versehen.

Les ors de Mari /
:
Cet ouvrage étudie la totalité des objets d'or, découverts sur le site de Mari de 1933 à 2006. La ville de Mari, fondée au début du IIIe millénaire (Ville I) a connu une grande activité artisanale et l'orfèvrerie s'illustre par des découvertes techniques d'avenir. Après 2500, les souverains de la Ville II favorisent une production de pièces de grande qualité. La Ville III prend fin avec la dynastie amorrite, dont les archives étudiées ici rendent compte de la multiplicité des ateliers. Les cimetières médio-assyriens installés sur le site ont livré ensuite de très nombreux objets, peut-être fabriqués sur place. Sur le Moyen Euphrate, Mari apparaît donc comme une des capitales du travail de l'or faisant pendant à Sumer sans en dépendre, comme on l'avait prétendu. Son orfèvrerie nous éclaire aussi sur la société, la religion et les pratiques funéraires.

The archaeology of the Holy Land : from the destruction of Solomon's Temple to the Muslim conquest /
:
"In the heart of the ancient Near East (modern Middle East) and at a crossroads between once mighty powers such as Assyria to the east and Egypt to the south is a tiny piece of land -- roughly the size of New Jersey -- that is as contested as it is sacred. One cannot even name this territory without sparking controversy. Originally called Canaan after its early inhabitants (the Canaanites), it has since been known by various names. To Jews this is Eretz-Israel (the Land of Israel), the Promised Land described by the Hebrew Bible as flowing with milk and honey. To Christians it is the Holy Land where Jesus Christ -- the messiah or anointed one -- was born, preached, and offered himself as the ultimate sacrifice. Under the Greeks and Romans, it was the province of Judea, a name which hearkened back to the biblical kingdom of Judah. After the Bar-Kokhba revolt ended in 135 C.E., Hadrian renamed the province Syria-Palestina, reviving the memory of the long-vanished kingdom of Philistia. Under early Islamic rule the military district (jund) of Filastin was part of the province of Greater Syria (Arabic Bilad al-Sham). In this book, the term Palestine is used to denote the area encompassing the modern state of Israel, the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan, and the Palestinian territories"--

Shifting sand : journal of a cub archaeologist, Palestine 1964 /
:
'Shifting Sand' is the journal of Julian Berry, then a 17-year-old archaeologist, written on-site during excavations in Jordan, 1964. The book provides a fascinating insight into the lives of archaeologists over 50 years ago, and the very close links between the European team, the Arab workmen, and the daily life in a simple mud-brick village.

How did the Persian king of kings get his wine? : the upper Tigris in antiquity (c.700 BCE to 636 CE) /
:
This title explores the upper valley of the Tigris during antiquity. The area is little known to scholarship, and study is currently handicapped by the security situation in southeast Turkey and by the completion during 2018 of the Ilisu dam. The reservoir being created will drown a large part of the valley and will destroy many archaeological sites, some of which have not been investigated. The course of the upper Tigris discussed here is the section from Mosul up to its source north of Diyarbakir; the monograph describes the history of the river valley from the end of the Late Assyrian empire through to the Arab conquests, thus including the conflicts between Rome and Persia. It considers the transport network by river and road and provides an assessment of the damage to cultural heritage caused both by the Saddam dam (also known as the Eski Mosul dam) in Iraq and by the Ilisu dam in south-east Turkey.

Studies in the archaeology and history of Caesarea Maritima : caput judaeae, metropolis palaestinae /
:
Caesarea Maritima, the capital of the Roman province of Judaea / Palaestina, was founded in 10/9 BCE by Herod the Great to serve as an administrative and economic center. It was named after his Roman patron Caesar Augustus, the first Roman emperor. The book, well illustrated, presents the results of the large scale excavations at the site during the 1990's and early 2000's in their wider historical and cultural context: the architectural evolution and transformation of the thriving city from its foundation to its decline caused by the Arab conquest (640/41 CE), its conversion to a Roman colony in 71 CE, aspects of provincial administration, commerce and economy, entertainment and religious life of its communities - Jews, Pagans, Christians and Samaritans.
