Hunde in der römischen Antike : Rassen/Typen - Zucht - Haltung und Verwendung /
:
This title deals extensively with the living environment of the dog in Roman antiquity, based on literary and iconographic sources as well as archaeological and archaeozoological finds. The knowledge gained from this is documented by numerous images. Older research opinions, some of which have gone unchecked for more than a hundred years, are examined and - where necessary - corrected. For the first time, a catalogue of the more than 80 dog breeds/types documented from antiquity is presented with their names, origins, appearance and the special characteristics of these animals. The ancient theories of dog breeding are compared with modern practices.

Die Entstehung komplexer Siedlungen im Zentraloman : Archäologische Untersuchungen zur Siedlungsgeschichte von Al-Khashbah /
:
This volume presents the results of a survey conducted in 2015 and beyond by the Institut für die Kulturen des Alten Orients of the Universität Tübingen in Al-Khashbah, one of the largest Early Bronze Age sites on the Omani Peninsula. Ten monumental buildings, 273 tombs and other structures from the Hafit (3100-2700 BC) and Umm an-Nar periods (2700-2000 BC) were documented here. This makes Al-Khashbah ideally suited for the investigation of the beginnings of complex settlements and social structures in northern Inner Oman at the transition from the 4th to the 3rd millennium BC, because many of the achievements previously attributed to the Umm an-Nar period, such as monumental architecture and the smelting of copper, can already be proven here in the preceding Hafit period. In the Umm an-Nar period, the development of Al-Khashbah continues steadily, giving the site additional importance.

Text-Bild-Objekte im archäologischen Kontext /
:
Die altägyptische Kultur hat ein reiches archäologisches Erbe an Texten und Bildern hinterlassen, deren Bedeutung sich häufig erst unter Berücksichtigung ihrer räumlichen Dimension erschliesst. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich dem Zusammenspiel textueller und visueller Perspektiven in der Analyse ägyptischer Denkmäler und deren räumlicher Verortung und greift damit einen Schwerpunkt der epigraphischen und archäologischen Forschung Susanne Bickels auf. 'Text-Bild-Objekte im archäologischen Kontext' entfaltet diese Forschungsperspektive in 17 Beiträgen, vom Alten Reich bis ins 19. Jahrhundert und von Nubien bis in die Schweiz.

Die Gräber von Bat und Al-Ayn und das Gebäude II in Bat /
:
The Early Bronze Age in third-millennium-BC Eastern Arabia was a period of fundamental change, which is apparent in the development of social complexity, the exploitation of new resources and the emergence of new modes of life. Hallmarks of this period include monumental structures, so-called towers, and stone-built circular tombs. The second volume of the series Arabia Orientalis is dedicated to the archaeological investigation of the Early Bronze Age necropolises of the UNESCO world heritage sites Bat and Al-Ayn in the Sultanate of Oman, as well as the monumental tower structure Building II at Bat. It encompasses detailed reports on the architecture and stratigraphy, as well as the find assemblages from the excavated buildings, including pottery and small finds, along with anthropological as well as anthracological studies.

The Manichaean codices of Medinet Madi /
:
"The seven Manichaean papyrus codices of the fourth or fifth century were discovered in illicit excavation in 1929 in the Egyptian desert. They were acquired in about equal halves by A. Chester Beatty for his library and by Carl Schmidt for the papyrus collection of the Staatliche Museen of Berlin. Having had access to the inventories, correspondence, and files in Berlin, Robinson provides translations of the German and French documents to increase access to information previously unavailable to the scholarly community. He narrates the slow and problem-ridden path of the acquisition, conservation, and editing of these important works, including their movements between dealers, collectors, scholars, and the military in Egypt, London, Dublin, Berlin, Schondorf, Göttingen, Warsaw, Leningrad, Los Angeles, Claremont, and Copenhagen"--Publishers website.
