THE BERKELEY MAP OF THE THEBAN NECROPOLIS: REPORT OF THE SECOND SEASON, 1979
:
No area of the world contains as many famous and important archaeological monuments as the West Bank at Luxor. Yet, in spite of the centuries-old interest in such features as the Valley of the Kings, the Tombs of the Nobles, and scores of other monuments, there exists no accurate or complete map of the Theban Necropolis. Fewer than ten percent of its monuments have ever been mapped and planned, and very few of these have been plotted accurately.
This project seeks to establish a survey network over the Theban Necropolis; to prepare a suitably detailed 1:500 archaeological map with 1:250 and 1:100 plans and sections of significant archaeological features; to publish these maps and plans together with more detailed records of measurements, in an accurate and permanent form; and to accompany these graphic aids with a concordance and catalog of West Bank archaeological materials.
Such a project as this will provide a useful tool for Egyptologists, but it also will play a significant role in the preparation of long-range plans for the protection and preservation of the rapidly-deteriorating monuments at Thebes.
During the first season of the project, the grid network was established on the West Bank and several tombs in the Valley of the Kings were planned.
Narrative analogy in the Hebrew Bible : battle stories and their equivalent non-battle narratives /
:
This volume sheds fresh light upon the phenomenon of narrative doubling in the Hebrew Bible. Through an innovative interdisciplinary model the author defines the notion of narrative analogy in relation to other literatures where it has been studied such as English Renaissance drama and makes extensive critical use of contemporary literary theory, particularly that of the Russian formalist Vladimir Propp. His exploitation of narrative doubling, with a focus upon the metaphorical, reorients our reading by uncovering a major dynamic in biblical literature. The author examines several battle reports and demonstrates how each could be interpreted as an oblique commentary and metaphor for the non-battle account that immediately precedes it. Battle scenes are revealed to stand in metaphoric analogy with, among others, accounts of a trial, a rape, a drinking feast, and a court-deliberation. Joshua Berman offers new insights to the ever-growing concern with the relationship between historiography and literary strategies, and succeeds in articulating a new aspect of biblical ideology concerning human and divine relationship.
