Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This festschrift is dedicated to Felix Blocher, Professor of Near Eastern Archeology at the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg, presenting 37 contributions from different fields of ancient Near Eastern cultures, regions, and epochs. Regionally, the spectrum extends from Yemen to Northwest Arabia, the Levant, Syria, Mesopotamia, Urartu, Anatolia, to Georgia and the Caucasus region; chronologically from the Uruk period of the 4th millennium, palaces of the 3rd millennium BC, through Old Babylonian cylinder seals and Neo-Assyrian tombs in Assur to the "Nineveh Court" of the first world exhibition in 1851 in Hyde Park in London and the survival of Mesopotamian gods in contemporary music. Thematically, reports on excavations are represented as well as historical, scientific-historical, and iconographic contributions.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Human iconography in Near Eastern prehistory has so far only examined specific themes. Iconographic research has mainly focused on aspects of fertility cults and images of the divine, both of which are strongly correlated with the beginning of sedentism in the Early Neolithic. Fieldwork over the last 30 years in South-west Asia has significantly expanded the spectrum of prehistoric anthropomorphic representations. This not only requires a re-evaluation of hitherto standard interpretation models, but also new approaches towards research on themes such as self-perception and self-expression of the human. The contributions in this volume will present a new and comprehensive understanding of prehistoric anthropomorphic iconography which will supplement the conventional thematic canon that is usually applied to the analyses of anthropomorphic representations. The contributions include detailed considerations of contexts containing anthropogenic images, burial practices, and anthropological data regarding health and nutrition. The chronological focus of the volume is the period from the late Epipalaeolithic (Natufian) to the Chalcolithic (c. 14,900 to 5700 cal.BP) covering the 'fertile crescent' region of South-west Asia. This period and region provide the broad context of the development of agriculture and animal husbandry as well as further essential foundations for social coexistence, all of which profoundly influence our modern society. The chapters show that the human iconography provides evidence for social hierarchies and complex gender relations from prehistory on. Further, they show early tendencies towards a canonisation of the principles of presentation in gestures. Magic-religious practices become visible, and the basic question regarding whether human beings or supernatural creatures are depicted is discussed in several contributions, although the meaning of their symbolic contents remains to be deciphered by future research.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Die sogenannten Alteren Ischtar-Tempel gelten als der am besten dokumentierte Baukomplex in Assur, der Keimzelle des spateren assyrischen Reiches. Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden diese Befunde unter der Leitung von Walter Andrae bis auf den anstehenden Fels hinab ausgegraben und es konnten die vermutlich fruhesten erhaltenen Kultbauten der Stadt freigelegt werden. Nachdem die Architektur und die wichtigsten Funde von dem Ausgraber selbst bereits in den 1920er Jahren vorgelegt wurden, hat sich Jurgen Bar im Rahmen des gut 70 Jahre spater ins Leben gerufenen Assur-Projektes einer umfassenden Neubearbeitung der im Vorderasiatischen Museum zu Berlin einlagernden Dokumentation und Kleinfunde gewidmet. Zum gegenwartigen Zeitpunkt verfugt Assur als einziger Fundort uber eine vergleichsweise gut dokumentierte Keramiksequenz aus dem 3. bis 2. Jahrtausend v.Chr. Da Assur in einer Bruckenregion zwischen dem sudmesopotamischen und dem syro-anatolischen Raum liegt, erlaubt das von Claudia Beuger vorgestellte Material auch eine neue Diskussion und Definition der Grenzen und Gemeinsamkeiten der nord- und sudmesopotamischen Keramikkulturen, insbesondere da heute intensivierte Feldforschungen unter internationaler Beteiligung im Nordirak wieder moglich sind. Mit ihrer Untersuchung leistet Beuger so einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erforschung der Keramik der Alteren Ischtar-Tempel in Assur. The archaic Ishtar temples are said to be the best-documented complex of buildings in Ashur, the heart of the Assyrian Empire. At this time, the Assyrian findings are the only ones to contain a comparatively well-documented ceramic sequence dating from the 3rd to the 2nd millennium BC. Given Assyria's location in a region linking Sou Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
