The Early Iron Age period of the southern coastal plain of the Levant (ca. 1200-900 BCE) displays certain new features that suggest the appearance of the Philistines or other Sea Peoples. The early stages of this period represent a departure from Late Bronze Age traditions and evidence of cross-cultural influences within the eastern Mediterranean. This volume contributes to the discussion of the origin of the Sea Peoples by examining the role of adornment in the portrayal of cultural identity. Metal jewellery is assessed from 29 sites in the southern Levant, the Aegean, and Cyprus, resulting in the creation of the first multi-regional typology of metal jewellery for the Iron Age I-IIA eastern Mediterranean. By examining various categories of metal jewellery from the southern Levant and its western neighbours, this study contributes to the debate about the relations and exchanges that affected the region during this pivotal period in history. The formation, maintenance, and communication of group identification through physical appearance is assessed through a phenomenological view of cultural material to explain what is termed cultural intention.

"This Handbook aims to serve as a research guide to the archaeology of the Levant, an area situated at the crossroads of the ancient world that linked the eastern Mediterranean, Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and Egypt. The Levant as used here is a historical geographical term referring to a large area which today comprises the modern states of Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, western Syria, and Cyprus, as well as the West Bank, Gaza, and the Sinai Peninsula. Unique in its treatment of the entire region, it offers a comprehensive overview and analysis of the current state of the archaeology of the Levant within its larger cultural, historical, and socio-economic contexts. The Handbook also attempts to bridge the modern scholarly and political divide between archaeologists working in this highly contested region"--Jacket.

The orthodox view of slavery in the ancient Mediterranean holds that Greece and Rome were its only 'genuine slave societies', that is, societies in which slave labour contributed significantly to the economy and underpinned the wealth of elites. Other societies, traditionally labelled 'societies with slaves', are thought to have made little use of slave labour and therefore have been largely ignored in recent scholarship. This volume presents a radically differentview of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean world, showing that elite exploitation of slave labour in Greece and the Near East shared some fundamental similarities, although the degree of elite dependence on slaves varied from region to region. Whilst slavery was indeed particularly highly developed inGreece and Rome, it was also economically entrenched in Carthage, and played a not insignificant role in the affairs of elites in Israel, Assyria, Babylonia, and Persia. The differing degrees to which Eastern Mediterranean elites exploited slave labour represents the outcome of a complex interplay between cultural, economic, political, geographical, and demographic factors.Proceeding on a regional basis, this book tracks the ways in which local conditions shaped a wide variety of Greek and Near Eastern slave systems, and how the legal architecture of slavery in individual regions was altered and adapted to accommodate these needs. The result is a nuanced exploration of the economic underpinnings of Greek elite culture that sets its reliance on slavery within a broader historical context and sheds light on the complex circumstances from which itemerged.

L'ouvrage de M. Mallet comble une lacune: l'art roman en Anjou n'avait jamais fait l'objet d'une étude d'ensemble; la disparition de nombreux grands édifices semble avoir, jusqu'à présent, découragé les chercheurs. Des recherches longues et minutieuses ont permis à l'auteur de nous restituer ces grandes églises détruites. Les monuments subsistants, la priorale de Cunault, les abbatiales du Ronceray ou de Fontevrault sont étudiées dans leur cadre originel. Ce livre peut ainsi prétendre donner une idée complète de l'art religieux majeur dans le diocèse d'Angers à l'époque romane. Dans le souci d'être aussi exhaustif que possible, l'auteur analyse avec le même soin les églises rurales. Ces églises, petites ou moyennes, qui apportent dans nos campagnes leur part de beauté, sont le reflet des grandes œuvres et des options artistiques contemporaines. Elles témoignent souvent de recherches originales dans le jeu des volumes ou l'utilisation de la lumière. Au delà de leur valeur propre, elles servent donc à mieux comprendre les monuments disparus. Cet ouvrage s'efforce enfin de replacer les édifices locaux dans l'art de leur époque où tradition carolingienne et forte inspiration rénovatrice se côtoient. La sculpture se caractérise par une lisibilité qui va, pour la scuplture figurée, jusqu'à la violenceexpressionniste. Les portes de la salle capitulaire et du réfectoire de Saint-Aubin d'Angers, la grande arcadeoccidentale de Saint-Florent de Saumur, bien d'autres œuvres de qualité témoignent de la réussite de cet art. C'est donc à la découverte d'une architecture et d'une sculpture en bonne partie ignorée que nous convie M. Mallet. Les 320 photos, prises spécialement sur les indications de l'auteur s'adaptent étroitement au texte et rendent sensible l'originale beauté des partis pris architecturaux. Les 90 plans à la même échelle suggèrent de fructueuses comparaisons. Le simple curieux comme le spécialiste trouveront dans ce livre instruction et plaisir.

En quoi les missions chrétiennes du Levant ont-elles été des lieux de production de savoirs « orientaux » ? Comment ces connaissances ont-elles circulé de part et d’autre de la Méditerranée ? Comment ont-elles été reformulées et réappropriées localement ? Cet ouvrage se penche sur l’assimilation en Europe de connaissances relatives aux cultures chrétiennes-orientales et sur le rôle que les missions ont joué dans ce processus. Collectés et élaborés dans les grandes bibliothèques et universités européennes, puis intégrés par les structures de gouvernance des Églises, ces nouveaux savoirs ont aussi été réappropriés dans l’espace d’où ils étaient issus. Ils ont donné lieu à des prises de conscience patrimoniales à côté des expériences tragiques de la fin de l’Empire ottoman et de l’établissement de nouveaux États. Ce travail éclaire ainsi la dimension intellectuelle des dynamiques d’arabisation des Églises locales, de reformulation des frontières confessionnelles et de construction d’identités communautaires et nationales au Moyen-Orient. Il montre enfin comment les missions contribuent à la mise en valeur du patrimoine culturel oriental, et comment le domaine du savoir participe d’une évolution de la notion de mission depuis la période ottomane. In what ways were the Christian missions in the Levant places of production of 'oriental' knowledge? Many late nineteenth and early twentieth-century academics utilised knowledge production from Christian missions, notably by way of scholarly Orientalism. However, the history of this knowledge is also a history of representations: while missionary knowledge helped showcase the cultural and religious traditions of Eastern Christianity, what were the underlying motives and especially the consequences? This book examines the formulation and circulation of Eastern Christian knowledge on either side of the Mediterranean, the study of which is sometimes rooted in non-Anglophone academic traditions. The aim is to shed light on how…
