Fwd: The Priest of Amun Iuput and his Distinguished Ancestors - Academia.edu

Top papers from your news feed from the last week The Priest of Amun Iuput and his Distinguished Ancestors by Aidan Dodson The publication of two fragments in a private collection, deriving from the cartonnage mummycase of the Prophet of Amun Iuput (B), a descendent of Osorkon I through his eldest son, the High Priest of Amun Shoshenq. The paper also publishes a coffin lid bearing the name of Iuput's father, Osorkon D, and now in Stockholm (NME 838), and discusses various issues surrounding the family. Amongst other points, it is concluded that the High Priest Shoshenq should not be equated with any King Shoshenq, and that his mother, Maatkare B, died prior to the accession of Osorkon I.

Download Bookmark Reflections on the Festschrift / Memorial Volume: A Review of Human Expeditions: Inspired by Bruce Trigger. by Randall McGuire My review of Stephen Chrisomalis and Andre Costopolus edited volume Human Expeditions, leads to a reflection of festschrifts. The festschrift and the memorial volume are dying enterprises. Many scholars find festschrift volumes a waste of time because they often lack coherence and frequently consist of papers that the authors could not publish elsewhere. Critics have clearly identified the cardinal sins of the genre and for these sins such volumes do not sell. Publishers are torn when the scholarly community wants to honor a significant scholar especially if that scholar published with...

Studying Ancient Anthropogenic Impacts on Current Floral Biodiversity in the Southern Levant as reflected by the Philistine Migration. Scientific Reports 5:13308 | DOI: 10.1038/srep13308 by Sue Frumin, Aren Maeir, and Ehud Weiss In this study it is demonstrated that with the appearance of the Philistine culture in Canaan, not only did new species of plants appear, species which originate in different parts of the eastern Mediterranean, but new modes of utilization of various plants species already existing in the Levant can be seen. This not only strengthens previous evidence of the multiple origins of the Philistine migrants, but also shows that the Philistine culture had new and different food patterns and agrarian traditions. In addition, it demonstrates the applicability of an "invasion biology" perspective in... Download Bookmark Studying Ancient Anthropogenic Impacts on Current Floral Biodiversity in the Southern Levant as reflected by the Philistine Migration by Sue Frumin, Aren Maeir, and Ehud Weiss Human migrations across geographic boundaries can facilitate the introduction of new husbandry practices and dispersal of plants and animals, resulting in changes in biodiversity. As previously demonstrated, the 12th century BC Philistine migration – to the southern Levantine littoral, involved the transportation of pigs from Europe, engendering long term genetic displacement of local Near Eastern haplotypes. Building on this, and combining biogeographical methods of Floral List comparisons with archaeological data, we have elucidated the Philistine impact on Southern Levantine floral... Download Bookmark An ABC of Lithic Arrowheads by Enrico R. Crema, Stephen Shennan, and Kevan Edinborough If archaeology is to take a leading role in the social sciences, new theoretical and methodological advances emerging from the natural sciences cannot be ignored. This requires considerable retooling for archaeology as a discipline at a population scale of analysis. Such an approach is not easy to carry through, especially owing to historically contingent regional traditions; however, the knowledge gained by directly addressing these problems head-on is well worth the effort. This paper shows how population level processes driving cultural evolution can be better understood if mathematical... Download Bookmark Between the Aegean and the Hittites: The Western Anatolia in Second Millennium BC by Peter Pavúk Western Anatolia played a more or less prominent role in a number of archaeological and historical scenarios over the years, notwithstanding the fact that, despite more than a century of research, we still largely know only the coastal sites. The vast area between the coast and the Anatolian plateau is known only from surveys, with the sole exception of Beycesultan. It is therefore necessary to develop a new chronological periodisation and cultural scheme, appropriate to the fragmentary survey material and lacking stratigraphies. Both will be proposed in this paper. Using the latest... Download Bookmark Folded, layered textiles from a Bronze Age pit pyre excavated from Over Barrow 2, Cambridgeshire, England by Susanna Harris The textiles from Over Barrow, Cambridgeshire, England present the opportunity to examine the burial practices at the end of the Early Bronze Age. They were excavated from a pit pyre cremation along with cremated bone, a bone needle/pin and two small sherds of a collared urn. Preserved in charred clumps of multiple layers, they have the potential to provide clues as to how the textiles were used in the cremation, for example, whether they were used as clothing, shrouds or for other purpose such as binding strips. These possibilities raise a number of questions as to the role of textiles in... Download Bookmark F.
