| Download Bookmark |  | Modern Material Culture and Ruins in Ambos Nogales (Arizona and Sonora). by Randall McGuire Michael Schiffer redefined archaeology as the use of material culture to study human behavior. This definition established modern material culture studies and has promoted creative archaeological studies of the contemporary world that extend beyond Behavioral Archaeology. But the Modernist Project writ large often leads to devastation, and the United States-México border wall is one material example. The wall has failed to create an impregnable border but rather has generated material debris. Contemporary ruins on both sides of the border in Ambos Nogales, Arizona and Sonora, exemplify... |

| Download Bookmark |  | The King's Household, Royal Gifts and the International Trade in the Amarna Age by Konstantinos Kopanias The Amarna Letters seem quite puzzling to the modern reader, because they refer mostly to private affairs of the kings, while matters of diplomacy and trade are discussed only very briefly or not at all, as if the kings were not interested in the foreign policy of their states. In this paper it is argued that this was just a façade, designed to keep up the pretext that the countries of the Great Kings were self-sufficient from the military and economic point of view; economic and diplomatic requests needed to be made in a way that none of the involved parties would 'loose face'. The... |

Stek) by Tesse Stek The territory of Venosa (Potenza - Italy), ancient Venusia (291 BC), is one of the best investigated Roman colonial territories in Italy. During more than a decade of intensive landscape archaeological research conducted in the context of the Forma Italiae project an area of seven hundred square kilometres has been investigated and more than two thousand archaeological sites dating from Prehistory to the Middle Ages have been mapped. This enormous quantity of data is now being used to protect and promote the cultural heritage of this area, and as a crucial academic instrument for further... |
| Download Bookmark |  | A Birder's Guide to Turkey by Cagan Sekercioglu At the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, Turkey has tremendous biological (not to mention cultural and historical) wealth that is often underappreciated. This is a combination of three of world's 37 major plant zones meeting in Turkey and various mountain ranges further dividing the country into a diversity of biomes. These range from temperate rainforest along the Black Sea, where tea, hazelnuts and oranges are grown and Caucasian Grouse and Caspian Snowcocks thrive under the protective shadow of Caucasus mountains, to sub-desert scrub in the southeast where Nile monitors and striped... |

| Download Bookmark |  | Formation of Lithic Assemblages by Julien Riel-Salvatore and Michael Barton This model serves as an experimental environment to examine processes that form the archaeological record of chipped stone (lithic) artifact assemblages. It is designed to carry out systematic experiments in the effects of social and environmental parameters on the formation of lithic (chipped stone artifact) assemblages in archaeological sites. This is especially important for lithics as it is a largely extinct technology and we cannot directly observe the accumulation of lithic assemblages over time frames comparable to those represented in the archaeological record. Agents represent... | |
