Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -People and spaces have always been connected by routes: paths, trails, roads - on land, on water and sometimes even through the air, over hill and dale as well as over wooden planks, pavement and asphalt. Humans and animals followed them. The routes directed the circulation of raw materials and goods. They determined the paths on which humans fled from misery and danger, and they constituted the physical and imagined veins of networks between communities. All these cultural and biological connectivities are the building blocks of reshaping past (and present) societies.In this booklet - the second in the booklet series of the Cluster of Excellence ROOTS at Kiel University - we uncover the roots of these routes: From the earliest stages of the Stone Age to the present day, there have been well-defined routes, which enabled the exchange of things, practices and knowledge between people. Many of these ancient routes are not only still visible today, but even continue to operate: from the Silk Roads spanning the continents to the local routes of the Ox Trail in Schleswig-Holstein, from the waterways of Mesopotamia and the river worlds of the forest zone to the spiritual routes of philosophical contemplation. Moreover, isolation and disruptions of formerly established routes, for example in the Viking diaspora, have also proven to be directional for cultural developments. In a kaleidoscope of perspectives, the roles of landscape and climate are examined. Special attention is given to those routes along which objects, rituals, and therefore also cultural practices were transported. Religious rituals, knowledge, even philosophical insights are shown to have their roots in movement along routes.These and the many other topics in this booklet illustrate to what extent the development of human societies is determined by the routes through which they are connected - or not connected. Modern narratives of a limitless, openly accessible world, grounded in an urban-industrialised experience (or agenda), can get cracks if we look deep enough into the past. It is the paths, the very concrete connections in a material as well as a spiritual sense that influence human lives, their existence and their development. Communication and dialogue along the routes and networks must be maintained, as they were and are the guarantors for a good coexistence of humans in this world. 122 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Jebel Aruda, a prominent mountain ridge overlooking the Taqba Dam lake in northern Syria, was the location of a remarkable settlement that flourished between c. 3300 and 3100 BC during the so-called Uruk period. For the inhabitants the sacredness of this high place, evidenced by the discovery of a large temple complex, seems to have taken precedent over its impractical location far above the valley of the Euphrates River. The site was destroyed under unknown circumstances, leaving behind the spectacular remains of a well preserved temple complex and numerous houses filled with a rich collection of material culture and administrative tools such as bullae and tablets.A Dutch team excavated the site between 1972 and 1982 while the Tabqua Dam was under construction. These two volumes present the results of these excavations and subsequent research of the remains, with special emphasis on the relationship between the domestic architecture and the finds.These richly illustrated volumes aim to facilitate further research and analysis of an exceptional, short-lived Uruk period settlement, comprising domestic architecture associated with a monumental temple complex. It is intended to appeal to readers interested in Mesopotamia and ancient Syria, as well as archaeologists concerned with architectural and locational analysis in a broader perspective.Volume I presents the results of the excavation, with a discussion of the individual houses and the history of the temple buildings, together with the pottery corpus, the administrative artefacts and sealings, as well as shorter chapters on other material categories (flint, stone etc). The contents of each individual house are presented in Volume II.ContentsVOLUME I: TEXTI Preface C. van Driel-MurrayII ForewordIII Explanatory notes to the text and illustrations, conventions and abbreviationsIV Previous publications1 The Site and its Exploration2 The Temple Area3 The site and the temples: aspects of architecture and urban planning.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the later Roman period the North Sea and Channel region was the scene of seaborne attacks, political crises, army reforms, Germanic invasions and changing imperial defence strategies. Literary evidence for this era is poor. On the other hand the Shore forts can yield highly significant information, but have been subject to little study in recent decades. At the Belgian coastal fort at Oudenburg large-scale excavations in the first decade of the 21st century revealed a strikingly well-preserved chronological, spatial and functional evolution of this military base, with five main fort periods running from the late 2nd until the early 5th century AD. For the first time within the context of the Shore forts securely datable structural evidence demonstrates the stages in progression of a mid- to late Roman fort where the horizons can be related to historically recorded processes and events in the region. Political, economic and social developments can be seen within this evidence, as a result of the assessment of the huge quantity of well-stratified finds types. Reports on the finds assemblage by specialist experts, using various analytical methods, represent 'touchstones' for regional military and later Roman studies in the North-West provinces.The study of Oudenburg, and in relationship to other Shore forts, enables exploration of 'change and continuity' and 'identity', in respect of the everyday lives of soldiers, and in their interaction with other forts and wider regional spheres. This is achieved by examining find contexts as reflections of the socio-cultural world. The study of 'military identities' is further emphasized through looking at the associated graveyards wherein the direct relationship with the successive fort periods is established. It is clear this fort was closely connected with the British forts and that there occurred an increasing Germanic influence as the fort transformed into a community of military families.This is volume one of three. This volume provides a detailed analysis of the Oudenburg site and the report of the research of its significance within the wider context of the Roman North Sea and Channel frontier zone, on a historic-military, a socio-cultural and a socio-economic level. 322 pp. Englisch.

These two volumes present the results of these excavations and subsequent research of the remains, with special emphasis on the relationship between the domestic architecture and the finds.These richly illustrated volumes aim to facilitate further research and analysis of an exceptional, short-lived Uruk period settlement, comprising domestic architecture associated with a monumental temple complex. It is intended to appeal to readers interested in Mesopotamia and ancient Syria, as well as archaeologists concerned with architectural and locational analysis in a broader perspective.Volume I presents the results of the excavation. In Volume II the contents of each individual house are listed and illustrated as discrete room assemblages, with the specific intention of making the evidence available for more detailed analysis of the relationship between material culture and architecture and to stimulate further research into aspects such as identity and the social structure of the settlement surrounding the temples.ContentsVOLUME II: PLATESIntroductionAbbreviationsConcordance I: Room NumbersConcordance II: Registered Find NumbersConcordance III: Registered Sample NumbersIllustrations of artefacts from each room context by House Plates 1-206Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 484 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the later Roman period the North Sea and Channel region was the scene of seaborne attacks, political crises, army reforms, Germanic invasions and changing imperial defence strategies. Literary evidence for this era is poor. On the other hand the Shore forts can yield highly significant information, but have been subject to little study in recent decades. At the Belgian coastal fort at Oudenburg large-scale excavations in the first decade of the 21st century revealed a strikingly well-preserved chronological, spatial and functional evolution of this military base, with five main fort periods running from the late 2nd until the early 5th century AD. For the first time within the context of the Shore forts securely datable structural evidence demonstrates the stages in progression of a mid- to late Roman fort where the horizons can be related to historically recorded processes and events in the region. Political, economic and social developments can be seen within this evidence, as a result of the assessment of the huge quantity of well-stratified finds types. Reports on the finds assemblage by specialist experts, using various analytical methods, represent 'touchstones' for regional military and later Roman studies in the North-West provinces.The study of Oudenburg, and in relationship to other Shore forts, enables exploration of 'change and continuity' and 'identity', in respect of the everyday lives of soldiers, and in their interaction with other forts and wider regional spheres. This is achieved by examining find contexts as reflections of the socio-cultural world. The study of 'military identities' is further emphasized through looking at the associated graveyards wherein the direct relationship with the successive fort periods is established. It is clear this fort was closely connected with the British forts and that there occurred an increasing Germanic influence as the fort transformed into a community of military families.This is volume two of three and provides detailed reports on the finds assemblage of the south-west corner site of the Oudenburg fort. 602 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Menschen und Räume waren schon immer durch Routen verbunden: Pfade, Wege und Straßen - zu Lande, zu Wasser und manchmal auch durch die Luft, über Stock und Stein ebenso wie über Holzbohlen, Pflaster und Asphalt. Menschen und Tiere folgten ihnen. Die Routen lenkten den Kreislauf von Rohstoffen und Waren. Sie bestimmten die Wege, auf denen die Menschen vor Elend und Gefahr flohen, und sie bildeten die physischen und imaginären Adern der Netzwerke zwischen Gemeinschaften. All diese kulturellen und biologischen Konnektivitäten sind die Bausteine für die Umgestaltung vergangener (und gegenwärtiger) Gesellschaften.In dieser Broschüre - der zweiten in der Broschürenreihe des Exzellenzclusters ROOTS an der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel - legen wir die Wurzeln dieser Routen frei: Von den Anfängen in der Steinzeit bis in die heutige Zeit gab es ausgeprägte Routen, die den Austausch von Gegenständen, Praktiken und Wissen zwischen den Menschen ermöglichten. Viele dieser alten Routen sind heute nicht nur sichtbar geblieben, sondern sogar noch in Betrieb: von den Seidenstraßen, die die Kontinente überspannen, bis zu den lokalen Routen des Ochsenwegs in Schleswig-Holstein, von den Wasserwegen Mesopotamiens und den Flusswelten der Waldzone bis zu den spirituellen Routen der philosophischen Kontemplation. Aber auch Isolation und Unterbrechungen ehemals etablierter Routen, z.B. in der wikingerzeitlichen Diaspora, haben sich als richtungsweisend für kulturelle Entwicklungen erwiesen. In einem Kaleidoskop von Perspektiven wird die Rolle von Landschaft und Klima untersucht. Besonderes Augenmerk wird auf jene Routen gelegt, auf denen Gegenstände, Rituale und damit auch kulturelle Praktiken transportiert wurden. Es wird gezeigt, dass religiöse Rituale, Wissen und sogar philosophische Erkenntnisse ihre Wurzeln in der Bewegung entlang von Routen haben.Diese und die vielen anderen Themen in diesem Heft veranschaulichen, wie sehr die Entwicklung menschlicher Gesellschaften von den Wegen bestimmt wird, über die sie miteinander verbunden oder nicht verbunden sind. Moderne Narrative einer grenzenlosen, offen zugänglichen Welt, die auf einer urban-industrialisierten Erfahrung (oder Agenda) beruhen, können Risse bekommen, wenn wir tief genug in die Vergangenheit blicken. Es sind die Pfade, die ganz konkreten Verbindungen im materiellen wie im geistigen Sinne, die das Leben der Menschen, ihr Dasein und ihre Entwicklung in der Welt beeinflussen. Kommunikation und Dialog entlang der Wege und Netzwerke müssen aufrechterhalten werden, denn sie der Garant für ein gutes Zusammenleben der Menschen auf dieser Welt waren und sind. 122 pp. Deutsch.
