I & I Exhibition: New Ways of Making
The conference is framed by the I & I - Digital Art Exhibition 'New Ways of Making' by Faculty members of the Faculty Architecture & Design, VUW
The exhibition will be officially opened on Monday, 15th April at 18:30. So make sure you are there.
Inhabiting Omni-Architecture by Jessie Rogers (SoA)
The artwork presents the generation of new virtual relativity laws, reimagining virtual space inhabitation within an omni-directional environment. Presenting the trilogy of virtual classifications; the virtual inhabitant; the speculative environment; and the virtual built-form, these coalesce, generating a new realm of design within immersive architectural space. The components within the trilogy are all designed relative to each other following the Interconnective Design Methodology Ecosystem framework, which allowed a high level of complexity and richness to shine through the research and design work. The vital components within the trilogy of virtual classifications are the; Architectural designer's role; Interactivity; Global time; Diachronic time; Environment boundaries; Virtual body; Spatial locomotion; Audio experience; User population; Aesthetic materiality and filters; Geometry; Spatial orientation; Local-scale; Atmospheric filters; Orthogonal; Polygonal; Curved rotational fractals; Minimal surface; and Reveal sequencing.
MachineTime_NatureTime by Mizuho Nishioka (SoD)
MachineTime_NatureTime offers an amendment to the practices of photographic image-making. Nishioka explores how multiple participants might affect their own agency the production of a photograph. Fragments of botanical specimens float suspended in the picture plane inviting us to become immersed in a wind-blown field of petals, leaves, pollen and twigs.
Yet all is not quite as it seems. In allowing wind to move her specimens, the photographer has allowed, what she calls, 'Nature Time' to outpace 'Machine Time'. As she says: The technology for producing the photographic imprint is pushed beyond the limits of its ability to form a complete photographic image and instead offers a more complex map of the relationship between these two worlds. MachineTime_NatureTime enmeshes the familiarity of the botanic and the unfamiliarity of marks made by technological disruption. This representation of normally unseen processes recreates for the artist some of the "moments of great expectation, anticipation and terror" involved in image processing in an era of technological sophistication and seamlessness image making.
Space Sheet by Tom White (SoD)
We introduce a new spreadsheet based interface called SpaceSheets for creating novel images and other media. Unlike traditional digital tools, ours is parameterized entirely by a neural network with no preprogrammed rules or knowledge representations. The capability of SpaceSheets to support visual exploration and communication is demonstrated within the context of several domains including facial images, fonts, and english words. SpaceSheets is demonstrated to support the experimentation and exploration of latent spaces enabling more effective design experimentation.
Your Hearing Them by Blake Johnston (Cand. PhD SoM)
Resonant Apparatus is a composition for a bespoke headset that allows for the audience to experience extraordinary spatial and sonic phenomena. The headset consists of two loudspeakers, which sit on the ears like normal headphones, and two surface transducers that sit on the cheekbones of the wearer. These transducers vibrate the cheekbones and skull of the wearer, allowing for the experience sounds seemingly emanating from within the head. The work investigates the creative and experiential affordances of the bespoke headset by placing the listener's head as the site of exploration, creating sounds that move around and inside the listener's body. The work employs binaural techniques to create hyper-realistic sonic environments with convincing spatialmorphological qualities. These environments are contrasted with the intimacy of the surface transducers, which create sounds that emanate from within the body
Drone Sweet Drone by Anne Niemetz (School of Design)
In current literature and the popular press, drones are most commonly associated with unmanned attacks on civilians and the surveillance of populations. Quite rightly, there is significant concern about the use of drone technologies for these often ethically dubious ends (e.g. Greenwald, 2013). Most recently, drone swarms, in particular, have been the focus of this concern. At the same time, a normalisation of drone technology is taking place. In the West this year many technology lovers, hackers and makers received drones as Christmas presents; and, as Matthew J. Cousineau (2011) observes, users can even play games on the US Air Force website that mimic missions to locate and destroy enemy targets. Cousineau goes on to argue for the advantages of studying surveillance as entertainment, rather than just focusing on its effects on civil liberties. He suggests that this approach can bring to light how surveillance agents use the language of popular culture to manufacture consent for their political agendas; as well as bring the domestic effects of foreign wars to the fore. In addition, he argues that by focusing on surveillance as entertainment, new questions can be asked, such as how masculinity is being reconfigured by technologies such as drones.
The art installation, Drone Sweet Drone, is in dialogue with these debates and asks us to consider the ordinary and extraordinary effects of drones in our everyday lives. By referencing Home Sweet Home (an expression that was popular with troops on both sides of the American civil war), and seemingly glorifying drones, the installation aims to open up discussion about the uses of drone technology beyond its usual associations with warfare. As embroidered blueprints using Arduino powered lights, the aesthetic of the drones combines techniques associated with the past and the future; art and science; the amateur and the professional; and the feminine and the masculine. The blueprint text prompts us to further consider the potential of drones, as well as the gendering of new technologies and the masculine associations of war and surveillance. Drone Sweet Drone is purposely conspicuous rather than stealthy. Turning surveillance on its head, it wants us to study the fly on the wall that is increasingly becoming a greater part of our lives.

ANT project by Nico Vernio (DARA)
The goal of the ANT project is to investigate possibilities for the creation of autonomous scout robots able to adapt to terrains, explore and map the environment (like a 3D scanner), and offer a real time point of view to the user through usage of VR headsets. The scout would roam around the targeted area on its own (AI and machine learning) and allow users to "step in" at any time to observe and move around manually whenever desired or required.
Prototyping up to v4, ANT project helped identifying problems and refining solutions related to basic functionalities: out of physical and mechanical limitations, primarily, how to solve efficiently the remote controlling, the processing of data and establishment of communication protocols between the server/controller and the client/robot. At this stage, the solution allows the device to move wirelessly within the range of the host network, in any direction, at variable speed and many other settings, such as reach of legs, incidence of the feet (last leg segment), height, length and "homing" of steps.
Allocating time and funding, the next steps are to extend work on AI and to implement distance sensing at the tip of each leg to allow the robot to gather and forward spatial data in view to create a point cloud map and a volumetric 3D representation of the explored environment. This would allow the device to adapt and travel across other than planar terrains, on top of extending/updating the overall geographical database on record. Mounting a real time stereoscopic camera on a gyroscope system would then allow VR headset users to visually inspect the robot environment, in any direction and in real time as if physically located in the robot's position.
Cloud Computing by Jayn Verkerk (Cand. PhD SoD)
This installation is an expression of people's perceptions of cloud computing: information flows and ecosystems, ephemeral, deceptive, connections and projections, sharing and data surveillance, loss of control and privacy, occult knowledge and hidden infrastructures, power structures, data surveillance and tracking. These are just some of the responses of people when asked about their experience of the cloud.
Cloud computing and mobile devices provide convenient, seamless back up of personal files, and information access through centralised data storage, freeing users of the need for personal hard drives. However, unlike most everyday technologies the infrastructure of cloud computing is invisible for the user, reduced to an icon in the corner of a browser.
The metaphor of a cloud stack provides a vision of personal data clouds floating safe above us. Though in reality packets of data travel along subterranean network cables to data server warehouses owned by corporations in unknown locations. Here personal data is stored, and further processed through big data analytics to inform and predict user behaviour. While there are concerns about cloud computing regarding privacy, security, and surveillance capitalism, as it is free, convenient and accessible, opting out seems unworkable. How do users reconcile and visualise this invisible technology?
Through personal mobile devices, customised search engines, and tailored advertising on social media the online experience is increasingly private. Removed from those around us, the user's personal perception of cloud computing can vary widely. This project casts a critical eye on the intimate space of people's imaginings of their cloud. What role does the metaphor of a cloud have in the user's perception of cloud computing? This project casts a critical eye on the intimate space of people's experience of cloud computing.
In the first part twenty-four people drew their cloud, including themselves in it. Three drawings that represent dominant themes were chosen: the factory, surveillance/spirituality, the noosphere. These are recreated into physical models of cloud computing. The resulting installation materialises user narratives as physical models of cloud computing infrastructures – cloud cabinets. Offering a tangible architecture in response to the cloud, this work reflects on the implications of the poetic metaphor of a cloud, and questions our perception and use of hidden technologies.

The problem of chronological correlation of archaeological materials of the Caucasus and the Near East has a crucial value in the development of a common framework of Caucasian chronological system. To establish the absolute age of Caucasian cultures, it is necessary to take into account the dates received for the archaeological material of the Near East considered similar to the Caucasian materials. It goes without saying that in the Near East there is a high probability of getting more precise absolute dates, e.g., by means of correlation of the stratigraphy of multi-layered settlements with the data of historical chronologies of Egypt and Mesopotamia.

The relationship between the Caucasus and the Middle East during the pre-Kura-Araxes
period [p. 192]
The problem of chronological correlation of archaeological materials of the Caucasus and the Near
East has a crucial value in the development of a common framework of Caucasian chronological
system. To establish the absolute age of Caucasian cultures, it is necessary to take into account the
dates received for the archaeological material of the Near East considered similar to the Caucasian
materials. It goes without saying that in the Near East there is a high probability of getting more
precise absolute dates, e.g., by means of correlation of the stratigraphy of multilayered settlements
with the data of historical chronologies of Egypt and Mesopotamia.
The determination of the links between the cultural and social developments of the Caucasus and
distinct regions of the Near East within the Uruk cultural context (i.e. eastern Anatolia, the Levant,
Mesopotamia and western Iran), is one of the most important aims for the archaeologists working on
problems of archaeology of the northern periphery of Near East and basing themselves on recent
researches in the Caucasus of the 4
millennium B.C. New indications on the overlapping in time of
the Kura-Araxes and Uruk cultures, which have been revealed in last years with much more
intensity than earlier, poses not only the problem of relation between these cultures but gives
possibility to reconsider the character of cultural and social developments between the highly
civilized societies of the core area of the Near East and its northern periphery and the regions
located beyond of the latter.
South Mesopotamian merchants of the late period of the Middle Uruk and Late Uruk, hungry for
semi-precious stones, timber and metal ores, established a whole range of trading-outposts along the
routes going to the mountains of Zagros and Taurus and the Caucasus. Basing themselves on G.
Algazes theory, about the underdevelopment of northern societies and the dominance of southern
city-states who obtain desired goods from the periphery through a kind of economic colonial system
(Algaze 1993passim), whole range of archaeological publications appeared about the so-called Late
Uruk expansion, most of which were linked with the supposed unbalanced relations between a main
centre (southern Mesopotamia with its growing cities and administration) and a less developed [p.
193] periphery (Anatolia and northern Mesopotamia), colonisation, search for land, escape from
pressure, search for raw materials, etc. (cf. Lyonnet 2010: 358).
Though the culture of Uruk (or Uruk civilization) was distributed over a wide area from the Levant
to Central Iran by local traders and colonists, causing the emergence of new colonies with local
economies, the problem of its origin is controvercial. The researchers initially tied it to the migration
of the newsettlers from the west, from Anatolia and even beyond (cf. Hutchinson 1935, 211-222).
We should also take into account that by the old, traditional view-point expressed by A. J. Tobler,
Braidwoods etc. the Gawra XIA cultural complex belonged to the newcomers in northern
Mesopotamia and the Amuq valley (Braidwood & Braidwood, 1960: 513; Tobler, 1950: 24-26).
Later became a popular concept according to which the formation of Uruk civilization is seen as a
result of a gradual transition from domestically produced on a slow wheel painted pottery to a mass-
produced by craftsmen on a fast wheel unpainted pottery. But data of Transcaucasian archaeological
material, in my opinion, contradict to the point of view of pure technological explanation of the
derivation of Uruk pottery and its subsequent distribution from Mesopotamia to the Caucasus.
If Uruk colonies, as a rule, are distinguishable from the indigenous settlements around them by a
complex of material culture: pottery and other artifacts, architecture and graves, we have in the
Caucasus quite different situation. More and more sites belonging to the culture of Leilatepe are
detected every year in southern Transcaucasia (see Almamedov 2012) and therefore to speak only
about of some outposts of Uruk colonists becomes quite irrelevant. As it has been expected, some
archaeologists already began to speak about the penetration of large masses of people of a quite new
migrants for this region bearers of Mesopotamian, Uruk tradition in the middle of the 4
millennium, who settled down in every region of the Caucasus, in the mountains and flatlands,
fundamentally changing the character of area and directing the economic and social development of
the host society along a radically new and progressive path. In Transcaucasia, they have allegedly
developed culture of Leilatepe tradition. Afterwards they penetrated the North Caucasus, as well in
large masses and rather intensively, and took participation in the creation of the northern Caucasian
Maikop cultural tradition, covering the entire territory of the Caucasus. They consider that Uruk
migrants had learned in the north how to build this type of burial mounds and brought the acquired
tradition back to the South Caucasus (Akhundov 2010; cf. Pitskhelauri 2012: 154-157). Rather
complicated picture, isnt it?
This problem emerged in the consequence of study of the recently excavated kurgans at Soyuq
Bulaq in western Azerbaijan which are dating to the beginning of the 4
millennium. Similar
kurgans have been excavated in Kavtiskhevi village in central Georgia. It seems that this [p. 194]
type of burial construction in Transcaucasia started nearly 1500 year earlier than traditionally was
accepted. These kurgans belong to the so-called Leylatepe culture which is considered as connected
with the Uruk tradition. Archaeologists came to conclusion that the practice of kurgan burial had
been already well established in the southern Caucasus during the Late Chalcolithic, the pottery
from burials shows affiliation with Late Chalcolithic 2-3 pottery from northern Mesopotamia
(Lyonnet, Akhundov, Almamedov et al., 2008: 27-44; Museyibli, 2008: 22). In their opinion, the
Leylatepe culture tribes afterwards migrated to the north in the mid-fourth millennium and played an
important part in the rise of the Maikop culture of the northern Caucasus (Museyibli, 2008: 22).
However, this very complex and controversial issue the origin and spread of burials with the
kurgan tradition requires a full and comprehensive study of archaeological data of the vast areas of
the Eurasian steppes, where they are so typical and even dictated by the environment that it is
difficult to imagine how they could have their origin in any other place, and a much broader scope
of research integrity as well than we have at our disposal today.
New generation of archaeologists unlike their predecessors, does not consider anymore the bearers
of Ubaid culture as the founders of so-called Leilatepe culture, but to the Mesopotamian Uruk or
Ubaid-Uruk tradition distributed to Transcaucasia. In their opinion, the fact that the founders of
culture Leilatepe were migrants from Mesopotamia now is without a doubt, but problem is a more
precise definition of the time of this migration (Almamedov 2008: 21-22).
The above-mentioned concept Ubaid-Uruk of course means the time of Ubaid/Uruk transition,
the cultural period in northern Mesopotamia during which S. Lloyd has seen the crucial indicator of
new era, unprecedented increase of metal objects (Lloyd 1978: 75). Recently, C. Marro, who had
connected chaff-faced wares collected in the eastern Lake Van district with Caucasian Chalcolithic
pottery and had related these to similar Amuq E/F wares found south of the Taurus mountains in
northern Mesopotamia, interpreted these resemblances as a sign of an intrusion of north
Mesopotamian immigrants into the Caucasus prior to the well-known Uruk expansion to the north
along the Upper Euphrates (Marro, 2000; see Kohl, 2007a: 167). B. Lyonnet places the Caucasus
within the pre-Uruk expansion phenomenon, the nature of which, in her words, is still to be
understood (Lyonnet 2010: 358) and which now needs to be transported earlier (beginning of the
Uruk period) and farther north (the Caucasus). The center and periphery explanation seems her far
too simple solution, as influences were reciprocal and more indicating on the equal relations
between the two areas, borrowing something from each other (Lyonnet 2007; Lyonnet 2010: 359).
The name of this period pre-Uruk was quite logically created to distinguish it from the Late Uruk
expansion towards the Upper Euphrates area, because the latter, as recently has become clear, [p.
195] cant be used to explain Mesopotamian-Caucasian connections even from pure chronological
reasons. This is quite obvious Late Uruk expansion is in reality much later phenomenon than
above-mentioned Mesopotamian ties of Caucasian archaeological material.
But such a dichotomy Late Uruk vs. pre-Uruk seems worth-less, there is no real need to invent
new terms to overcome a chronological discrepancy. If earlier it was thought, that the wave of
migrants from Mesopotamia to the Caucasus belonged to the representatives of Ubaid culture and
this view was generally accepted. In the 80s of the last century was believed that so-called
Leilatepe culture emerged as a result of the migration of the bearers of the Ubaid culture from
Mesopotamia to Transcaucasia (cf. Narimanov 1991: 32.). Though, nowadays, this wave is
determined as belonging to a later, Uruk period, when the Mesopotamian culture spread wider in the
western and north-eastern direction. The term Ubaid expansion was replaced by the concept
Uruk expansion, to denote, one and the same phenomenon Mesopotamian ties of Caucasian
At the same time, whole range of southern Transcaucasian sites, among them quite recently
excavated, reveal signs of Ubaid culture. In the second horizon of Areni-1 Cave in the Vayots Dzor
region of southern Armenia, the pottery reveals the co-existence of sites of the Areni cultural
traditions with the sites of Leilatepe Teghut Berikldeebi group, on the one hand, and with
Tilkitepe I (in eastern Anatolia, near the Van Lake). Some designs of the painted pottery of Areni
reveal similarity with the material of the Mesopotamian type from Mentesh Tepe (Zardaryan &
Gasparian 2012: 48) where recent researches prove ties with the Mesopotamian cultures during the
Terminal Ubaid and the transitional phase to the Late Chalcolithic, especially in its pottery (Lyonnet
In Nerkin Godedzor, Vorotan river canyon (Syunik, Armenia) large quantity of painted pottery of
the Ubaid culture has been recovered. Godedzor probably represents one of the northernmost
settlement discovered so far, which indicates a clear North Ubaid-related ceramic horizon. Its
ceramic assemblage helps us to define more precisely the northern borders of an area (including
Iranian Azerbaijan) culturally related to the Ubaid developments taking place in southern and
northern Mesopotamia. The site was possibly located on the edges of a region that was within the
interaction sphere of the Ubaid-related communities of northwest Iran. To the north, that is in the
Lesser Caucasus and the Ararat Plain regions, the local communities were developing at a totally
different and autonomous pace (Sioni complex) (Chataigner et al. 2010: 391).
The fact that the archaeological material of Sioni-Tsopi group of Georgia could be dated as
synchronous with North Ubaid period is proved by the findings of Sioni-type pottery with combed
patterns in Alikemektepe together with North Ubaid type pottery (avtaradze 1983, 58). The [p.
196] pottery of the North Ubaid type was found at the Armenian site Teghut, as well (Munchaev
1975: 120). At the same time, in the layers of Abdal-aziztepe, the layers of Ilanlitepe-Alikemektepe
type were overlapped by the material characteristic for sites of Leilatepe group (Aliev & Narimanov
In the opinion of Azerbaijanian archaeologists painted designs on the Mughan steppe pottery
(Alikemektepe etc.) only imitates the 5
millennium North Ubaid painted tradition and is more
roughly made and technologically inferior, therefore there is no need to explain their appearance in
the south-eastern Transcaucasia by the migration of the population with the Ubaid cultural tradition
(Almamedov 2008: 17, 19-20). Perhaps the explanation of above fact, we can get by the remark of
G. Stein, that the culture of Ubaid type has spread gradually outside of its core area and was
selectively appropriated by the communities located there, who transformed and used the distinctive
elements of above culture in ways that were fundamentally different from superficially similar sites
with Ubaid culture in southern Mesopotamia. These local regional identities persisted in parallel
with Ubaid identities, but seem to have been expressed in different social and cultural context (Stein
& zbal 2007; Stein 2010).
But the Transcaucasian sites with import or imitation of Ubaid pottery are quite impossible to fit
with the era of expansion of the Uruk culture outside its Mesopotamian homeland. As noted above,
it is quite impossible either to imagine that the resettlement of Uruk colonists in the Caucasus,
reliably assigned to pre-Kura-Araxes times, took place in the Late Uruk period. These facts are
obvious indications on the discrepancy of chronological character.
Drastic changes in the ceramic material and architecture of the Central Transcaucasian sites (e.g., in
Mentesh Tepe) are observable during the transitional phase from the Middle to the Late Chalcolithic
period, sometime during the second half of the 5
millennium, clearly pointing to influences from
northern Mesopotamia, even though local features are still visible (Lyonnet et al. 2012, 177-178).
If we intend to date the Late Chalcolithic culture of the Caucasus and its hypothetical contacts with
the Urukians, it is necessary to pay due attention to the dating of starting point of the Kura-Araxes
culture and simultaneously determine to which period of time belongs the still unsolved problem of
interrelation between the Caucasian Chalcolithic and Uruk cultures. For this one of the first tasks
should be the definition of the time of penetration of the Kura-Araxes culture in the Middle East. [p.
I have had in mind the fact of the Transcaucasian origin of the Kura-Araxes culture and its later
spread to the Middle East, where archaeological strata were more accurately dated than in
Transcaucasia these circumstances were giving us a favorable opportunity to determine the
starting date of this culture in Transcaucasia. This culture covers a much larger area than the land
between the two rivers in Transcaucasia, the Kura and the Araxes; indeed it covers an important part
of the Middle East i.e. eastern Anatolia, the Levant and north-western Iran. However, Transcaucasia
is generally accepted to represent the core area of the initial formation of the Kura-Araxes culture.
The dating of the first obvious signs of the Kura-Araxes culture found in situ in the layers of local
cultures of the Middle East represented the terminus ante quem for similar and antedating
archaeological artifacts of Transcaucasian Kura-Araxes culture. The dates obtained for the
archaeological material of the Kura-Araxes origin detected in the Near Eastern cultural layers, by
correlation with the evidence of historical sources of Mesopotamia and Egypt, constitute an
important argument per se to demonstrate the necessity of considerably shifting back of the accepted
dating of the Transcaucasian Kura-Araxes culture, as the latter belongs to the period earlier than the
Near Eastern Kura-Araxes materials; consequently, this could be done even without using the
calibrated radiocarbon dates.
In the north-western part of the Middle East in the Late Uruk period a remarkable phenomenon took
place the destruction of the sites with traits typical of Late Uruk period, and appearance of some
signs of the so-called Kura-Araxes culture of the northern origin. The Kura-Araxes pottery of the
advanced stage has been discovered in the layers of Late Uruk colonies along the Upper Euphrates.
It seems that economical importance of the Late Uruk enclaves and outposts, such as Arslantepe VIA,
Hassek Hyk 5, Habuba Kabira-Tell Qanas, Jebel Aruda, Tepecik 3 as well as of Godin Tepe V in western-
central Iran, attracted the attention of these invaders - characterized by the red-black, hand-made
burnished pottery, the high-arsenic copper metallurgy and certain types of metal artifacts, the
wattle and daub houses and the particular type of hearths. The intrusive character of the Kura-
Araxes culture in this area became obvious after the exposure of the stratigraphical sequence,
documented at Arslantepe, where level VIB1 containing the material of this culture interrupted the
preceding (level VIA) and following development (level VIB2) of local horizons (cf., e.g.,
Kavtaradze 1999: 78f.; Kavtaradze 2004: 543-546).
But earlier, already during Arslantepe VII layer, there were found sherds of the red-black, hand-
made, but of the high technological level burnished pottery, supposedly of the Kura-Araxes
origin. They appear gradually at Arslantepe in period VII, overlapping with chaff-faced buff or red-
slipped wares that are generally linked to the northern Syria-Mesopotamian environment. In the
opinion of M. Frangipane, this finding clearly points to the fact that even at the end of period VII
[p. 198] in Arslantepe local population was in contact with the communities of the Kura-Araxes
cultural traditions (Frangipane 2000: 443, 444), the circumstance which permits us to propose the
existence of the bearers of the latter traditions already at that time, i.e. during the Middle Uruk
period. At the same time, we should have in mind the fact, that the red-black type pottery of the
Kura-Araxes cultures is a sign not of earlier, but of the developed stage of this culture.
The overview of evidence from chronologically relevant layers containing some archaelogical signs
of the Kura-Araxes culture allows us at the present stage of our knowledge to put the starting date of
this culture in Transcaucasia somewhere during the Middle Uruk period, at least. In the following
time, in the second half of the 4
millennium nearly simultaneously on the northern periphery of the
Middle East the activity of the Uruk colonists and the bearers of the Kura-Araxes culture can be
Most recent discoveries from Areni-1 put the bar even higher, demonstrating that the origin of the
distinctive Kura-Araxes cultural artifact assemblage lies in the Late Chalcolithic of the late 5
early 4
millennia (Wilkinson et al. 2012: 20). In the opinion of the members of excavating team,
Areni-1 can be placed in the putative hiatus between the Late Chalcolithic Sioni and the fully
developed Kura-Araxes culture (Wilkinson et al. 2012: 30, cf. Kohl 2007: 69, 70). But how all this
could be reconciled with the supposed contacts of the pre-Kura-Araxian population of the
Caucasus with Urukians?
It is timely remark made by P. Kohl, that the well-known Uruk expansion has its predecessor,
though it have left far less footprints for their presence in the Caucasus and therefore no Habuba
Kabira has been uncovered in the Caucasus region, and its discovery would be most unlikely (Kohl
2007a: 168). But who was this predecessor? Thats question!
Already in the mid-70s, some Russian archaeologists (R. Munchaev and M. Andreeva) noticed
among Mesopotamian artifacts of the 4th millennium, especially in ceramics, pottery similar to the
early period of Maikop and proposed formation of the Maikop culture of the north-western
Caucasus in consequence of the infiltration of the Near Eastern/Mesopotamian groups of the
population into the northern Caucasus (cf. Munchaev 1975: 328-334, 375-377; Andreeva 1977: 56).
Nowadays, some archaeologists are connecting to the migration of the Uruk colonists not only the
emergence of the Maikop culture, but as well, and primarily, of the Transcaucasian Chalcolithic
culture which afterwards have been spread from there into the northern Caucasus (e.g., Museyibli
2008: 22; cf. Munchaev & Amirov 2012: 37-46). [p. 199]
In my book published in 1981, I tried for the determination of the age of Teghut (in the Ararat valley,
Armenia) and the sites of its circle, to pay attention to the problem of origin of Gawra XIA cultural
complex, which in my opinion had some traits typical for Teghut (Kavtaradze 1981). Well known
fact, that in Tepe Gawra the transformation or change from Ubaid to Uruk is very well visible. It
was declared that a study of ceramic change in the Ubaid and Uruk periods of Mesopotamia
illustrates how "degeneration" can be correlated with the development of complex societies in the
region. Between the Ubaid and Uruk layers is visible obvious and sudden change in shapes and
fabric becomes decidedly inferior, shapes - crude, profiles - irregular; almost all distinctive late
Ubaid forms disappear, in strata XIA tournette used less often than in XII. Painting ceases and no
other ornamentation takes its place until painted pottery regains popularity in the latest Uruk/early
Jamdat Nasr levels (Falconer 1981: 54, 59, 60).
Then I supposed and I still support this idea that first of all the admixture of new population ought to
be main reason of such a change in the culture. The archaeological material of Tepe Gawra XIA
reveals some hereditary ties, though perhaps not a direct, with the material typical of Teghut
(Kavtaradze 1981: pl. III, IV; Kavtaradze 1983: 56). For example, some similarities can be observed
between the pottery and figurines of Tepe Gawra XIA and Teghut. In regards to architecture, if rectangular
houses were characteristic of Tepe Gawra XII, in the subsequent level, Gawra XIA, round houses (Tobler
1950, pls VI, VIII) appeared, that are typical of the early farming communities of Transcaucasia. It is
interesting that the people of Tepe Gawra XII and XIA used various types of copper ores; however,
copper of the later level differs in the high content of arsenic (Tobler 1950: 212; Kavtaradze 1983: 56, n.144,
n.146; Kavtaradze 1999: 73). It should be noted as well that the sharp and full difference is
noticeable between the pottery of Gawra XII and XIA levels (Perkins 1949: 165-167; Porada 1965:
146). The Gawra XIA pottery is of a very low quality compared to its predecessor (Perkins 1949:
166). I would like to remind once again that according to old, traditional viwpoint expressed by A. J.
Tobler, Braidwoods etc. the Gawra XIA-Amuq F cultural complex belongs to the newcomers in
northern Mesopotamia and the Amuq valley (Tobler 1950: 24-26).
In connection with the problem of Mesopotamian-Caucasian interrelation, especially actual and
stimulating seem B. Lyonnets observations. B. Lyonnet emphasizes the importance the Caucasus
area played in the formation of the Uruk culture in Mesopotamia (Lyonnet 2010: 363). In the
opinion of B. Lyonnet to consider Transcaucasia only as a periphery providing raw materials does
not fit well with what we know of its level of development reached during the Neolithic, and with
the complexity of the burials and their wealth during the Chalcolithic, some signs of metal
production; even more, several innovations that appear at that time in Mesopotamia seem to have
been borrowed from the Caucasus area because of their long tradition there, like the use of firing in
[p. 200] a reducing atmosphere, the polishing on ceramics, the combed decoration, the so-called
Cananean blades or the introduction of sheep-breeding for the production of wool (Lyonnet 2007;
Lyonnet 2010: 362-363).
R. Munchaev and Sh. Amirov recently proposed an idea about the shaping of the Halaf culture of
Mesopotamia by the cultural influence coming from Transcaucasia (Munchaev & Amirov 2009: 45).
Only one thing we can say with certainty, the north was not a backward periphery of the south. B.
Peasnall and M. S. Rothman, studying scrupulously the Tepe Gawra excavation reports in the funds
of Pennsylvania Museum and not only that, found reasons to challenge G Algazes above-mentioned
theory and proved that economic specialization and political elaboration (complexity) in the north
were developing before intensified interaction with the south (Peasnall & Rothman 2003: 38).
Now it is admitted that the Mesopotamians did not dominate the people of distant peripheries.
Comparisons of local context and Uruk show that peaceful interaction between them, which lasted
for 300-400 years, seems to have been in the form of symmetric economic and political relations
rather than colonialist dominance (Stein 2002). The recent discoveries made in northern
Mesopotamia at Brak and Hamoukar, added to those made long ago at Gawra, showed that, already
in the beginning of the 4
millennium, the region was far more developed than expected (Lyonnet
2010: 358, 359).
The distance-parity interaction model characteristic of the Uruk colonies proposed by G. Stein
(Stein 1998: 220-255) better explains the organization and long-term effects of cultural contact
between complex societies and less developed neighboring polities than the hegemonic control by
the core area as postulated in the alternative G. Algazes world system theory. The leveling effects
of distance give rise to a highly variable social landscape in which the smaller, less complex polities
of the periphery could and did play an active role in structuring networks of interregional
interaction (Stein 1998: 220, 246-247). If with increasing distance it becomes difficult for
Mesopotamians to dominate local communities e.g., in south-eastern Anatolia etc. and retaining
economic autonomy in the Uruk enclaves there, it would have be even more difficult to retain such
dominance in the Caucasus.
It is now clear that the later stage of Middle Uruk and the Late Uruk period is contemporary with the
Kura-Araxes culture of the advanced stage and that it is impossible to date by the Late (or even
Middle) Uruk period the archaeological material comparable with the culture of Uruk and found at
the Caucasian so-called Chalcolithic sites of the pre-Kura-Araxes time. Therefore, the conclusion
can only be one: the aforementioned parallels of the pre-Kura-Araxes period relate [p. 201] mainly
to the Early Uruk or better to say to the pre-Uruk/Ubaid period, if we assume that in shaping of the
Mesopotamian Uruk culture attended cultural influx of Caucasian origin.

At HCLG committee session, housing minister says media has a responsibility to shape more positive perceptions of social housing.
Kit Malthouse has urged an end to 'poverty porn' TV and other media portrayals of social housing as a source of problems.
Appearing before the HCLG committee, Malthouse acknowledged the "challenge" inherent in tackling stigma around social housing and its tenants.
Where that challenge could initially be met through management initiatives around repairs and integration, media, he said, had a wider responsibility to temper the 'language' around social housing and the spread of perception.
Stigma around social housing was a key issue to emerge during consultations over the Social Housing Green Paper.
The session was strong on aspiration as opposed to actuality, with Malthouse stressing a need to take the tenant body with whatever reform arose out of the Green Paper.
Reform, he said, should not alienate tenants broadly satisfied with providers.
And engagement was "notoriously difficult" to measure, he said – effectively throwing the initiative back at providers.
Where funding for a decent homes standard would be a product of what comes out of the Green Paper, Malthouse outlined his ideal as a standard applicable across the public and private sector housing offer.
On building targets, Malthouse stressed need for long-term signals on housing investment to the public and private sector to secure supply chains in the face of competition from other infrastructure projects.
But modular, though, represented a "huge opportunity" for housing building, he said, outlining MHCLG initiatives underway to promote off-site construction activity.
Malthouse drew back, slightly, on the introduction of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or so-called league tables for housing providers – as floated by the Green Paper – when tenants could not just "up sticks" to go elsewhere if their provider didn't meet KPIs.
Telling the committee tenant focused answers may emerge from transparency and engagement work now underway, Malthouse said Government could use KPIs to define grant provision for providers or introduce KPIs applicable at national, regional or local level.
The committee expressed a concern, acknowledged by Malthouse, that providers would 'play up' to KPIs.
Though Malthouse made no commitment to a single homes ombudsman – in the face of competing regulatory interest – he confirmed the concept of a housing court was subject to a "call for evidence".
He saw as a concern the fact that so many constituency MPs were now being drawn into the resolution of tenant/landlord disputes.
While there was no specific funding for sprinklers in tower blocks as there is for issues around ACM cladding, if a council made a case to MHCLG for sprinkler funding there would, he said, be a "grown up conversation".
The session wrapped up with a question on Brexit and its impact on EIB housing funding.
Malthouse said that with a deal be believed existing loan commitments would continue as future participation was negotiated.
But without a deal the future for such funding was not so clear, he said.

India is trying to transform itself into a manufacturing economy, and for this, it must find workers. In this case, workers have been brought here at government expense from remote villages, from a population that has never before been thrust into the economy: unmarried women.

I've never found a lip and cheek tint that agreed with me. The ones I've tried are all drying on the lips and have a short wear time. So I gave up on them very early on my time as a beauty blogger. I didn't really explore different brands because I thought they were similar with each other but then I found these ColourTints from Colourette being raved so I had to try them out for myself.
The first of its kind in the local scene, these boldly pigmented tints come in a comfortable hydrating formula with spf 15 that keeps lips and cheeks moisturized and protected while giving a natural blush. Infused with Argan oil – a super-moisturizer that nourishes the lips almost instantly and promotes healing of dry and cracked lips. It also provides superior protection from environmental assault.
• Blends smoothly and evenly on skin and lips
• No more uneven tinted areas
• Boldly pigmented
• Hyper staying power
• Oil when applied then dries up as a stain
These ColourTint Intense Blend Lip and Cheek Oil have 9 different shades available. They come in these little clear glass bottles containing 12g of products. These are oil-based tints so if they're left for a period of time, the oil and the tint separates. They need to be shaken up before use — it's written across the bottles. The shades I have are Dionne,which is a coral, and Naomi, a warm pink.
The applicator is a flimsy thin brush. It's neither impressive nor out of this world. It does what it does.
The tints feel comfortable and almost lightweight on the lips. Granted they don't really feel hydrating, for me at least, but I think the most important fact is they don't dry my lips out. And the pigmentation packs so much punch with a single drop. On my swatches below, you'll see how they appear unblended and blended. The blended ones are only a drop each. I am literally blown away by these details that I have never experienced before in any lip and cheek tint. On the lips they stay for about 5 to 6 hours before they fade leaving a nice and soft stain that stays just as long. On the cheeks, they last longer. I was able to wear them for at least 10 hours straight without reapplication before they totally fade.
By the way, these are the ingredients.
They're better applied on top of cream or liquids because they blend better and easier with those mediums. On top of powders, it becomes a little tough. What I do is I apply them after I've put on my liquid foundation or BB cream. Then I go to setting everything up with a powder. Yes, that includes the tint. If I wanted it to wear longer, I dust a powder blush in a similar color shade lightly over it instead.
I fell in love with these the first time I used them so I am giving these my TWO THUMBS UP! I want more right now but the shades I want are out of stock. Actually I want to collect them all one day.
These are only Php 249 each and they are available on the Colourette website and Shopee page. For other information about the brand, go here.

Snow collects together titles celebrating the scenic, recreational and spiritual call of New Zealand's mountains and ice. They include retro ski classics Flare and Off the Edge, Sir Ed saga Kaipo Wall, and NZ's first Oscar nominated film Snows of Aorangi. The collection features everything from ski ballet, Middle Earth glaciers and mountain parrots, to polar ice-fishing.
Heartland host Gary McCormick discovers the scenic and rustic charms of Glenorchy, near Queenstown. McCormick meets Rosie Grant, who has lived in the same cottage since 1916, and shares her home with 17 cats; checks out Paradise House, the first guest accommodation in the area, now owned by Dave Miller; and plans to have a day at the races. But the film crew's plans go awry when the settlement suffers serious flooding, and stories of sand-bagging, stock rescue and property recovery replace the more typical Heartland fare.
This 1949 NFU film is a whistle-stop tour of Aotearoa that, per the title, takes in the full gamut of the scenic wonderland. Splendidly filmed in Kodachrome, there are lakes (Tutira, Manapouri, Te Anau, Wakatipu), caves (Waitomo), mountains (Cook/Aoraki, Egmont/Taranaki) and forests and farms aplenty, with the occasional city sojourn and an obligatory ferry shot. In the narration indefatigable nature is harnessed for man's needs and appreciation. Of note is a sequence on gum-collector Nicholas Yakas, who shows impressive agility as he scales a giant kauri.
Scenic vistas of Aotearoa have become an important part of New Zealand identity. Hand-coloured photos produced by Whites Aviation from 1945 were formative in the genre, and hugely popular after WWll. This 2016 Loading Doc profiles 'colouring girl' Grace Rawson, now 83, who uses cotton wool and brushes to demonstrate the meticulous process behind colouring the images. The short was co-directed by artist and commercials director Greg Wood, and author Peter Alsop (Selling the Dream), whose book on the photos, Hand-Coloured New Zealand, was published in 2016.
Directed by David Fowler for the National Film Unit, tourism promo Holiday For Susan enthusiastically follows 22-year-old Aussie Susan's tour of Godzone with Kiwi lass Lorraine Clark. En route, Susan finds a husband in Auckland's David Thomas. Abounding with shots of scenic wonder (cleverly integrated with signs of the country's industrial progress), and Susan's legs (many aspects of the film would have had Kate Sheppard rolling in her grave), the film presents a jaunty portrait of 60s NZ as a destination for young, well-to-do, globetrotters.
Made by Philip McDonald (Such a Stupid Way to Die) for the National Water and Soil Conservation Authority, this award-winning short explores the impact of people on New Zealand's water cycle. Shots of irrigation, industrial waste and run-off from dairy farming show Godzone's 1972 waterways to be far short of 100% pure — the closing national anthem played over polluted rivers underlines the point. A young Sam Neill (then working at the National Film Unit) cameos as an eau-so-suave drinker in a scene showing the disconnection between water use and where it comes from.
After bad weather curtailed an ambitious film about Mount Aspiring in 1949, Brian Brake returned to the Southern Alps the following year to shoot Mount Cook — the first NFU film to feature Brake's mountain imagery in glorious blue and white colour. The wait was worth it: the longtime mountain-lover coaxes a succession of breathtaking images of the cloud-piercing mountain — plus a rollicking snow fight scene. The plot, what there is of it, centres on some skiers wandering closer to Aoraki/Mt Cook to get a better look, then demonstrating the joys of descent.
Created by writer Greg McGee, Marlin Bay was one of the first primetime drama series from South Pacific Pictures. It follows the events of a far-north resort and casino; a number of well-known actors made up the cast of earthy locals, wealthy foreigners and city weekenders, including Ilona Rodgers, Don Selwyn, Andy Anderson and Katie Wolfe. Kevin Smith received a 1995 Best Supporting Actor nod for his role as villain Paul Cosic. In this episode the swarthy Cosic cooks up an illegal smuggling scheme to diversify a farm's income stream.
Before he was a British MP Austin Mitchell spent time downunder, where he was a well known NZBC broadcaster in the 60s and published bestselling book The Half Gallon Quarter Acre Pavlova Paradise, a satirical commentary on all things Kiwi. In the first part of this three part series, he returns south to clock the changes. He begins at Otago University, where he lectured in the 60s, and notes a new Pākehā view of their history. Mitchell then talks wine with actor Sam Neill in Central Otago, and en route to Christchurch meets some uniquely 'mainland' entrepreneurs.

Thirty years ago, Fred Cerrone decided to turn his vision into reality by establishing Hotel Equities. Our Founder and Chairman was a former award-winning hotel general manager in his early 20's, and he used his knowledge of the industry to create a company that better served the needs of associates, guests and investors more efficiently. Today, Hotel Equities' portfolio exceeds 130 hotels located throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Hotel Equities is a trusted business partner, known for our ability to build equity and generate upside potential. We have a team of associates who appreciate our people-centric culture and are passionate about their work. In turn, this helps us build strong relationships that facilitate expansion, new construction and rebranding or re-use development. Satisfied guests frequently rave about our uncompromising service and they return for more. For all these reasons, we have received industry recognition for management and service excellence, year after year. Marriott International twice named Hotel Equities the recipient of its prestigious "Spirit to Serve Award" for community service. The award recognized the company's values as expressed through employee volunteerism & giving back to the communities they serve. Among other top brand recognitions, Hotel Equities is also the recipient of Hilton's Connie Award.
We understand the importance of smart investments and we know that our associates are our most valuable asset. That is why we developed a world-class hotel management training curriculum. We value the individual and reward diligence. The payback is undeniable, as Hotel Equities' turnover rate is lower than the industry average.

Crypto Update: Coins Extend Weekly Losses as Altcoins Still Glued to Support Levels
We are having another broadly negative session so far in the cryptocurrency segment, with most of the majors sporting limited losses, and with only a few coins showing relative strength. While the picture is far from being disastrous, we have seen some technical deterioration in the top coins, as Ripple is still bleeding lower, and as Ethereum fell below the $200 price level again.
DASH/USD, 4-Hour Chart Analysis
The likes of Litecoin, Dash, EOS, IOTA, NEO, and ETC are still weak from a technical perspective, and although some of the minor coins are still faring somewhat better, at least short-term, the overall picture remains overwhelmingly bearish.
Bitcoin's stability is still a plus for bulls here, but with no sign of meaningful bullish momentum among the top digital currencies, traders should remain defensive even with regards to the relatively stronger coins.
BTC/USD, 4-Hour Chart Analysis
The most valuable coin is trading slightly lower amid the segment-wide drift lower, but the $6275 support is still well below the current level, and the volatility in BTC's market continues to be very low. A move below would warn of a test of the $6000 and $5850 levels, and for now, the short-term sell signal is still in place in our trend model despite Bitcoin's stability.
The next major support zone below $5850 is found between $5000 and $5100, while resistance is ahead at $6500, $6750, and $7000.
Ripple's Weakness Casts a Shadow on the Market
XRP/USD, 4-Hour Chart Analysis
Ripple hasn't been able to hold last week's gains, and the coin moved below $0.46 this week, warning of a coming test of the $0.42 level, and a possible resumption of its broader downtrend after its surge in September.
Below $0.42 support levels are found near $0.375 and $0.355, and further weakness could soon lead to a downgrade in our trend model with regards to the long-term outlook, with strong resistance levels still ahead near $0.51, $0.54, and $0.57.
LTC/USD, 4-Hour Chart Analysis
Litecoin has been one of the stronger coins so far today, but from a broader perspective, it remains relatively weak and the $51 support level looks more and more vulnerable. A break below primary support would likely lead to a test of the bear market low near $47, with the next major support zone below that found at $44.
The broad declining trend is clearly intact, in the coin and traders and investors shouldn't enter new positions here, with our trend model being negative on all time-frames, and with strong resistance levels ahead near $56, $59, and $64.
ETH/USD, 4-Hour Chart Analysis
Ethereum continues to show relative weakness, and although remained stable in recent days, the broader setup hints on a likely test of the bear-market low. The coin drifted below the $200 level today, but volatility remains low, and trading activity is still very light.
The currency remains on sell signals on all time-frames, even as the immediate outlook is rather neutral, with key support found near $180, $170, and $160, and with strong resistance zones ahead near $235 and $260.

Weed Clothing Brand
weed clothing brand
Marijuana use is becoming more common as states across the country begin to legalize it for medical and recreational use. It is not unusual to see people wearing stoner clothing in states that are legal and states where marijuana is still illegal. If you are looking for the best weed clothing brand, you do not have to look anywhere else besides Bud's Tee Shirt Club. Our team can answer any questions that you may have about our original tee shirt designs. At Bud's Tee Shirt Club, we send out a monthly tee shirt design each and every month. Every design is promised to be one hundred percent original and not found anywhere else. That is what makes us the best weed clothing brand.
What Kind of Marijuana Clothing to Expect
Marijuana clothing often depicts images of pot related items such as bongs, dab rigs, and vape pens. Some even have more simple designs consisting of images such as marijuana leaves. It is understandable that stoners are looking for something a bit more creative. At Bud's Tee Shirt Club, we provide an exclusive design that is created by the world's best artists and designers. Once the tee shirts are printed and shipped, the designs we create are then retired to our online gallery and are never reprinted again. Stoners who are looking to create one of a kind looks can count on us at Bud's Tee Shirt Club.
Reasonable Rates for Cannabis Related Tee Shirts
Cannabis clothing is surprisingly inexpensive. Even though our designs at Bud's Tee Shirt Club are some of the most exclusive on the web, we do not charge an arm and a leg. We provide free shipping to members and take pride in providing reasonable prices for our cannabis tee shirts. Members tend to save more money than people who just made a single onetime purchase. That is just one of the many benefits that becoming a member of Bud's Tee Shirt Club can provide. There are a lot of sites online that sell weed clothes, but none of them can even begin to compare to the outstanding services we provide at Bud's Tee Shirt Club.
Why wear Cannabis Clothing?
Wearing cannabis clothing is one way that you can show your support for the cannabis community. Stigmas circle the cannabis community even though more states are legalizing it. By donning weed clothing, you can show the world that cannabis is not as bad as some people make it out to be. It does not matter if you live in a legal or illegal state. Cannabis clothing can help you make a statement that the stigmas should end. Stand up for what you believe in by opting to wear stoner apparel.
If you are in the market for weed clothing, you should get in touch with our team at Bud's Tee Shirt Club to learn more information about how we can serve you. Each design we offer is inspired by a different marijuana strain every single month. Contact us today.
