Data Warehouse from the Ground Up at SQL Saturday Orlando, FL on Oct. 10th
SQL Saturday #442 is upon us and yours truly will be presenting in Orlando, Florida on October 10th alongside Mitchell Pearson (b|t). The session is scheduled at 10:35 AM and will last until 11:35 AM. I'm very excited to be presenting at SQL Saturday Orlando this year as it'll be my first presenting this session in person and my first time speaking at SQL Saturday Orlando! If you haven't registered yet for this event, you need to do that. This event will be top notch!
My session is called Designing a Data Warehouse from the Ground Up. What if you could approach any business process in your organization and quickly design an effective and optimal dimensional model using a standardized step-by-step method? In this session I'll discuss the steps required to design a unified dimensional model that is optimized for reporting and follows widely accepted best practices. We'll also discuss how the design of our dimensional model affects a SQL Server Analysis Services solution and how the choices we make during the data warehouse design phase can make or break our SSAS cubes. You may remember that I did this session a while back for Pragmatic Works via webinar. I'll be doing the same session at SQL Saturday Orlando but on-prem! ;)
So get signed up for this event now! It's only 11 days away!
Create Date Dimension with Fiscal and Time
Here are three scripts that create and Date and Time Dimension and can add the fiscal columns too. First run the Dim Date script first to create the DimDate table. Make sure you change the start date and end date on the script to your preference. Then run the add Fiscal Dates scripts to add the fiscal columns. Make sure you alter the Fiscal script to set the date offset amount. The comments in the script will help you with this.
This zip file contains three SQL scripts.
Create Dim Date
Create Dim Time
Add Fiscal Dates
These will create a Date Dimension table and allow you to run the add fiscal script to add the fiscal columns if you desire. The Create Dim Time will create a time dimension with every second of the day for those that need actual time analysis of your data.
Make sure you set the start date and end date in the create dim date script. Set the dateoffset in the fiscal script.

Hello to all,
Well once again I am interested to write a new blog post and thinking on which topic I should write on then I suddenly came up with my mind regarding this Topic.
Also, this may be simply for one but for someone it will be helpful for those who don't know how to do it.
while working ,I build a SSIS package by using BIDS and we can easily execute it from BIDS project but all I want to do it from the the SQL query from SSMS coz I dont want to open the BIDS and execute the package manually while i am working in SSMS.So, after some research I found it can be done by using a store procedure called xp_cmdshell.
Generally, talking about this store procedure xp_cmdshell: "xp_cmdshell" is an extended stored procedure provided by Microsoft and stored in the master database. This procedure allows you to issue operating system commands directly to the Windows command shell via T-SQL code. If needed, the output of these commands will be returned to the calling routine.
so,to enable this we can simply run the script as:
USE masterGOEXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1GORECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDEGOEXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1GORECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDEGOEXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 0GO
Alternatively, we can do it by using the "SQL Server 2005 Surface Area configuration" SQL Server 2005 onwards i think so.
Then ,You can run dtexec from the xp_cmdshell prompt.
The following example shows how to run a package called Package.dtsx and ignore the return code:
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /f "C:\Package.dtsx"'
where the dtexec command prompt utility is used to configure and execute SQL Server Integration Services packages.
Also,if we need a return code from SSIS package to SSMS then,
The following example shows how to run the same package and capture the return code:
DECLARE @returncode intEXEC @returncode = xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /f "C:\Package.dtsx"'
For this there might be a lot of solution but i simply like this method to execute the SSIS Package from SSMS by using store Procedure .
So,hope this might help someone. :)

Display and video ads from Obama's campaign reflect an integrated cross-media messaging approach.
President Barack Obama recently referred to Mitt Romney by name for the first time. Now, his campaign's web ads are doing the same. In what appears to be a first, Obama for America is using its online display and video advertising to directly attack Romney, the likely GOP nominee for president.
"President Obama would end big oil's tax breaks. Romney won't," states a display ad recently spotted by ClickZ Politics. Clickable pre-roll video ads on YouTube reinforce the message. Both ads - including the video spot - encourage people to click to "Get the Facts," on a "Big Oil" related page on the Obama site. The page features a TV ad suggesting the oil industry supports Romney, who will stand with them when it comes to tax breaks.
The majority of Obama's reelection campaign ads online so far have not included issue-based messages; rather, they've centered on getting people to join his campaign and stand with him and his family for the middle class. "Help the Obamas stand up for working Americans," has been a common refrain in the ads for months.
The introduction of online messaging via the ads and a handful of YouTube videos launched in the past week that directly mention Romney appears to be a cross-media effort by OFA. In a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors last week, Obama name-checked Romney for the first time. The coordinated messaging reflects the campaign's strong approach to cross-media integration, most likely enabled through strategy discussions that include digital media staff and consultants.
The display ad was probably targeted behaviorally to people who have visited the Obama campaign site or based on other online interactions. Other information associated with the ad suggests it may have been targeted to people who look at energy and defense related content online.
The BarackObama.com/big-oil landing page features additional information contrasting Obama's and Romney's energy plans, and does not ask for money. Instead, the page only includes an email sign up form which leads to a donation page.

Abstract: The Later Prehistory of North-West Europe provides a unique, up-to-date, and easily accessible synthesis of the later prehistoric archaeology of north-west Europe, transcending political and language barriers that can hinder understanding. By surveying changes in social forms, landscape organization, monument types, and ritual practices over six millennia, the volume reassesses the prehistory of north-west Europe from the late Mesolithic to the end of the pre-Roman Iron Age. It explores how far common patterns of social development are apparent across north-west Europe, and whether there were periods when local differences were emphasized instead. In relation to this, it also examines changes through time in the main axes of contact between the various regions of continental Europe, Britain, and Ireland. Key to the volume's broad scope is its focus on the vast mass of new evidence provided by recent development-led excavations. The authors collate data that has been gathered on thousands of sites across Britain, Ireland, northern France, the Low Countries, western Germany, and Denmark, using sources including unpublished 'grey literature' reports. The results challenge many aspects of previous narratives of later prehistory, allowing the volume to present a distinctively fresh perspective.

This thesis represents the first full study of their British development for fifty years. The catalogue of penannulars originally compiled by Elizabeth Fowler in the late 1950s has been more than doubled, allowing a thorough re-analysis of chronological variation and continuity in stylistic development, distribution, use and deposition. This has been carried out via broad analysis of the penannular database and two regional case studies looking at South-West England and Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, the two areas where penannulars were concentrated throughout their chronology. Many previous studies have focused only on the later penannular types, leading to an unbalanced approach dominated by the preoccupations of early medieval archaeology. This has created the perception that penannulars had a simple evolutionary development that contributed to the straightforward survival of a 'Celtic' culture in some regions during the Roman period and beyond. To counterbalance this, analysis here has particularly focused on the earlier end of the penannular chronology. As a result an alternative picture is presented, of a highly complex development influenced by Continental parallels, which stands in deep contrast to the simplistic sequences proposed in most previous studies. The ever increasing corpus of theoretical work on bodily adornment has also been drawn on, enabling a more nuanced approach that moves us away from the idea that appearance is just an external manifestation of a single, static form of identity and instead recognises that it plays a vital role in an active and continual process of forming and maintaining multiple, complex, overlapping and sometimes opposing identities. 2015-10-01T14:50:49Z Among the Rocks – a first look at medieval Duweishat, from the archive. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/33112 Title: Among the Rocks – a first look at medieval Duweishat, from the archive. Authors: Edwards, David N. Abstract: The Duweishat area of the southern Batn al - Hajar seems likely to represent a not atypical rural settlement landscape of this notoriously rugged and inhospitable region, and one almost equidistant (c. 110 km) from the two major medieval centres of Sai and Faras. If the wider region is more popularly glos sed as the "Belly of Stones", as suggested by Herman Bell, its Nubian/Nobiin form of Kídin Tuu may better be re presented as 'among the rocks' . I ts core was the area between Saras and Kidin Kony ('the upstream end of the rocks') in Sonki (Bell 1970: 44 - 46) , with Duweishat very much in its belly. Such a name does not misrepresent this area , far, in many ways from Old Dongola, the site of so much of Włod ek Godlewski 's varied research at the heart of medieval Makuria .

T. Abstract: Within archaeology a range of new approaches, which we might broadly term relational, or post-human, are developing a radical critique of many areas of our disciplinary thought and practice. For example, they have challenged archaeologists to reconceptualise categories of person and thing and the relations, or mixtures, through which both are produced. So far, however, such approaches have had little to say directly on the concept of identity, despite the latter's importance to archaeology over the last 30 years. Nevertheless, it is clear that these approaches' avowedly ontological level of critique have the potential to make a dramatic impact on how we think about identity in archaeology, because of the challenge they make to approaches that prioritise humans over things. In this paper I explore the potential consequences of post-humanism for archaeologies of identity, and set out how our approaches in this vital and vibrant area must be reworked in the light of this emerging challenge.

Evidence is drawn from building techniques, ceramic and glass tablewares, foodways as manifest through storage/preparation vessels and faunal remains, alcohol and tobacco-related objects, and materials related to dress and personal adornment. The aim of this research is to make substantial contributions to the study of Quakers, to the study of the influence of beliefs and values in colonial situations and past cultural traditions in general, and to the study of the rise and spread of eighteenth-century consumerism associated with the Industrial Revolution. Beliefs and values possess material manifestations. To link the material archaeological evidence to cultural ideals, this proposed research focuses on behavior which may be documented in the archaeological record. The full potential of the archaeological contribution to issues surrounding the varying degree of adherence to Quaker beliefs and values may be realized through consideration of all available types of material culture. An analytical focus on the style of consumption and technology is considered essential for the study of tenets, beliefs, and values in the archaeological record. The revival of archaeological theories of style is advocated as the primary means archaeologists have available to study the manifestation of beliefs, values, and the underlying ethos through variation in material culture. The revival of an archaeological focus on style enables a more full realization of the goals of social archaeology and the consideration of the significance of a research project at the higher scales of relevance: the scale of issues of importance in history and the social sciences in general, and the scale of the contribution research may render towards developing solutions to contemporary social problems. 2015-09-21T12:45:58Z Affective architecture in Ardnamurchan : assemblages at three scales http://hdl.handle.net/2381/33042 Title: Affective architecture in Ardnamurchan : assemblages at three scales Authors: Harris, Oliver J. T. Abstract: This article considers three temporal scales of architecture in Ardnamurchan, Western Scotland: a house built and destroyed in the 19th century; a Neolithic tomb constructed around 5500 years earlier; and the landscape itself. In each case I draw upon the interrelated concepts of affect and assemblage to examine the way in which they emerged and endured through the interactions of multiple human and non-human actors. These theoretical concepts, drawn from the work of Gilles Deleuze, allow for new understandings of these particular places to emerge.

Abstract: This thesis examines the results of an archaeological survey along a 50 km coastal strip of al-Jabal al-Akhdar (Green Mountain) in Cyrenaica (north-eastern Libya). The survey aimed to assess Cyrenaican ports during the Roman period, and secondary and minor harbours in particular. The conclusions demonstrate that a significant amount of productive and trading activity took place in this area in antiquity. This challenges previous assumptions that only major ports such as Apollonia, Ptolemais and Berenice were involved in trade. This study demonstrates the potential of secondary and small harbours to inform research about the economic role, mechanisms and hierarchy of harbours, in contrast to the prevalent trend among scholars to focus on the study of mega and major-ports. The new evidence has greatly increased our knowledge about productive activity along the coast of Cyrenaica, for example via the identification of 12 new amphora kilns. Initial estimates of the capacity of the vats recorded suggest that these harbours were involved in large-scale manufacturing. A further important strand of research involved an in-depth study of the physical features of the harbours and the construction techniques used in the buildings. An initial typology of these harbours was created to distinguish their roles and hierarchy, and provide a broader framework for their chronology. This analysis suggested that the secondary and minor harbours and other major ports were all well organised and interconnected. Each harbour seems to have played a particular role within the complex trade networks operating out of Cyrenaica. Finally, an investigation of the products imported to Cyrenaican harbours over time uses the ceramic evidence recorded during field survey or published sherds. This allows the discussion of some of the principal components of the import-export trade. A detailed gazetteer of the sites studied is presented in the appendices.

Abstract: Britain and Ireland have a maritime and temperate climate and, in a European context, very good data sets of palaeo-climate proxies, particularly from wetlands in the west and north of the islands. It is interesting, therefore, that there is no consensus as to whether the 4.2 ka BP climate event can be identified. The event has not featured in recent discussions of the archaeology in the centuries either side of 2200 BC. Instead much recent work on the Late Neolithic in Britain and Ireland (c. 3000–2400 BC) has concentrated on monuments and landscapes. In contrast, recent work in England and Scotland on the 23rd century BC to the 21st century BC has concentrated on Bell Beaker and Early Bronze Age burials and grave goods and has emphasised the innovations in burial rites and material culture. By 2200 BC Britain and Ireland were ready to become one of the first regions in Europe to make a full and rapid transition from copper to bronze metallurgy and enter the Early Bronze Age. In comparison, the evidence for settlements has attracted much less attention. This is partly because the evidence for settlements is often ephemeral. Only a few plans of houses are known and most settlements are represented by scatters of pits and a few postholes. Field systems are also rare. In the past, this evidence was interpreted as indicating a pastoralist lifestyle, but it may indicate that settlements were small, perhaps for single families, that houses were insubstantial, and that settlements were not occupied for many years. However, the extent to which a mixed farming economy (i.e. cultivating crops and keeping livestock) was practised is a matter of debate. Recent surveys of radiocarbon-dated cereals suggest that few cereals were grown. While the rarity of evidence for cereals is partly due to the small number of settlements known, it is clear that cereal cultivation declined significantly after the Early Neolithic. This evidence for settlements and farming is consistent with that from burials. Although burials provide clear evidence for social ranking, only a few well-furnished graves are known, which would suggest that social hierarchies did not survive for many generations. Even if the 4.2 ka BP climate event were to be recognised across Britain and Ireland, the archaeological evidence presently available suggests that neither the social structures nor settlement patterns at 2200 BC were so large, complex or permanent, that climate change would have forced decisive social change in Britain and Ireland.; Großbritannien und Irland haben ein maritimes, gemäßigtes Klima mit im europäischen Vergleich sehr guten paläoklimatischen Proxydatensätzen, vor allem aus Feuchtbodengebieten im Westen und Norden der Inseln. Interessanterweise besteht hingegen in der Forschung keine Einigkeit bezüglich der Frage, ob sich das 4.2 ka BP Klimaereignis tatsächlich nachweisen lässt. In neueren archäologischen Untersuchungen zu den Jahrhunderten vor und nach 2200 v. Chr. wird das Ereignis nicht angesprochen. Stattdessen haben sich viele neuere Forschungen zum Spätneolithikum in Großbritannien und Irland (ca. 3000–2400 v. Chr.) mehrheitlich auf Denkmäler und Landschaften konzentriert. Im Gegensatz dazu wurden in England und Schottland vor allem Bestattungen und Grabbeigaben der Glockenbecher- und Frühbronzezeitkultur aus dem 23. Jh. v. Chr. bis zum 21. Jh. v. Chr. untersucht und die Neuerungen in den Grabsitten und der materiellen Kultur herausgearbeitet. Um 2200 v. Chr. machten Großbritannien und Irland als eine der ersten Regionen in Europa eine vollumfängliche und schnelle Umstellung von der Kupfer- zur Bronzemetallurgie und vollzogen damit den Übergang zur Frühbronzezeit. Im Vergleich dazu schenkte die bisherige Forschung den Siedlungsnachweisen sehr viel weniger Aufmerksamkeit. Dies lag teilweise an der Vergänglichkeit der entsprechenden Spuren. Nur ein paar wenige Hausgrundrisse sind bisher bekannt geworden und die meisten Siedlungsreste bestehen aus zerstreuten Grubenbefunden und einigen Pfostenlöchern. Spuren von Feldsystemen sind ebenfalls selten. Während aufgrund dieser Befundlage bisher von einer Lebensweise mit pastoraler Tierhaltung ausgegangen wurde, könnte sie auch dahingehend interpretiert werden, dass die Siedlungen klein waren und möglicherweise nur von jeweils einer Familie bewohnt wurden; zudem waren die Häuser möglicherweise nur für eine kurz Zeitspanne errichtet und die Siedlungen womöglich nicht lange bewohnt. Inwieweit jedoch von einer gemischten Landwirtschaft (also einer Kombination aus Ackerbau und Viehhaltung) ausgegangen werden darf, wird derzeit noch diskutiert. Neuere Untersuchungen an 14C-datierten Getreideresten weisen darauf hin, dass der Getreideanbau eine eher untergeordnete Rolle spielte. Obwohl die geringe Anzahl an Getreidefunden teilweise auch durch die beschränkte Anzahl bekannter Siedlungen bedingt ist, lässt sich ein starker Rückgang des Getreideanbaus nach dem Frühneolithikum nachweisen. Die Siedlungs- und Landwirtschaftshinweise stimmen mit jenen der Grabfunde überein. Obwohl letztere klare Belege für soziale Hierarchien erbringen, wurden bisher nur wenige reich ausgestattete Gräber gefunden, was wohl darauf hinweist, dass diese sozialen Hierarchien nicht länger als ein paar wenige Generationen überdauerten. Selbst wenn das 4.2 ka BP Ereignis in Großbritannien und Irland erkennbar wäre, sprechen die bisher gefundenen Überreste dafür, dass weder die Sozialstruktur noch die Siedlungsmuster groß, komplex oder dauerhaft genug gewesen wären, als dass ein möglicher Klimawandel entscheidende soziale Veränderungen in Großbritannien und Irland mit sich gebracht hätte. 2015-09-01T10:04:11Z Domestic sites http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32972 Title: Domestic sites Authors: Allison, P. M. Editors: Besherer, K. Metheny; Beaudry , M Abstract: [FIrst paragraph] Some of the most significant locations for foodways in archaeological contexts are domestic sites. Indeed archaeologists throughout the world probably dig up more domestic sites than any other site types. They can be found within urban settlements but also in rural contexts, and at military sites such as Roman forts and fortresses (e.g. soldiers' barracks and commanding officers' residences). Within domestic sites everyday foodways – the food storage, food processing and food consumption activities of all members of the household – are often the most identifiable of all household activities, through structural, material-cultural and bioarchaeological evidence. In contrast, everyday foodways in domestic contexts in historic periods are probably the least well documented in the textual sources.

Metheny; Beaudry , M Abstract: [FIrst paragraph] One of the main concerns of household archaeology are the activities that took place within houses, particularly concerning food processing and food consumption. In the 1980s Richard C. Wilk and William C. Rathje argued that archaeological evidence for domestic sites provide the material evidence for households in the form of the dwelling, with its activity areas and the possessions. They also argued that households were the locations from which labour was pooled for production, including food production, and for the distribution of resources (e.g. food) from producers to consumers, within or outside the household. However, these arguments tend to present a household as a single unit rather than as systems of membership where a number of people – e.g. biological family, extended family, servants, slaves – might have lived together but have been involved in the preparation and consumption of food in different ways and possibly in different parts of the site.

Metheny; Beaudry, M. Abstract: [FIrst paragraph] Structural remains provide evidence for the location of various activities associated with food – food storage, food processing and food consumption. For many archaeological sites such remains consist of only the footings of the walls, or their imprint in the soil, indicating the ground plans of these buildings. Exceptions are sites which have experienced a catastrophic destruction, burying and preserving their buildings sometimes to roof level. Further exceptions are also those buildings which continue to be used, even to the present day, but which provide evidence for former uses.

Who ate where, and with whom, in early imperial military bases?' Authors: Allison, Penelope M.; Sterry, Martin Editors: Vagalinski, L. Abstract: Given the growing evidence that support personnel, soldiers' families and other 'camp followers' lived inside early imperial military bases is it any longer valid to consider that soldiers ate together in their contubernia? And where was food prepared and cooked in officers' households and by whom? Who frequented the taverns inside these military bases and why? Were meals prepared and eaten inside administrative buildings? This paper will discuss approaches to artefact distribution to develop better understandings of how, where and under what conditions food was prepared and consumed within spaces. At Limes XIX Maureen Carroll discussed 'The preparation and consumption of food as a contributing factor towards communal identity in the Roman army' (Z. Visy (ed.), Limes XIX, 363-372, 2005) and emphasised the importance of relationships surrounding food consumption. My paper at that congress included observations on the distribution of ceramics within and between some of the buildings at Vetera I (Limes XIX, 833-846) towards investigating where these activities were most likely to have been carried out. This paper will attempt to take further my approaches to artefact distribution for understanding the place and roles of non-service personnel and especially soldiers' families, inside Roman military bases, focussing on artefacts related to the preparation and consumption of food and drink. As a preliminary investigation it will examine how the types of material culture associated with food preparation and consumption, their associations and their distributions within a selection of military bases can be analysed towards answering these questions. 2015-08-20T11:00:34Z Early Iron Age coarse-ware pottery in context: new finds from the settlement of Xeropolis at Lefkandi http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32948 Title: Early Iron Age coarse-ware pottery in context: new finds from the settlement of Xeropolis at Lefkandi Authors: Whitbread, Ian K.; Livieratou, A.

The evidence comprises substantial sets of unpublished records and images from Italian and UK archives (Palermo, Patti, Rome and Glasgow). Specific themes of study are cultural heritage protection, historical and social contexts, excavation histories, sales of archaeological collections abroad, finds recognition and judicial activities. The study compares archaeological research during the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the post-Unification period in northern Sicily and aims to clarify relationships between the Ministry of Public Education, the Museum of Palermo and local government authorities; to pinpoint contacts with the contemporary social context; and to contextualise this work in terms of the evolution of archaeology and social change in the wider Italian and European contexts. A pivotal figure in the study is Antonino Salinas, director of the Palermo Museum across the period 1875-1914. Key results include: the identification of 'hidden' networks between politicians, national, regional and local authorities, who operated within protection of Sicilian antiquities, organised on a 'three-level' scale; insights into Antonino Salinas as a person and as director, and his role in the province of Messina; the reconstruction of the discovery and the exportation of finds from Lipari to Britain (1878); and the analysis of the unique documentation related to the Tindari excavations (1896), which reveal much about local characters involved in archaeology. This study thus contributes to a fuller understanding of the development of Sicilian archaeology before the First World War. 2015-08-13T11:17:51Z Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32940 Title: Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Authors: Dwyer, Emma Abstract: This thesis has used building recording techniques, documentary research and oral history testimonies to explore how concepts of the modern and new between the 1870s and 1930s shaped the urban built environment, through the study of a particular kind of infrastructure that was developed to meet the needs of expanding cities at this time – social (or municipal) housing – and how social housing was perceived and experienced as a new kind of built environment, by planners, architects, local government and residents. This thesis also addressed how the concepts and priorities of the Victorian and Edwardian periods, and the decisions made by those in authority regarding the form of social housing, continue to shape the urban built environment and impact on the lived experience of social housing today. In order to address this, two research questions were devised: • How can changing attitudes and responses to the nature of modern life between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries be seen in the built environment, specifically in the form and use of social housing? • Can contradictions between these earlier notions of the modern and new, and our own be seen in the responses of official authority and residents to the built environment? The research questions were applied to three case study areas, three housing estates constructed between 1910 and 1932 in Birmingham, London and Liverpool. During the course of answering these research questions, three further themes have arisen, which have broader relevance beyond this thesis: • How to interpret buildings that have a life extending beyond their original purpose. • The practice of contemporary archaeology as it relates to the built environment • How new kinds of environments are created and experienced, and how this can be investigated through material evidence. 2015-08-12T15:24:54Z Iron age and Roman-era vehicle terrets from western and central Britain: an interpretive study http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32900 Title: Iron age and Roman-era vehicle terrets from western and central Britain: an interpretive study Authors: Lewis, Anna Sian Grodecka Abstract: This thesis presents an interpretive study into the development, distribution, use and deposition of Iron Age and Roman-era terrets, or rein-guides, from western and central Britain. It is the first in-depth study of terrets as an artefact class and, unlike previous catalogues of Iron Age or "Celtic" metalwork, includes terrets of Continental or Roman stylistic origin as well as the "D-shaped" British series. The accompanying database records 596 terrets from within the study area. The "D-shaped" series first emerged around the third century BC, and appears to have taken a stylistic leap in the early first century AD, when terret design became increasingly varied and frequently involved the inclusion of colourful enamels. From the mid-first century AD, Continental-influenced forms became widespread in Britain. The D-shaped series continued to evolve, whilst adhering to basic conventions and constraints, until chariotry fell into decline around the end of the first century AD. The thesis re-assesses dating evidence for the development of the artefact class, and proposes a new typology organised into three main typo-chronological groups. The inter-relation of D-shaped and Continental varieties is investigated, the distribution across the study area of different forms compared, and depositional contexts reviewed. The social significances of D-shaped terrets in particular are also considered, as communicated both through their artistic development and through the behaviours evident in their deposition. Moving from the Late Iron Age into the Early Roman era, the thesis makes use of object theory and post-colonial theory to interpret the changing social roles of terrets in the context of Roman invasion and occupation.

Whenever human body parts are sold or put in a glass case and displayed for public view people should be provided with context and extensively informed about what they see. The gaze is never innocent, and to ignore the particular journeys that body parts take into auction rooms, anatomy departments, and museums is to be complicit in acts of historical injustice. In this case the skull was that of John Parker, who was executed by hanging in 1813. The likelihood that this was illicitly obtained by medical professionals means that the sale of the skull at auction two hundred years later is fraught with ethical problems. Along with a discussion of context, fragments like Parker's skull must therefore also become part of a debate about consent. Issues of context and consent can help us think about the display of human remains in museums in a manner that is intimate and 'disturbingly informative' (Mütter Museum 2014). However, the sale of Parker's skull – described as an 'antique piece' in the press coverage (BBC News 2014) – is a reminder that the global marketplace in objectified body parts is disturbing in quite a different manner. 2015-07-22T16:22:25Z William Fletcher Barrett and Psychical Research in Edwardian Dublin http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32789 Title: William Fletcher Barrett and Psychical Research in Edwardian Dublin Authors: McCorristine, Shane Abstract: Although primarily known today as a physicist and founder member of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), William Fletcher Barrett (1844-1925) was an important figure in social and scientific circles in late Victorian and Edwardian Ireland. From the 1870s onwards, when he became Professor of Experimental Physics at the Royal College of Science for Ireland, Barrett created an interest in psychical research among prominent members of the social and cultural elite in Dublin. This article reconstructs the history and membership of the little-known Dublin Section of the SPR (1908-c.1914), in which Barrett was the leading personality, and sketches out some conclusions which can be drawn from the make-up of this forgotten group. 2015-07-21T16:15:09Z The Iron Age open-air ritual site at Hallaton, Leicestershire: some wider implications http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32767 Title: The Iron Age open-air ritual site at Hallaton, Leicestershire: some wider implications Authors: Haselgrove, Colin; Score, Vicki Abstract: [From Introduction] I first met Vincent in October 1975 at a conference in Oxford on Iron Age oppida organised by Barry Cunliffe and Trevor Rowley. At the time, Vincent was Professor of Archaeology at Leicester, whilst I was a second year PhD student at Cambridge. On the Saturday evening, at a party given by Barry, I had an enjoyable and wideranging conversation with Vincent, of which I remember three aspects very well. The first, given our great difference in status, was just how friendly and informal Vincent was in an era when Professors were often distant figures. Second, I was struck and cowed by his encyclopaedic knowledge of the European Iron Age, with a scholarly command of its art and decorated metalwork (but by no means restricted to these), which I knew I could never match. Third, Vincent did little to conceal his scepticism for the theoretical ideas and approaches, which were then starting to gain ground in the discipline, and have retrospectively come to be known as processual archaeology 2015-07-21T08:47:26Z Dental Calculus Reveals Unique Insights into Food Items, Cooking and Plant Processing in Prehistoric Central Sudan http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32741 Title: Dental Calculus Reveals Unique Insights into Food Items, Cooking and Plant Processing in Prehistoric Central Sudan Authors: Buckley, S.; Radini, Anita; Usai, D.; Jakob, T.; Hardy, K. Abstract: Accessing information on plant consumption before the adoption of agriculture is challenging. However, there is growing evidence for use of locally available wild plants from an increasing number of pre-agrarian sites, suggesting broad ecological knowledge. The extraction of chemical compounds and microfossils from dental calculus removed from ancient teeth offers an entirely new perspective on dietary reconstruction, as it provides empirical results on material that is already in the mouth. Here we present a suite of results from the multi-period Central Sudanese site of Al Khiday. We demonstrate the ingestion in both pre-agricultural and agricultural periods of Cyperus rotundus tubers. This plant is a good source of carbohydrates and has many useful medicinal and aromatic qualities, though today it is considered to be the world's most costly weed. Its ability to inhibit Streptococcus mutans may have contributed to the unexpectedly low level of caries found in the agricultural population. Other evidence extracted from the dental calculus includes smoke inhalation, dry (roasting) and wet (heating in water) cooking, a second plant possibly from the Triticaceae tribe and plant fibres suggestive of raw material preparation through chewing. 2015-07-20T11:48:40Z Sago-type palms were an important plant food prior to rice in southern subtropical China. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32685 Title: Sago-type palms were an important plant food prior to rice in southern subtropical China. Authors: Yang, X.; Barton, Huw J.; Wan, Z.; Li, Q.; Ma, Z.; Li, M.; Zhang, D.; Wei, J. Abstract: Poor preservation of plant macroremains in the acid soils of southern subtropical China has hampered understanding of prehistoric diets in the region and of the spread of domesticated rice southwards from the Yangtze River region. According to records in ancient books and archaeological discoveries from historical sites, it is presumed that roots and tubers were the staple plant foods in this region before rice agriculture was widely practiced. But no direct evidences provided to test the hypothesis. Here we present evidence from starch and phytolith analyses of samples obtained during systematic excavations at the site of Xincun on the southern coast of China, demonstrating that during 3,350-2,470 aBC humans exploited sago palms, bananas, freshwater roots and tubers, fern roots, acorns, Job's-tears as well as wild rice. A dominance of starches and phytoliths from palms suggest that the sago-type palms were an important plant food prior to the rice in south subtropical China. We also believe that because of their reliance on a wide range of starch-rich plant foods, the transition towards labour intensive rice agriculture was a slow process. 2015-07-14T13:50:21Z The oldest alliance: a material exploration of early modern English-Portuguese relationships http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32531 Title: The oldest alliance: a material exploration of early modern English-Portuguese relationships Authors: Newstead, Sarah Rose Abstract: Social and economic ties between England and Portugal stretch back to the 12th century. Focusing on the 16th and 17th centuries, this thesis traces relationships between the two countries for a period which has received little scholarly attention from historians, adding material culture as a new source of evidence to describe historic Anglo-Luso interactions. Plymouth, UK, holds the largest collection of Portuguese ceramics recovered archaeologically in Britain. These provide a nuanced insight on the breadth of England's consumption of Portuguese goods during the 16th and 17th centuries. English acquisition of Portuguese products is a difficult activity to track in the available documents, as many of these objects flowed into English markets and households unrecorded. Routes and reasons for the trade of these ceramics to Plymouth are discussed with the aim of situating the port within the complex networks of the early modern Atlantic World. The general factors influencing the English acquisition of Portuguese ceramics are also explored. Building upon the ceramic case-study at Plymouth, a broader discussion is presented, engaging with Portugal's material and socioeconomic influence on early modern Atlantic networks with a particular focus on the period of Iberian Crown Union. Beyond the discussion of English-Portuguese interaction, this thesis also provides practical information for the future identification of Portuguese earthenwares recovered archaeologically in the UK. This information includes a form typology and production zone provenance criteria. Finally, the research presented here provides an excellent case-study for the integration of text and material evidence in the study of early modern transnational and transcultural interaction. 2015-07-09T10:25:08Z Hoarding and other forms of metalwork deposition in Iron Age Britain http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32501 Title: Hoarding and other forms of metalwork deposition in Iron Age Britain Authors: Haselgrove, Colin Editors: Naylor, J.; Bland, R.

Abstract: Radiocarbon dating was long neglected in Iron Age research, with dates on the 'Hallstatt plateau' (800–400 BC) considered too broad to be useful compared to artefact typo-chronologies. Such views are now untenable. Around fifty British Iron Age settlements and cemeteries have been dated using Bayesian methodologies, yielding two important general results: (1) typological dating produces sequences that are regularly too late; and (2) many phenomena, from chariot burials to settlement shifts, represent brief horizons, rather than being long lived. Drawing on a selection of studies, this article explores the impact of Bayesian modelling on British Iron Age studies. It highlights potential pitfalls and issues that must be considered when dating the period, illustrates some major successes and looks to the future. 2015-07-03T09:28:52Z Mapping invisibility: GIS approaches to the analysis of hiding and seclusion. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32465 Title: Mapping invisibility: GIS approaches to the analysis of hiding and seclusion. Authors: Gillings, Mark Abstract: Analyses of visibility have become a commonplace within landscape-based archaeological research, whether through rich description, simple mapping or formal modelling and statistical analysis, the latter increasingly carried out using the viewshed functionality of GIS. The research presented here challenges current obsessions with what is visible to focus instead upon the interpretative benefits of considering the invisible and the complex interplay of visibility and concealment that frequently accompany landscape movement and experience. Having highlighted the difficulties in analysing relational properties such as invisibility and hiding using traditional archaeological techniques, a series of new GIS methodologies are presented and evaluated in the context of an original study of a series of remarkably small, visually non-intrusive prehistoric megalithic monuments. The results serve to challenge dominant interpretations of these enigmatic sites as well as demonstrating the utility, value and potential of the GIS-based approaches developed. 2015-07-01T13:54:21Z At the water's edge: an integration of ethnographic and archaeological methods in the study of rock art in Northern Central British Columbia, Canada http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32448 Title: At the water's edge: an integration of ethnographic and archaeological methods in the study of rock art in Northern Central British Columbia, Canada Authors: Mitchell, Suzanne Abstract: Pictographs occur frequently in the landscapes of northern central British Columbia, but they have received modest academic attention. As a result, there is limited understanding of rock art as social practice and its significance within larger cultural landscapes. This research integrates First Nations traditional knowledge with archaeological data in order to investigate the waterscape context and iconography of pictographs across three First Nations traditional territories. The insights into the rock markings provided by First Nations elders offer important informed perspectives about the images and the landscape that, when combined with archaeological data and formal analytical processes, enable the study of the social understanding of rock art and its context within the expansive territories of this region. 2015-06-29T15:18:15Z Characterising Roman artifacts for investigating gendered practices in contexts that lack bodies http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32435 Title: Characterising Roman artifacts for investigating gendered practices in contexts that lack bodies Authors: Allison, Penelope M. Abstract: This article concerns the characterization of Roman artifacts so that they can play a greater role in gendered approaches to Roman sites—sites that constitute lived spaces but lack actual references to sexed bodies. It commences with a brief discussion on gendered approaches in the two main strands of Roman archaeology—classical and provincial. Within the differing frameworks of the wider disciplines of classics and archaeology, both strands focus on contexts with sexed bodies—burials, figurative representation, and inscriptions. The discussion serves as a background for more integrated and more interrogative approaches to relationships between Roman artifacts and gendered practices, approaches that aim to develop interpretative tools for investigating social practice in contexts where no representational or biologically sexed bodies are evident. Three types of artifacts—brooches, glass bottles, and needles—are used to demonstrate how differing degrees of gender associations of artifacts and artifact assemblages can provide insights into gender relationships in settlement contexts. These insights in turn contribute to better understandings of gendered sociospatial practices across the Roman world. 2015-06-29T11:46:08Z Betylmania? - small standing stones and the megaliths of south-west Britain http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32423 Title: Betylmania? - small standing stones and the megaliths of south-west Britain Authors: Gillings, Mark Editors: Purcell, N.; Cunliffe, B.; Hamerow, H.; Gosden, C. Abstract: This paper calls attention to a previously neglected element of the broad repertoire of monumental megalithic structures that characterise the later 3rd and 2nd millennia BC across the British Isles – extremely small standing stones. Despite their frequency and the complex arrangements and associations they embody, these miniliths are rarely recorded in detail and frequently marginalised to a generic background. As a result they are largely absent from interpretative accounts. Drawing upon recent debates regarding materiality and monument form, alongside the results of excavations explicitly targeting tiny stone settings, the discussion argues that the phenomenon of raising and fixing small uprights was not only widespread and persistent, but sheds important light upon the beliefs and ideas driving monument construction during the later Neolithic and Bronze Ages. 2015-06-24T11:25:24Z Electron microprobe analysis of 9th-12th century Islamic glass from Cordoba, Spain http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32305 Title: Electron microprobe analysis of 9th-12th century Islamic glass from Cordoba, Spain Authors: Duckworth, C. N.; Cordoba, R.; Faber, E. W.; Govantes-Edwards, D. J.; Henderson, J. Abstract: Twenty-six samples from domestic assemblages of 9th–12th century Córdoba were subjected to electron microprobe analysis. The results reveal two main compositional types. The first, encountered in 13 of the samples, seems to result from the combination of plant ashes with high-impurity sand, and has some contemporary parallels from Syria and Egypt. The second type is a lead–soda–silica glass, encountered in a relatively high proportion of the glasses (11 of the 26 sampled), possibly formed by the addition of lead metal to existing glasses and with very few known parallels. These are among a very small number of results available to date on the chemical composition of glasses from medieval Spain, and the presence of a high proportion of lead–soda–silica glasses is particularly interesting, possibly indicating a technological practice unique to, or originating in, the western Muslim world. 2015-05-26T11:20:57Z Authenticity, Artifice and the Druidical Temple of Avebury http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32288 Title: Authenticity, Artifice and the Druidical Temple of Avebury Authors: Gillings, Mark; Pollard, Joshua Editors: Kolen, J.; Hermans, R.; Renes, H. Abstract: This paper engages with the legacy of a prehistoric monument – the Avebury henge, in southern England – and the influential work of an early antiquarian – William Stukeley. We highlight how the reception of Stukeley's 1743 work, Abury: a temple of the British druids, has structured images of Avebury and shaped the authenticity claims of later scholars, artists and religious groups. In biographical terms, Stukeley's carefully crafted Abury has possessed a very active afterlife, its status shifting from that of primary record (of Avebury), to a form of constructionalblueprint (for Avebury), to a partial and flawed primary record (of an Avebury), only to end up for some as an unassailable and defijinitive record (of the Avebury). At the centre of this narrative is the status of Abury as a material agent around which various authenticity claims have been constructed. 2015-05-20T09:35:16Z Age, Agency and Disability: Emperors in the First Century AD http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32262 Title: Age, Agency and Disability: Emperors in the First Century AD Authors: Harlow, Mary E. Abstract: [From first paragraph] The emperors of the first century AD appear in our sources as far from perfect, but some of them seem to have been less than perfect rulers, not due any physical disability, but due to the simple fact that they may have been too old or too young to have performed the role effectively. This observation allows us to consider how age may have been seen to prevent the effective agency of a Roman emperor. This study of age and agency is played out with reference to the emperor Claudius, whose disability affected how he was treated by other members of the imperial family. We will argue that age caused emperors to become unable to act, and if too old to be at risk of being deposed. This is a quite different conception of disability than those previously published in the study of antiquity. 2015-05-12T15:29:48Z Roman fortified farms (qsur) and military sites in the region of the Wadi Al-Kuf, Cyrenaica (Eastern Libya) http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32210 Title: Roman fortified farms (qsur) and military sites in the region of the Wadi Al-Kuf, Cyrenaica (Eastern Libya) Authors: Emrage, Ahmad S. M. Abstract: Fortified buildings (in Arabic known as qsur, singular qasr) that stand isolated or formed part of wider settlements are a common phenomenon that existed in many regions of Roman Africa, especially in the late Roman and late antique periods. Different interpretations of the defensive appearance of the qsur in Africa (and parallels in different parts of the Roman Empire) have been advanced. In terms of Cyrenaica, this remarkable class of sites, though the most obvious archaeological monuments of the countryside, has not received a great deal of attention in the past. Therefore, the main aim of this thesis was to make a systematic study of the typology, chronology and function of these fortified structures, drawing on archaeological and literary sources and my own fieldwork. I carried out a combination of extensive and intensive archaeological, topographical and landscape survey in the region of Wadi al-Kuf in Cyrenaica. In three different topographical blocks covering a total area of about 1,350 km2, a total of 55 sites was documented (42 sites were recorded for the first time by my survey). An attempt is made to distinguish between potential military and civilian sites on the basis of locational and architectural factors. A broad framework is provided by interpreting the limited dating evidence and supported by comparison with similar sites from other regions of the Roman Empire, particularly in Tripolitania. This research has made original contributions to determining the architecture, typology and chronology of qsur in the survey region and overall it has increased our knowledge of rural settlement in the Wadi al-Kuf region.

Abstract: This book presents aspects of research on the archaeological investigations at the multi-period site of Priniatikos Pyrgos and surrounding area. Incorporating the Vrokastro Survey Project, the Istron Geoarchaeological Project, the Priniatikos Pyrgos Excavation Project and other researches, this volume presents interdisciplinary case-studies that deal with domestic, technological and mortuary practices at the site and how these relate to settlement and resource exploitation in the surrounding landscape. This is set within its environmental context at the local and regional levels, assessing both long term processes and shorter term events. The visual representation of materials and settlement complexity are approached using a combination of established and novel digital methods. 2015-05-07T10:58:35Z Miniaturization http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32113 Title: Miniaturization Authors: Foxhall, Lin Editors: Foxhall, Lin; Barfoed, S.

B.; van Dommelen, P. Abstract: This chapter investigates how the socio-political meanings and the practical significance of land were entwined in Bronze and Iron Age Greece to shape landscapes and territories by approaching settlement hierarchies from a new perspective. In virtually all 'Mediterranean' societies, in all periods, it is households, in dialectic relationships with community, state and other agents, that inhabit, cultivate, exploit and, ultimately, shape a major portion of both rural and 'urban' landscapes. The aggregate of household decisions, therefore, plays a key role in the formation of the archaeological landscape record for any specific society or period. Local concepts of household, property and succession varied, along with the socio-political conventions that regulated access to land and labour: households were set in quite different kinds of political systems over the course of the Bronze and Iron Ages. It was the enactment of these local habits in their spatial and political settings that built territories. 'Territory', however, was not the monolithic imposition of omnipotent state power penetrating all sectors of a landscape, even in the relatively centralized states of the Aegean Bronze Age.

Abstract: From Introduction: The site of Killeaba, a natural glacial mound utilised as a burial site from the Middle Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age in the North of the Isle of Man, was excavated from 1968 to 1969 by A.M. Cubbon (Cubbon 1978). In this paper, new radiocarbon dates for the site − which were gained from the analysis of cremated human bone (see Lanting and Brindley 1998: 1-8) – are presented and discussed. A re-phasing for the site is proposed based on these new radiocarbon dates, a re-analysis of the pre-existing radiocarbon dates (gained from charcoal and wood samples taken at the time of the original excavation), and the stratigraphy of the site. The activity at Killeaba is broken down into four phases. In this paper, changing burial practices at the site are traced from the Middle Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age. 2015-05-01T10:31:31Z Enduring relations: exploring a paradox of new materialism http://hdl.handle.net/2381/31956 Title: Enduring relations: exploring a paradox of new materialism Authors: Fowler, C.; Harris, Oliver J. T. Abstract: In this paper we examine tensions between understandings of material things as either bundles of relations or as things-in-themselves. Rather than take either of these positions, we instead set out an argument for approaches that allow us to modulate between these understandings whilst treating both as relational. Taking such a position allows us to understand how things endure through time without returning to any notion of essence. We explore the theoretical arguments through an analysis of one particular enduring material phenomenon: the Neolithic chambered tomb of West Kennet. 2015-04-08T09:25:14Z The Astronomical Orientation of Ancient Greek Temples http://hdl.handle.net/2381/31954 Title: The Astronomical Orientation of Ancient Greek Temples Authors: Salt, Alun M. Editors: Scalas, E. Abstract: Despite its appearing to be a simple question to answer, there has been no consensus as to whether or not the alignments of ancient Greek temples reflect astronomical intentions. Here I present the results of a survey of archaic and classical Greek temples in Sicily and compare them with temples in Greece. Using a binomial test I show strong evidence that there is a preference for solar orientations. I then speculate that differences in alignment patterns between Sicily and Greece reflect differing pressures in the expression of ethnic identity. 2015-03-31T14:28:46Z The origins and development of Zuwīla, Libyan Sahara: an archaeological and historical overview of an ancient oasis town and caravan centre http://hdl.handle.net/2381/31894 Title: The origins and development of Zuwīla, Libyan Sahara: an archaeological and historical overview of an ancient oasis town and caravan centre Authors: Mattingly, Martin J.; Sterry, Martin J.; Edwards, David N. Abstract: Zuwīla, south-west Libya (Fazzān), was one of the most important early Islamic centres in the central Sahara, but the archaeological correlates of the written sources have been little explored. This paper brings together for the first time a detailed consideration of the historical and archaeological data, together with new AMS radiocarbon dates from several key monuments. The origins of the settlement at Zuwīla were pre-Islamic, but the town gained greater prominence in the early centuries of Arab rule of the Maghrib, culminating with the establishment of an Ibāḍī state ruled by the dynasty of the Banū Khaṭṭāb, with Zuwīla its capital. The historical sources and the accounts of early European travellers are discussed, and archaeological work at Zuwīla described (including the new radiocarbon dates). A short gazetteer of archaeological monuments is provided as an appendix. Comparisons and contrasts are also drawn between Zuwīla and other oases of the ash-Sharqiyāt region of Fazzān. The final section of the article presents a series of models based on the available evidence, tracing the evolution and decline of this remarkable site.; Zuwīla, un site du sud-ouest Libyen (Fazzān), était l'un des centres islamiques les plus importants du Sahara central, mais les données archéologiques correspondant aux sources écrites ne sont que peu étudiées. Cet article rassemble pour la première fois une étude détaillée des données historiques et archéologiques ainsi que de nouvelles datations radiocarbones AMS de certains monuments clés. Les origines de l'occupation de Zuwīla remontent à la période pré-islamique, mais la ville gagna en importance dans les siècles suivant la conquête arabe du Maghreb, aboutissant avec l'établissement d'un État ibadite gouverné par la dynastie des Banū Khaṭṭāb, dont Zuwīla était la capitale. Cet article examine les sources historiques et les récits des premiers voyageurs européens de l'époque moderne et décrit le travail archéologique à Zuwīla (y compris les nouvelles datations radiocarbones). Un court index géographique des monuments archéologiques est donné en annexe. Un certain nombre de parallèles et contrastes qui peuvent être observés entre Zuwīla et d'autres oasis de la région de l'ash-Sharqiyāt au Fazzān y sont aussi présentés. Dans une dernière partie sont proposés une série de modèles, fondés sur les données disponibles, qui décrivent l'évolution et le déclin de ce site remarquable. 2015-03-18T16:56:48Z From the Mediterranean to the Libyan Sahara.

Abstract: This paper presents preliminary results from an on-going study of Late Bronze Age to early Iron Age pottery fabrics from recent excavations at the Xeropolis settlement site at Lefkandi. It illustrates that character and range of fabrics as seen in hand specimen and compares these with fabrics of EH III - MH II pottery from Xeropolis, with the regional geology of Lefkandi and descriptions of clay from Vasiliko that was used widely in the region by potters and brick and tile makers.

Abstract: This paper examines application of the provenance hypothesis in areas of complex regional geology, where all potential sources of raw materials cannot be isolated or taken into account. With a few notable exceptions most pottery of the Late and Final Neolithic in Central and Southern Mainland Greece is considered to be locally produced by non-specialist household potters. Nevertheless small quantities of pottery with fresh volcanic fabrics have been found in largely non-volcanic areas and interpreted as imports. This interpretation has been questioned and alternative local sources proposed either in isolated palaeovolcanic units amongst otherwise non- volcanic rocks or through reuse of imported artefacts such as millstones made from fresh volcanic rock. In this study we examine evidence for pottery exchange at the Cave of Euripides, located opposite the island of Aegina, a potential source of imported volcanic materials in the region. The analysis uses petrography to identify raw materials, production technologies and provenance of the pottery. Results show that most pottery at the cave was produced locally. It is argued that grog and sparry calcite tempered fabrics are indicative of shared technological knowledge amongst potters in different communities. Pottery imports are identified based on their fresh volcanic inclusions. They are consistent with pottery fabrics from Aegina and distinguished from the local palaeovolcanic rocks that occur in close proximity to the cave. 2015-02-23T11:17:17Z Gebel Adda Cemeteries 3 and 4 (1963-1964) http://hdl.handle.net/2381/31672 Title: Gebel Adda Cemeteries 3 and 4 (1963-1964) Authors: Huber, R; Edwards, David N. Abstract: The excavation team of the American Research Center in Egypt, under the direction of Dr Nicholas B. Millet, first arrived at Gebel Adda in January 1963, for what were to be four excavation seasons. Excavations started in Cemetery 1, which included numerous tumuli, extending over c. 450m from the southern end of the concession to north east of the Citadel (Millet 1963). Work began in the south of the cemetery and excavated c. 127 tumuli, dated to the later post-Meroitic (X-Group) period. In the same area, amongst the tumuli, c. 30 medieval (Christian) graves were also found, thought likely to date to the earliest period of Christianization at Gebel Adda. Four examples of the double domed mud-brick tombs of the post-medieval (Islamic) period were also excavated in Cemetery One. In March 1963 excavations were also begun in Cemetery 3, lying some 160m south east of the Citadel hill (Figure 1, Plate 1), an area covered with much wind-blown sand, exposing c. 400 tombs during the first season (Millet 1963, 154). This work was continued in the second (1963-1964) season (Millet 1964) and the third season, for which no preliminary report was published (see also Millet 1967b; 1968; 2005; Grzymski 2010). Some preliminary observations of this area were published as the excavations were still underway by Millet (Millet 1963; 1964), but little else relating to this important work has yet been published. However, the first author (RH), as a member of the ARCE team, can throw some further light on some features of the excavations. Most importantly, having carried out much of the original preparation of site plans, it has been possible to reconstruct here some partial plans of Cemetery 3, which together with personal photographs of the site provide some useful new information concerning this part of the Gebel Adda excavations. Until the surviving site archives are more fully studied, and hopefully published, this brief report, as with previous reports (Huber and Edwards 2009; 2010), can provide a few further insights into the fascinating and clearly complex history of the Gebel Adda cemeteries. 2015-02-16T12:54:27Z Book review : The Stone of Life: Querns, Mills and Flour Production in Europe Up to c.

Editors: Dijkstra, JHF; Fisher, G Abstract: [From 1st paragraph] This paper will explore the interweaving of socio-political and religious transformations on the southern frontier of Roman Egypt during the third-sixth centuries. In this period northern Nubia represents an interesting space, outside the Roman Empire while also forming the northern frontier of the (fading) Meroitic Empire, centred far to the south in Sudanic Africa. As a meeting place of imperial powers certain parallels may be drawn with the northern Arabian regions, although these 'barbarian' encounters were played out in a region with its own distinctive dynamic, not least in the peculiar geographical circumstances of the Egyptian/Nubian riverine oasis, and its desert hinterland. My own particular concerns lie less with the Roman presence, but rather in how the region was transformed from a Meroitic province to an independent (Christian) 'Nubian' kingdom. 2015-02-04T12:21:31Z Aineias Taktikos in his intellectual context http://hdl.handle.net/2381/31579 Title: Aineias Taktikos in his intellectual context Authors: Shipley, Donald G. J. Editors: Pretzler, M. Abstract: [From 1st paragraph] Much effort has been expended in the attempt to identify the author of the late classical treatise known as Poliorketika, generally by deduction from the meagre evidence in the text itself. As far as this goes, the likeliest candidate remains the younger Aineias of Stymphalos, militarily active in the 360s.3 This, however, remains unconfirmed, as the range of views in this volume shows. Accordingly, I sometimes refer to our author as 'Aineias' (in inverted commas). Whoever the author was, the work seems likely to belong to the mid- or late 350s.4 Aside from questions of name and date, what persona does 'Aineias' convey through his text? What identity, or identities, does he intentionally assert or unintentionally reveal? In the light of this, what can we further ascertain about the cultural and intellectual context within which the work was composed, and about the author's aims? To what extent, indeed, were those aims military, scientific, political—or even rhetorical and literary? As we shall see, recent advances in the understanding of the polis, 5 of Arkadian politics and identities,6 and of the nature of oligarchy7 allow us to fine-tune our appreciation of his self-presentation. 2015-02-04T11:43:32Z

DULUTH — Duluth went from famine to feast during its Class AAAAA state baseball first-round doubleheader with Wheeler.After being shut out on one hit by Sam Bragg in the first game, the Wildcats erupted for 15 hits, five of which left the park for home runs in the nightcap. Two of those bombs highlighted a 10-run outburst in the top of the seventh to break open a tie game as Duluth recovered from a frustrating 3-0 loss in the opener to earn the split with a 17-8 win Friday at Franklin Field. "I've never seen going from a one-hitter to (15) hits and 17 runs," Duluth coach Matt Champitto said after the Wildcats (18-10) forced a third and deciding game this afternoon at 2 p.m. "I've never seen anything like that." The Game 2 hit parade actually started when Eric Sutor led off the fourth inning with a solo homer to tied the game at 4-4. After a 13-minute delay by the umpires to allow the sun to set below the batter's eye, the Wildcats continued with some two-out thunder as Chris Rich's double was followed by back-to-back homers from Alex Raffensperger and John Clark, giving Duluth a 7-4 lead. But the real explosion came in the top of the seventh after Wheeler (17-11) tied the game with three runs in the bottom of the fifth. Rich followed Tommy Matton's leadoff walk with his second double of the game and Raffensperger was intentionally walked to load the bases with nobody out. Clark then sent a liner past a drawn-in infield into left for a single that put the Wildcats in front 8-7, but it was only the beginning. Edward Willemse drove in two more with a single to make the score 10-7, and Evan Dumas delivered some much-needed insurance by blasting a two-out grand slam to open up the lead to 14-7. Rich later added a two-run homer later in the inning and Clark drove in another with a double and when the smoke had cleared, Duluth had a 17-7 lead. It also made a winner of Rich (4-2), who came on to strike out the side in the sixth inning, and will start today's Game 3 after throwing fewer than 15 pitches Friday. Rich also went 4-for-5 in Game 2, while Clark was 3-for-5 with two RBIs. "I know if you make bad pitches, you get hurt," Wheeler coach Jeff Milton said. "But I don't know that I've never seen so many balls (leave the park), especially in that last inning. "I'll be tough (today), but we've got to have a short memory." The opener was much more frustrating for the Wildcats even though John Clark (5-4) threw a solid game, scattering six hits and two earned runs with five strikeouts over six innings. Wheeler jumped in front 1-0 when Alan Peters took advantage of Franklin Field's diminutive confines with a pop-fly home run to left with two outs in the top of the first. Two innings later, Peters fisted a single to right as Wheeler took advantage of two Duluth errors to extend its lead to 2-0. Peters was again involved when the Wildcats scored again in the sixth, looping a triple into the right field corner before coming home on Kyle Allen's double to make the score 3-0. He finished the doubleheader 6-for-6 with the homer, triple a double and four RBIs. Meanwhile, Bragg (9-3) managed to keep Duluth hitless through the first six innings, but the Wildcats still had chances to score by drawing seven walks from the Wheeler right-hander. Their best chance to get to the Wheeler starter came in the sixth, when Rich and Raffensperger drew walks, and a fielder's choice ground left runners on first and second with one out. Jacob Timmie then sent a liner towards right center that seemed destined to be Duluth's first hit, but Peters thwarted the Wildcats again, leaping into the fence to make the catch and then throwing back to second to double up Raffensperger to end the inning. "If that ball falls, you're looking at them scoring three," Milton said. Duluth had one more chance in the seventh as Noah Hoback finally got the team's first hit by doubling into the right-field corner and ending the day for Bragg. One out later, Sutor and Dumas drew walks to load the bases, but Wheeler reliever Keaton Tobin struck out David Matton and got Rich to pop to short to lock down the save and the Game 1 win from the visiting Wildcats.
