ABSTRACT The miniaturization of architecture in past and modern societies is a cross-cultural phenomenon, which has received enormous attention in scholarship, particularly in works relating to the Bronze and Iron Age eastern Mediterranean. This article focuses on some small-scale terracotta buildings known from Phoenicia around the seventh to the sixth centuries BCE, argues for their identification as portable shrines, compares them to similar examples from Cyprus, and includes finds from Carthage, Malta, and Ibiza in the discussion. All of this evidence reflects a time when small chapels were increasingly adopted in Phoenician architecture, reproduced at different scales in multiple media, and used in a variety of contexts. Finally, Tyre al-Bass Tomb 8 and other funerary assemblages yielding portable shrines support the idea that they were the focus of ritual activities at burial sites, and their deposition may have followed their use in practices involving storytelling, the libation of scented liquids, and/or the burning of aromatic substances.

abstract:In 2019, an excavation carried out at the site of Er-Rasm, located ca. 2 km southeast of Tel Ashkelon, revealed evidence of a cemetery of the second to mid-fourth century CE in an area that was built over by a monastic community in the fifth century CE. The finds from the cemetery, a lead coffin decorated with vine scrolls and birds in repeating panels and associated artifacts such as gold threads, are comparable to those unearthed in the same general area in 1926 at Khirbet Khasis, as well as to other lead coffins found in Jerusalem and Ashdod-Yam. In addition, parts of a marble sarcophagus with carved features were discovered at Er-Rasm. These features indicate that the sarcophagus was carved with the scene of the abduction of Persephone, just like the complete example uncovered elsewhere in Ashkelon in 1972.

Welcome to our first issue of 2023. Our readers will find that the articles that follow are quite diverse in terms of the methods, theories, and regions they describe. They do, however, have one significant thing in common. As archaeologists have come to realize that excavation is not the only way to address archaeological questions, they are turning, much more, to less destructive means to find out about the past. Conducting surface surveys, examining museum collections, making better use of remote sensing data, reanalyzing previously excavated materials, and archival research are no longer seen as “auxiliary” methods to excavation but, rather, as stand-alone approaches to understanding earlier cultures.“Pathways to Know and Sidetracks to Forget,” is a discussion by Faidon Moudopoulos-Athanasiou about the interweaving of nineteenth-century travelers’ accounts and systematic modern surveys. Using the region of Zagori in northwestern Greece as a case study, the author describes how both historical and modern reflections on cultural landscapes that are informed by walking those very landscapes facilitate the formation of a detailed view of the peoples who inhabited them. Promoting the idea of an “inclusive landscape archaeology,” Moudopoulos-Athanasiou suggests that the study of historical walks combined with a modern archaeologist’s survey expertise can inform appropriate heritage management of a region, which will benefit tourists as much as residents.Mustafa Nuri Tatbul and Deniz Burcu Erciyas, authors of “The Potential of Quantified Surface Data in Understanding the Rural Landscapes of Byzantine Komana,” describe their surveys at this site in Turkey and the late ninth- through twelfth-century churches and settlements they discovered. Scholars have reasoned that this was a time when building small churches became a trend, as rural settlements and monastic communities grew. The authors use a “mixed methods” approach to survey methodologies against the theory of rural revival at a regional level. Utilizing qualitative data from previous surveys for information and comparison, they revisited the identified sites to test whether the identifications of these churches could be verified by quantitative analyses.In a very interesting geographic departure from the countries that are the journal’s usual focus, this issue contains an article about Saudi Arabia. Undeniably, the cultures of Arabia and the Ancient Near East co-existed, communicated, and traded in the very distant past. Unfortunately, unlike the Near East, many sites in Saudi Arabia remain unstudied, so it has been difficult to establish its true place in the region’s history. Concentrating on “Monumental Stone Structure Archaeology” in the Al Ha’it oasis of northwest Saudi Arabia, authors Ahmed Nassr, Ahmed Elhassan, Ali Tueaiman, and Mohammed al-Hajj show how an intensive desktop archaeological survey using remote sensing, followed by traditional archaeological survey and excavations reveals
欢迎来到我们2023年的第一期。我们的读者会发现，接下来的文章在方法、理论和所描述的领域方面是相当多样化的。然而，它们确实有一个重要的共同点。随着考古学家逐渐认识到挖掘并不是解决考古问题的唯一方法，他们正在更多地转向破坏性较小的方法来了解过去。进行地面调查、检查博物馆藏品、更好地利用遥感数据、重新分析以前挖掘的材料和档案研究不再被视为挖掘的“辅助”方法，而是被视为理解早期文化的独立方法。《了解的路径和遗忘的侧边》是Faidon Moudopoulos-Athanasiou关于19世纪旅行者的叙述与系统的现代调查的交织的讨论。作者以希腊西北部的扎戈里(Zagori)地区为例，描述了通过行走这些景观，对文化景观的历史和现代反思是如何促进对居住在这些景观中的人们的详细看法的形成的。Moudopoulos-Athanasiou提倡“包容性景观考古学”的理念，他认为对历史步行的研究与现代考古学家的调查专业知识相结合，可以为一个地区的适当遗产管理提供信息，这将使游客和居民受益。Mustafa Nuri Tatbul和Deniz Burcu Erciyas是《量化地表数据在理解拜占庭科马纳乡村景观中的潜力》一书的作者，他们描述了他们在土耳其这个地点的调查，以及他们发现的9世纪末至12世纪的教堂和定居点。学者们认为，随着农村定居点和修道院社区的发展，当时建造小型教堂成为一种趋势。作者采用“混合方法”的调查方法，在区域层面上反对乡村复兴理论。他们利用先前调查的定性数据作为信息和比较，重新访问了已确定的地点，以测试这些教堂的身份是否可以通过定量分析来验证。从地理位置上看，这期杂志不同于通常关注的国家，这一期包含了一篇关于沙特阿拉伯的文章。不可否认，在遥远的过去，阿拉伯和古代近东的文化共存、交流和贸易。不幸的是，与近东不同，沙特阿拉伯的许多遗址仍未被研究，因此很难确定其在该地区历史中的真实地位。作者Ahmed Nassr, Ahmed Elhassan, Ali Tueaiman和Mohammed Al - hajj专注于沙特阿拉伯西北部Al Ha 'it绿洲的“纪念性石头结构考古学”，展示了如何使用遥感进行密集的桌面考古调查，然后是传统的考古调查和挖掘，揭示了该地区的考古丰富性。作者描述了在观察到的遗迹中，如何在al Ha 'it绿洲中发现以前未被发现的结构。Tali Erickson-Gini和Alegre Savariego讨论了从位于Tel Ashkelon东南约2公里处的Er-Rasm遗址出土的材料，这些材料揭示了公元2世纪至4世纪中期墓地的存在。在《罗马亚实基伦的丧葬文物和洛克菲勒博物馆藏品》中，他们解释了20世纪早期的石棺发现如何阐明了罗马亚实基伦中晚期的历史，记录了这座城市当时的巨大财富。Nicholas Stanley-Price探讨了“殖民塞浦路斯的阴谋和不和”，他讨论了1936年Talbot Rice教授向英国政府提交的关于塞浦路斯古物部状况的重要报告。发件人争辩说，当时塞浦路斯的殖民统治结构使塞浦路斯总督理查德·帕尔默爵士能够就他显然不甚了解的事项作出决定。古董的处置和保管绝对属于这一类。提交人进一步认为，Talbot Rice提出的问题表明了与殖民统治有关的许多问题，其中一些问题至今仍在发生，例如继续依赖对该国情况知之甚少的外部专家的报告。Stanley-Price在这篇文章中展示了档案研究如何能够照亮那些仍然遭受殖民主义所造成的制度之苦的国家的持续问题。塞缪尔·r·沃尔夫写了一篇简短的报告，作为对纳玛·亚哈洛姆·麦克2017年题为“从朗格·杜尔海姆的角度看坩埚、风口和风箱”的文章的回应(《东地中海考古与遗产研究杂志》，第7卷，第1期)，让我们注意到一个具有重大意义的小发现。

abstract:Increased archaeological fieldwork in Saudi Arabia is contributing toward a more precise general idea about ancient Arabia. Moreover, the history of Arabian archaeology demonstrates that major discoveries and advances have been achieved as a result of systematic field enterprises. However, several regions in Saudi Arabia remain unstudied. One such major area is Ha’il in the north. Our intensive desktop-archaeological survey using remote sensing revealed the region’s archaeological richness. Several monumental structures were observed in the al Ha’it oasis. Based on those findings, we conducted an archaeological survey and excavations, resulting in the discovery of eight new archaeological sites. Three major types of funerary stone structures identified in this area include pendants, tumuli, and tower tombs. In addition, we encountered mustatils and kites of the Neolithic and Bronze Age. This article presents the investigations carried out in these new sites and places them within the context of Arabian archaeology.

abstract:The Middle Byzantine period in Anatolia is considered a recovery period after two centuries of instability at the end of the Early Byzantine period. From the late ninth through the twelfth centuries, building small churches became a trend as rural settlements and monastic communities expanded across the countryside. During extensive surveys at Komana, near Tokat in Turkey, a number of churches were identified in rural contexts through scattered architectural fragments, especially brickwork typical of the Middle Byzantine period. These sites were later revisited for intensive collection in an attempt, firstly, to test whether identification of Middle Byzantine churches through qualitative data could be verified and, secondly, to improve our understanding of site types and their extent in the rural landscapes of Middle Byzantine Komana. In this article, the results of the intensive surveys will be discussed in the context of the new trends of the Middle Byzantine period.
