abstract:Archival material can shape the future of archaeological research and cultural heritage preservation, but it must be made accessible to the academic community and general public. This is especially true for conflict zones, as archives of various kinds are often all that remains as a record of sites and monuments. Palmyra, Syria, is important for understanding the ancient world and modern global cultural heritage; however, it has been destroyed by conflict, thus making archival material crucial to the site's future. By fully publishing the archive of Palmyrene sculpture compiled by the Danish archaeologist Harald Ingholt, researchers, adhering to the FAIR principles, set an example of best practice that includes holistic publication of archaeological projects both in print and digitally to make the data accessible to a wide audience. In this article, Palmyra's Tomb of Maqqai serves as a case study to demonstrate some of the potentials of open-data publication.

abstract:Excavations conducted in the first half of the twentieth century at Samaria-Sebaste uncovered an Augusteum, surrounded by additional Roman-period structures. A compelling hypothesis is that these buildings served as a royal compound belonging to Herod himself, although until now archaeological remains connecting the structures specifically to Herod have been lacking. Here I will examine the function and historical significance of eight stepped pools discovered throughout this compound. I will argue that these pools should be regarded as Jewish ritual immersion pools that date to the time of Herod the Great or his successors. This suggestion will lead us to explore the obvious question: How could Jewish ritual baths have coexisted in such close quarters with a pagan temple? I will suggest that this ostensibly surprising juxtaposition of ritual structures has much to teach us about the pervasiveness and tenacity of Jewish adherence to Torah Law at this time.

abstract:The following article approaches a historic monument on the island of Cyprus, the sixteenth-century Panagia tou Potamou church, with an interdisciplinary methodology. An in-depth study of its history, architecture, and paintings leads to a new evaluation of the church’s value for Cypriot and Mediterranean research. The church has proven to be a space for burial and private memory of a sixteenth-century semirural community, reflected in the staging of a prominent burial and the iconographic topics underlining ideas of intercession and salvation. Ultimately, this enables an enhanced appreciation of “minor monuments” in general. The other angle of approach concerns heritage questions: in precarious state for most of the twentieth century, particularly the wall paintings are in urgent need of restoration. In 2015– 2017, an emergency intervention secured the most fragile parts and evaluated the state of the church, proposing future ways to ensure the survival of this monument.
以下文章采用跨学科的方法来研究塞浦路斯岛上的一座历史遗迹——16世纪的Panagia tou Potamou教堂。对其历史,建筑和绘画的深入研究导致了教堂对塞浦路斯和地中海研究价值的新评估。教堂已被证明是16世纪半农村社区的埋葬和私人记忆空间,这反映在一个突出的葬礼的舞台和强调代祷和救赎思想的肖像主题上。最终,这使得人们对“小纪念碑”的欣赏程度得到了提高。另一个角度涉及遗产问题:在20世纪的大部分时间里,处于岌岌可危的状态,特别是壁画急需修复。2015年至2017年,紧急干预保护了最脆弱的部分,并评估了教堂的状况,提出了未来确保这座纪念碑生存的方法。

abstract:The unique “Cave of the Warrior” burial, found in a Judean Desert cave and dated to the end of the Chalcolithic period, was accompanied by a large number of grave goods made of perishable materials. It opens up an unusual opportunity to recover aspects of the life of an individual person. Based on a reexamination of his personal belongings, we created a microhistory of this individual. We show how a careful analysis of a single-event site contributes to the interpretation and definition of the archaeological record and periodization. The individual most probably originated in the Judean or Samarian Highlands from a settlement whose inhabitants practiced a mixed Mediterranean economy. The individual himself practiced pastoralism and traveled between the highlands and the desert. The remote location and unique burial may be seen as reflective of stresses related to demographic and economic changes occurring at the end of the Chalcolithic period.

abstract:At the eve of the twentieth century, Cyprus’s British administration perceived the island’s medieval structures from a utilitarian point of view; their premises were put to new uses, their stones were removed and reused in new constructions. A mere six years later, selected medieval structures were declared monuments under the then-enacted 1905 Antiquities Law. This article investigates this radical shift and seeks to establish the seminal role of an anonymous letter sent to the Times in December 1899 . It argues that these 300 words against the alleged demolition of Famagusta’s medieval walls by the British Colonial Office initiated the first steps toward the preservation of medieval structures not only within the town but across the island. Ultimately it seeks to establish that the actions of this six-year period, a response to the letter’s allegations, marked the beginning of a process that shaped Cyprus’s medieval monuments as we appreciate them today.

abstract:During the more than 700 years from ca. 1350 BCE on when Assyria’s kings ruled at the behest of the god Ashur, the urban core of Assyria was located in the north of modern-day Iraq. During this long period the royal court only moved to a new city a few times. Newness, however, is a complicated and seemingly problematic concept in Assyria, where it was generally believed that the main cities had been provided with their rightful and inalterable place when the gods created civilization. Dur-Sharruken, the city founded during the reign of King Sargon II (722–705 BCE), is often highlighted as the exceptional and even problematic new foundation in modern scholarship. This article reassesses the arguments made in both modern scholarship and in the royal inscriptions of Assyria about the creation of new capitals and the place of Dur-Sharruken within the history of Assyrian urban foundations.

abstract:Elite and imperial architecture is usually associated with public buildings, as these structures are the more accurately designed reflection of empires’ intentions to forge identities and craft narratives through the creation and use of public spaces. In the Middle East, the urban built environment of the Iron Age is characterized by a lack of stereotypical public spaces, creating a challenge for historians and archaeologists who study architecture to determine the sociocultural impact of public buildings on communities. Thus, materiality and morphology become two important architectural features to assess architectural ontology and to understand the complex community relationship with architecture. This contribution focuses on investigating public space in the Syro-Anatolian urban centers as a concrete example of community engagement with public architecture to forge and maintain identities.

abstract:The majority of archaeological studies on late antique monumental synagogues focus their discussion on the origin and production of these buildings, their decoration, and their use. How these buildings were used, experienced, and remembered in subsequent periods remains little explored. Following a building-biography approach, this article aims to explore how the building remains of synagogues in Galilee persisted into the early Islamic period and beyond, and what the physical state of these monuments and the small finds found within them tell us about how later communities used, viewed, and remembered these spaces. The article explores the remains of several synagogue sites in eastern Galilee using archaeological data, medieval Muslim and Jewish traveler accounts, and early modern depictions of ruins.

abstract:Salvage excavations on a slope near Jerusalem revealed parts of five buildings and many artifacts belonging to the Arab village of Qālūnyā, situated on the slope until its demise in 1948 and subsequent demolishing. The synchronization and synthesis of the archaeological finds with historical sources, such as landholding surveys, census registrations, maps, military reports, photographs, travelers' accounts, and memoirs written by local inhabitants and their descendants, together with the implementation of georeferencing tools, provide an opportunity to reconstruct a spatial outline of the village and to attribute sociopolitical and personal aspects to the inhabitants of the buildings that were found during the excavation.
