for university level students and teachers. It is expressly not intended to replace, but to supplement and set alongside, existing atlases such as Hugh Kennedy’s Historical Atlas of Islam and the Atlas of Islamic History by Peter Sluglett and Andrew Currie. In sum, this attractive and accessible atlas is a welcome addition to those already available, and its range of topics with guides for further reading will make it a valuable resource both for casual browsing and serious study.

Andalusian glassmaking tradition. The chapter is without doubt the most interesting and fascinating section of the whole book, for it provides a fruitful diachronic analysis of the technological developments and changes in supply patterns of the Iberian Peninsula from the late Roman period to the eleventh–twelfth century. The discussion encompasses data on various glass assemblages including the material from the ninth-century workshop in Pechina, from several sites in Córdoba dated between the eighth and tenth centuries, as well as a brief comparison with some later finds from Ciudad de Vascos and Albalat (tenth–twelfth century). The most interesting and illuminating conclusion is the evidence for the development of a new Andalusian glassmaking technology based on the use of local lead slag from silver or lead mines, as the analysis of eighthor ninth-century glass from Šaqunda surprisingly demonstrates. This technology seems to have paved the way for an even more advanced Andalusian glass production which exploited litharge instead of lead slag, as exemplified by the comprehensive tenth-century assemblage from Madinat al-Zahra, and resulting in a clearer and probably more easily workable soda ash lead glass. Schibille uses not only the analytical evidence but cites the written record which claims the invention of a “new glass” in al-Andalus in the tenth century. Compositional discriminants for later Iberian plant ash glass are also suggested, particularly elevated lithium concentrations, combined with high thorium to zirconium ratios. While the nature of this research still feels preliminary at points and certainly in need of additional analytical data which will target some of the specific insights suggested by the author, this is without doubt a very comprehensive and useful study of glass production and supply during the early Islamic period. Its scope will mainly assist scholars interested in the compositional study of Islamic glass, but it will prove helpful for scholars in the broader fields of archaeology and history, as it seeks out fruitful links between different sub-disciplines. In this respect, the link with the archaeology – and not just the history – of the different regions investigated is sometimes lost or discussed only superficially, and a closer connection between compositional and archaeological studies may have provided even more informative insights into the subject. Nevertheless, this book offers a very useful starting point for anyone wishing to study Islamic glass and willing to explore the geopolitical trends that impacted its production and trade.

Abstract With a view to the necessities as well as the possible problems of a document-based administration, this paper approaches the area of conflict between standardization and flexibility in the production of administrative documents in ancient China. Recently published sources from the imperial Qin period (221–207 bce) have provided the opportunity to compare administrative documents excavated at Liye with standards regulating their production. With the help of two case studies, the paper explores to what extent official document standards were implemented in everyday practice or purposefully neglected in ancient Qianling county. It also discusses which standards were followed more closely than others, and what might be the reasons behind this. Shedding light on the large grey zone between faithful adherence and complete neglect, the paper suggests that officials chose a pragmatic way influenced by both economic considerations informed by the local circumstances and the requirements imposed by the central government.

tribe’s frequent migration. Uta Reinöhl (ch. 9) discusses the classification of three Mishmi languages. In addition to an etymological investigation of tribe and language names of the Mishmi languages, the author contributes to establishing a phylogenetic tree of Proto-Kera’a-Tawrã, with Kera’a and Tawrã being its bifurcating branches. The Kera’a languages consist of Mithu and Midu, where Midu is undergoing an unusual innovation of consonant aphaeresis in polysyllabic words. Tawrã, on the other hand, is the most conservative for preserving phonetic features lost in Kera’a. Scott DeLancey’s paper (ch. 10) identifies an innovation that differentiates South Central and Naga Belt languages from other Central branch languages through a comparison of first-person pronominals. In these two subbranches, the pronominal reflexes of first person singular have been commonly replaced by the corresponding plural forms, either inclusive (Naga Belt) or exclusive (South Central). After an elucidation of possible socio-pragmatic motivations of this shared innovation, DeLancey tentatively proposes that first person in Proto-Kuki-Naga exhibits a register-determined alternation to denote singular by the two plural forms in certain socio-pragmatic contexts. Linda Konnerth (ch. 11) reviews pre-existing proposals of classification of South Central languages, with which she integrates new materials from the previously neglected Northwestern subgroup. An updated list of sound correspondences in onsets is then given, along with a brief discussion of carrying out subgrouping through morphosyntactic features. Gwendolyn Hyslop (ch. 12) traces the development of certain verb suffixes in Kurtöp and argues that not all of them are inherited from Proto-East Bodish but from borrowing or morphological innovation, the latter of which has two diachronic origins: grammaticalization from clause-chaining construction, and reanalysis of nominalization. The book successfully presents current advances in linguistic studies in East Himalaya with reference to anthropology. It is recommended to linguists and anthropologists who are interested in this currently flourishing field.

Abstract This paper examines a pattern in Sanskrit literature, labelled for convenience the “eropolitical compound”. This is a formula whereby a male protagonist's claiming of a feminine figure is made instrumental to, or tied indissociably with, a political victory or reclamation of control over a public domain. This paper first reviews a number of examples of the motif in well-known works of drama, poetry, and eulogistic inscriptions largely of the fourth–seventh centuries ce, setting these against the particular historical and social contexts in which they occur. In a second step, the motif is identified at work in other genre and historic contexts of Sanskrit tradition, suggesting thereby that the figure also requires treatment at a broader level of analysis. The paper's third and final step is to adopt from Simone de Beauvoir the constructs of immanence, transcendence, and the woman as Other, in order to argue that the eropolitical compound is indeed a kind of formula or persisting theme that cuts across multiple historic and genre contexts, and that it should be seen as a normative construct reflecting and enacting a common strategy of patriarchal cultures.

Public transport has become an essential part of urban existence with increased population densities and environmental awareness. Large quantities of data are currently generated, allowing for more robust methods to understand travel behavior by harvesting smart card usage. However, public transport datasets suffer from data integrity problems; boarding stop information may be missing due to imperfect acquirement processes or inadequate reporting. This study introduces a supervised machine learning method to impute missing boarding stops based on ordinal classification using GTFS timetable, smart card, and geospatial datasets. A new metric, Pareto Accuracy, is suggested to evaluate algorithms where classes have an ordinal nature. The results are based on a case study in the city of Beer Sheva, Israel, consisting of one month of smart card data. We show that our proposed method is robust to irregular travelers and significantly outperforms well-known imputation methods without the need to mine any additional datasets. The data validation from another Israeli city using transfer learning shows the presented model is general and context-free. The implications for transportation planning and travel behavior research are further discussed.
