A survey carried out by the author in the region ofPetra in 2003 has necessitated a re-examination of certain published Nabataean inscriptions. The following research aims to analyse five Nabataean inscriptions from the southern region of Jordan.

The emergence of complex societies in Anatolia during the third millennium BCE created changes in socio-political organisation and an increase in economic activity through specialised industries such as textiles. In this study, the growth of textiles has been investigated through an intra-spatial analysis of activity areas and textile accoutrement at three Early Bronze Age sites with the aim of interpreting the importance of textiles within various social and economic systems. The Anatolian evidence for spinning and weaving during the third millennium BCE suggests that textiles were produced at a household level with minimal political management or control. However, the large quantity of implements indicates cloth production was an expanding, time-consuming task with significant implications to the economy. The large amounts of collateral data demonstrates that even without written evidence the increase in textile production can inform us about much larger issues of cultural complexity and social organisation in early states.

This study is an investigation of the history of the Hebrew word 'ăSer, from the earliest inscriptional and biblical data to Mishnaic Hebrew, including the language of Ben Sira and the Qumran Scrolls. I consider the argument that 'aser witnesses a diachronic development, adding non-relative functions to the original relative function in later stages of ancient Hebrew, and conclude that the data do not support such an analysis. Instead, I argue that 'aser has a single function throughout ancient Hebrew: to nominalise clauses.

This article should be understood in continuation of V. M. Berginer's previous article suggesting that Goliath suffered from visual field restriction as a result of acromegaly Thus the actual role of Goliath's personal bodyguard ? ? (I Sam 17:7, 41) was taken there as that of a guide for the visually impaired; and Goliath's claim to have seen David armed "with sticks" ? - I Sam 17:43) after the reader has just been informed that David was armed with but one stick (I Sam 17:40) was interpreted there as an indication of his impaired vision. The present more detailed article will attempt to provide much more evidence, both medical and philological (from both biblical and ancient Near Eastern sources) for all these assertions. The giant Goliath was most probably suffering from acromegaly (due to pituitary tumor) in which the main concomitant disorders are bilateral visual field constriction and in some cases diplopia (while central "tunnel vision" remains intact). A detailed chart has been provided listing the various possible allusions in the text ofi Sam 17 to the empirical symptoms of this disease as exhibited by Goliath (including relatively slow movement). It will further be contended that this usage of ? ? in the present context is in fact satirically euphemistic and is intended to (secondarily) heap ridicule on the blasphemous, insolent Philistine, Goliath, in the eyes of the astute reader without, however, detracting from David's heroic achievement. Finally, it will be suggested that the author is implying that it was in fact Divine intervention that truly caused David to decline King Saul's magnanimous proposal to utilize his own heavy armor and weaponry even after the king himself had outfitted David with them (i Sam 17:38-40). Given the circumstances of Goliath's medical condition as suffering from acromegaly, had the kings proposal been accepted, it would have cost David his military advantage and given Goliath (despite his visual disorder) the upper hand.

2 Samuel n relates the infamous story of David's adultery and murder. This article focusses on Josephus' retelling of the story in his Antiquitates judaicae 7.129b-146. The investigation focusses particularly on three questions: the text-form(s) of 2 Samuel n utilised by Josephus, the rewriting techniques applied by him to the biblical data and the distinctiveness of his version that results from their application, and Josephus' handling of the biblical account in relation to its treatment elsewhere in ancient Jewish tradition.

It is suggested that while the Bitnoam text belongs to the genre of the 'Phoenician royal funerary inscription', it extends that genre in three telling ways: first, it makes no reference to any afterlife; second, it directs no curses to potential desecrators who rob the sarcophagus or reuse it; third, it describes how sumptuously the lady is decked out. Together, these suggest that the deceased may have been indifferent to what might happen to her sarcophagus and even her corpse, after her burial, and was perhaps sceptical that there was any afterlife. This points to a perhaps surprising intellectual sophistication in pre-Hellenistic Byblos.

Excavation in medieval levels at the site ofKinet in southern Turkey has yielded evidence for the production of Port Saint Symeon ware, a widely, if not the most widely, distributed glazed ceramic ware in the Mediterranean in the I3 t h century. This article uses instrumental neutron activation analysis of excavated ceramics from Kinet, I930's excavations at another medieval port in the region, Port Saint Symeon/al-Mina, and selected museum pieces, to examine this phenomenon. It also examines other widely traded ceramics from the period: ones thought to originate in the Aegean. The authors attempt to gauge the cultural weight of maritime exchange of ceramics in the medieval Mediterranean, arguing that they were an essential part of the creation of a common taste in diverse societies in the central and eastern Mediterranean basin.

In Kakheti, the following stages of development concerning ceramic shapes, decoration and techniques of manufacture can be observed. First, from the 10 t h through 6 t h centuries BC brownish and greyish wares dominated. Shapes, ornamentation and technique are still redolent of local Bronze Age traditions, and show no external influence. Then, around soo BC we find a new reddish, hard-fired pottery, which often shows formerly unknown shapes. All these novelties come from Achaemenid Iran. In the following centuries, the new technology and repertoire of shapes displace the former ones. Similar development in Shida or Kvemo Kartli provides ample proof of close contacts between these three regions. Around the turn of the millennium there is a total break in the ceramic assemblage - pottery from the 'Yolojlu-Tapa culture' appears and, together with local wares, are often decorated with parallel white lines around the body. This, however, finds no parallel in the neigbouring parts of Eastern Georgia.
