S/W-Abb./num. b/w-figs., 29,7 x 21 cm; broschiert/softcoverGeographically, the area in focus belongs to the Istro-Pontic region, known today as Dobrudja, a territory that, until the course of the 1st century AD, represented the northeastern extremity of the Thracian space. In fact, its west Pontic coast was integrated, starting from the 1st century BC, into the anti-Roman Pontic kingdom of Mithridates VI Eupator (120–63 BC), within a dominium Ponti Euxini. In the same area, under Roman influence, a system of alliances was formed among the western Pontic cities, reflecting a Greek community (Κοινόν τῶν Ἑλλήνων). The growing importance of the Istro-Pontic region for the policy of Imperial Rome led to the establishment of a customs office called Ripae Thraciae, which was added to the customs district Portorium Illyrici Utriusque, attested under Claudius, but very possibly created as early as Augustus or even earlier. Strabo, referring to the Istro-Pontic territory and part of the Thracian land, speaks of Little Scythia (μικρᾱ Σκυθία/ Mikrá Skythia), viewed as an extension of the Scythian lands located north of the Black Sea (beyond the Tyras and Istrus, in the context of the Scythians’ settlement “in the nearby land”). This name has no connection to the later Roman province of Scythia, which would encompass the Istro-Pontic territory during the 4th–7th centuries AD. Chronologically, the period addressed in this work covers approximately 280 years of the evolution of the Dobrujan region, representing a relatively narrow temporal unit. Its conclusion coincides with a phase marked by numerous military events occurring in the Lower Danube area, within an environment rife with insecurity, such as those that took place during the reign of Emperor Domitianus. A consequence of these circumstances is the numerous hoards of coins hidden during this time, including those identified in the Istro-Pontic territory. This upper limit, considered as the chronological boundary, can be accepted if it is assumed that the hoards containing Republican and early Imperial coins discovered were assembled or buried by this date.

Agriculture in Anatolia From Antiquity to the Present Symposium /Antik Çağlardan Günümüze Anadolu'da Tarım SempozyumuAnkara 2026 ISBN 978-625-8520-26-2424 S./pp., zahlr. Farbabb./num. colour figs., 25x 20 cm; broschiert/softcoverDieses Buch enthält ausgewählte Beiträge aus den Vorträgen, die auf dem vom VEKAM der Koç-Universität vom 13. bis 15. Mai 2024 veranstalteten Symposium „Landwirtschaft in Anatolien von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart“ gehalten wurden. Das Werk behandelt ein breites Themenspektrum, darunter Ernährungsgewohnheiten im Laufe der Jahrhunderte, verkohlte Samenproben, archäobotanische Analysen, landwirtschaftliche Technologien, Anbau- und Lagerungsprozesse, Handelsgüter, gesetzliche Regelungen zu diesen Produkten sowie interregionale Handelsnetzwerke. In diesem Rahmen zielt das Buch darauf ab, das landwirtschaftliche Erbe Anatoliens von der Vergangenheit bis zur Gegenwart aus einer vielschichtigen Perspektive zu untersuchen und aktuelle Forschungen auf diesem Gebiet sichtbar zu machen. Die in dem Buch enthaltenen Studien dokumentieren nicht nur die historische Entwicklung Anatoliens, sondern bewerten auch umfassend die langwierigen landwirtschaftlichen Prozesse, die sich über die Epochen Ägyptens, Mesopotamiens, Griechenlands, Lydiens, Phrygiens, Roms, Byzanz’ und des Osmanischen Reiches erstrecken. Die „Pionierleistungen“ der anatolischen Landwirtschaft und die originären Erkenntnisse zu diesem Bereich werden im Lichte der Daten zur materiellen Kultur diskutiert; auf diese Weise wird eine ganzheitliche Perspektive auf die Agrargeschichte der Region geboten.This book contains selected papers from the presentations delivered at the symposium “Agriculture in Anatolia from Antiquity to the Present,” organized by VEKAM at Koç University from May 13 to 15, 2024. The work covers a broad range of topics, including dietary habits over the centuries, charred seed samples, archaeobotanical analyses, agricultural technologies, cultivation and storage processes, trade goods, legal regulations governing these products, and interregional trade networks. Within this framework, the book aims to examine Anatolia’s agricultural heritage from the past to the present from a multifaceted perspective and to highlight current research in this field. The studies included in the book not only document the historical development of Anatolia but also comprehensively evaluate the long-term agricultural processes spanning the eras of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Lydia, Phrygia, Rome, Byzantium, and the Ottoman Empire. The “pioneering achievements” of Anatolian agriculture and the original insights into this field are discussed in light of data on material culture; in this way, a holistic perspective on the region’s agricultural history is offered.

S/W-Abb./num. b/w-figs., 23,5 x 16,5 cm; broschiert/softcoverAs a result of excavations launched in 1906 at the Hittite capital of Hattusa, thousands of cuneiform tablets and tablet fragments have been unearthed to this day. With Bedrich Hrozny’s decipherment of the Hittite language in 1915, philological studies on Hittite texts – the oldest known Indo-European language – gained significant momentum; starting in 1921, the tablets that had been recovered began to be published systematically. At present, approximately 95% of the Boğazköy tablet corpus has been published; however, studies aimed at both re-evaluating previously published texts and examining newly discovered documents continue uninterrupted to this day. This volume contains copies (drawings) and photographs of a total of 34 cuneiform tablet fragments of Boğazköy-Hattuša origin, currently preserved in the museums of Çorum and İzmir, along with philological and content-based evaluations of these fragments. Primarily aimed at cuneiform specialists and researchers working on Hittite history, this study contributes new material to the ongoing scholarly debates regarding the Boğazköy archive and helps expand the framework for interpreting the texts.

Over these two days, 16 papers were presented, and all but two authors decided to contribute to this volume.

Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 29,7 x 21 cm; kartoniert/hardcoverThe following richly illustrated pages present 143 burial structures discovered in the Eastern Kom of Tell el-Farkha, the eastern Nile Delta, Egypt, which comprised the remains of 152 individuals. The graves date to the long period between the Protodynastic and the Old Kingdom, that is, ca. 3300 - 2600 BC. However, they did not belong to a single burial ground, but to a series of sequentially used smaller cemeteries. In general, materials collected from the sepulchral context of the site are diversified and offer a lot of data useful for discussion on the people, their material culture, burial customs, and - in a further perspective - also on the beginning of the ancient Egyptian civilisation. The situation is especially favourable because of the settlement's proximity which was inhabited by the same people who built the graves and because most of the structures escaped plundering. The book summarises nearly 20 years of fieldwork conducted at the Tell el-Farkha cemeteries by the Polish Expedition to the Eastern Nile Delta, which in their large part, although not exclusively, were supervised and published by the author.

The Assyrian Trade Colonies Period and Konya Karahöyük, 2. Technical Characteristics of Konya Karahöyük Pottery from the Assyrian Trade Colonies Period, 3. Forms of Konya Karahöyük Pottery from the Assyrian Trade Colonies Period, 4. Conclusion.

The technical characteristics of the pottery are defined under subheadings, examining the preparation of the pottery clay, additives, firing, surface treatments, and decorations that characterize this period. In the section addressing the formal characteristics of the pottery, the vessels are grouped according to their shapes and defined within this classification. The pottery described in this section is also compared with contemporary centers. Additionally, in Chapter 3, the pottery is generally evaluated according to forms and layers. Chapter 4 constitutes the Conclusion chapter and presents the findings obtained as a result of the research conducted.
