This study presents the results of the rescue archaeological excavations conducted during 2024 at Cămin (Satu Mare county), in site Via Căminuluinord, preceded by an intrusive diagnostic performed in 2022. In the occasion, thirty-six features have been identified, the majority clustering on the edge of the Papirgyár river terrace. According to the analysis of the identified inventories, most date to the 3rd century AD, respectively fourteen features. These are followed, quantitatively, by features framed archaeologically to the Second Iron Age, of Celtic origin (3), to the Modern period (2), respectively prehistory (1). A feature dates to the chronological frame comprised between the second half of the 4th century – early 5th century AD. Other features have not yielded relevant archaeological materials (Cx 2/P1, Cx 6/P1; Cx 1/P4, Cx 3/P4, Cx 5/P4, Cx 6/ P4 and Cx 1/P5). The oldest find belongs to the late Bronze, respectively a Gàva II type pit-house. The following time sequence includes two Celtic features, large in size, of which one may be interpreted as workshop. It is worth noting that among the recovered objects are constantly present situlae with graphite in paste, some discovered in 2022 exhibiting repair traces. Best documented chronological sequence belongs to the 3rd century AD. In all cases we are dealing with sunken features, most likely related to clay extraction, like for instance Cx 11, composed of numerous adjoining pits. Among particular artefacts counts a handled decorated antler comb (Cx 2/P2), respectively two fragments of stamped pottery imported from the empire. We believe that all archaeologically identified chronological sequences should be related to occupational activities like clay extraction, its diverse working, even as building material, or activities in connection with bog iron extraction.

In a time of iconoclasm of accepted results of the past it is important to look at consequences what changes would implicate. Not everything what scholars in the past concluded is wrong. This article is an estimate of the timespan of the Hyksos rule in Egypt, based on the stratigraphy of the site of Tell el-Dab‘a and the datum-lines within its stratigraphy. The result is between 105 and 112 years for the duration of the Hyksos rule, what is in keeping with the 108 years read by Giulio Farina over 85 years ago for the timespan of the Hyksos in the Royal Canon of Turin. Higher estimates of over 140 years are unlikely, up to 180 years impossible.

Amphorae are stamped by production centers, especially in the Aegean Region. Stamps, which are epigraphic evidence, provide the date of the layer or context they were found by determining the origin of the amphorae and reveals the commercial relations between the production and consumption centers. There are many amphorae in the Edirne Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography. These amphorae are recorded in various ways in the inventory of the museum. It was determined that only five of the amphorae in the museum collection were stamped. This article aims to classify the stamped amphorae according to their production centers, to give a date to the stamped amphorae and to analyze the inscriptions on the stamps. In this study, seven stamps on five amphorae with preserved double handles were examined. Three of these stamps are Thasos and four are Rhodes. Only two of the Rhodesian stamps have been resolved. As a result of our investigations, it was determined that these stamped amphorae belonged to Thasos and Rhodes. The stamps have the names of the eponym and the producer, ethnicon and symbol. The date of the stamps that can be read within the scope of this article is determined by the names of the eponyms and producers. It is understood that the stamped amphorae here are generally from between the 4th – 2nd centuries BCE.

In the period between the 10th and the 8th centuries BCE the area of south-eastern Anatolia and northern Syria was occupied by small political units established by the Luwians that arose after the collapse of the Hittite Empire and population movements at the end of the 12th century BCE. The area over which the Luwians seized power was inhabited by an ethnically mixed population and the kingdoms founded by the newcomers, commonly referred as to Neo-Hittite, were in fact mult-ethnic and multi-cultural in their composition. This ethnic mix as well as intensive contacts with neighbouring peopoles found their reflection in the material remains of these kingdoms. The complexity of what we call Neo-Hittite culture is best illustrated by small glyptic products which iconographic repertoire most fully reflects the fusion of Hittite artistic achievements and foreign decorative motifs. Decoration of some of the seals recognized as Neo-Hittite contains separate motifs or whole scenes which prototypes are to find in Assyrian art, both from the Middle and the Neo-Assyrian period. The history of Neo-Hittite kingdoms was namely determined by their relationship to Assyria. Contacts of the Neo-Hittite states with the Neo-Assyrian Empire are attested by Assyrian historical records as early as the reign of Assurnasirpal II who initiated strong expansionist policy of the Assyrian Empire to the west. Intensive Neo-Hittite -Assyrian contacts in the 9th and 8th centuries which resulted, among other, in population displacements, created good conditions for artistic exchange and the presence of Assyrian elements noticeable in the Neo-Hittite art as well as in the glyptic was definitely a result of a number of military expeditions led by Assyrian kings to the west against Neo-Hittite states, first in order to capture spoils and then to annex new territories. The process of turning the Neo-Hittite states into provinces annexed to the Assyrian Empire started in the 8th century BCE. It is also the time of the strongest Assyrian influence on the Neo-Hittite art. The best examples of it are small seals mainly used by inhabitants of the Neo-Hittite kingdoms for marking wares and also as amulets, most of which, as it will be shown, was made in this period. The aim of the paper is therefore to discuss these single motifs or even whole decorative patterns occuring in the Neo-Hittite glyptic which reveal in my opinion the clear Assyrian origin as being worked out by Assyrian craftmen, whose artistic production was one of main sources of inspiration of Neo-Hittite artists.

The Territorial conquests of the Medes, as Far East as Hyrcania, could be traced from the first half of the seventh century BC onwards. The first Median kings undertook far-flung campaigns to take control of the region and extend their territory. The existence of the fortified settlement in the Gorgān plain could prove the expansion of centralized Median kingdom as far as Hyrcania. The Assyrian sources of the 9th to 7th century BC are also in overall agreement with the results of the archeological studies in the western steppe of Gorgān plain (Hyrcania). As a result, the Median’s dominance over Hyrcania determined the strategies and political guidelines of the Median kingdom and set the foundations for its transformation from a confederation of tribes to a powerful trans-regional state. Accordingly, in the present paper, beside historical and literary sources, archaeological evidences have also been studied in order to determine the Median’s range of territory in the east of their homeland.

The benefits of the CIIP project for the scholarly community are obvious and enormous and the team merits the admiration and thanks of all those with any interest in ancient Judaea/Palestine, both for the quality and the speed of their common work. By this point the series has already established itself as a reference and no further comment is required by way of introduction. Volume IV covers a geographical region of very special interest, over a period of extraordinary change: from Alexander to Muhammad. While the wise decision was made to devote a separate (2-part) volume to Jerusalem itself, Judaea and Idumaea represent the real heart of the territory explored in the CIIP. The distinctive and decisive social and religious history broadly binding the 172 locations handled in this volume-from tiny sites, quite off the map, to important centers like Hebron, Bethlehem, and Beit Guvrin-lends particular promise for further study of the multitude of micro-histories catalogued here. In various ways, the successive, intricate processes of Hellenization, Romanization, and Christianization are all detectable in the corpus, right up the moment of the Muslim Conquest. A vast deposit of information is naturally included in the 1580 concentrated pages and more than 1300 inscriptions (#2649-3978) comprising Parts 1 and 2. The format is like that followed in the other volumes, and no general historical and archeological introduction is offered at the beginning of the volume. This lack of a synthetic orientation, of course, reflects the challenging nature of the contents, which, besides the chronological and geographical diversity typical also of other similar collections (e.g. CIL, IG), is also unusually linguistically diverse, so that an adequate conspectus is simply very difficult to gain. The bigger sites are, nevertheless, given separate introductions proportioned to their importance; and obviously the true core of the publication is the assemblage and decipherment of the specific artifacts. Here the familiar presentation is attractive, compact, and complete. Each individual entry includes a brief description, including the findspot (when known), a transcription, translation, short (or sometimes rather developed) commentary, and a focused bibliography. Nearly always, photographs or drawings are also provided. A 60-page Index of Personal Names (cumulative with the earlier volumes) along with three maps and a key to the named locations is included at the back of Part 2. An additional index of foreign words and phrases would have been a large undertaking (not made easier by the multiple languages involved), but an

We have analysed samples of 216 stamped Rhodian transport amphorae for their clay provenance in order to examine the degree of variation within a large and representative body of material of stamped Rhodian amphora handles.

Although the epigraphic records do not attest an exact toponomy to confirm where exactly Hygassos is but rather announce an ethnic, this paper aims to suggest further by chasing the inter-relatability of some selected inscriptions. The supplementary data is also presented to find out and assess the question of settlement and chronology in a variety of contexts. The data repository attained from the close catchment of the Acropolis (in Kızılköy) give a lucid picture of a densely occupied " urban " zone and represents a flashback to the Hellenistic links of the deme, however it is quite a painful job to trace the earlier features that are highly disturbed or misrepresented in the khorai. Even though land use seems to be quite determined by the interplay of environmental and habitational dynamics (the settlement patterns hardly appear to be forcefully driven) in both, the inland deme of Hygassos and coastal/quasi-coastal Phoinix were the two diverse implantations in the Rhodian Peraia, in respect of attraction in the Hellenistic period. Changes within the spatio-temporal context are not that easy to explore, however, when architectural data and micro-plans are reviewed, mobility and/or seasonality could have been there, beyond the smooth layouts, particularly near the coastal hilly terrains of Hygassos. Still, crumbles of ceramic evidence which hint at Hygassos' potential to offer links with the late Bronze Age and; cultic figures or linguistic rules that manifest her tendency toward a stronger Anatolian, hence Karian character in the Peraia, make her a lot more distinguished than the neighbouring demoi. Rezumat. Izvoarele epigrafice nu atestă o toponimie exactă pentru a confirma exact unde este situată cetatea Hygassos, ci sugerează mai degrabă o etnie. Autorii își propun să ofere și alte ipoteze, urmărind relațiile dintre unele texte analizate. Datele arheologice sunt de asemenea prezentate pentru a evalua și cronologia așezării. Vestigiile de pe Acropole (în Kızılköy) oferă o imagine a unei zone " urbane " intens ocupate.

This monograph comes as a result of the research carried out by the authors (Ioan Carol Opriș and Alexandru Rațiu) between 1993-1996, 2006-2010, as well as from several other survey ditches in 2011 and 2014 on a building of approx. 10 x 11 m and a surface of 109.5 m2 situated in the southern part of the fort at Capidava, next to the main gate. The building C1 functioned during the 6th c. until a violent attack destroyed it in 582 or subsequently, in the early years of Mauricius Tiberius` reign. On this occasion the whole southeastern side of the fort (curtains G and H, as well as the gate tower no 7 and the largest building known so far intra muros – a granary/ horreum) has been heavily burnt. Both the planimetric distribution, along the via principalis in the vicinity of the gate, and its specific architectural features, corroborated with the analysis of the finds, allowed us to establish the function of the building C1 as storage facility with commercial destination for the local distribution of annona goods (in LR 1 and LR2 amphorae), besides other expensive merchandise in Cretan, Western Asia Minor and above all Levantine containers. The latter are the unmistakable and so called Carthage LR 4 amphorae produced in Gaza - Palaestina Prima for the famous vinum Gazetum (Gazetina, Gazeticum). Three annexes follow the text: the first one focused on the numismatic analysis of an emergency hoard of bronze folles found in situ (Andrei Gândilă – Univ. of Alabama in Huntsville) and offers key elements of further dating the moment when the building was destroyed, under heavy attack; the second is dedicated to the dendrochronology of the building, based upon its wooden elements saved from the incendium post 582 (Tomasz Ważny, Peter I. Kuniholm, Charlotte L. Pearson - Univ. of Arizona in Tucson); the third is the analysis report of an organic sample collected from inside a Pontic amphora, indicating a content of pine tar, most likely needed in treating the boats sailing on the Danube (Adriana Rizzo and Choi Mak - Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York).
