Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Itineraries and route descriptions are among the most outstanding sources for the reconstruction of historical geography. The stages mentioned in texts make it possible to determine the ancient road network in interdisciplinary cooperation between philology and archaeology and to identify ancient toponyms with archaeologically proven settlements dated by excavation or survey. However, routes are rarely the shortest way from A to B, but were always determined by certain parameters: What did the landscape that was travelled through look like? Where was water for travellers and pack animals accessible and where could rivers be crossed? How did travellers adapt to the seasonal conditions? And where did they find safe accommodation if there was no settlement? This volume brings together the answers of international experts from various disciplines. In the first part, the general conditions of vegetation, weather, water resources and general requirements for routes and travelling are discussed in five contributions by K. Deckers & M. de Gruchy, H. Reculeau, E. Cancik-Kirschbaum and A. Dietz. Furthermore, IT methods that allow knowledge modelling of itineraries are presented by C. Cruz and M. Poncet. The second part deals with selected itineraries in Upper Mesopotamia during the Middle and Late Bronze Age. A. Tenu, J.-L. Montero Fenollos & Francisco Caramelo present a new Middle Assyrian route stage, and D. Charpin reconstructs Zimri-Lim's route from the Habur to the Euphrates. N. Ziegler, A. Otto & C. Fink present a new edition of the Old Babylonian "Road to Emar", the most elaborate travel description of Mesopotamian written documentation, and achieve an advanced reconstruction of the route and the identification of various ancient toponyms, above all of ami-Adad's capital city Ekallatum.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The study of weights and measures (metrology) of the Ancient Near East has long been understood as a valuable method for understanding ancient economic interactions and ways of quantification. However, the social value of metrology and the ubiquity of metrological actions and tools has not yet been fully recognized. Weighing and measuring are human processes that involve different people (experts and accountants, dealers and customers) and are based on culturally constructed representations such as the notions of justice, standardization and accuracy. In this respect, epigraphic and archaeological sources complement each other. The epigraphic sources facilitate an approach towards weighing and measuring practices mainly through the point of view of the administrators of economic and political organisations, while archaeological material remains and depictions in images grant insight into the daily activities of private people involved in trade and exchange, measurement experts and palace or temple staff. The cross-referencing and interlacing of these sources, presented in this book by international experts and young scholars, aims to demonstrate how interdisciplinary studies of weights and measures provide a window on Ancient Near Eastern societies.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. English summary: Temples decisively shaped ancient Near Eastern cultures in multiple ways. Temples figure as the center of cities from both an architectural as well as a social perspective and they also came to have enormous economic meaning. Moreover, temples were closely associated with their royal builders and founders and religious life was concentrated within them. The anthology Temples in the Ancient Near East focuses on the complex themes of ancient Near Eastern temples in a broader perspective. The subject matter extends from the planning designs of individual buildings and their spatial embedding to literary descriptions as well as central, cultic, and religious aspects and the economic and social functions of temple organization. The time frame covered by this book goes from the Neolithic period to the Achaemenid dynasty in Persia, and its geographic frame spans the entire Near East from Anatolia and the Levant to Iran. This book provides, therefore, archeological, historical, and philological offerings and an extensive view over all current research questions related to the central themes and achieves a solid study in economic, social and religious history as well as in architecture, art and literary history. German description: Tempel pragten die altorientalischen Kulturen in mehrfacher Weise entscheidend. Tempel bildeten das Zentrum der Stadte in baulicher wie in sozialer Hinsicht, ihnen kam eine enorme wirtschaftliche Bedeutung zu. Zudem waren die Tempel den koniglichen Bauherren und Stiftern eng verbunden und in ihnen konzentrierte sich das religiose Leben. Der Sammelband Tempel im Alten Orient widmet sich dem komplexen Thema des altorientalischen Tempels in einer breiten Perspektive. Die Bandbreite umfasst dabei die Planungsschemata der Einzelgebaude und ihre raumliche Einbettung durch literarische Beschreibungen sowie zentrale kultische und religiose Aspekte und wirtschaftliche und soziale Aufgaben der Tempelorganisation. Der Zeitraum reicht vom Neolithikum bis zu den Achameniden, der geographische Rahmen umspannt den gesamten Vorderen Orient von Anatolien uber die Levante bis nach Iran. Auf diese Weise bieten die archaologischen, historischen und philologischen Beitrage einen umfassenden Uberblick uber aktuelle Forschungsfragen zu diesem zentralen Thema und leisten einen fundierten Beitrag zur Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte, zur Religionsgeschichte sowie zu Architektur, Kunst- und Literaturgeschichte.
