Palethnologie
ISSN: 2108-6532
Palethnologie
P@lethnologie est la première revue bilingue de préhistoire en ligne (français/anglais). Cette double volonté (support numérique et bilinguisme) est au service de la plus grande diffusion de travaux, en particulier de recherches francophones, auprès d'une large communauté scientifique. L'approche socio-culturelle des populations préhistoriques (celles des chasseurs-cueilleurs, pasteurs et agro-pasteurs) y est développée grâce à la grande diversité des sujets, des contextes géographiques ainsi que des disciplines envisagés : analyse du mobilier archéologique, paléoenvironnement, archéozoologie, art, étude monographique de site... Ces annales proposent, au sein de chaque numéro, un dossier thématique, des contributions sur divers sujets qui composent l'actualité scientifique.
P@lethnologie is the first on-line bilingual (French-English) review of Prehistory. Its digital and bilingual format permits diverse works, particularly research by French speaking authors, to be widely diffused to a broad scientific community. A socio-cultural approach to prehistoric populations (hunter-gatherers, pastoralists and agro-pastoralists) is developed through the inclusion of a broad range of disciplines: archaeological artifact analysis, paleoenvironment, zooarchaeology, art, monographs of site studies, etc. Each issue includes a thematic section, composed of articles presenting recent research.

Grand helléniste, arpenteur de terres et de textes, Pierre Chuvin double son érudition académique de professeur des Universités d'un intérêt vivant pour les mondes de l'Asie centrale et de la Turquie sous leurs aspects les plus divers. Ainsi a-t-il fondé et dirigé l'Institut français d'études sur l'Asie centrale (1993-1998), avant de prendre la tête de l'Institut d'études anatoliennes (2003-2008).
Succédant à un premier recueil d'hommages consacré au monde grec du mythos au logos, le présent volume rassemble des contributions consacrées à l'Orient centrasiatique et turc. Leur diversité est à l'image de la curiosité inlassable de celui auquel elles sont dédiées.
Des mausolées de Samarcande à la Sublime Porte, de l'Antiquité à l'époque contemporaine, de l'écrit à l'image, de l'Histoire à l'aventure, de la mythologie à la médecine, sans oublier la poésie, ce sont les facettes très multiples d'une culture d'une extrême richesse qui sont illustrées ici. Écrits par des chercheurs de plusieurs pays, les textes réunis et présentés dans cet ouvrage de référence renouvellent notre approche d'un monde fascinant et trop souvent méconnu.

Parmi les dix mille îles et îlots de Méditerranée, moins de trois cents seraient habités et seulement deux cents mesureraient plus de 5 km2. Ces îles sont des entités géologiques et géographiques complexes où coexistent des formations de roches très anciennes et d'autres créées très récemment (îles volcaniques). A la fois ouvertes sur l'horizon et les côtes continentales voisines, elles restent, paradoxalement, relativement fermées de par leur isolement, créant ainsi des spécificités quant à leur biodiversité et leur colonisation par les sociétés humaines. Les îles de Méditerranée forment ainsi un objet d'étude privilégié pour la géoarchéologie. Celte dernière emprunte les concepts, les méthodes et les techniques de disciplines relevant des sciences humaines et environnementales (l'archéologie, l'épigraphie, la philologie, la géographie. la paléoécologie, la paléontologie...).
Cet ouvrage établit un premier état des connaissances dans le domaine de la géoarchéologie des îles de Méditerranée. L'éclatement géographique de ces dernières, ainsi qu'une histoire de l'occupation propre à chacune, démontrent toute la difficulté de globaliser ces espaces géographiques, progressivement transformés en territoires sous l'action répétée des sociétés humaines. Des spécialistes dressent ici les relations complexes entre les dynamiques et les processus paysagers et les logiques d'occupation humaine depuis la fin du Pléistocène.
Le présent ouvrage recueille vingt-quatre contributions regroupées dans cinq parties intitulées « Anthropisation et mutations paysagères à la transition Paléolithique/Néolithique » ; « Mobilité et reconstitution des anciens niveaux marins depuis la fin de la dernière grande glaciation quaternaire » ; « Adaptation aux mutations paysagères à l'échelle intra-site : la nécessaire prise en compte des paramètres environnementaux » ; « Deltas, lagunes et marais : des interfaces propices à l'implantation des sociétés humaines » et « Matières premières ; exploitation et interactions ».
Cet ouvrage s'adresse principalement à des spécialistes de géographie, d'archéologie et de paléoécologie mais aussi à un public plus large : étudiants des niveaux L-M-D, enseignants et simples néophytes souhaitant s'initier aux concepts, méthodes et techniques de la géoarchéologie.

Intermediate Biblical Greek Reader: Galatians and Related Texts cover image
After completing basic biblical Greek, students are often eager to continue to learn and strengthen their skills of translation and interpretation. This intermediate graded reader is designed to meet those needs. The reader is “intermediate” in the sense that it presumes the user will have already learned the basics of Greek grammar and syntax and has memorized Greek vocabulary words that appear frequently in the New Testament. The reader is “graded” in the sense that it moves from simpler translation work (Galatians) towards more advanced readings from the book of James, the Septuagint, and from one of the Church Fathers. In each reading lesson, the Greek text is given, followed by supplemental notes that offer help with vocabulary, challenging word forms, and syntax. Discussion questions are also included to foster group conversation and engagement. There are many good Greek readers in existence, but this reader differs from most others in a few important ways. Most readers offer text selections from different parts of the Bible, but in this reader the user works through one entire book (Galatians). All subsequent lessons, then, build off of this interaction with Galatians through short readings that are in some way related to Galatians. The Septuagint passages in the reader offer some broader context for texts that Paul quotes explicitly from the Septuagint. The Patristic reading from John Chrysystom comes from one of his homilies on Galatians. This approach to a Greek reader allows for both variety and coherence in the learning process.
This reader is a collaborative project that developed out of an advanced Greek course at Portland Seminary (2017-2018). The following students contributed equally to the content of the textbook.

Thinking Through Thucydides

[First posted in AWOL 31 July 2012, updated 29 November 2019]

Thinking Through Thucydides (T3)
The ancient Greek historian Thucydides famously claimed that his work would be ‘a possession for all time’: not just the history of a single war between the Athenians and the Spartans, but a guide to the way that the world works, and especially to politics and war.  He was right. Over the last two hundred years, Thucydides has been one of the most frequently quoted ancient writers. His ideas have influenced historians, politicians, international relations experts and soldiers; all agree that his work is useful and important.

Thucydides does not offer simple lessons, but a training course in analysis and deliberation. He demands that his readers follow his narrative of events and think about how things could have turned out differently; he asks them to listen to opposing arguments and to weigh up the issues – and then to think about how those arguments relate what actually happened.  He shows how the world is complicated – and how we can make sense of that complexity. In brief, he aims to help his readers to develop the skills that every citizen of a democracy needs.

The lessons that Thucydides offers are needed today more than ever. The problem is that his work is complex and difficult, even in the original Greek – and of course most readers have to rely on translations, often of dubious quality. The aim of the T3 project (Thinking Through Thucydides, or Thinking, Through Thucydides) is to make key passages from Thucydides' work accessible to as many people as possible, setting his words in context and explaining significant points. These passages can then serve as a resource for thinking about the world and our place in it, a starting-point for debate about some of the most vital issues that face us today.

The project is at a very early stage of development; on this webpage you will find one sample passage of Thucydides (II.43, from the Funeral Oration) along with contextual material and key questions to discuss, to show you what we have in mind. We plan to develop this resource in partnership with schools, so that it can serve as a resource for the study of both Classical Civilisation and Citizenship, but we hope that this will be of interest to everyone. In due course we will be introducing a blog where you can post your comments and suggestions, and get involved in debates about the significance of passages; in the meantime, if you have any comments, or if you would like to be involved in developing this project, please contact Neville Morley (n.d.g.morley(at)bris.ac.uk).

Journal of Religious Competition in Antiquity
The Journal of Religious Competition in Antiquity is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to exploring competitive interactions among religious and philosophical persons and groups in the ancient Mediterranean, including Greeks, Romans, Jews, Christians, and Muslims. We specifically aim to foster the development of new approaches and methodologies that highlight contours and nuances of religious competition between and among these communities and individuals. Special consideration is given to submissions that are interdisciplinary in approach and/or employ social-scientific theoretical frameworks. Our goal is to demonstrate competitive interactions among differing socio-religious discourses in antiquity and to explore the ways that these groups mutually influenced each other.

Modern Classicisms

Modern Classicisms
What is it about ancient Greek and Roman art that still captivates and provokes the modern imagination? How can contemporary art help us to see the classical tradition with new eyes? And what can modern-day responses – set against the backdrop of others over the last two millennia – tell us about our own cultural preoccupations?
Modern Classicisms sets out to explore these and other questions by bringing together classicists, art historians, critics and artists. The project commenced in August 2017: activities have included a workshop on 10 November 2017, and an exhibition in spring 2018This project comes about thanks to the generous support of Christian Levett and the Mougins Museum of Classical Art, with additional support from the Department of Classics and Faculty of Arts and Humanities at King’s College London. King’s is proud to be working with other external collaborative partners, including the Courtauld Institute of Art and Minerva (The International Review of Ancient Art and Archaeology).

Hercules Project
The Hercules Project aims to chart and account for the significance in western culture of the classical hero Hercules, from late antiquity via the Renaissance to the present day.
Building on the success of the 2013 Hercules: a Hero for All Ages conference, Stage 2 of Emma Stafford‘s Hercules project was supported by an AHRC Networking (2016-2018). This facilitated the development of a series of four publications on various aspects of the post-classical reception of Herakles-Hercules, via meetings between the editorial teams and a further conference, Celebrating Hercules in the Modern World, held at Leeds 7-9 June 2017.
The international network of scholars established by the two conferences is continually being consolidated and added to via the JISC mailing list Hercules: a hero for all ages and the Facebook Group Hercules2017: anyone interested in post-classical receptions of Herakles-Hercules is welcome to join!

    Cuneiform Site Index (CSI): A gazetteer of findspots for cuneiform texts in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East
    Rune Rattenborg
    This index contains primary spatial, toponym, attribute, and external link information on approximately two hundred and fifty locations across the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East where texts written in cuneiform and derived scripts have been found. The index has been prepared by Rune Rattenborg as part of Memories For Life: Materiality and Memory of Ancient Near Eastern Inscribed Private Objects a research project based at Uppsala University and the University of Cambridge financed by a Research Project Grant from the Swedish Research Council (grant no. 2016-02028). The intention is to continuously update this index to provide an easy digital geographical reference for Assyriologists, Near Eastern Archaeologists, and other researchers with an interest in the cuneiform script. New download versions will appear regularly. Time permitting, we will aim to expand the index to contain also basic periodisation and bibliographical information for easy reference, along with quantitative data.
    The current version of the index is stored with the University of Uppsala Department of Linguistics and Philology, hosted by Jakob Andersson and is available for download through links here. The index is supplied in .kml (suitable for use with GIS applications and Google Earth), .csv (for database integration) and .geojson (for GIS and web mapping applications).

    Index field categories

    This descriptive text is downloadable as .rtf. The index contains a total 14 fields, namely one primary ID, three integer fields for accuracy and data links, eight string fields with toponyms, and two spatial data fields. Index fields include site_id (string)accuracy (integer), cdli_provenience_id (integer), pleiades_id (integer), com_name (string), anc_name (string), transc_name (string)ara_name (string), fas_name (string), heb_name (string)gre_name (string),cdli_legacy (string),lat_wgs1984 (integer) and lot_wgs1984 (integer). Coordinates given use the WGS 1984 geographic coordinate reference system (EPSG 4326). Site locations have been traced from archaeological gazetteers and web mapping services (e.g. Pleiades and OpenStreetMap) and digitally generated from optical recognition using current and legacy satellite imagery datasets in QGIS 3.6. Below is a description of the individual data fields contained in this index.

    site_id (Primary ID)

    The primary ID for each record is an arbitrary and unique three-letter code.

    accuracy (Locational accuracy)

    This field gives an assessment of the level of accuracy with which the geographical location given can be said to relate to the historical location on a four-tier scale, being certain, being representative, 1 being tentative, and being unknown. Accuracy levels reflect site visibility and delineation. Where a discrete site outline can be traced, the site has been drawn as a polygon and the location derived from the resulting centroid, giving a value of 3. Where the site can be positively located, but not drawn (e.g. Bisutūn), the value is given as 2. Where a site location can be placed with reasonable certainty, but not positively located, the value is given as 1. Where the location cannot be defined with any reasonable degree of certainty, the value is 0.

    cdli_provenience_id (Primary ID)

    The numerical provenience ID for the corresponding site in the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI) catalogue, if available. The previously employed set of provenience values can be found in the cdli_legacy field (see below). As integer record IDs will be employed by the CDLI going forward, legacy provenience values should be employed for reference only.

    pleiades_id (Pleiades ID)

    The primary ID of the corresponding place record in Pleiades: A Gazetteer of Ancient Places, if available. The stable link will be https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/[PleiadesID]. Please note that, while the record entity in the current index matches the record entity in Pleiades, the geographical location of the record contained in this index and the associated Pleiades record may not be the same. Records in this index not found in Pleiades will be added to the latter repository in due course.

    com_name (Common name)

    This field gives a common toponym for the location, most often the one by which the site has commonly appeared in the literature. It can be used for initial information searches, and also serves as the primary toponym in spatial index files supplied below. As names in this field rarely abide by uniform rules of transcription and are drawn from across different languages, they are poorly suited to be used as formal reference names.

    anc_name (Ancient name)

    This field gives a common rendering of the ancient name of the site in question, if known, based on readings from cuneiform texts. Places can, of course, have many names, and the current index is not intended to provide an exhaustive collection of all variant ancient writings or toponyms attested for individual records.

    transc_name (Transcribed name)

    This field give the modern name in Latin script maintained from the original when dealing with Maltese or Turkish toponyms or transcribed as accurately and consistently as possible from Arabic, Farsi, Greek or Hebrew toponyms. Where names in multiple languages are found, the transcribed name is drawn from the principal language of the national entity currently associated with the record in question.

    ara_name (Arabic name)

    The Arabic name of the site, if applicable and available. Values derive from archaeological reports or from online resources e.g. Wikipedia (Arabic) and OpenStreetMap. Note that the spelling of toponyms in Arabic may vary, and so discrepancies between values given in this index and other repositories may occur.

    fas_name (Farsi name)

    The Farsi name of the site, if applicable and available. Values derive from archaeological reports or from online resources, e.g. Wikipedia (Farsi) and OpenStreetMap. Note that the spelling of toponyms in Farsi may vary, and so discrepancies between values given in this index and other repositories may occur.

    gre_name (Greek name)

    The Greek name of the site, if applicable and available. Values derive from archaeological reports or from online resources, e.g. Wikipedia (English or Greek) and OpenStreetMap. Note that the spelling of toponyms in Greek may vary, and so discrepancies between values given in this index and other repositories may occur.

    heb_name (Hebrew name)

    The Hebrew name of the site, if applicable and available. Values derive from archaeological reports or from online resources, e.g. Wikipedia (Hebrew) and OpenStreetMap. Note that the spelling of toponyms in Hebrew may vary, and so discrepancies between values given in this index and other repositories may occur.

    cdli_legacy (CDLI legacy provenience)

    All associated legacy provenience values found in the current catalogue of the Cuneiform Digital Library Initative (www.cdli.ucla.edu) are given in this field, separated by ” : “. Where both a certain and a speculative value for the same provenience record exists (that is, the uncertain value is followed by “?”), the latter has not been included.

    lat_wgs1984 (Latitude)

    Latitude of the record location in decimal degrees in the WGS 1984 geographic coordinate reference system (EPSG 4326).

    lon_wgs1984 (Longitude)

    Longitude of the record location in decimal degrees in the WGS 1984 geographic coordinate reference system (EPSG 4326).

    Christus in natura: Quellen, Hermeneutik und Rezeption des Physiologus

    [Christus in natura. Sources, Hermeneutics and Reception of the Physiologus]

    Ed. by Kindschi Garský, Zbyněk / Hirsch-Luipold, Rainer
    Funded by Schweizerischer Nationalfonds (SNF)

    Open Access

    Aims and Scope

    This volume offers detailed studies into the Physiologus, a Greek manuscript probably written in Egypt in the 2nd century CE. The Physiologus was the first Christian text to sum up a general understanding of nature using biblical and pagan sources and it has an extensive reception history throughout the medieval period. Its symbolic use of animals and plants, etc., has deeply influenced visual arts, literature, and heraldry, but this visual language often remains enigmatic. This book, going back to a project of the Swiss National Foundation (Das ‹Evangelium der Natur›. Der griechische Physiologus und die Wurzeln der frühchristlichen Naturdeutung) offers new insights into the origins and the interpretation of this symbolic language.

    L’archéologie cognitive
     L’archéologie cognitive
    L'archéologie cognitive, née dans le monde anglo-saxon, a d'abord fait l'objet de maintes proclamations et développements théoriques, ce qui explique peut-être son faible impact sur la recherche française. Si elle n'a pas encore réussi à se constituer en discipline incontestable, c'est sans doute qu'elle se présente aujourd'hui beaucoup plus comme une série de questions qui se posent à la croisée-des disciplines que comme une branche particulière de l'archéologie. Principalement constituée...

    The Epigraphic Landscape of Athens
    The Epigraphic Landscape of Athens
    Welcome to the Database of The Epigraphic Landscape of Athens, a project whose objective is to show the relationship between public inscriptions and urban space in ancient Athens
    .
    Every inscription, carved on stone and set up in the city space, can be also seen as a communication medium. Public documents (decrees, laws, treaties, accounts, lists, etc.) can be therefore considered as special objects, through which the 'voice' of the polis community is made tangible, becoming monument. In order to appreciate such an ancient communicative phenomenon in its entirety, it is important not to disjoint it from its physical presence and fruition in the polis-space, just as it is important not to ignore the double nature of the epigraphic documents as texts as well as monuments. In this regard, The Epigraphic Landscape of Athens is specially focused on the places of publication of the Athenian public inscriptions (i.e. documents issued from the late 6th century to Late Antiquity, and set up in the asty), grounding on the idea that urban spaces are able to complete, and even to enrich with further ideological or cultural overtones, the original message of the inscribed texts; and that these latter, with their very presence in the city, are able to produce a different sort of public space as 'written space'.
    The Epigraphic Landscape of Athens project is funded by the Italian Ministry of Education and Research in the frame of the SIR Programme (Scientific Independence of young Researchers) 2014, and hosted by the Department of Historical Studies, University of Turin.
    The ELA Database is an open-access online resource aimed at providing to scholars a new research tool for a topographical study of the Athenian public inscriptions as communication media in the frame of The Epigraphic Landscape of Athens project
    .
    The ELA Database population is currently in progress. Please consult the News section of the website for information about the current coverage, and the groups of inscriptions that are being scheduled for publication in the database. Updates on publications, conference speeches, and other activities related to The Epigraphic Landscape of Athens project are also provided on this page.
    You are anytime welcome to write to us at anytime for enquiries at chiara.lasagni@unito.it. Of course, relevant comments and suggestions, or new collaboration proposals are more than appreciated. A training demo of the database form is available in the Backend section of the website, through the login info “demo@epigraphiclandscape.unito.it” (user) - “demo” (password).
    How to cite the ELA Database as a source of reference
    The ELA Database records can be referred to in long or in abbreviated form. As for the latter, we recommend to use the abbreviation "ELA" followed by the ELA-id number. For citations in the long form, please consult the post note attached to each record: e.g.: ELA no. 144 = Lasagni, Chiara, Fragment of an honorific decree, 2017. DOI: 10.13135/ELA-141
