The archaeology and history of the Parthian period (c. 150 B.C. – A.D. 250) in
Iraq has received little serious attention from scholars in recent years. This
thesis used objects in British museum collections from Nineveh as a focus for
the study of this period in Northern Mesopotamia, combining traditional
archaeology and numismatic analysis with scientific studies.

Supervisors: PRS Moorey (overall); MS Tite, D. Sellwood.

Chapter I presents a critical analysis of the excavated evidence for the
occupation of Nineveh in the Parthian period with special attention to
distinctive artefacts such as figurines, lamps, and molded bowls. Chapter II
uses petrographic and chemical analysis of selected ceramics to elucidate the
materials and methods of manufacture, with particular attention to identifying
local and foreign wares. Special attention is paid to glazed wares. Chapter III
is a numismatic study based on the major hoard of Parthian bronze coins of
Nineveh. A complete re-classification of the hoard not only identifies a number
of new coin types, but also provides a revised list of rulers who issued coins
at Nineveh. Chapter IV investigates all aspects of Roman involvement with
Nineveh and its place in the stormy relationship between Rome and Parthia.
Evidence is advanced for there having been contingents of Roman troops stationed
at Nineveh and the site placed within its context in the state of Adiabene.

Starting To Collect Antique Oriental Rugs

series 'Starting to Collect', this volume investigates one of the most thorny of
collecting fields - antique oriental rugs. Novice collectors are in good hands
here, for the author takes them through the initial problematical areas - where
to buy, what to look for, care and restoration, before turning his attention to
the materials and techniques, dyes and designs, involved in the manufacture of
rugs. In subsequent chapters on the output of different rug-producing locations,
Dr. Eiland considers these area by area, so that, for instance, Persian rugs are
discussed under eighteen area subheadings. Within each chapter he considers the
typical structure, size, designs and colours found in the area, together with
any other significant features which will aid the new collector in
identification.

demonstrates the manner in which the American President's idealism proved the
crucial factor in the decision to enter World War I. As this event destabilized
the long-standing European balance of power, it resulted in a particularly
unequal peace that prompted bitter resentment from the defeated Germans. From
this perspective, the rabid nationalism of Hitler, or an equally extreme
reaction, emerged as a predictable response. World War II thus continued the
former conflict, having been made virtually inevitable by Wilson's decision to
involve America in a conflict.

applied to select ceramics, particularly dating to the Ayyoubid (A.D. 1174–1250)
period from Tell Tuneinir in Syria. Because XRD has not been commonly applied to
archaeological ceramics, a thorough background of the technique is given, with
emphasis on quantitative measurements of quartz and calcite tempers. Several
compositional groups based on raw materials and firing conditions emerge. While
most ceramic samples are of local manufacture, Islamic stonepaste wares, and the
“grenade” sample emerge as likely imports. We conclude that XRD is a powerful
tool in characterizing archaeological ceramics and may be used to
semi-quantitatively gauge the amount of quartz, calcite, and feldspars in a
sample. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Islam brought with it an outpouring of peoples from the Arabian Peninsula. While
the composition of these Islamic armies became more diverse as the religion
spread through the Near East and across North Africa to Western Europe, there
were clearly elements of both the urban Arabian population, of which the Prophet
was a member, and the rural Bedouins, whose migrations from their original
homeland continued sporadically for several centuries. This slowed during the
period of Turkish hegemony, but it left a scattering of enclaves identifying
themselves as ethnic Arabs throughout the Islamic world.

in the history of Israel. Many of the sedentary peoples that early Hebrews came
into contact with in Canaan had a history of building temples and shrines to
their deities. The Hebrews apparently did not (although nothing is known of how
they worshipped in Egypt). It is recorded in the Bible that foreigners were used
to construct the Temple. An important question is why. Various passages in the
Bible make references to worship at high places (which had various structures)
as well as a holy tent. Before moving on to the construction of the Temple these
two types of semi-permanent/temporary structures will be considered.

in tombs, ancient Egypt preserved paintings that capture scenes of everyday
life. This class will cover the materials and methods of manufacture of ancient
Egyptian art. Special attention will be paid to ceramics, glass, and metal.
However, there are many other arts that will be covered, such as dying and
weaving, as well as wooden furniture and structures in stone and mud-brick. The
course will present materials on two levels. The first is what information can
be gleaned from a careful examination of objects, along with what is known of
how they are made from such sources as wall painting and texts. The second step
will be to consider the materials that the ancient Egyptians used. This cannot
necessarily be deduced from looking at an object. For ancient materials, Lucas
provides a detailed scientific examination - with the Egyptologist Harris - of
the contents of King Tut’s (r. 1332–1323 BC) tomb. While some of the theories
they proposed have been modified by subsequent study, they present a magisterial
discussion of what the ancient Egyptians used, as well as how they used it.

an introduction to the history of ceramics from earliest times to the present,
drawing upon three separate disciplines. Special attention will be paid to the
methods and materials used to create high-end ceramics from various cultures
(such as Greek painted pottery, Islamic lusterware, and Chinese glazed
ceramics). Commonly used archaeological terms (adapted from ancient Greek
pottery) will be used in considering ancient forms. Finally, standard methods of
scientific analysis will be presented. At the end of the class students will
have many new ways of understanding ceramics.
