The Buzz
Rounded disks, commonly made from potsherds and pierced with two spaced holes, have been referred to as "buttons" in most archaeological reports, although their function remained a mystery. These perforated disks were actually simple toys that appeared by the beginning of the second millennium B. C., if not earlier, in Israel and the Indus Valley. Their use is attested sporadically to the present among the northwest coast Indians, the Japanese, K…

THE STELAE OF AxUm are among the more enigmatic monuments of the historic period in Africa. When were they built? What architectural designs do they incorporate? Are these motifs borrowed or are they indigenous? If they are borrowed, what source or sources are represented? What is the purpose or function of the stelae? Not all of these questions can be answered even in part at this time, but the vastly increased amount of archeological field work…

Frankincense and Myrrh in Ancient South Arabia
UNTII THE EARI Y nineteenth century, our knowledge of frankincense and myrrh and of their role in the economy of ancient South Arabia was wholly based on references in the Bible and GrecoRoman literature. Biblical writers made it clear that incense trade was one of the pillars of South Arabian economy, and to this general picture, classical authors added a wealth of information, as we shall see below. Unhappily their testimonies are not equally r…
