Late Holocene Hunter-Gatherers at L'Anse aux Meadows and the Dynamics of Bird and Mammal Hunting in Newfoundland
This paper explores pre-contact hunting at L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site in Newfoundland, Canada during the Late Holocene. Data from over 40 years of excavations are interpreted in light of recent insights into the subsistence activities of Recent Indian people (2000–500 B.P.) and their historic Beothuk descendants. The site’s lithic assemblage is dominated by large bifaces, scrapers, and late-stage reduction debris that appear relate…
Reflections on the four-winged genie
Le present article traite d'un fragment de poterie decouvert a Nimrud au 19e siecle et decore de motifs imprimes de style phenicien. Ceux-ci representent un genie a quatre ailes tenant deux serpents, sujet plus communement utilise pour le decor de panneaux d'ivoire. Un panneau semblable provenant de Nimrud presente exactement la meme composition que celle de la jarre citee
A Silver Bowl of Artaxerxes I
Etude d'un bol d'argent, recemment acquis par le British Museum de Londres, portant une inscription d'Artaxerxes Ier (465-425 av. J.-C.)
A fibula of possible Luristan type
L'A. etudie une fibule en bronze conservee au British Museum. La provenance de l'objet n'est pas certifiee. D'apres les recherches, cette fibule provient du Luristan, region de l'Iran et est datee entre 750 et 650 avant J.C.. L'A. decrit dans le detail cette fibule qui represente deux tetes se faisant face. Il compare cet objet avec d'autres de la meme region dont l'iconographie a pour sujet l'anthropomorphisme
More Parthian Finds from Ancient Elymais in Southwestern Iran
L'A. s'interesse a deux decouvertes faites en Iran. Il s'agit d'une statue en pierre representant un homme et provenant de Kalgah pres de Masjid-i Solaiman et conservee a Teheran. La sculpture a ete abimee lors de sa decouverte car elle a ete exhumee durant des prospections petrolieres. Elle etait accompagnee de monnaies d'epoque seleucide et parthe. La statue est datee du debut du 3°Siecle apres J.C. Une scultpure en argent a ete mise a jour a M…
New Analyses of Old Babylonian Metalwork from Tell Sifr
Both PRSM and JEC would like to put on record their respect for and gratitude to Lady Mallowan and Professor Wiseman, on the occasion of their 80th and 70th birthdays respectively, both of whom have not only made significant contributions to Mesopotamian studies but have also done so much to further the work of the British School of Archaeology in Iraq. Their services to the School, over many years and sometimes in difficult circumstances, have e…

Some Axe-Heads from Chagar Bazar and Nimrud
This paper is concerned with a distinctive type of axe-head, examples of which have been found at Chagar Bazar and Nimrud (Pl. VII and Figs. 1–2). Both have four horizontal ribs encircling the socket and a rectangular-shaped projection at the base of the blade. The Chagar Bazar specimen comes from a level I grave, to which Sir Max Mallowan assigned outside limits of c. 1750–1600 B.C. He concluded, however, that the axe-head was unlikely to be muc…
Some Inscribed Objects from Sherif Khan in the British Museum
The inscribed objects published here have never been adequately published anywhere, or, in one case, never published at all. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to describe each of the objects in detail and to publish the inscriptions in full. Two of the inscriptions are on stone mace-heads of a distinctive type, and are significant for the dating and derivation of such mace-heads. This will be discussed, and since little has been written …
Analyses of Some Urartian Bronzes
Ancient Urartu is rightly celebrated for its fine bronzework, examples of which have been found at such sites as Toprak Kale, Altıntepe, Karmir Blur and Kayalidere. While a good deal has been written about the stylistic and typological implications of these bronzes, however, very little attention has been paid to metallurgical or technological considerations. Thus, it seems important to publish as soon as possible a series of analyses made some t…

The pottery from the ship
The Gold Jewellery from Nimrud
At present, all the metalwork excavated at Nimrud by the British School of Archaeology in Iraq between 1949 and 1963 is being catalogued with a view to publication. As the amount of gold jewellery is relatively small, and because as a group it seems to form an easily separable entity, it has been decided to isolate it from the main corpus of metal objects and publish it independently. The authors are grateful to Professor Sir Max Mallowan for per…
