Behind the facades of Ctesiphon: An archaeometric study of stucco architectural decoration from the Sasanian and Early Islamic periods
Ctesiphon, the capital of the Sasanian Empire (ca. 224–651 CE), was a major center of political power and artistic production in Mesopotamia.

They are also exceptions: the format of the later Assyrian campaign reliefs is in several respects so unusual in ancient Near Eastern art as to demand explanation. Not the least of the campaign reliefs’ unusual qualities is the extensive and often detailed depiction of foreign landscapes and peop…

Cities of God: The Bible and Archaeology in Nineteenth-Century Britain
The history of archaeology is generally told as the making of a secular discipline. In nineteenth-century Britain, however, archaeology was enmeshed with questions of biblical authority and so with religious as well as narrowly scholarly concerns.
