Demosthenes in the Renaissance
Demosthenes has been renowned since antiquity as one of the major Athenian orators of the fourth century B.C. His speeches were effectively forgotten in the Latin-speaking west after the fall of the Roman Empire, though they continued to be studied in the Byzantine east. Those speeches were among the first Greek texts to be brought to Italy during the Renaissance, and significant humanists translated some of them into Latin. This essay considers …
A reconsideration of “Races” and their impact on the origins of the Chalcolithic in the Levant using available anthropological and archaeological data
Multivariate Analysis of Compositional Data
There has been debate about whether standard principal components analysis is appropriate for the multivariate analysis of compositional data (e.g. oxide composition of glass), Loglinear transformation has been recommended by Aitchison as a prerequisite. This paper argues that previous comparisons of methodological merits have tended to circularity of argument by making assumptions about the form of a good multivariate result. To break the circul…
A Reassessment of the Origins of the Predynastic in Upper Egypt
Recent arguments about the origins of the Predynastic in Upper Egypt have posited connections between the lithic industries of that region and those of the Western Desert. It has been further claimed that a mid-Holocene arid period may have led the inhabitants of the desert regions to migrate to the Nile Valley. This essay argues that the evidence of stone tools, as well as ceramic evidence from Dakhla Oasis, fail to support the ‘desert migration…

A Prepottery Neolithic Site in the Hisma Basin, Southern Jordan
Présentation de matériel trouvé récemment dans le bassin du Hisma au sud de la Jordanie. Associée à des structures de cercles en pierre, se trouvait une industrie lithique à débitage laminaire. Ce site s'apparente à des sites PPN d'autres régions arides telles que le Sinaï et le Negev
Popular Fiction and the Zimbabwe Controversy
The “Zimbabwe controversy” is a name by which disputes over the origins of the people who produced stone ruins and mines in southern Africa are known. Those disputes occurred between informed and lay opinion; informed opinion being represented by archeologists, and lay opinion by local cult archeologists and, at the turn of the century, explorers and excavators. One aspect of lay opinion that has seldom been discussed is the role of popular ficti…
On Trade and Assimilation in European Agricultural Origins
The article by Runnels and van Andel on 'Trade and the Origins of Agriculture' JMA 1.1 is significant because it represents the latest of many 'explanations' for the origins of agriculture. The authors follow those who have proposed that agriculture rose from the intensification of trade networks and of the social relations of production (e.g. Ames 1985; Bender 1978, 1981; Davidson 1986; Ingold 1980; Price and Brown 1985 - though the authors mist…
The Hand That Mocked
Murray has criticised a number of points raised in my article (Early Physical Anthropology etc.). As his article contains a number of misrepresentations of my position, and as he and I seem to differ over some fairly fundamental things, it seemed that a reply was warranted. Firstly, though, the article in question should perhaps be briefly summarised. The argument presented there was that socio-political values may be incorporated into archaeolog…
Early Physical Anthropology, Confirmation, and Australian Aboriginal Brains
Fahnestock (1984:7) has argued that the importance of a critical historiography of archaeology lies in its ability to generate new insights into the problems and strengths of current theoretical positions with the discipline. This article is an attempt at such a historiography. The basic issues the article deals with are the existence of socio-political values in archaeological research and the relations of those values to hypothesis-testing. A n…
Of mice and men
It has been argued that high frequencies of commensal animals in archaeological deposits may be correlated with sedentism. However, the effects of taphonomic processes, and the evidence of ethology and ethnography, make this linkage hazardous. Consequently high frequencies of commensal animals may not be correlated with sedentism
