In search of Tabal, central Anatolia
Trajectories of social complexity following socio-political collapse have provided fertile ground for new theoretical and methodological perspectives in archaeology. Here we investigate ceramics from the site of Alişar Höyük, a settlement that was likely part of the Iron Age polity of Tabal. Best known from Assyrian texts, Tabal emerged in central Anatolia after the Late Bronze Age Hittite collapse, but its structure and operation remain enigmati…
The Archaeology of Hittite Landscapes
This article layers material, physical, and textual landscapes of the Hittite Empire in a compact borderland region. We argue that a real strength of landscape archaeology is in understanding and articulating medium-scale landscapes through archaeological survey methods and critical study of physical geography. Medium-scale landscapes are a milieu of daily human experience, movement, and visuality that spawn a densely textured countryside involvi…
Chapter Six
The dominant archaeological feature visible at Eleon is a Late Archaic polygonal- block wall that extends 85 m southward from the excavated site along the eastern edge of the plateau, constructed from finely fitted panels of local grey limestone averaging 2 tons in weight. The wall is arcuate for most of its length and finished on each end with an angular bastion. Every part has lost at least one course, and the wall is completely leveled or buri…

The Global Refuge
Huguenot refugees were everywhere in the early modern world. Exiles fleeing French persecution, they scattered around Europe and beyond following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, settling in North America, the Caribbean, South Africa, and even remote islands in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. This book offers the first global history of the Huguenot diaspora, explaining how and why these refugees became such ubiquitous characters in…
Peirce F. Lewis, 1927-2018
All geography rests, finally, upon the land. Few geographers have stayed as connected to the land throughout their professional careers as Peirce F. Lewis, few relished the immediacy of being in th
Unravelled Dreams
One of the greatest hopes and expectations that accompanied American colonialism – from its earliest incarnation – was that Atlantic settlers would be able to locate new sources of raw silk, with which to satiate the boundless desire for luxurious fabrics in European markets. However, in spite of the great upheavals and achievements of Atlantic plantation, this ambition would never be fulfilled. By taking the commercial failure of silk seriously …

This collection of essays and shorter thematic entries offers an extensive overview of the development of slavery, race relations, urban communities, and society in and around Savannah. It ranges f
The Archaeology of Achaemenid Power in Regional Western Anatolia
The Achaemenids conquered Anatolia in the sixth century bce. However, in contrast to the historical descriptions of political response to Achaemenid control, e.g. the so-called ‘Ionian revolt’ of east Greek territories in Western Anatolia, the operation of Achaemenid-period economies in this region remains obscure. Only a handful of occupation sites in western Turkey provide archaeological data contemporary with Achaemenid rule. In this paper, we…
Ramparts of Empire
This cultural and political study examines British perceptions and policies on India's Afghan Frontier between 1918 and 1948 and the impact of these on the local Pashtun population, India as a whole

Scales of impact
The expansion of agriculture in the Near East during the middle Holocene significantly altered the physical landscape. However, the relationship between the scale of agriculture and the magnitude and timing of the environmental impacts is not well known. The Gordion Regional Survey provides a novel dataset to compare settlement density during archaeological periods to rates of environmental disruption. Sediment samples from alluvial cores directl…
The Acadian Diaspora
In this vivacious and wide-ranging first book, Christopher Hodson offers a welcome new perspective on the experiences of the French Catholic communities nestled around the Bay of Fundy who were ruthlessly expelled from their homes by British American forces in late 1755, and catapulted into unanticipated New Worlds around and beyond the Atlantic. As with the historical decision to ethnically cleanse Nova Scotia, Hodson’s study both stands by itse…
Ceramics, trade, provenience and geology
The island of Cyprus was a major producer of copper and stood at the heart of east Mediterranean trade networks during the Late Bronze Age. It may also have been the source of the Red Lustrous Wheelmade Ware that has been found in mortuary contexts in Egypt and the Levant, and in Hittite temple assemblages in Anatolia. Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) has enabled the source area of this special ceramic to be located in a geologically highly loca…

The Republic's New Clothes
Between the American Revolution and the 1840s, silk cultivation was pursued enthusiastically across the United States. Although scorned at first, silk's republican virtues were rediscovered and rearticulated in the antebellum era by a range of proponents. Owing to an evolving infrastructure that integrated the press, the post, and agricultural societies, the appeal of silk drew in farmers and manufacturers of all classes and across many regions. …

Institutionalization of Racial Inequality in Local Political Geographies
Municipalities create a local political geography that can institutionalize subordinate positions for minority groups. Most importantly, local governments determine which areas are incorporated into a municipality through annexation and which are excluded. Through these powers, local governments can diminish or deny minority political standing in local affairs, limit access to public services, and reduce the value of minority property. The bounda…
Patterns of Iron Age interaction in central Anatolia
The cultural and political changes that happened in Anatolia after the collapse of the Hittite Empire have only recently been recognised as a significant, but as yet unexplained, phenomenon. Here we present the results of analyses of ceramics from three sites south and southwest of the present-day town of Sorgun – Çadır Höyük, Kerkenes Dağ and Tilkigediği Tepe – to identity how regional groups within the Hittite core area regrouped in the afterma…

Continuity and Decline in the Anthracite Towns of Pennsylvania
The residents of the anthracite towns of northeastern Pennsylvania show a considerable loyalty to a landscape that provides them with little of material value. This should remind the observer that any broad concept of place must address two different aspects of a landscape: the physical support it provides (means) and the intangible rewards it offers (meaning). The two parts are related to each other through time, however. Most simply, the meanin…

Alluvial Burial of Gordion, an Iron-Age City in Anatolia
Geomorphic research at Gordion, an Anatolian Iron-Age city, shows alluvial burial and extensive leveling by the Sakarya River starting prior to the 4th century B.C. The aggrading river eventually buried parts of the city under 3–5 m of silt, beginning during occupation. Subsequent river movements eroded away substantial parts of the site, including 2 km of outer wall. Buried and removed parts of the site total three times the area now visible on …
Post‐collapse
How communities reorganize after collapse is drawing increasing attention across a wide spectrum of disciplines. Iron Age Boğazköy provides an archaeological case study of urban and political regeneration after the widespread collapse of eastern Mediterranean Late Bronze Age empires in the early twelfth century BC. Recent work at Boğazköy has significantly expanded our understanding of long‐term occupation in north central Anatolia. This work cou…

The Destruction of Sodom, Gomorrah, and Jericho
Among the most widely known of stories relating the destruction of entire cities is the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah some 4350 years ago. These two cities, and Jericho as well, are situated along a major fault extending 1100 kilometres from the axis of the Red Sea to Turkey. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, variations by hundreds of metres of the level of the Dead Sea, and oscillations between arid and wet climates have affected the human set…

Wind-Transverse Corrugations in Pleistocene Periglacial Landscapes of Central Pennsylvania
Periglacial conditions beyond the Wisconsin glacial limit produced wind-transverse corrugations in east-central Pennsylvania. The corrugations are low, linear ridges typically several hundred meters long, 10–30 m wide, and 3–8 m above the local slope. They are composed of matrix-supported diamictons. Depending upon landscape position, the corrugations form welts, step and risers, or ground-ice-scar ramparts. The average direction normal to the co…

Racial Apartheid in a Small North Carolina Town
Planting families
This article examines the evolution of a plantation society in the British American colony of Georgia. It explores the original intentions of founders and settlers, and how those intentions were discarded or adapted in the face of a volatile demographic environment. It uses information from land grant applications to describe the make-up of late colonial families, and locates the experiences of the Georgia population within the broader context of…
By Birth or Consent
IN recent years, the cross-examination of the legal history of early modern Britain and its colonial possessions has generated an abundance of scholarship. Previous generations’ laments about the bifurcation of the study of legal systems and social practices, or concerns about the wearisome tasks involved in making sense of the legal records, have withered away. Indeed, the possibilities of locating legal theories and practices within cultural as…
Captive Histories
From the moment that the New England Reverend ‘John Williams’ published his account in 1707 of his three-year experience in French and Indian captivity, The Redeemed Captive Returning to Zion, the French-sponsored raid on the small Massachusetts township of Deerfield (in the Connecticut River Valley) assumed a mythic, cultural significance in the hearts and the memories of Anglo-Americans in the north-east. The Puritan captivity narrative was alr…

The Colonial American Origins of Modern Democratic Thought
In this terse, dense volume, J.S. Maloy brings historical insights gleaned from seventeenth-century Anglo-America to bear on the political science of modern democratic theory. This is a welcome cross-disciplinary foray that has much to offer by centring on the intellectual matrices of the English Atlantic world in a time of profound upheaval in political ideas and their viability. Pre-empting the limelight occupied by the Glorious Revolution and …
