Uncovering the lives of rock doves ( Columba livia ) in Late Bronze Age Hala Sultan Tekke, Cyprus
Despite a long and dynamic history of coexistence with humans, the prehistory and domestication of the common pigeon ( Columba livia ) are not well understood. Here, the authors re-examine a large assemblage of avian bones excavated from Late Bronze Age contexts at Hala Sultan Tekke on Cyprus, aiming to contextualise the presence of pigeons within the settlement and their relationship with contemporaneous humans. The results of zooarchaeological …

Excavations in the Hagios Charalambos Cave
The cave of Hagios Charalambos is a Minoan secondary ossuary in the Lasithi plain in the mountains of east-central Crete. It was excavated in two campaigns (1976-1983 and 2002-2003). Artifacts include pottery, figurines, seals, stone tools, metal tools and weapons, jewelry, and other objects buried with the deceased. The original burials range in date from Neolithic to Middle Minoan IIB, but the bones were all moved to the ossuary within a relati…
Whale Bones and Shell Purple‐dye at Motya (Western Sicily, Italy)
Excavations 30 years ago at sixth–fifth century BC Motya in western Sicily produced a unique assemblage of four Sperm whale vertebrae, crushed purple‐dye shells, and stone tools. The whale vertebrae were the platforms for breaking the shells. Here I discuss recent sightings of Sperm whales in the Mediterranean, the archaeological evidence for whaling in the Mediterranean, and possible whale products available, as well as Italian shell purple‐dye …

Excavations at Tall Jawa, Jordan, Volume 2 The Iron Age Artefacts
This volume presents a functional and typological study of the Iron Age artefacts recovered during six years of excavation at the site of Tall Jawa, in central Jordan. The introduction presents information on the recording and classification system used to identify artefact types. The main chapter presents each category of artefact with examples of the most representative items, and their parallels from sites in Israel and Syria. Examples include…

Ornaments of the earliest Upper Paleolithic
Two sites located on the northern Levantine coast, Üçağızlı Cave (Turkey) and Ksar 'Akil (Lebanon) have yielded numerous marine shell beads in association with early Upper Paleolithic stone tools. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dates indicate ages between 39,000 and 41,000 radiocarbon years (roughly 41,000–43,000 calendar years) for the oldest ornament-bearing levels in Üçağızlı Cave. Based on stratigraphic evidence, the earliest…
Paleoindian Cave Dwellers in the Amazon
A Paleoindian campsite has been uncovered in stratified prehistoric deposits in Caverna da Pedra Pintada at Monte Alegre in the Brazilian Amazon. Fifty-six radiocarbon dates on carbonized plant remains and 13 luminescence dates on lithics and sediment indicate a late Pleistocene age contemporary with North American Paleoindians. Paintings, triangular bifacial spear points, and other tools in the cave document a culture distinct from North America…

The Trade of Indo‐pacific Shells Into the Mediterranean Basin and Europe
This paper is on shells which originate in the Indo‐Pacific marine province (Red Sea or other waters to the south and east) and are found at sites in the Mediterranean Basin and Europe over 250 km. from their source. The catalogue of over 160 sites yielding these shells ranges in date from the Upper Paleolithic to recent times. Sixteen sites which supposedly produced Indo‐Pacific shells are shown to be incorrect identifications. Many of these exo…
On Cassid Lips and Helmet Shells
The lips of Phalium shells are known from a number of Near Eastern and Mediterranean archaeological sites. In the past these objects have been described as bone, tusk, or unspecified shell. The known examples are described, as are complete examples from graves and sanctuaries. Most of these lips can be seen as personal ornaments or offerings in graves or sanctuaries

Palaikastro Shells and Bronze Age Purple-Dye Production in the Mediterranean Basin
The 1963 excavation at Palaikastro- Kastri in eastern Crete produced about 150 marine shells. The species preserved are listed in Table 1, and their date and context in Table 2. Significant shells from the collection are compared with other Minoan examples in Part I. The shell evidence for purple-dye production at Palaikastro is studied along with the other evidence from the Bronze Age Mediterranean in Part II

Industrial Exploitation of Murex Shells
Since time immemorial attractive colours have held man's attention. Occasionally he has assigned to them symbolic significance, often as religious or status insignia. The various shades of reds and purples have been especially chosen; some see in them the colour of blood, the sun or fire. The presence of ochre and haematite in Palaeolithic burials may be the first instance of the high regard for these colours. Probably the most famous red–purple …

Marine and fresh-water molluscs from the Epipaleolithic site of Hayonim Terrace, Western Galilee, Northern Israel, and other East Mediterranean sites
The marine and fresh-water shells from the Geometric Kebaran A to Late Natufian (ca. 13.000-10500 B.P.) site of Hayonim Terrace are analysed by species. All shells (mainly dentalia) were probably used as ornementals; none are food debris. The sample is compared with other pre-Bronze Age East Mediterranean shell collections

The Schola Praeconum I
LA SCHOLA PRAECONUM I La cosiddetta Schola Praeconum si trova nella parte nord-ovest del Palatino sovrastante il Circo Massimo. Un sondaggio, effettuato nel 1978, rivelò un massiccio riempimento databile, sulla base delle 38 monete identificate, al secondo quarto del V secolo d.C., forse tra il 430 e il 440 circa. Il riempimento conteneva un'enorme quantità di ceramiche—terra sigillata chiara, lucerne (per la maggior parte di produzione locale), …

Men, Saints, or Dragons
D URING the Pleistocene Epoch ofprehistory (three million to ten thousand years ago) many islands in the Mediterranean Sea provided the habitat of animals that developed in a unique fashion: they became either dwarfed or gigantic. For instance, there were dwarfed elephants (the smallest only three feet high at the shoulder) on Cyprus, Crete, Sicily, Malta, Sardinia, Tilos, Naxos and Delos, and dwarfed hippos on Cyprus, Crete, Sicily and Malta. De…

Recent and Fossil Shells from Tomb xviii, Gypsades cemetery, Knossos, Crete
Tomb XVIII in the Gypsades cemetery, south of the Knossos Palace, was excavated by Sinclair Hood, George Huxley, and Nancy Sandars in 1955 and published in 1959. 1 The main chamber contained at least 9 burials. Only a handful of objects were found associated with these burials: a small bronze bead with the skull of Skeleton II, 4 small, plain vessels with the skull of Skeleton III, silver ear-rings with Skeleton IV, a lentoid sealstone of hammere…

On the Trade of Shells and Fish from the Nile River
Large, fresh-water shells (Aspatharia, Mutela) and fish (Clarias) that originated in the Nile River have been found on excavations mainly in Palestine but also in the Aegean, Cyprus, and North Africa beyond Egypt. The shells from prehistoric sites are seen as exotic imports, often burial or sanctuary offerings. They are often holed to make small containers. Those found in quantity from later sites may have been an exotic food source. The fish fro…
