Swords, Rapiers and Horse-riders
There is much confused thinking about swords, the way they were used and the influence of their users on their form. An extreme case is that of the late Harold Peake who, describing a sword-type, said: 'These weapons, which must have been used as hatchets as well as for slashing, are called leaf-shaped swords'. He may, of course, have meant that they were used for hacking as well as for slashing-uses which, as I shall show, differ more than one w…
Fire and the Sword
In the course of excavation, diggers at many sites come upon a layer in the accumulated debris having such a considerable ash content as to convince them that the settlement occupying the site at that particular period had been destroyed by fire; and this supposition is of course strengthened if the ceramic forms or other cultural objects contained in the mound change at this point. While in very many instances these deductions are probably corre…
The Chronology of the Third Cultural Period at Tepe Hissar
Opinion remains divided on the question of the dating of Tepe Hissar III and Dr. C. F. A. Schaeffer's recent work on the comparative stratigraphy of Western Asia provides further backing for the acceptance of a late third millenium dating. This being so, although the writer has already put forward a number of points to support a relatively low dating, it is felt that a more thorough examination of the material available, and a clearer appreciatio…

The Buddhist Origin of the ‘Sumerian’ Heads From Memphis
In the museum of the Department of Egyptology at the University of London there is a collection of terra-cotta heads and figures discovered by Sir Flinders Petrie in the workmen's quarter at Memphis. They have been published by the Egyptian Exploration Fund in the volumes Memphis I, Palace of Apries ( Memphis II), and Meydum and Memphis III. My interest was aroused by the fact that there were among them a number of terra-cottas of Indian type, bu…

The Age of Frontier Terra-Cottas
Work on the material available from sites in the Charsadda Subdivision and the Mardan District is constantly producing new facts and new evidence, and so, although I have up to a point stated my case quite clearly in a previous article, I feel that there is a considerable amount of unpublished material which will go a long way towards presenting a very different view of these finds from that put forward by Mile Corbiau in Iraq . As a beginning I …
The Microlithic Industries of India
The Mother-Goddess of Gandhara
It is forty years since Alfred Foucher carried out his archaeological mission in Gandhara and, while it cannot with justice be said that the area has been archaeologically neglected ever since, there are points connected with material culture, art and religion that cry out for attention. When Foucher conducted his investigations he based these on the itinerary of Hiuan-tsang and he was searching for Buddhist relics. Unfortunately he saw stupas an…
