Ancient Near Eastern Studies

Recent excavations in the upper Tigris River valley have yielded an increasing number of archaeological data that have been helping archaeologists in the reconstruction of ancient histories in this specific region. Among these projects, the Hirbemerdon Tepe Archaeological Project has focused its attention on a funda- mental phase of occupation ― the Middle Bronze Age ― that characterises the site as well as numerous other settlements in the upper Tigris River valley. The present article will emphasise the role played by Hirbemerdon Tepe, located along the western bank of the upper Tigris river valley in southeastern Turkey, at both a local and inter-regional level during the Middle Bronze Age period that shows an increase in long-distance commercial exchanges between Mesopotamian and Anatolian polities. More specifically, an in-depth analysis will be given to the large architectural complex discovered on the site's High Mound and on a preliminary interpretation of the material culture found within it.

This article deals with some aspects of the link between Joshua (Jeshua) Bin Nun and 'Alī Ibn 'Abū Tālib, the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, as reflected in the canonical writings of the Shī'a Islam, which include commentaries on the Qur'ān and the interpretations that proliferated around them, as well as Hadīth literature. The Shī'ite writers were influenced by the history of joshua's life and selected certain details from it for adaptation to the life of'Alī Ibn 'Abū Tālib, clothing them in shī'ite dress with the aim of giving 'Alī an aspect of holiness and also of showing that both 'Alī and Joshua belonged to those chosen men of high quality, and that the tradition of inheritor to the prophet has existed since ancient times, before the appearance of shī'ism on the stage of history, so as to give legitimacy to the doctrine of inheritance among the Shī'a.*.

Book review: El-Qitar A Bronze Age Fortress on the Euphrates ed. by Thomas McClellan (2019)

书评：《幼发拉底河上的青铜时代堡垒：El-Qitar》，托马斯·麦克莱伦编（2019年）

In 1978 the University of Melbourne acquired 44 pots from Tomb A 72 South at Bab adh-Dhra', Jordan, excavated by Paul Lapp in 1965. In response to archaeological collection management concerns, Nancy Lapp, in consultation with the Jordanian Department of Antiquities, had innovatively proposed that the tomb groups from the original Lapp excavations be distributed to interested American Schools of Oriental Research member institutions for the purposes of display and education. The University of Melbourne was one of 24 institutions to receive material from Bab adh-Dhra'. This paper discusses the biography of the objects from Tomb A 72 South. It begins at the start of the Early Bronze Age in Jordan, then follows the journey of the 44 pots from Tomb A 72 South, first to Amman and then to Melbourne, where the objects are used for curriculum and community engagement purposes. The evolving life of the objects from Tomb A 72 South is discussed: manufacture and mortuary use, looting and salvage excavations, the curation crisis and archaeological collections management practices, museum exhibits and displays, and aids for research, teaching and object-based learning. The biography of the objects reveals they are not static, they are animated by our ongoing relations with them.
