That Sumerian counting in multiples of sixty has to begin with the “making” the “first” sixty is obvious, but is seldom stated.

Traditional scholarship has portrayed the purpose of the ritual as apotropaic, and that the family dead are feared as hostile ghosts. This study suggests that profound beliefs about life and death in Mesopotamia, and interactions between the family and deceased loved ones can be found in the material and textual evidence. A new perspective focusing on evidence from the second millennium BC in ancient Mesopotamia is used to investigate the kispum ritual using ideas from the archaeology of emotion and Death and Dying studies. Current understandings based on textual based studies and the varied traditions of archaeological investigation are introduced in Chapter 2. Then, using notions of continued bonds, new insights are explored to better understand the ongoing relationship between the living and the dead. In Chapters 3 through 6 textual sources and archaeological evidence are assessed against this background, and against each other, with attempts to correlate textual with archaeological details. In the context of ancient Mesopotamia, this thesis employs new approaches to mortuary archaeology to provide new insights suggesting ways that conventional methods may be enhanced. Finally, this study also brings us back to an archaeology of death which is interested in attitudes toward the dead. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS While analyzing what has gone into this project, I realized that it came to fruition through the influences of several key mentors. For teaching me how to ask insightful questions and think more critically about theory and evidence, I am overwhelmingly grateful to my supervisor, Dr. David Edwards. Without his guidance and urging to look again at ideas and how they are expressed, I would have been unable complete this project. Special thanks go to him for his kindness, vast patience and many hours of mentoring across the miles. I have learned a lot from him. The original idea for this thesis came from my colleague Dr. Dennis Klass, who with his unbounded enthusiasm and confidence, encouraged me to take a deeper look at the evidence for Continued Bonds in ancient Mesopotamian families. I would like to thank Giorgio Buccellati for many years of Akkadian, and he and Marilyn Kelly--Buccellati for seasons of fieldwork at Terqa, and many fond memories.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/11443867" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="9d99b41568cf4841105dc544150c8dde" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":36984437,"asset_id":11443867,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/36984437/download_file?st=MTczOTg1MDU2MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="1718108" href="https://leicester.academia.edu/RenataMacDougal">Renata M MacDougal</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="1718108" type="text/json">{"id":1718108,"first_name":"Renata","last_name":"MacDougal","domain_name":"leicester","page_name":"RenataMacDougal","display_name":"Renata M MacDougal","profile_url":"https://leicester.academia.edu/RenataMacDougal?f_ri=3791","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/1718108/6950418/10875649/s65_renata.macdougal.jpeg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_11443867 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="11443867"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 11443867, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_11443867", });

Traditional scholarship has portrayed the purpose of the ritual as apotropaic, and that the family dead are feared as hostile ghosts. This study suggests that profound beliefs about life and death in Mesopotamia, and interactions between the family and deceased loved ones can be found in the material and textual evidence. A new perspective focusing on evidence from the second millennium BC in ancient Mesopotamia is used to investigate the kispum ritual using ideas from the archaeology of emotion and Death and Dying studies. Current understandings based on textual based studies and the varied traditions of archaeological investigation are introduced in Chapter 2. Then, using notions of continued bonds, new insights are explored to better understand the ongoing relationship between the living and the dead. In Chapters 3 through 6 textual sources and archaeological evidence are assessed against this background, and against each other, with attempts to correlate textual with archaeological details. In the context of ancient Mesopotamia, this thesis employs new approaches to mortuary archaeology to provide new insights suggesting ways that conventional methods may be enhanced. Finally, this study also brings us back to an archaeology of death which is interested in attitudes toward the dead. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS While analyzing what has gone into this project, I realized that it came to fruition through the influences of several key mentors. For teaching me how to ask insightful questions and think more critically about theory and evidence, I am overwhelmingly grateful to my supervisor, Dr. David Edwards. Without his guidance and urging to look again at ideas and how they are expressed, I would have been unable complete this project. Special thanks go to him for his kindness, vast patience and many hours of mentoring across the miles. I have learned a lot from him. The original idea for this thesis came from my colleague Dr. Dennis Klass, who with his unbounded enthusiasm and confidence, encouraged me to take a deeper look at the evidence for Continued Bonds in ancient Mesopotamian families. I would like to thank Giorgio Buccellati for many years of Akkadian, and he and Marilyn Kelly--Buccellati for seasons of fieldwork at Terqa, and many fond memories.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":36984437,"asset_id":11443867,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":1718108,"first_name":"Renata","last_name":"MacDougal","domain_name":"leicester","page_name":"RenataMacDougal","display_name":"Renata

The first category is <br />a Babylonian boundary stone (kudurru), it is dated to the reign of Nebuchadnezzar I, who reigned from about 1126-1103 BC. This kudurru is previously unknown to scholarship and bears no museum number or other evidence as to its earlier history, the assumption that it was looted and then brought to London as a product of illegal trafficking of antiquities for the market. It was seized at London’s Heathrow airport by UK Border Force in 2012 and identified at the British Museum. The second case is a group of 156 complete and sometimes crudely conserved clay tablets written in cuneiform script. The tablets range in date from the mid-third millennium BC to the Achaemenid period (sixth-fourth centuries BC). There is also a single tablet of the little-known late Babylonian king Nabu-nasir (Nabonassar) (747–734 BC). In addition, there are two letters, six legal texts and eight round school texts, all of the Old Babylonian period.

The first category is \r\na Babylonian boundary stone (kudurru), it is dated to the reign of Nebuchadnezzar I, who reigned from about 1126-1103 BC. This kudurru is previously unknown to scholarship and bears no museum number or other evidence as to its earlier history, the assumption that it was looted and then brought to London as a product of illegal trafficking of antiquities for the market. It was seized at London’s Heathrow airport by UK Border Force in 2012 and identified at the British Museum. The second case is a group of 156 complete and sometimes crudely conserved clay tablets written in cuneiform script. The tablets range in date from the mid-third millennium BC to the Achaemenid period (sixth-fourth centuries BC). There is also a single tablet of the little-known late Babylonian king Nabu-nasir (Nabonassar) (747–734 BC). In addition, there are two letters, six legal texts and eight round school texts, all of the Old Babylonian period. After an investigation by the UK’s Fraud Investigation Service of HMRC, they were seized from the freight forwarder near Heathrow Airport in June 2013. They were identified, catalogued and photographed at the British Museum, handed over in a ceremony at the British Museum and are now also safely in Baghdad.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":80654481,"asset_id":50217551,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":4093362,"first_name":"St John","last_name":"Simpson","domain_name":"britishmuseum","page_name":"StJohnSimpson","display_name":"St John Simpson","profile_url":"https://britishmuseum.academia.edu/StJohnSimpson?f_ri=3791","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/4093362/1926308/18312749/s65_st_john.simpson.jpg"},{"id":50940706,"first_name":"Sebastien","last_name":"Rey","domain_name":"britishmuseum","page_name":"SebastienRey","display_name":"Sebastien Rey","profile_url":"https://britishmuseum.academia.edu/SebastienRey?f_ri=3791","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/50940706/13529824/14737727/s65_sebastien.rey.jpg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":3791,"name":"Mesopotamian Archaeology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mesopotamian_Archaeology?f_ri=3791","nofollow":true},{"id":27203,"name":"Illicit Antiquities Trade","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Illicit_Antiquities_Trade?f_ri=3791","nofollow":true},{"id":81688,"name":"British Museum","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/British_Museum?f_ri=3791","nofollow":true}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_10355375" data-work_id="10355375" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/10355375/Remembrance_and_the_Dead_in_Second_Millennium_BC_Mesopotamia_full_text">Remembrance and the Dead in Second Millennium BC Mesopotamia, full text</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">This thesis uses Continuing Bonds Theory to reinterpret kispum, an ancient Mesopotamian family funerary practice, in a new way.

Traditional scholarship has portrayed the purpose of the ritual as apotropaic, and that the family dead are feared as hostile ghosts. This study suggests that profound beliefs about life and death in Mesopotamia, and interactions between the family and deceased loved ones can be found in the material and textual evidence. A new perspective focusing on evidence from the second millennium BC in ancient Mesopotamia is used to investigate the kispum ritual using ideas from the archaeology of emotion and Death and Dying studies. Current understandings based on textual based studies and the varied traditions of archaeological investigation are introduced in Chapter 2. Then, using notions of continued bonds, new insights are explored to better understand the ongoing relationship between the living and the dead. In Chapters 3 through 6 textual sources and archaeological evidence are assessed against this background, and against each other, with attempts to correlate textual with archaeological details. In the context of ancient Mesopotamia, this thesis employs new approaches to mortuary archaeology to provide new insights suggesting ways that conventional methods may be enhanced. Finally, this study also brings us back to an archaeology of death which is interested in attitudes toward the dead.<br /><a href="http://hdl.handle.net/2381/29251" rel="nofollow">http://hdl.handle.net/2381/29251</a></div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/10355375" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="539d19d210589b379c940284339fc54d" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":36421201,"asset_id":10355375,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/36421201/download_file?st=MTczOTg1MDU2MCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="1718108" href="https://leicester.academia.edu/RenataMacDougal">Renata M MacDougal</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="1718108" type="text/json">{"id":1718108,"first_name":"Renata","last_name":"MacDougal","domain_name":"leicester","page_name":"RenataMacDougal","display_name":"Renata M MacDougal","profile_url":"https://leicester.academia.edu/RenataMacDougal?f_ri=3791","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/1718108/6950418/10875649/s65_renata.macdougal.jpeg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_10355375 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="10355375"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 10355375, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_10355375", });

How Art Made the World ventures back to the creation of Stonehenge and the reign of Alexander the Great to reveal how imagery became an indispensable weapon in every leader's political armoury. <br /> <br />This episode explores how art can be used as a persuasion device by those in power and when did we learn to use images, to create a powerful icon or symbol, this way? <br /> <br />The use of art as a tool for those in power, started at different times, in different cultures. Near Stonehenge the grave of the Amesbury Archer was discovered in 2002, the grave was different to those previously found near the site, as this one was not Roman, but much earlier, dating to when the first sarsen stones were erected. What made him interesting were his gold hair tresses, possibly the oldest dated gold objects in Britain, and the fact that he was a foreigner, from the region that is now Germany / Switzerland. The archer had completed an epic journey for the time, and the treasures in his grave show a man of status. Art for personal adornment, like these hair clasps, elevated him above his peers. <br /> <br />As time progressed, art became a political tool, kings competed for more dazzling adornments. As kingdoms got bigger the kings had to overcome communication issues. Darius the Great of Persia, ruled over 20 nations from Persepolis. As very few people could read, Darius had stone reliefs created that combined styles from all over the empire, the carvings showed each nation bring tributes to their king. This showed respect, and the carvings communicated that Darius admired and respected his people. Darius created a symbol for himself, that of the archer, symbolic to Persians of leadership and wisdom, central to the concept of kingship. Darius embossed this symbol on gold coins, which became the currency to trade within the empire. <br /> <br />Darius’ conqueror, Alexander the Great, took this concept further. From an early age, Alexander’s image was being made for him. In his fathers tomb, an Ivory head recognisable as Alexander’s was found, showing that his image had been made for him in advance of him becoming king. In Pompeii, a copy of an original Macedonian painting, shows Alexander the Great, fearless, fixated on his enemy and leading from the front. He is in the midst of battle with king Darius, shown fearful and panicking. Where Darius had used a symbol to communicate his power, Alexander used his face. On defeating the Persians, Alexander melted down all their coins replacing them with coins bearing his head. Tests have shown that people are more influenced by the image of the head and this technique has endured 2500 years and still used today. <br /> <br />This artistic power can be used for sinister purposes, to persuade us to see things a certain way or even deceive us. The earliest known use of this dates back to the Romans. In 40BC Rome was in crisis, the city state was split between royalists and republicans. You could tell people’s political allegiance by how they dressed. Octavian (Augustus) understood the power of art and used it to his advantage. He needed to persuade his opponents ,and used artists to create a less threatening image, one that won over the republicans. Although the image showed him as a powerful general, it didn’t show any military arms, and his gestures were more about humility than power. His armour breast plates show him accepting surrender of the Parthian Empire, with the gods looking on approvingly. The statue offered reassurance, but it was all a lie. While he portrayed himself as a peace maker, he was getting rid of the opposition; while he was preaching humility, he lived like corrupt royalty and while pretending to hand power to the people he reinstated himself as a king. <br /> <br />The leaders of past used paint and marble, today we use digital manipulation. But as humans we still remain vulnerable to the persuasive power of art.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/7649428" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="120c69953a4fcac0eafac9cf4f636616" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":36900093,"asset_id":7649428,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/36900093/download_file?st=MTczOTg1MDU2MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="6711338" href="https://cambridge.academia.edu/DavidBarrowclough">David Barrowclough</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="6711338" type="text/json">{"id":6711338,"first_name":"David","last_name":"Barrowclough","domain_name":"cambridge","page_name":"DavidBarrowclough","display_name":"David Barrowclough","profile_url":"https://cambridge.academia.edu/DavidBarrowclough?f_ri=3791","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/6711338/2637252/48103184/s65_david.barrowclough.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_7649428 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="7649428"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 7649428, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_7649428", });

How Art Made The World. Episode Three: The Art of Persuasion","created_at":"2014-07-13T07:40:11.573-07:00","url":"https://www.academia.edu/7649428/BBC_TV_How_Art_Made_The_World_Episode_Three_The_Art_of_Persuasion?f_ri=3791","dom_id":"work_7649428","summary":"The visual devices used by Tony Blair and George Bush to get themselves elected and maintain power, come not from modern times, but a world that is thousands of years old. How Art Made the World ventures back to the creation of Stonehenge and the reign of Alexander the Great to reveal how imagery became an indispensable weapon in every leader's political armoury.\r\n\r\nThis episode explores how art can be used as a persuasion device by those in power and when did we learn to use images, to create a powerful icon or symbol, this way?\r\n\r\nThe use of art as a tool for those in power, started at different times, in different cultures. Near Stonehenge the grave of the Amesbury Archer was discovered in 2002, the grave was different to those previously found near the site, as this one was not Roman, but much earlier, dating to when the first sarsen stones were erected. What made him interesting were his gold hair tresses, possibly the oldest dated gold objects in Britain, and the fact that he was a foreigner, from the region that is now Germany / Switzerland. The archer had completed an epic journey for the time, and the treasures in his grave show a man of status. Art for personal adornment, like these hair clasps, elevated him above his peers.\r\n\r\nAs time progressed, art became a political tool, kings competed for more dazzling adornments. As kingdoms got bigger the kings had to overcome communication issues. Darius the Great of Persia, ruled over 20 nations from Persepolis. As very few people could read, Darius had stone reliefs created that combined styles from all over the empire, the carvings showed each nation bring tributes to their king. This showed respect, and the carvings communicated that Darius admired and respected his people. Darius created a symbol for himself, that of the archer, symbolic to Persians of leadership and wisdom, central to the concept of kingship. Darius embossed this symbol on gold coins, which became the currency to trade within the empire.\r\n\r\nDarius’ conqueror, Alexander the Great, took this concept further. From an early age, Alexander’s image was being made for him. In his fathers tomb, an Ivory head recognisable as Alexander’s was found, showing that his image had been made for him in advance of him becoming king. In Pompeii, a copy of an original Macedonian painting, shows Alexander the Great, fearless, fixated on his enemy and leading from the front. He is in the midst of battle with king Darius, shown fearful and panicking. Where Darius had used a symbol to communicate his power, Alexander used his face. On defeating the Persians, Alexander melted down all their coins replacing them with coins bearing his head. Tests have shown that people are more influenced by the image of the head and this technique has endured 2500 years and still used today.\r\n\r\nThis artistic power can be used for sinister purposes, to persuade us to see things a certain way or even deceive us. The earliest known use of this dates back to the Romans. In 40BC Rome was in crisis, the city state was split between royalists and republicans. You could tell people’s political allegiance by how they dressed. Octavian (Augustus) understood the power of art and used it to his advantage. He needed to persuade his opponents ,and used artists to create a less threatening image, one that won over the republicans. Although the image showed him as a powerful general, it didn’t show any military arms, and his gestures were more about humility than power. His armour breast plates show him accepting surrender of the Parthian Empire, with the gods looking on approvingly. The statue offered reassurance, but it was all a lie. While he portrayed himself as a peace maker, he was getting rid of the opposition; while he was preaching humility, he lived like corrupt royalty and while pretending to hand power to the people he reinstated himself as a king.\r\n\r\nThe leaders of past used paint and marble, today we use digital manipulation. But as humans we still remain vulnerable to the persuasive power of art.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":36900093,"asset_id":7649428,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":6711338,"first_name":"David","last_name":"Barrowclough","domain_name":"cambridge","page_name":"DavidBarrowclough","display_name":"David

This graduate seminar investigates the relationship between bodily practice, social performance, and the production of architectural space. Critical literature on the human body, its gender and sexuality, its materiality, and everyday life have flourished in the recent decades, while discussions of architectural space, place and landscape came to the foreground. Drawing on this corpus of recent scholarship in the social sciences and humanities, we will work closely with architectural, art historical and archaeological case studies drawn from the ancient Near Eastern world, and consider the impact of such new paradigms on the field. Neolithic figurines, megalithic monuments, rock reliefs, cave paintings, funerary rituals, urban festivals and festive spaces with visual narrative programs will constitute some of the case studies. Discussions of embodiment, embodied subjectivity, agency of objects, animism of architectural spaces and landscapes, gendered representation of the body, gender performance, multi-sensorial experience of the everyday world, spectacles of the state and biopolitics will play a central role in the seminar. While reading theoretical scholarship on body, performance and space, we will also be studying closely select case studies of archaeological sites, bodies of material evidence drawn from athe ancient Middle Eastern world from prehistory to the late Iron Age.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/25902436" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="0c7c3eb2af5f4b46b1896bf192b482fb" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":46266968,"asset_id":25902436,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/46266968/download_file?st=MTczOTg1MDU2MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="61796" href="https://uic.academia.edu/%C3%96m%C3%BCrHarmansah">Ömür Harmansah</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="61796" type="text/json">{"id":61796,"first_name":"Ömür","last_name":"Harmansah","domain_name":"uic","page_name":"ÖmürHarmansah","display_name":"Ömür Harmansah","profile_url":"https://uic.academia.edu/%C3%96m%C3%BCrHarmansah?f_ri=3791","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/61796/17598/156287684/s65__m_r.harmansah.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_25902436 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="25902436"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 25902436, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_25902436", });

Discussions of embodiment, embodied subjectivity, agency of objects, animism of architectural spaces and landscapes, gendered representation of the body, gender performance, multi-sensorial experience of the everyday world, spectacles of the state and biopolitics will play a central role in the seminar. While reading theoretical scholarship on body, performance and space, we will also be studying closely select case studies of archaeological sites, bodies of material evidence drawn from athe ancient Middle Eastern world from prehistory to the late Iron Age.

L. Woolley and his staff investigated the so-called “archaic” levels of the Ziqqurat Terrace, the sanctuary of the moon god Nanna-Zu’en at Ur. Two superimposed phases (Archaic II-I) of a complex consisting of a large rectangular boundary wall encompassing domestic-like buildings (kitchen temples), were extensively exposed. This paper aims at re-assessing the Archaic I phase evidence from a contextual point of view. In order to reconstruct the excavated loci, a thorough analysis of the unpublished archive of the Ur excavation kept at the British Museum of London was carried out, and the original materials, housed at the BM and the Penn Museum of Philadelphia, were taken into examination afresh. The outcome of this study would be a functional analysis of the Archaic I phase, completed by a new discussion of the finds. This would provide new element for the discussion of the chronological framework of this phase, as well as shed more light on the activities carried out in one of the most important sanctuaries of Early Dynastic Mesopotamia.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/2486177" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="6f83a0007bfc94fc1de71568b4685c13" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":30504322,"asset_id":2486177,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/30504322/download_file?st=MTczOTg1MDU2MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="345308" href="https://ub.academia.edu/GiacomoBenati">Giacomo Benati</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="345308" type="text/json">{"id":345308,"first_name":"Giacomo","last_name":"Benati","domain_name":"ub","page_name":"GiacomoBenati","display_name":"Giacomo Benati","profile_url":"https://ub.academia.edu/GiacomoBenati?f_ri=3791","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/345308/997537/157125766/s65_giacomo.benati.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_2486177 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="2486177"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 2486177, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_2486177", });

L. Woolley and his staff investigated the so-called “archaic” levels of the Ziqqurat Terrace, the sanctuary of the moon god Nanna-Zu’en at Ur. Two superimposed phases (Archaic II-I) of a complex consisting of a large rectangular boundary wall encompassing domestic-like buildings (kitchen temples), were extensively exposed. This paper aims at re-assessing the Archaic I phase evidence from a contextual point of view. In order to reconstruct the excavated loci, a thorough analysis of the unpublished archive of the Ur excavation kept at the British Museum of London was carried out, and the original materials, housed at the BM and the Penn Museum of Philadelphia, were taken into examination afresh.

They are the house of the god, the sacred mountain, an attempt to rise as physically close to the heavens as possible. But archaeological analysis has rarely addressed the visual affectiveness—the physical and emotional impact upon a viewer situated in the landscape—of these structures as part of their symbolic function and design. The positioning of such dominant structures relative to the movement of the sun through the day, and to their surrounding architecture and wider settlement, can be shown to engineer the presentation of a series of potently symbolic images to intended viewers.<br />This paper will outline the ways in which ziggurats were designed to be visually affective, both in general terms and in highly culture-specific ways which echo the evidence of ancient textual sources. This will be illustrated by a case study of the ziggurat of Ur-Nammu at Ur, in southern Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq), including a detailed analysis of changing sunlight distribution on the ziggurat terrace through the day and year. The intention is to demonstrate how the visual effects produced by structures in changing sunlight can act as an important organizing principle in built space and can be considered as one of the primary functions of some architectural designs. For large-scale monumental structures, intended to be viewed primarily at a distance, the visual experience they engender is overwhelmingly a product of the relative positions of the building, the viewer and the sun. This experience varies profoundly through the day, and also through the year. This paper examines how the massive ziggurat structures of ancient Mesopotamia and their surrounding temple complexes sought to engineer this experience through their orientation to the sun and their positioning of the viewer.<br />The ziggurat structures examined here are restricted to those of the Bronze Age; from the first appearance of distinctive ziggurats in the mid-Third Millennium BC until the start of the Iron Age at around 1200 BC. The ziggurats considered here are also restricted geographically to the Mesopotamian plain of central and southern Iraq in order to correspond to the geographical range of the textual sources alongside which they are examined.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/14784426" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="039c5c6445bc4d724d554b41c4d4e621" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":38425057,"asset_id":14784426,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/38425057/download_file?st=MTczOTg1MDU2MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="21371548" href="https://liverpool.academia.edu/MaryShepperson">Mary Shepperson</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="21371548" type="text/json">{"id":21371548,"first_name":"Mary","last_name":"Shepperson","domain_name":"liverpool","page_name":"MaryShepperson","display_name":"Mary Shepperson","profile_url":"https://liverpool.academia.edu/MaryShepperson?f_ri=3791","photo":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/47ad85191e3845af9a0b7d44e05e480d?s=65"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_14784426 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="14784426"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 14784426, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_14784426", });
