Fragmentation in Archaeology revolutionises archaeological studies
of material culture, by arguing that the deliberate physical
fragmentation of objects, and their (often structured) deposition,
lies at the core of the archaeology of the Mesolithic, Neolithic
and Copper Age of Central and Eastern Europe. John Chapman draws on
detailed evidence from the Balkans to explain such phenomena as the
mass sherd deposition in pits and the wealth of artefacts found in
the Varna cemetery to place the significance of fragmentation
within a broad anthropological context.
The Routledge Introduction to Qur'anic Arabic is an innovative,
text-based, language course designed for students interested in
acquiring a foundation in Qur'anic and Classical Arabic. Focused on
enhancing comprehension and vocabulary acquisition, the book
contains 40 lessons designed to be covered in about 40 hours of
classroom instruction. Starting with the shorter suras of the
Qur'an, such as al-Fatiha and those of the Juz' 'Amma, it utilizes
their recurring vocabulary and grammatical structures to build a
stable linguistic foundation for learners before moving on to more
challenging and longer suras such as Yasin, Maryam and Yusuf.
Although the book is primarily designed for classroom use, the
vocabulary and structures of the short suras, the accompanying
audio recordings, and the activities found throughout the book will
also be helpful for independent learners. The only prerequisite is
knowledge of the Arabic writing system. The audio material, which
is available on the Routledge website, helps learners improve their
pronunciation of individual sounds and develop their skills to
syllabify Arabic words and phrases correctly in order to
approximate that of native speakers. Also available on the website
are answer keys to exercises and transcriptions of the audio
material. Written by an experienced teacher, The Routledge
Introduction to Qur'anic Arabic is an essential guide for
instructors, students and anyone interested in developing their
knowledge of Qur'anic Arabic.
