Volume II in the series on The Archaeological Map of the Murghab
Delta focuses on The Bronze Age and Early Iron Age in the Margiana
Lowlands. After an exposition of the methods employed in the survey
of such a vast area (over 20,000 square km), chapters review
settlement patterns and cultural variability, and include reports
on unpublished stamp and cylinder seals, on recent excavations, and
on ceramic production and iron working.
A large number of the contributors to the Ravenna (1997) meeting of
the European Association of Archaeologists spoke about the
explosion of research interest and new discoveries on the island of
Sardinia. This book groups their papers together, providing a
useful snapshot of current work.
In this, the first of four volumes from the meeting, sixty-nine
authors from Europe and the USA debate under three headings: The
visibility of nomads and herders across the archaeological record';
The rise and decline of complex in Mediterranean Europe during the
Middle and Late Bronze Age' and Archaeology and ethnicity'.
The first edition of In the Shadow of the Ancestors (2007) was the
first and only summary of decades of archaeological research in the
Oman Peninsula. This second expanded had a long and winding journey
toward publication. The passing away of Serge Cleuziou not long
after the release of the first edition left Maurizio Tosi alone in
completing this challenging enterprise. For this reason, and out of
respect for his lifelong friend and colleague, he decided not to
intervene too extensively on the main contents, but to add instead
to the original eleven chapters a number of new ‘windows’
written by other scholars, in order to include more recent research
and interpretations. In addition to the main contents, the new
contributions by this younger generation of scholars, most of whom
were students and collaborators of Cleuziou and Tosi, offers great
testament to the legacy the authors leave behind them.
