Andrea Sinclair deposited ‘The International Style, Colour and Polychrome Faience’. in the group

Caitlin Chaves Yates deposited Tell Mozan’s Outer City in the Third Millennium BCE in the group
Near Eastern Archaeology on Humanities Commons 1 year, 1 month ago
During the third millennium B.C.E., Tell Mozan, ancient Urkesh, expanded to include an extensive outer city. A variety of investigations in the outer city reveal a complex urban environment: a mix of planned and unplanned activity with the environment and large municipal works acting as constraining factors on more localized activity.
Tatjana P. Beuthe deposited The Two Brothers: A Re-evaluation of Their Kinship in the group
Near Eastern Archaeology on Humanities Commons 1 year, 1 month ago
The relationship between the ‘Two Brothers’ Nakhtankh and Khnumnakht has been heavily debated since the discovery of their mummies in 1907. Re-examining the coffin inscriptions of these two individuals reveals that Nakhtankh and Khnumnakht were likely uncle and nephew.
Tatjana P. Beuthe deposited On the validity of sexing data from early excavations: examples from Qau in the group
Near Eastern Archaeology on Humanities Commons 1 year, 1 month ago
A brief technical re-examination of a paper by George Mann on the Qau skeletons in the Duckworth collection is undertaken. Taking into account the original data and technical aspects of skeletal sexing, it is shown that old data on skeletal sexing may not always be as unreliable as previously thought. Factors that may introduce errors into this…[Read more]
