These include the so-called Sauromatian culture, the Filippovka horizon and the Early Sarmatian Prokhorovka Culture. The main focus is on the archaeological data, including burials and the accom- panying material culture
Where have all the Shabtis gone? The Effects of Petrie's Project Funding for Research in the 21st Century
No full textThe Ramesside Period nowadays appears to be one of the focal points of research not just for Edgar Pusch whom we pay our tribute with this volume, but for the whole field of Egyptology. But this intense interestin Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age Egypt has not prevailed throughout the history of the discipline. As this article will show the situation at the beginning of the 20th century was different. Aesthetic perceptions towards Ramesside objects and the idea of a cultural decline, which already was set to begin at the onset of the 19th Dynasty can be traced in the fieldwork as well as in the publications of William Matthew Flinders Petrie and – closely related to that – in the collections of museums that received objects from the excavations of the founding father of Egyptian archaeology. This results in repercussions for today’s research and influences the re-evaluation of old projects and new attempts to interpret the data of such excavations in detail. As a case study serves the
1920/21 excavation of the necropolis of Heracleopolis Magna at Sedment conducted by Petrie and Guy Brunton under the auspices of the British School of Archaeology in Egypt

The Quarries of Meroe, Sudan : Part 1 - Text
No full textAbout Part 1A team of international researchers present their research on all aspects of quarrying: history, geology, quarrying technique, graffiti in quarries, Meroitic and Greek inscriptions in quarries, as well as the petrography of Nubian sandstone. A final chapter deals with the challenges of surveying quarries in the desert. All articles have extensive Arabic summaries.MapA map in A0 format of the wider study area, with individual quarry locations marked. PDF - 25 MB.VideoThis two-part set is accompanied by five short educational and illustrative slideshows in English and Arabic about the authors’ work on the sandstone quarries around Meroe. The highlight is a 5-minute aerial and underground ‘fly-through’ video presenting quarry Q41, the largest and most impressive of the gallery quarries in the study area, available in 2D or 3D.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
