This is the first of the final reports on the excavations conducted by Israel’s Department of Antiquities and Museums, the Greek Orthodox Church, Notre Dame University, Averett College and Southwest Missouri State University at the site owned by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. The first five seasons have yielded not only much ceramic and numismatic material, but also a rather satisfactory stratigraphic sequence, providing a continuity of some 400 years, from the early 7th century to the early 11th century A.D. The findings are illustrated by eight full-color plates and 14 foldout plans.These findings are of special importance for their contributions to Late Byzantine and Early Arab pottery, and Umayyad gold coins and for the new light they shed on literary evidence pertaining to Capernaum.

Excavations 1 Joshua Abrams - LP 752830265417

Donyatt, in Somerset, has been the site of continuous pottery production from the 13th century. Its products had a wide distribution, throughout the west country, to London and beyond. This comprehensive account of the Donyatt industry includes a thorough study of the pots and their changing styles and decoration, the development of their kilns, the lives and working conditions of the potters, and their migrations to and from other potteries. It is based on the author's extensive excavations and on study of rich documentary sources, and combines two sorts of information rarely so adequately available for any site or industry.

Drawn in a slashing pen-and-ink style with raw crosshatching and heavy blacks, the author’s visual approach adds to the intense, claustrophobic feel of the graphic novel, while its surreal verisimilitude recalls cult films like Eraserhead and The Forbidden Zone.

Situated roughly midway between the great cities of the Indus Valley and those of the Mesopotamian plains, Tepe Yahya occupies a special place in our conceptions of relations between these distant territories during the early Bronze Age. Its third-millennium levels, dating from 3000 to 2100 B.C., are particularly important. In this definitive study, D.T. Potts describes the stratigraphy, architecture, ceramics, and chronology of the site and presents a full inventory of the small finds. Holly Pittman contributes comprehensive illustrations and a discussion of the seals and sealings, and Philip Kohl provides an analysis of the carved chlorite industry. In a foreword and afterword, project director C.C. Lamberg-Karlovsky tells the story of the archaeological expedition and reflects on the contributions of the Tepe Yahya project.

Since the first scientific excavations were conducted at Jenné-jeno in 1977, this huge Iron Age occupation mound located in the floodplain of the Inland Niger Delta has produced a classic archaeological sequence spanning 1500 years. Jenné-jeno is widely recognized as one of the most carefully documented cases demonstrating the rise of indigenous urbanism in Africa, and its archaeology has contributed significantly to a major paradigm shift in explanations for the rise of complex societies in sub-Saharan Africa. This monograph presents the results of the excavations conducted in 1980-81 at this site and at two others within the extensive mound complex of which Jenné-jeno is a part.

In 1988 and 1989 large areas in the centre of Worcester were excavated, in advance of the construction of a shopping centre, providing a unique opportunity to examine the development of the city. Although little prehistoric evidence was recovered, the project identified the remains of a Roman small town, with most intense occupation between the 2nd and 4th century. The evidence indicated that ironworking and livestock were two staples of the town's economy. Medieval discoveries included Anglo-Saxon defences, evidence of Anglo-Norman lime-burning and metalworking, and the first complete plan of an 11th- or 12th-century stone hall uncovered in Worcester. A later medieval bronze foundry was also recorded. This substantial and well-presented report publishes descriptions of the archaeological remains, with a full chronological synthesis, and numerous specialist finds reports on pottery, building materials, ironworking residues, metalwork, jewellery, glass, coins, inscriptions, worked stone, bone and antler tools, human skeletal remains and other environmental remains. Many of the features and finds are illustrated.

38AK172 is known as the Hitchcock Woods Pottery. It is located in Aiken, SC and was the site of an alkaline glazed stoneware pottery kiln. In 2015 preliminary excavations were aimed at determining whether the kiln was intact. We were successful in finding an intact kiln floor and waster pile. Artifacts, including partially reconstructed vessels from private collections, were examined and many are illustrated.This is a preliminary report on on-going work.

Thirteen papers prepared for specialist sessions at the ASCE International Convention and Exposition, September 1992, New York City. Three major subject areas are covered: environmental, legal, and contractual issues; case histories showing the effects of excavation on adjacent facilities and solutions for their support and maintenance; and design and construction considerations cut-and-cover excavation systems, tunneling, urban blasting, and grouting technologies.

Excavation is traditionally considered the heart of the archaeological enterprise. But it is an activity transformed over the past two decades of increasingly contract-based work. Carmichael and Lafferty lay out the basics of this brand of excavation for the novice reader in this handy, practical guide. After outlining the ethical concerns in archaeological excavation and the history of the endeavor, the authors walk the reader through the steps of contemporary excavation―site identification, remote sensing, test excavation, and various scales of recovery. They also deal with the complex issues of human burials uncovered in excavation. Written in an accessible, practical way, Carmichael and Lafferty's guide will be useful to students, field school attendees, and other novice fieldworkers.
