Download or read book Ear studs ear plugs or beads written by Anna K. Hodgkinson and published by Nicanor Books. This book was released on 2021-07-31 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This short volume discusses a group of glass objects kept in the British Museum that date to the Egyptian New Kingdom (1550–1069 BC) and are commonly referred to as 'ear plugs' or 'ear studs'. Ancient Egyptian ear studs from variety of materials appear in the archaeological record and are usually depicted as worn with a convex dome to the front. However, there is evidence to suggest that the glass objects discussed in this volume, and which are similar, but not equal, in shape to ear studs, were not designed as ear jewelery, but that they actually functioned as beads. The objects are flat-fronted and pierced latitudinally. The piercing, which is related to the manufacture of the objects on a metal rod,would have enabled the objects to be threaded and to be suspended vertically, either as parts of garments or as parts of bead chains.

Hearst Expedition to Naga ed-Deir, Cemeteries N 2000 and N 2500 presents the results of excavations directed by George A. Reisner and led by Arthur C. Mace. The site of Naga ed-Deir, Egypt, is unusual for its continued use over a long period of time (c. 3500 BCE–650 CE). Burials in N 2000 and N 2500 date to the First Intermediate Period/Middle Kingdom and the Coptic era. In keeping with Reisner’s earlier publications of Naga ed-Deir, this volume presents artifacts in chapter-length studies devoted to a particular object type and includes a burial-by-burial description. The excavators’ original drawings, notes, and photographs are complemented by a contemporary analysis of the objects by experts in their subfields.

Download or read book The Early Bronze Age Village on Tsoungiza Hill written by Daniel J. Pullen and published by American School of Classical Studies at Athens. This book was released on 2011-12-31 with total page 1089 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While "corridor houses" such as the House of the Tiles at Lerna have provoked widespread discussion about the origins of social stratification in Greece, few settlements of the Early Bronze Age (ca. 3100 to 2000 B.C.) have been thoroughly excavated. This important study integrates the presentation and analysis of the archaeological evidence from a single settlement that flourished on Tsoungiza Hill in the Nemea Valley from the Final Neolithic until the end of the Early Helladic period. The first section details the stratigraphy, architecture, deposits, and ceramics of each of the five major periods represented. The second section contains specialist reports on all aspects of material culture including figurines and ornaments, textiles and crafts, metal analyses, chipped and ground stone, and faunal and palaeobotanical remains.

Download or read book The Maya Indians of Southern Yucatan and Northern British Honduras written by Thomas William Francis Gann and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-10-25 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "The Maya Indians of Southern Yucatan and Northern British Honduras", Thomas William Francis Gann explores the rich cultural heritage and lifestyle of the Maya Indians living in these regions during the early 20th century. Gann's detailed descriptions of the indigenous peoples, their traditions, and their daily lives provide readers with a unique insight into a community that was largely misunderstood and underrepresented at the time. The book is written in a scholarly tone with a focus on factual information, making it an important resource for anthropologists, historians, and anyone interested in the indigenous cultures of Central America. Gann's narrative style is both informative and engaging, offering readers a window into a world that is vastly different from their own. The inclusion of photographs and illustrations further enhances the reader's understanding of the Maya Indians' way of life. Thomas William Francis Gann's background as an anthropologist and historian undoubtedly influenced his decision to write about the Maya Indians of Southern Yucatan and Northern British Honduras. His expertise in the field shines through in the meticulous research and attention to detail present in the book, making it a valuable contribution to the study of indigenous cultures. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Maya Indians and their cultural traditions, as well as to those with a general interest in anthropology and Central American history.
