'The first part by Klaas Veenhof 'The Old Assyrian Period' is a critical overview of our knowledge of and at the same time an introduction to the study of the Old Assyrian Period (first two centuries of the 2nd mill. B.C.), as we know it from discoveries in ancient Assur and in particular from the cuneiform archives of the Old Assyrian traders living in an commercial colony (called karum) in the lower town of ancient Kanesh (modern K?ltepe) in Central Anatolia. The first chapters establish what 'Old Assyrian' is and analyze the chronology and the available sources (material and written). There follows a critical sketch of the publications of and research on the Old Assyrian sources, subdivided in a dozen thematic studies. After a sketch of Old Assyrian history, follows an overview of 'the Old Anatolian scene', which deals with the cities, local rulers and the about 40 Old Assyrian commercial settlements in Northern Mesopotamia and Anatolia. A special chapter analyzes the important Old Assyrian commercial treaties. The contribution ends with a detailed presentation of the Anatolian titles and officials and the religious festivals and agricultural seasons that figure as terms of payments in Anatolian debt-notes. The second part by Jesper Eidem 'Apum: A Kingdom on the Old Assyrian Route' summarises recent evidence for the history of northern Syria during the period contemporary with the late phase of the Old Assyrian trade. To the detailed study of the sources an Appendix of important texts is added. The book is fully indexed (subjects, texts, geographical names, kings and rulers, gods and temples, persons, Assyrian words) and contains a extensive bibliography.' (Publisher's blurb).

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Written artefacts are traditionally studied because of their content. Material aspects of these artefacts enrich the study of ancient history in many ways. Eleven case studies in five sections on the ancient world, including the Near East, Egypt, the Mediterranean, China and India, demonstrate the impact of a holistic approach that considers materiality and content alike.Following an introductory sketch of relevant research, the first section, 'Methodological Considerations', critically examines the limitations the evidence available imposes on our understanding. 'Early Uses of Writing' addresses material and spatial aspects of inscriptions, and their communicative functions over the textual ones. The third section, 'Material Features', deals with clay, wooden and papyrus manuscripts and demonstrates the importance of an integrated approach. The contributions to 'Co-presence of Written Artefacts' take into account that written artefacts come in clusters. The final section, 'Cultural Encounters', presents studies on the interactions between social strata and ethnic groups, challenging previous ideas.The volume contributes to the comparative study of written artefacts in ancient history, stimulating cross-disciplinary and -cultural research.
