1	Historical methodology of Ancient Israel and the archive as historical a priori in the discourses of the Lachish reliefs Kellner, Ronel 11 1900 (has links) The archive as a site of ‘knowledge retrieval’* has long been the exemplary domain of astute historical inquiry. Following the recent ‘historic turn’* to address the politics of knowledge in the broader human and historical sciences, rather than its function as a site of ‘knowledge retrieval’, I will reflect on the function of the archive as a site of ‘knowledge production’ in the writing of the histories of ancient Israel. Aligned within the conversations among historians and archivists and the new archival turn, the research will endeavour to offer a contribution to the debate on the topic of historical methodology of ancient Israel in the disciplines of Biblical Archaeology and History of ancient Israel. I will argue that an examination into the function of the archive as historical a priori in a study of the discourses on the Lachish reliefs in the disciplines discloses the practical and theoretical tenets that converge to construct knowledge on the Lachish reliefs and hence also knowledge on ancient Israel. The research will contend that a bounded formation of knowledge on the Lachish reliefs has evolved in the disciplines since the nineteenth century that is along the British imperial archival grain. * Terminology from Stoler, A L 2002.

2	Weapons, warfare and skeleton injuries during the Iron Age in the Ancient Near East Pretorius, Johan 06 1900 (has links) Due to the nature of war, persons are killed with various types of weapons. Throughout the history of humanity, weapons were used in this regard and these weapons left injuries on the victims that are distinguishable. The type of force conveyed by the ancient weapons effected injuries that enable modern-day bioarchaeologists to extrapolate which weapons caused which injuries. The Assyrians depicted their wars and battles on reliefs. An analysis of these depictions, with an extrapolation of the lesions expected in skeletal remains, could contribute to better understanding of the strategies of war in ancient times. This dissertation will discuss how the evaluation of human remains in comparison to Assyrian reliefs may contribute to the chronological knowledge of war and warfare in the Iron Age Ancient Near East – especially at Lachish. A discourse of the approaches available to researchers regarding access to data in the forensic bioarchaeological field will be presented. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / M.A. (Biblical Archaeology) Ancient Near East Assyrian reliefs Bioarchaeology Blunt force trauma Chronology Forensic anthropology Human remains Iron Age Lachish Lachish reliefs Radiocarbon dating Sharp force trauma Skeletal remains War Warfare Weaponry Wound patterns 220.930956 War -- Biblical teaching Iron age -- Middle East Weapons, Ancient -- Middle East Assyrians -- Middle East Blunt trauma -- Middle East Forensic archaeology -- Middle East Radiocarbon dating -- Middle East Iron age -- Israel -- Lachish Weapons, Ancient -- Israel -- Lachish Warfare, Prehistoric -- Middle East Assyrians -- Israel -- Lachish Blunt trauma -- Israel -- Lachish Radiocarbon dating -- Israel -- Lachish
