81	A demographic analysis of Late Bronze Age Canaan : ancient population estimates and insights through archaeology Kennedy, Titus Michael January 2013 (has links) This thesis is a demographic analysis of Late Bronze Age Canaan (ca. 1550/1500-1200/1150 BCE), undertaken through the use of archaeological and anthropological data. The purpose is to establish estimates for the settlement population, nomadic population, nuclear family size, house size, sex ratio, and life expectancy of the people of Canaan during the Late Bronze Age. Previous studies have not addressed these issues in detail, nor had data from the entire scope of Canaan been considered, nor had a precise methodology been developed or used for estimating specific settlement populations and nomadic populations for Canaan during the Late Bronze Age. Thus, additional aspects of the thesis include the development and use of a new methodology for estimating ancient populations and a database of all of the Late Bronze Age sites in Canaan—both archaeological and textual. To accomplish these goals, the thesis uses archaeological data from excavations and surveys, texts from the Late Bronze Age, human skeletal remains from Late Bronze Age burials, demographic and ethnographic studies of various types of nomads, and methods, techniques, and observations from previous relevant studies. The primary objectives are to 1) obtain individual settlement, nomadic, and total population estimates for Canaan in the Late Bronze Age that are as accurate as possible based on the currently available data, along with additional demographic estimates of life expectancy and sex ratio, 2) propose a new methodology for estimating settlement populations in the ancient world, 3) present a catalogue and map of all of the sites in Canaan that were inhabited during the Late Bronze Age, 4) illuminate demographic trends during the Late Bronze Age in Canaan. The implications of the results may lead to a modified demographic view of Canaan and its sub-regions during the Late Bronze Age. / Old Testament & Ancient Near Eastern Studies / D. Litt. et Phil.

82	Recherches sur l'architecture en Palestine au Bronze ancien Sebag, Deborah 17 March 2011 (has links) (PDF) L'étude de l'architecture à travers ses composantes domestique et monumentale permet d'appréhender directement le fonctionnement de la société qui l'a produite, car les conditions sociales ont une influence aussi déterminante dans l'histoire de l'architecture que les aspects plus techniques, comme la disponibilité des matériaux de construction et l'évolution des connaissances techniques. Au Levant sud, cette situation s'observe d'autant mieux au 3ème millénaire avant notre ère, car l'époque marque la première urbanisation de la région. Cette dernière est caractérisée par l'apparition de nouvelles formes architecturales et de nouvelles techniques de construction. Les changements architecturaux les plus importants apparaissent lors de la construction des fortifications et des palais au Bronze ancien II et III. Les différences d'architecture impliquent l'action de constructeurs différents. Dans le cas des maisons du Bronze ancien, les différences de qualité de construction indiquent que les maisons devaient être réalisées par des particuliers, à l'inverse, la construction des palais et des fortifications implique l'intervention de véritables architectes - les premiers - travaillant sur l'ordre de commanditaires ou d'élites.

83	Minoan trade: aspects and ambiguities Kieser, Deanne 31 March 2005 (has links) The following dissertation considers the main aspects of trade during each phase of Minoan development from its beginnings in Early Minoan times (3500 BC) until the end of Minoan period in 1430 BC. The work concentrates largely on the commodities exchanged, the development of transportation and perceived trade routes as well as the role of the palaces once they were established. The theories on the Minoan Thalassocracy and colonisation are also discussed. The evidence used is mainly archaeological, which is able to trace the movement of non-perishable materials such as pottery and metals. Reference is also made to contemporary Near Eastern texts and art, as well as the Minoan Linear A and Mycenaean Linear B documents. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / M.A. (Ancient History) Aegean Bronze Age Minoan Crete Cyclades Cyprus Egypt Greece Hagia Triada Keftiu Knossos Levant Linear A Linear B Mediterranean Mallia Neopalatial Palace administration Phaistos Prepalatial Protopalatial Thalassocracy Trade Uluburun Zakros 939.18 Bronze age -- Egypt Bronze age -- Greece -- Crete Minoans -- Greece -- Crete Civilization, Aegean Knossos (Extinct city) Crete (Greece) -- Antiquities
