Through a case study of the Classic period (A.D. 350–900) kingdom of Piedras Negras, this paper addresses a number of debates in the archaeology of war among the ancient Maya. These findings have broader comparative use in ongoing attempts to understand war in the precolonial Americas, including the frequency of war, its role in processes of polity formation and collapse, the involvement of non-elites in combat, and the cause and effect of captive-taking. This paper provides the first synthesis of ...

Abstract The article summarizes the state of the art in chronology of the late Middle Kingdom, which the author takes to also encompass the so-called Second Intermediate Period. Moving from the king-list of the Turin Royal Canon and from Kim Ryholt's investigation, the study focuses on the internal chronology of Dynasties 13–17 by drawing upon historical data from commemorative inscriptions and seals, with a strong attention to sources from Dynasties 13 and 16. Dynasty 13 is to be divided into two ...

After reviewing current perspectives on the function and chronology of British oppida, new insights are provided through the statistical analysis of assemblages of brooches and imported ceramics at a broad sample of sites. Analysis of material culture reveals distinct similarities and differences between several groups of sites, often ...

Biblical chronology makes it certain that Jehu's coup d'6tat took place in 841 B.C., the very year he paid tribute to Shalmaneser III, according to that king's records. These events coincided with the Assyrian army's invasion of the Kingdom of Damascus and its subsequent march from Hauran to Mt. Carmel across the territory of Israel. The reference of Hosea 10:14 to the cruel destruction of Beth-Arbel (Irbid in Transjordan) by Shalman shows that there was an initial Israelite resistance to Shalmaneser ...

Chronology is the backbone of any serious engagement with the past. The rest is history. In 1899, on the eve of the twentieth century C.E., Middle Kingdom chronology was re-established on a Sothic base (Borchardt 1899: 99-103). By 1999, a century later, on the eve of the third millennium c.e., evidence had become available that made principles of Sothic chronology also relevant to dating the Old Kingdom and therefore the third millennium b.c.e. in general. This paper describes how.1 This paper is ...
