Call for Papers: Money and Cult - The Role of the Temple in Ancient Economy

The Irish Society for the Study of the Ancient Near East

CALL FOR PAPERS

“Money and Cult”
The Role of the Temple in the Ancient Economy
23 - 25 May 2014
Dublin, Ireland

As major social and administrative institutions, often with substantial assets, temples played an important role within the economies of the Ancient Near East. Not only were resources diverted to them for building and cultic use, but many temples also played a role in the creation of wealth and the employment of various strata of society, from priests to scribes to slaves. Similarly, kings both patronised temples and used them as convenient sources of revenue. The interactions between religious needs and economic practicalities were complex and varied significantly over time and location. We therefore invite papers which examine the intertwined roles of cult and economy in the Ancient Near East.

Papers which explore a wide-range of economic aspects of temple cults or the cultic ramifications of economic realities are expected. Appropriate topics include building programmes, educational programmes, sacrificial economies, trade in cultic paraphernalia, systems of tithing and temple taxation, and the relationship of priests to royal administrations. We are also interested in the relationships between temples, such as the temples in Jerusalem, Elephantine, Leontopolis, and on Mount Gerizim (and elsewhere), and how much their interaction may have been aided or hindered by economic aspects.

Depending on received submissions, sessions will be structured in chronological order with the days divided as follows:

Friday, 23 May 2014: Early First Millennium (to the Neo-Babylonian Period)

Saturday, 24 May 2014: From the Persian to the Seleucid Era

Sunday, 25 May 2014: Roman Period (from the reign of Herod the Great to the end of the Bar Kokhba Rebellion)

We invite abstracts of no more than 500 words to reach us by email at hekhal.dublinia at gmail.com by 28 February 2014.

Please note, presentation of papers at this conference will be 40 minutes within a one-hour slot, allowing time for ample discussion after each paper.

Call for papers: The Crossroads II

“The Crossroads II, or There and Back Again” – Call for Papers
Prague, 15th – 17th September 2014

The main objective of the conference is to enhance our understanding of the historical processes and the development of rich and complex relations between Egypt and the aforementioned regions during the period defined by the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age and the turn of the Eras. In order to obtain a well-balanced insight, we would like the topic to be treated both from an archaeological and a philological point of view. We believe that bringing together archaeologists, philologists, as well as historians and other experts, is not merely highly desirable, but also a necessity for gaining a deeper insight into the historical, social, cultural and economic developments of the respective regions (the Levant and the Sudan) at this particular moment in time. The Aegean and Anatolia will be treated as further international players of that time. During the conference special interest will be given to the topic of technologies and mechanisms of communication between “centres” and “peripheries”. We hope that this discussion will not only provide a new view on, and understanding of, the problems themselves, but we also intend to focus on the character of the political and social organization of these regions and the impact Egypt and the other Great Powers had on their cultural development.

The Crossroads II Conference organising committee invites proposals for papers and posters relating to all aspects of the relations between the aforementioned regions. The official language of the conference will be English and each lecture should be 20 minutes long with an additional 10 minutes allowed for discussion. In order to assess your paper proposal you are expected to submit an extended abstract of your presentation (300–400 words) by February 1st, 2014. All proposals will be reviewed by the scientific committee and the authors will be notified of the results by March 1st, 2014. The deadline for submitting your paper to the proceedings is set for two months after the conference. The volume will be published in 2015.

We are looking forward to receive the proposal of your paper. Please submit your proposal by email to Crossroads.conference.2014 at gmail.com.

Gyorshír: Az elfeledett királyság

Ha valaki megbízható és szenzációmentes munkát akar olvasni az ókori Izrael bármely történeti aspektusáról, amely mentes a Bibliát történelemkönyvnek tartó módszertanilag erősen kifogásolható (ez most egy understatement volt) megközelítésektől, az I. Finkelstein műveit fogja keresni. Íme a legújabb, egy igazán hasznosnak tűnő munka:

Israel Finkelstein: The Forgotten Kingdom: The Archaeology and History of Northern Israel. Atlanta, sajtó alatt

A hátsó borító ajánlója:

"Although Israel was dominant for most of the time the kingdoms of Israel and Judah coexisted, it has remained in Judah’s shadow in both the Hebrew Bible and consequently in the attention of modern scholarship. This book presents the first comprehensive history of the northern kingdom and description of the archaeology of northern Israel from the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1350 B.C.E.) until the kingdom’s fall in 720 B.C.E. and beyond. It tells the story of the northern kingdom primarily in its formative phases. The narrative is based in archaeology and makes use of the most updated field research, with the addition of what is known from ancient Near Eastern and biblical texts. Finkelstein’s thirty years of fieldwork in the northern kingdom have paved the way for a new understanding of the history and archaeology of ancient Israel."

Hettita történeti földrajzi konferencia

A hettita földrajz nyárs a hettitológus húsában, egy régi latinista kifejezést parafrazeálva. Ez azt jelenti, hogy elképesztően kevés biztosat tudunk e kérdésben. Így nem csoda, hogy e kérdés folyamatos vita és kutatás tárgya, például jelenleg Lengyelországban e témakörben egy disszertáció íródik, Törökországban pedig az Isztambuli Egyetem egy kutatási projektet hozott létre, ez a "Hittite Historical Atlas" (amelynek volt egy honlapja is, de az már nem él). Ennek keretében kerül sor hamarost egy műhelyre, melynek programja a következő (ott sem minden egyetemnek erős oldala az események meghirdetése, a program csak egy régészeti magazin honlapján érhető el, de az Önök bloggere természetesen tud róla):

A PTE BTK Ókori Gazdaságtörténeti Kutatócsoportja  szerkesztésében már hozzáférhető az "Ókori gazdaságtörténet" elnevezésű portáljuk, amelyre folyamatosan töltik fel az anyagokat. Önjellemzésük szerint

"Weboldalunk fő témája a a legtágabb értelemben vett ókori gazdaságtörténet. Felfogásunk szerint ebbe a körbe tartozik a környezeti régészet, a történeti ökológia, a történeti földrajz, a történeti demográfia és a humán geográfia, vagyis csupa olyan szakterület, amelyek nálunk eddig nem igazán kerültek az ókorkutatás látóterébe. Célunk, hogy a felsorolt témák iránt érdeklődő szűkebb szakma és a szélesebb közönség (egyetemi hallgatók, középiskolai tanárok, a modern gazdaságtörténet kutatói) értesüljenek az ókori gazdaságtörténeti kutatások legfrissebb eredményeiről. Honlapunkon olyan cikkeket, bibliográfiákat, linkeket, forrásszövegeket, tananyagokat igyekszünk közzétenni, melyeket e témák magyarországi kutatói munkájuk során is hasznosítani tudnak."

A honlap az ókor egészét célozza meg, így az egyes szekciók mezopotámiai, egyiptomi, római, görög és bizánci részekre vannak felosztva. A honlap itt tekinthető meg.

Konferencia: Ókori történeti földrajz

Reméljük senki sem felejtette el, hogy pénteken ókori történeti földrajzi konferenciára kerül sor Pécsett. Sajnos a konferencia honlapja nincs frissítve, így az ottani előadó-lista már jócskán módosult; a szervezők még szeptember elején küldtek egy programot (ott már időpontok is vannak), de mivel már ez is módosult, ezért most csak azt listázom ki, ki az aki a tudomásom szerint ókori keletes vagy egyiptológiai előadást fog tartani (címmel, természetesen). A konferencia 09.45-kor fog kezdődni.

FRISSÍTÉS: a végleges program elérhetővé vált a honlapon
