The Society was founded in 1842, preceded only by such distinguished organizations of general scope as the American Philosophical Society (1743), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1780), and the American Antiquarian Society (1812). From the beginning its aims have been humanistic. The encouragement of basic research in the languages and literatures of Asia has always been central in its tradition. This tradition has come to include such subjects as philology, literary criticism, textual criticism, paleography, epigraphy, linguistics, biography, archaeology, and the history of the intellectual and imaginative aspects of Oriental civilizations, especially of philosophy, religion, folklore and art. American Oriental Society - News Pages American Schools of Oriental Research
The American Schools of Oriental Research's U.S. based coordination center, its publications program and its affiliated overseas centers in the Middle East have been in the forefront of American research efforts and publications related to these efforts since 1900. The main object of Schools is to enable properly qualified persons to pursue biblical, linguistic, archaeological, historical, and other kindred studies and researches under more favorable conditions than can be secured at a distance from the Holy Land.

Archaeology and Language : The Puzzle of Indo-European Origins > Customer Review #2: provocative but unconvincing

renfrews book appears to try to prove that there were no mass migrations into europe that carried the indo-european languages into this continent, and it appears that he is altogether uncomfortable with the idea of mass migrations altogether. well, the migrations of celts and germans were facts that were recorded by greek and roman observers, and they were movements of whole populations, not just fighting men, so if you find it uncomfortable to admit that mass migrations took place, too bad. better documented and more recent examples are the movements of slavs and turks during the last two millennia. so migrations are facts. the second fact that renfrew appears to overlook is that the indo-european languages are too similar to one another to have differentiated at the time when farming spread from anatolia to europe.

The Archaeology of Turkey
Barry W. Baker
Fulbright-Hayes Professional Development Seminar in Turkey
Web Project Introduction The archaeology of Turkey is spectacular, reflecting cultures from the Paleolithic period through the Ottoman Empire. Excavations and research have been conducted by scholars from throughout the world. Turkey is especially well known for its Roman cities and statuary. Many examples of historic Islamic material culture and architecture exist throughout the country. Wonderful Anatolian artifacts can be viewed in The Anatolian Civilizations Museum, The Izmir Archaeological Museum, and the Istanbul Archaeological Museum. Archaeological sites easily accessible to tourists in western Turkey include Ephesus, Troy, Aphrodesias, Pergamon, Hierapolis (Pamukkale region) and examples of early Christian churches in the Cappadocia region. Excavations continue at many of these sites today. Listed below are brief descriptions of the major archaeological divisions of Turkey (periods, dates and edited text from http://home.vicnet.net.au/~focus/civi_mn1.htm). For additional information, see the bibliography and additional web links below. Archaeological Periods of Turkey Neolithic Age (9000-5000 B.C.): Two of the most well known and earliest settlements during this period are Hacilar and Catalhoyuk (7000-6000 BC), near the city of Konya in Central Anatolia. The people of these two settlements lived in sun-dried brick houses with colorful drawings on the interior walls representing their environments and livestock.

Frederick N. Bohrer
Orientalism and Visual Culture: Imagining Mesopotamia in Nineteenth-Century Europe
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003 Reviewed By Magnus T. Bernhardsson During the spring of 2003, Iraq’s antiquities, museums, and libraries became part of the war’s battleground and in many cases became “collateral damage.” This catastrophic and unprecedented destruction of Iraqi cultural heritage, though not nearly as devastating as originally feared, was symbolic and indicative of the challenges facing Iraq’s political future. Yet this was not the first time that Iraqi antiquities became war trophy though certainly the degree and context was unprecedented. Archaeological artifacts have borne the brunt of other battles as well. In this theoretically dense and interesting book, Frederick N. Bohrer describes how in the 19 th century, Iraq, or Mesopotamia as it was then known, was a “sort of a archaeological battleground” (p. 313) amongst the various European powers who actively competed to acquire more artifacts. Though the actual “battle” on ground in the Middle East gets some attention, Bohrer’s principal interest is what happens when the objects were transported to Europe. By and large, therefore, this is not your typical book in Middle Eastern studies. This is essentially a complex study of European reception, interpretation, and circulation. Bohrer demonstrates that the European reception of Mesopotamian art was varied and multifaceted both from country to country but also within a given country. Reception and interpretation, Bohrer suggests, is a “culturally grounded experience,” and as his concluding sentence reminds us “ far from a monolithic locale, the unitary “West” may be as fictive, as much a dream, as the exotic “East” of its own presumptions.” (p. 313).

Your browser does not support javascript The Great DNA Hunt Volume 49 Number 5, September/October 1996 by Tabitha M. Powledge and Mark Rose Genetic archaeology zooms in on the origins of modern humans. (Illustration by Carlyn Iverson) [LARGER IMAGE] DNA can be used to understand the evolution of modern humans, trace migrations of people, identify individuals, and determine the origins of domestic plants and animals. DNA analysis, as one scholar put it, is "the greatest archaeological excavation of all time." Because ancient DNA molecules are normally so few and fragmented, and preserved soft tissues so rare, scientists had little hope of finding and analyzing it. But two breakthroughs have made this possible: the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a method for copying any fragment of DNA, and the successful recovery of DNA from preserved hard tissues, bones and teeth, that are durable and relatively abundant. DNA analysis traced human ancestry back to an African "Eve," setting off debate about how modern humans evolved. While there was general agreement that Homo erectus dispersed from Africa across Asia between 1 and 2 million years ago, what happened next remained a question. The "out-of-Africa" hypothesis contended that modern humans developed in Africa and migrated from there recently, driving

When London became a European capital
By 1300, the character of England's principal city was established, writes John Schofield A recent upward revision of the size of London's population around 1300 to 80,000 or more has fundamentally changed our understanding of the size and importance of the medieval city within England and in Europe. The city had grown from its rebirth under King Alfred in the late 9th century. Archaeologists are beginning to fill in the details of the picture of its development, especially from the early 11th century when several designated waterfront docking places were laid out near the markets. From the opening of the 12th century (if not before) stone houses, prominent public buildings and a new cathedral were built. London bridge was rebuilt in 1176-1209 and Guildhall was probably established during the 12th century. Historians at the Centre for Metropolitan History at the University of London have recently shown that by 1300, also, London began to dominate the agricultural practices of a large and growing hinterland as a result of its demand for basic foodstuffs and fuel. The intramural city grew by as much as one sixth at the expense of the river, through a process of reclamation, between about 1100 and about 1450. This process has been recorded on many sites since the 1970s. A succession of wooden revetments has been found, surviving up to 2m high, and dated by dendrochronology to the period 1140-1480. The joints are comparable to other examples of medieval carpentry, and so detailed is the evidence that it allows us to reconstruct much of the history of timber framing in this period.
