Joakim Goldhahn argues that birds had a central role in Bronze Age society and imagination, as reflected in legends, myths, rituals, and cosmologies. Goldhahn offers a new theoretical model for understanding the intricate relationship between humans and birds during this period. He explores traces of birds found in a range of archaeological context, including settlements and burials, and analyzes depictions of birds on bronze artefacts and figurines, rock art, and ritual paraphernalia. He demonstrates how birds were used in divinations, and provides the oldest evidence of omens taken from gastric contents of birds - extispicy - ever found in Europe.
![Anatolia and the Bronze Age The History of the Earliest Kingdoms and Cities that Dominated the Region [Audiobook]](https://i123.fastpic.org/big/2024/0205/d9/d2c2450f964ada3b9282550c76f0a1d9.jpeg) Free Download Anatolia and the Bronze Age: The History of the Earliest Kingdoms and Cities that Dominated the Region (Audiobook) English | ISBN: 9798868717413 | 2023 | 5 hours and 36 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 310 MB Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Victoria Woodson While the Bronze Age is recognized as one of history's most important phases, it's been hard for historians to precisely date. The idea of the Bronze Age comes from a three-age system developed in the 19th century through which archaeologists and historians believe cultures evolve. These three ages are the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age, and the concept of the system stems from the simultaneous development of museums in Europe during that time. In the Royal Museum of Nordic Antiquities in Denmark, Christian Jürgensen Thomsen, the director of the museum, began classifying objects of stone, bronze, or iron to better categorize and exhibit them. Each archaeological artifact was thus sorted according to their materials and further organized by shape and style. Through such methodology, working alongside archaeological reports, he was able to show how certain objects changed over time.

These intersocietal lines of communication and paths for commerce relied on rigorous open-water travel. And, as a potential superhighway, the Mediterranean demanded much in the way of seafaring knowledge and innovative ship design if it were to be successfully navigated.

This publication presents the results of the recent excavations in the eastern plateau (2008-2014) and guides the reader through important data on the life of prehistoric communities in the Central Balkans and the Morava Region during the Eneolithic and the Bronze Age. The well-known 'Bubanj-Hum Group' of the central Balkans is embedded in a broad cultural horizon, which is discussed in this volume in many aspects. Interdisciplinary analyses and interpretations complement the image of everyday life in the region between the mid-5th and the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC.

 Free Download Sean Hemingway, "The Horse and Jockey from Artemision: A Bronze Equestrian Monument from the Hellenistic Period" English | 2004 | pages: 249 | ISBN: 0520233085 | PDF | 5,8 mb Anyone who visits the National Archaeological Museum in Athens will vividly recall its centrepiece, the Horse and Jockey bronzes that were recovered in pieces from the sea off Artemision in 1928 and 1936. Bronze sculptures were popular throughout the Hellenistic world, the most famous being the Colossus of Rhodes, but very few survive today and the majority of those that do come from shipwrecks. The Horse and Jockey is one of the best to survive and forms the focus of this well-illustrated and informative study. Combining `a technical, stylistic, and iconographic examination of the bronzes with a careful assessment of the archaeological, epigraphic, literary, and iconographic evidence for horse racing', the volume discusses the rescue of the bronzes off northern Euboia, their initial condition and restoration before describing and analysing each part of the horse and its young jockey in turn. Hemingway considers the construction of the sculpture in detail, making comparison with similar examples, and assesses attempts by scholars during the last seventy years to date the bronzes and identify their purpose. Art historians have suggested that the bronzes depict a hunting or battle scene but Hemingway sides with those who interpret it as a representation of horse racing, `the most prestigious and splendid of all Greek sports'. The book concludes with Helen Andreopolou-Mangou's chemical analysis and metallographic examination of the bronzes.  Free Download Brian Delf, "Bronze Age War Chariots" English | 2006 | pages: 51 | ISBN: 1841769444 | PDF | 14,2 mb Chariots, the first mobile fighting vehicle, seem to have originated in Mesopotamia in the third millennium BC. The highly mobile two-wheeled war chariot, carrying a driver and an archer armed with a short composite bow, revolutionized military tactics after 1700 BC. This expensive weapon spread throughout the Middle East and is thought to have reached Egypt with the conquering Hyksos. It spread into Asia Minor, Greece, and was known in Northern Europe by 1500 BC. This book covers the evolution of the war chariot throughout the Bronze Age, detailing its design, development and combat history - in particular its fundamental involvement at the battle of Qadesh.
