  Archaeology & Anthropology-Juniper Publishers Abstract The rural area from the municipality of Piripiri, in the state of Piauí, Northeastern Brazil, is known to contain several archaeological sites, which are essentially sandstone shelters and walls decorated with rupestrian paintings and engravings.

Metal Weapons of “Warrior’ Burials” Found in the Middle Bronze Age II Southern Levant – Economical and Social Aspects-Juniper Publishers

Image
Archaeology & Anthropology- Juniper Publishers Case Report and Results More than 1000 copper-based weapons associated with the Middle Bronze Age II (MB II; ca. 1950–1550 BCE) culture have been recovered, primarily in burials, throughout the Levant (Figure 1); [1-7]. These, funerary contexts have generally been referred to as “warrior burials”, and contained individuals buried with a presumed “kit”, comprising weapons, such as daggers, axes and spearheads found on the deceased’s waist and/or next to their head (Figure 2). The “warrior burials” are dated mainly to the first half of the MBII period (MB IIA; 1950–1750 BCE) and decline in occurrence in the Middle Bronze IIB (MB IIB; 1750–1550 BCE) [6-8]. Recently, it has been shown [6,7] that less than 25% of all the MB IIA burials can be defined as “warrior burials”, and they should rather be considered to reflect high-ranking members of the contemporary society, i.e., an elite social class . The weapons in the MB IIA “warrior’ burials...

The textile industry changed in the 17th century from one which depended on the domestic “cottage industry” for supplies to one which became reliant on mass-production and a cosmopolitan trade network in which North America became a consumer [2]. The rise of the warehouseman and the factory meant that the small markets and halls used when goods were produced in homes by families were abandoned for inns and warehouses [3]. The introduction of the New Draperies, which were manufactured with different looms, used worsted yarns, which produced finer fabric, with a higher thread count [4...
