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...

Archaeology & Anthropology -  Juniper Publishers Opinion Discussions on restitution have been acquiring momentum. Museum Week in 2018 has been marked in the press by a series of articles which support this direction. It started with an email from an Indian colleague who was at the ARCA conference last year where I was talking about the history of collecting of European museums and the gathering of antiquities during the late 18th and early 19th century. This is an argument about which I have been very passionate and that has been at the core of my research interests, teaching and public engagement, since my postgraduate days. On the Queen’s birthday, Anuraag Saxena had written a provocative and passionate article Your Majesty: Thou shalt not steal on the need to return Indian artefacts to India, calling for a ‘reverse [of] the colonial-era plunder, especially symbols of our culture - our heritage’. With the India Pride Project, Anuraag is an active prop...

Archaeology & Anthropology -  Juniper Publishers Introduction The archaeological excavations in the former Nazi-extermination camp of Sobibor in eastern Poland are made possible by a collaboration of four countries: Israel, Netherlands, Poland and Slovakia. Main goal of this joint project is the realization of a visitor centre and monument on the site. The still ongoing excavations, upscaled since 2011, are carried out in order to make construction works possible, and to reveal sensible traces, gain knowledge about the inner structure of the camp and to secure personal items. The excavations were carried out under supervision of Wojciech Mazurek MA (Sub Terra Archaeological Research, Chełm, Poland), Yoram Haimi (representative of Yad Vashem, Israel) and Ivar Schute (representative of the Dutch Ministry of Welfare, since 2013). Inner Structure of the Camp The former Nazi-extermination camp of Sobibor, in whic...

Archaeology & Anthropology -  Juniper Publishers Opinion Airbnb has made a leap from digital to analog. This leap has been made in prime time and in one of the most listened radio stations in Spain. However, what does a company like Airbnb investing in advertising in a traditional media when it presents always itself as one of the main stars of the new economy? Moreover, does not know Airbnb that cannot continue with their activities in the Catalan capital without worsening its relationship with the City Council, or maybe this campaign does not go aimed at attracting customers - “host” in the sharing economy newspeak- but at much more diffuse and less obvious objective? Let’s go step by step. The Airbnb’s radio spots gather all the stereotypes of the platform capitalism [1], that is, good vibes, cosmopolitanism, taste of the neighborhood, experience, local cuisine, love and respect for life in the city. The sequence is always the same: one or several m...

Tolerance is a very important value which they have maintained. In their language use, it appears to be an important discourse that has been valued by the people [ 1 ]. For example, in the poems of Sheikh Hussein Jibril, the following verses are found: Our country Ethiopia gets her hair done well, She wears perfume and good fragrance, Rome and Turkey smells her, with plane on the air and with tank on the ground, They have come and stayed fit, Hailesilasie is her right husband though, We have prayed; let the Trinity bless it.

Archaeology & Anthropology -  Juniper Publishers Abstract The purpose of this study is to provide a stimulating discussion on the relationship between post-colonization and tourism in Jamaica. The postcolonial theory is used to expand the epistemology of the relationship between post-colonization and tourism and provide plausible explanations concerning their association. This discussion paper also serves to advance the paradigms of cultural identity and the three presences by linking them to the concepts of nation culture and national identity and how these phenomena help to stimulate the development of tourism in Jamaica. Additionally, the concept of the tourist gaze is incorporated in the analysis to show how post-colonization serves the tourists from both site and event attraction experiences. This ostensibly benefits Jamaica socially, culturally and economically. In summary, the discussion paper analyzes the impact of post-colonization on tourism in J...

Archaeology & Anthropology -  Juniper Publishers Abstract The Research paper aims to focus on Nayantara Sahgal's position in it as a novelist. It also discusses in detail a critical study of the social realism and Psychological Transformation with survival strategies of the woman protagonist in Nayantara Sahgal's Storm in Chandigarh and A Situation in New Delhi. How Nayanara Sahgal's writing was different from other Indian writers. During almost six decades of post-colonial history of Indian English fiction, a wide variety of novelists have emerged focusing attention on a multitude of social, economic, political, religious and spiritual issues faced by three conceding periods of human experience. With the turn of the century the Indian English novelists have surpassed their male counterparts outnumbering hem quantitatively as well as maintaining a high standard of literary writing, equally applauded in India and abroad, experimenting boldly with no...
