Sephardic Surnames Names of Arabic derivation, eg Abenatar, Abensur, also occur and can berelated to the iberian peninsula from where the Sephardics came. http://www.tc.umn.edu/~terre011/Surnames.html
Extractions: Published 1969 by Van Gorcum and Company, Assen, Netherlands Although this description of Sephardic Surnames was written with reference to Curacao, all of these name structures were also used by the Jewish community of Nevis. Many of the Jewish surnames are directly related to geographical locations and were acquired as a consequence of the forced wanderings caused by persecution or denied opportunities. By taking the name of a community or a region, a place of origin could always be traced no matter where in the world the Sephardic would find himself in later years. In addition, it possibly also created a sense of some security, a knowledge that one had a "home base", roots somewhere, even though it was of a psychological rather than an actual nature. Names of Arabic derivation, e.g. Abenatar, Abensur, also occur and can be related to the Iberian peninsula from where the Sephardics came. During the long Moorish occupation of Spain and Portugal, much of their high civilization became embedded in the Sephardic Jewish sphere as well. This fact should not surprise us since name borrowing occurs time and again in instances of prolonged culture contact between different peoples. Yet in other cases, we find that the Curacao Sephardim bear surnames of pure Hispano-Portuguese - and hence Christian - derivation -, e.g., Alvares, Castro, Gomes, Senior.

Extractions: Free online edition (eScholarship) available only to University of California faculty, staff, and students (List of public titles) DESCRIPTION (back to top) This is the first comparative study of Roman architecture on the Iberian peninsula, covering six centuries from the arrival of the Romans in the third century B.C. until the decline of urban life on the peninsula in the third century A.D. During this period, the peninsula became an influential cultural and political region in the Roman world. Iberia supplied writers, politicians, and emperors, a fact acknowledged by Romanists for centuries, though study of the peninsula itself has too often been brushed aside as insignificant and uninteresting. In this book William E. Mierse challenges such a view. By examining in depth the changing forms of temples and their placement within the urban fabric, Mierse shows that architecture on the peninsula displays great variation and unexpected connections. It was never a slavish imitation of an imported model but always a novel experiment. Sometimes the architectural forms are both new and unexpected; in some cases specific prototypes can be seen, but the Iberian form has been significantly altered to suit local needs. What at first may seem a repetition of forms upon closer investigation turns out to be theme and variation. Mierse brings to his quest an impressive learning, including knowledge of several modern and ancient languages and the archaeology of the Roman East, which allows him a unique perspective on the interaction between events and architecture.

Extractions: ISBN 07524-1403-8 hb Francis Pryor whisks the reader along with enthusiasm in the first major book on prehistoric farming in Britain since 1983. Anecdotal in style, it has much to do with the author's own experience with livestock and his clear wish to convey this to as many of the general archaeological readership as possible. In this respect it is something of a polemic. The stated aim is to discuss the millennium or so of `livestock farming that flourished during the Bronze Age' and the reader is swiftly and expertly guided through the transition from hunting to farming, through the notion of territory, to the world of symbolism and deliberate deposition. Based on the evidence from a number of excavations on the fen edge, the book uses the Etton causewayed enclosure, Welland Bank Quarry, and Flag Fen in particular, to chronicle farming practices from the Neolithic through to the early Iron Age. Most of the book is devoted to sheep farming. Pryor suggests that, unlike the loess-covered plains of central Europe, the climate and hilly landscape of Britain was more suited to stock control than agriculture. Cereals were certainly grown but it may have been in small quantities, perhaps in gardens, and more as an expression of the Neolithic way of life than for subsistence, but he misses a trick - or perhaps carefully avoids entering the debate on whether they were in fact grown for beer.

Extractions: ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison FEATURES A boy buried 24,000 years ago proves the two species did interbreed, writes Paul Pettitt The relationship between modern humans and Neanderthals has been the subject of vigorous debate for many years. Did the two species inter-breed? Did they come into contact at all, during the tens of thousands of years of their co-existence on Earth? (See BA March , and Letters , May.) In 1996, DNA from the original Neander valley Neanderthal remains was extracted and analysed. This work demonstrated that there were at least 500,000 years of evolutionary divergence between our own species and the c 40,000 year old Neanderthal in question, diminishing the likelihood that the two species intermixed. Now, however, direct evidence has come to light from Iberia, demonstrating unequivocally that contact took place and was probably quite extensive on the peninsula. The evidence was the discovery in November last year of an Early Upper Palaeolithic burial, over 24,000 years old, at the Abrigo do Lagar Velho in central western Portugal. The burial was of a young boy who was part Neanderthal, part modern human. His discovery has dramatically changed our perspective on Neanderthal extinction and the spread of our own species across Europe. The Ebro river, which runs NW-SE across the neck of the Iberian peninsula, has recently come to be seen by some researchers as a major environmental boundary in the Upper Pleistocene.

Extractions: LaVerne, California The Lost Sons of Afghanistan - the ousted souls of war who kept a dream alive from far corners, are uncovering their paperwork, packing their bags, and heading home to do for their country or their cause what they have been working for over twenty three years - to save, restore and return Afghanistan's plundered antiquities back to the country. What was not blown to bits from twenty years of war, exists in the dark cellars and long hallways of other countries' private mansions and museums. The museum of Kabul is now a cracked skull in a dusty desert - all its years of knowledge perhaps lost forever, no redemption. In order to delve into the deeply secretive world of the underground Afghan antiquities trade, Notes from the Road has concocted a fictional art buyer. Isabella De Lasantos - curator of a private museum in Manila - feisty, with an unlimited budget, and a cunning for dealmaking.

Extractions: Centre d'Arqueologia Subaquàtica de Catalunya Part of the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia, Spain Throughout history the Mediterranean has been the great nexus of union between the nations that made up its shores. For it was the principal means of communication between peoples and cultures, a natural highway which allowed for the exchange of ideas and products. At the same time the rivers, lakes and marshlands served as routes for penetrating into the hinterlands and their banks became the ideal sites for human settlement. This continuous use of the waters has meant the leaving behind of innumerable mementoes of human activity, in the form of sunken ships, port constructions, the inventiveness employed in harnessing its natural resources, or simply lost and abandoned objects. Man has always attempted to recover objects which have fallen to the sea bed, to recover something considered to be of value. In order to achieve this end he has, over the ages, invented and perfected machines, apparatus, and techniques which have made the work both easier and safer. An antique object, however, is much more than something with a merely economic value. Ingots on the Presido site (L'Estartit) Over recent decades technical and methodological advances have allowed access to subaquatic archaeological remains, an their exploitation as a source of historical information. However, at the same time, the extension of human pressure along the coasts, and on the bottom of the sea, has accelerated the process of destruction of this enormously fragile heritage. In order to counteract this problem, in 1992, the Generalitat (Autonomous Government) of Catalonia, created the Subaquatic Archaeological Centre of Catalonia, the CASC (Centre d'Arqueologia Subaquàtica de Catalunya) charging it with the following missions: the inventory, protection, conservation, study and spreading of the archaeological heritage of Catalonia which is found submerged under coastal and inland waters.
