Urartians recorded the volumes of jugs, jars and storerooms, using a variety of symbols and words. In this book, mathematical and statistical models, both geometric and digital, are examined for evaluating the ratio of the different measures of volume to each other and for finding absolute values for these measures. The presence of full mathematical calculations allows for controls to be made and removes the faith element from this branch of Urartian studies. In doing so, it also provides quantitative techniques that can be used in related archaeological ventures.

A panel of authors, critics, and academics convened by the Literaturhaus in Munich in 1999 voted Robert Musil’s The Man without Qualities the most important German novel of the 20th century. Their collective judgment rests on strong foundations: on the work’s encyclopedic compass, embracing intellectual, social, political, and cultural concerns embodied in themes of striking originality; on its probing of key issues of Austrian and German life from the first four decades of the twentieth century; on the brilliance of its language, unsurpassed by any other 20th-century author writin

Book six of the Ethnographer’s Toolkit series discusses the special requirements that doing ethnographic research imposes on its practitioners. The authors first describe how the work of ethnographers is inextricably tied to type of person the ethnographer is, the particular social and cultural context of the research site, and the tasks and responsibilities that ethnographers assume in the field. The book then examines how ethnographers assemble research teams, establish partnerships with individuals and institutions in the field, and work collaboratively with a wide range of people and

In Classical Greece women were almost entirely excluded from public life. Yet the feminine was accorded a central place in religious thought and ritual. The public symbolism of religion included powerful figures like Hera, Artemis and Athene; female worshippers often breached the boundary between public and private space; and both men and women negotiated gendered identities through their performance of ritual. This volume is a lively and colorful exploration of the ways in which religion and ritual reveal women’s importance in the Greek polis, showing how ideologies about female roles a
