Two vases reputedly from the village of Vrondama, located some 7km. SW of Geraki in Central Laconia, add significantly to the corpus of Laconian Dark Age pottery, since they represent both ends of the chronological spectrum. The vases are an askos and oinochoe. The askos can be dated to the very early Dark Ages, perhaps even to the transition from LH IIIC to DA, and does much to narrow the gap in Laconia between the end of IIIC and the beginning of DA. The oinochoe, on the other hand, may serve as a transition between the end of DA and the beginning of Laconian LG, for parallels, primarily from Argos, provide a general chronological framework of MG II. The oinochoe is, therefore, as important a transtitional piece for the end of Laconian DA as the askos is for the beginning.

Opening ParagraphIn 1971–2 I undertook research in part of the very densely populated farming zone around Kano city (often called the Kano close-settled zone) in order to compare it with a Hausa village, Batagarawa, some 100 miles further north in Katsina Emirate, where I had lived and worked in 1967. At Batagarawa farmland is not scarce and members of the community are free to establish farms on uncultivated (bush) land, some of which is no further than a mile or so from the village. For some 30 to 40 miles or more around Kano city, on the other hand, there is little or no uncultivated bush and farmers with insufficient land are obliged to buy or to ‘borrow’ (aro) farmland from others. My purpose was to compare and contrast the socio-economic organization and economic conditions of farmers in the two localities, with special reference, in so far as this variable could be isolated, to population density.

The season which is to be recorded in the following pages has been marked by a persevering and wide-spread activity, both on the part of the Greek Government and the Archaeological Society, and also among all the foreign schools established in Athens. This activity has been rewarded by results which are in many cases very interesting; but at the same time there are no discoveries to record so fortunate and brilliant as those which gave us last season the gold cups of Baphion or the great group by Damophon at Lycosura. One fact, however, is of higher importance than any single discovery. The long-postponed excavation of Delphi has at last been formally conceded to the French School. Those who have heard of the complicated negotiations which have been going on about this matter for the last few years may be surprised to hear that the original draft of the contract, which was published last spring, bears the date 1887. But it did not receive the Royal assent and so become law until 13/25 April, 1891. The chief features of the agreement, which follows the same lines as that made with the Germans about Olympia, are as follows. Right of compulsory expropriation is given, as in the case of roads and railways; all land thus acquired becomes the property of the Greek Government, as also do all antiquities of any kind which may be discovered. On the other hand the right of excavation is given to the French for ten years, and also the exclusive right of copying, photographing, and publishing all antiquities discovered for five years from the date of discovery in each case. The expropriation of the village of Castri is a difficult and tedious process; but it is to be hoped that work will actually begin upon the site of Delphi during the coming season. All will await its results with the highest interest, and with confidence that the French School, under the able direction of M. Homolle, will carry out the excavations with the same high efficiency that has marked its other undertakings.

The research method is descriptive qualitative analysis, with data collected by conducting interviews and collecting documentation. The results reveal that the delay in absorption was caused by deficient regulations, which were subsequently revised in April 2015 to improve the implementation of the Village Fund Program.

Amidst Bollywood’s romanticized landscapes and grandeur settings, depiction of the flora and fauna, roaring rivers and drought prone lands, is difficult to locate. But the new millennium has witnessed some new generation filmmakers, sensitized towards the ecological concerns, thus marking a shift from the illustration of idealised landscapes to the representation of nature’s wrath. Since, cinema in India, has a deep-rooted impact on the masses, these creators employ films as tools to sensitize the population towards the climate change threat which though as perilous as the COVID-19 crisis, is often ignored by a significant amount of population. Dawning upon themselves the responsibility of environmental awakening, Nila Madhab Panda and Abhishek Kapoor highlight in their movies, Kadvi Hawa(2017) and Kedarnath(2018), respectively, the horrors of human callousness, leading to drastic change in Climatic condition in India. Panda’s Kadavi Hawa, dealing with non-repayment of loans followed by suicides, portrays the heart-wrenching imagery of environmental degradation and Climate change that has rendered the Village of Mahua, arid and infertile. Kapoor’s Kedarnath on the other hand, appeals for action through horrifying imagery of the catastrophic floods that disrupted the holy town of Kedarnath, in 2013. Through a detailed analysis of the aforementioned visual portrayals, this article aims to emphasise as to how Films can play an important role in effectively addressing dealing with the issues related to Climate. Further, the rationale of this paper is to underscore the possibility of more such storylines, as a tool towards effective engagement and levitation of conscience.

The third chapter turns towards newcomers in Neukirch and Ebersbach and explores how the villagers responded to the growing inflow of non-locals into the locality in the postwar era. Unlike previous scholarship, which has often focused on one particular group of newcomers, it examines the continuities between different waves of migration in East and West. The chapter reveals that ethnic German refugees, foreign workers, and urban newcomers were in similar ways marginalized by long-standing locals who tried to claim ownership over the spaces of ‘their’ locality. While migration is remembered through very different narratives in Neukirch and Ebersbach, Easterners and Westerners failed to fully come to terms with diversity in their village. In the booming Ebersbach, locals remembered a continuous inflow of strangers that diversified the community. In the shrinking Neukirch, on the other hand, stop-and-go migration was silenced in a narrative of continued homogeneity of the community. The chapter thus demonstrates how migration and integration in the divided Germany played out in local contexts. Diversity in postwar society, it will be shown, was contested in debates over local identity and belonging.

Not only among doctors, but also among the public, there is an established view that scurvy is a disease that develops on the soil of perverse nutrition. The purpose of our study was to provide figures, a statistical way of verifying this, in an empirical way, in the form of an established view. On the other hand, we set ourselves the goal of the same way to find out the role of another factor in the ethnology of scurvy - the role of sanitary conditions, mainly a housing estate, a village hut for various groups of peasant population.

Abstrak: Masjid dilihat secara epistimologis maupun sosiologis didirikan dengan tujuan utama sebagai pusat peribadatan dan pusat kegiatan peradaban umat Islam. Dan secara historis fungsi masjid sebagai pusat peribadatan lahir bersamaan dengan dakwah  Nabi Muhammad saw.  Masyarakat Lombok yang terkenal dengan semangat keberagamaan yang tinggi keberadaan masjid dapat dijumpai di setiap penjuru desa dan bahkan dasan. Pada satu sisi, kesadaran membangun sebuah masjid merupakan wujud dari pemakmuran masjid secara materil, namun di sisi lain, secara materil pemakmuran masjid seringkali tidak berjalan seirama dan berdampingan. Oleh karenanya, sangat banyak kita menemukan masjid tanpa banyak jamaah seperti rumah mewah tanpa penghuni. Penelitian yang berlokasi di Mataram ini, dan khusus pada beberapa lingkungan yang terdapat di dalamnya dua masjid, yaitu wilayah Dasan Cermen, Karang Bedil-Punia, Karang Baru, dan Babakan. Sumber utama penelitian ini adalah dari para tokoh agama, tokoh masyarakat, pengurus masjid, dan pemerintah. Berdasarkan data yang diperoleh disimpulkan motif pembangunan masjid; pertama menimbulkan integrasi masyarakat dan bahkan menjadikan mereka semakin kuat dan solid, kedua menimbulkan disintegrasi, yaitu 1) kelompok semu yang mempunyai kepentingan sama; 2) kelompok kepentingan yang diwakili oleh pendukung keberadaan masjid kedua dan masjid ketiga; dan 3) kelompok konflik yang diwakili oleh kelompok pendukung ketiga. Abstract: Masjid epistimologically and sociologically is founded with the main purpose as center of worship and center of civilization Moslem’s activity. Historically the function of masjid as the center of worship was born simultaneously with the Prophet Muhammad's dawah as well. Within Lombok people which are famous for the high religious spirit, the existence of masjid can be found in every corner of the village and even sub-village. On one hand, the awareness to build a masjid is a manifestation of the masjid’s prosperity in a material way. But on the other hand, materially the masjid’s prosperity often does not run in rhythm and side by side. Therefore, there are many mosques without it’s pilgrims like a luxury homes without it’s occupants. The study is located in Mataram, and specialized in several area which contained two masjids, namely Dasan Cermen, Karang Bedil-Punia, Karang Baru, and Babakan. The main sources of this research are from religious leaders, community leaders, masjid administrators, and government. Based on the data obtained, it is concluded the motive of masjid construction, the first it leads to the society integration and even makes them stronger and more solid; the second it leads to disintegration, namely 1) the false groups having the same interests; 2) the interest groups represented by supporters of the second masjid and the third masjid; and 3) the conflict groups represented by third supporter groups.
