Preliminary report on fish remains from the 18th- and 19th-century pearl fishing and trading settlement of Al Zubārah, Qatar

Au cours de la première saison du projet Last Schooners en 2019, on a effectué un levé cartographique par photogrammétrie à l’aide de véhicules téléguidés de l’épave de la Katie Eccles, une goélette à deux mâts. Construite en 1877 et disparue à la fin novembre 1922, elle a été retenue pour l’étude en raison de sa représentativité du commerce à petite échelle et à courte distance dans le lac Ontario pendant les dernières années de la navigation à la voile. Le levé a réussi à analyser le site et à évaluer le bien-fondé de la photogrammétrie à distance comme moyen d’établir de façon efficace et peu coûteuse des paramètres de référence en matière de surveillance et de gestion des ressources culturelles submergées.

The Village

Qasr Shemamok, a large tell situated about 30 km southwest of Erbil, close to the village of Tarjan, is a well-known site of Iraqi Kurdistan. It has been identified as the remains of the ancient city of Kakzu (or Kilizu) since the 19th century. In 2012, a French archaeological Mission, guided by O. Rouault with a European team, and funded by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, came to work in Erbil, answering an invitation from the Kurdish authorities, and from the Erbil Salaheddin University, thanks to the strong support of the local French Consulate. The text presents the first results of the anthropological work at Qasr Shemamok, conducted in the 2012 season.

House Site

The paper presents a preliminary report of the site excavations at Harvard Yard, Cambridge, Massachusetts and relates some of the difficulties that secondary deposits and urban dumps pose for the historical archaeologist. Although the study has not been completed, it is suggested that a study in material pattern as indicated by vessel form may reveal whether the assemblage excavated from the James Olmstead House Site consists of mainly students' refuse or a mixture of household and student debris. A 19th century example of how material patterning of vessel form can reveal a dormitory origin is presented.

The 19Th Century

This project seeks to recover and record the archaeological evidence associated with the extraction of sulfur (and perhaps other minerals as well) by James Stevenson, a Glasgow industrialist, from the volcanic island of Vulcano, Aeolian Islands, Italy, in the second half of the 19th century. This short preliminary report sets the scene by linking archival material with present conditions and by carrying out select mineralogical analyses of the type of the mineral resource Stevenson may have explored. New 3D digital recording tools (structure-from-Motion photogrammetry) have been introduced to aid future multidisciplinary research. This is a long-term project which aims to examine a 19th-century Scottish mining venture in a southern European context and its legacy on the communities involved. It also aims to view Stevenson’s activities in a diachronic framework, namely as an integral part of a tradition of minerals exploration in southern Italy from the Roman period or earlier.

The 19Th Century

In the possesion of the Zsolnay Museum in Pécs one could find an unusual porcelain set with Egyptian figures and motifs. This treasure is one piece of the evidence which suggests that Egyptianising tendencies might have had a great influence even on Hungarian arts and culture. Although many pieces of Egyptianising Zsolnay ceramics can be found in our museums, and also in online auction houses, we have very little information about the circumstances under which these pieces were created. There are important research papers about the Orientalism in Hungarian handicrafts and arts by Orsolya Kovács and Ibolya Gerelyes, and of course we have many books about the Zsolnay products and the factory in general. Most of these studies mention some ceramics with Egyptian motifs and even Miklós Zsolnay’s journey to the Near-East, but they do not focus on Egyptomania and its role in the Zsolnay heritage. The present paper is trying to serve as a preliminary report about this goldmine of Egyptomania, which consists not only of ceramics, but sketches, letters and diaries as well. We do not have the full picture yet, but this paper will shed some light upon those important, new pieces of evidence of Egyptomania in Hungary in the 19th century.
