Abstract:
AbstractThis article presents a number of joins and associations recently made in the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities at the British Museum on sculpture excavated by Robert Murdoch Smith and Edwin Augustus Porcher during their expedition to Cyrene in 1861. The connections were made during an on-going programme within the Greek and Roman Department to provenance and, wherever possible, join the large collection of fragmentary sculpture originating from the big excavations of the 19th century. In addition, some tentative associations between sculpture in the British Museum and others still at Cyrene will be proposed, and some recent epigraphic discoveries made during a visit to the site will also be presented.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT In response to criticism about the state of the monuments there, the British government in 1935 set up a Department of Antiquities in its colony of Cyprus. The instability of its first two years owed much to local intrigues and feuds that the colonial governor, Sir Richmond Palmer, failed to resolve. His equivocal stance was tested when, immediately following a visit to the island in 1936, David Talbot Rice, the Watson Gordon Professor of Fine Art at Edinburgh University, submitted to the Colonial Office in London a report criticizing the Department’s work. Dismissed at once by the governor as wildly inaccurate and unhelpful, the report raises questions about Talbot Rice’s possible motives in writing it. The episode reveals the strained nature of metropolis-colony relationships, the fallibility of reports made by visiting experts, and—specifically for the Cyprus case—the governor’s questionable commitment to the new Antiquities Department.

AbstractThe article deals with the interpretation of two images on the lapis lazuli stamp seal from the Western Asiatic Department of Antiquities in the British Museum. The author compares the images with scenes on Shahdad "standard", on bifacial disc from eastern Iran and on fragments of steatite vases from Louvre and the British Museum, and comes to the conclusion that the figure with a sidelock is a male personage, the other one is a female. Links with the art of south-eastern Iran put the stamp seal in the context of the Trans-Elamite culture, about 2550-2250 B.C.

Abstract:
This article deals with major achievements in the field of archaeology and cultural heritage in Jordan since the 19th century, the time when many travelers explored Jordan and Palestine and paid attention to the richness of the Archaeological and historical sites. The Department of Antiquities was established in 1923 to manage the archaeological sites and excavations as well as restoration work in various sites of the country. As well as bylaws of antiquities ere issued in 1934. Since then extensive excavations and surveys took place by foreign expeditions, and later on with participation of local institutions. Archaeological and cultural resource management programs were established in a number of Jordanian universities for training local archaeologists to undertake field research projects in cooperation with international institutions. A national museum (Jordan Museum) as well as several local museums and university museums were established and made accessible for local communities. The Department of Antiquities developed a program entitled (MEGA-Jordan) to inventory and manage archaeology sites at a national level. International research centers were established in Jordan including the American, British, French, German and Spanish, to conduct archaeological work and to accommodate researchers from different parts of the world. Six Jordanian properties were inscribed in the World Heritage List: Petra, Quseir Amra, Um er-Rasas, Wadi Rum, Baptism Site and As-Salt.

Abstract:
This article generalizes and systematises the experience of studying mediaeval caravanserais in Karasubazar, with the ruined site of one structure located on the territory of the modern city of Belogorsk (Republic of the Crimea). Various groups of historical sources have been used, with considerable attention to the journals of numerous travellers who visited the Crimean Peninsula (P. S. Pallas, P. I. Sumarokov, F. Dubois de Montpereux, A. N. Demidov, etc.). The earliest travelogue was written by Evliya Celebi. This Ottoman traveller observed the largest khan in the town (hereinafter referred to as the Upper Tash-khan, or Sefer Gazi-aga’s caravanserai) shortly after its significant reconstruction and strengthening, which was probably made with the view of the need to strengthen the defences of the town and its residents in the view of regular devastating raids of the Cossacks in the 1620–1630s. The widely used graphic sources, particularly the works by C. Bossoli made in the early 1840s, indicate that the buildings in question were abandoned and lost their former function. The analysis has been made of the works of K. F. Bogaevskii, whose sketches of Crimean antiquities made under the order from the KrymOKhRIS (Section / Sub-department / Committee for the Protection of the Monuments of Art, Antiquity, and People’s daily Life in the Crimea) reflected the preservation of the monuments in the mid-1920s with photographic accuracy. Pencil sketches by U. A. Bodaninskii have been used as well. A set of photographs from the collections of the Bakhchisarai Historical and Cultural Archaeological Museum Preserve, A. V. Shchusev State Scientific Research Museum of Architecture (Moscow), and Central Museum of Taurida (Simferopol) allowed the ones to reconstruct the appearance of the site in the 1920–1930s. The participation of academic institutions in the study of cultural heritage sites of Karasubazar in the first half of the twentieth century has been analysed, and the activities of the Central State Restoration Workshops which sent the architect B. N. Zasypkin to the Crimea have been considered. The main stages of the creation and functioning of the trading khans in the town under study have been characterized, and the architectural analysis has been done.

Abstract:
The Staffordshire (Ogley Hay) hoard was found on the 5–10 July 2009 by Mr Terry Herbert while metal-detecting on arable land at a site in south Staffordshire in the English Midlands (Figure 1).Mr Herbert contacted Duncan Slarke, the Portable Antiquities Scheme's Finds Liaison Officer for Staffordshire and the West Midlands, who visited the finder at his home and prepared an initial list of 244 bags of finds. These were then taken to Birmingham Museum and HM Coroner was informed. Duncan Slarke also contacted the relevant archaeological authorities including English Heritage, the Staffordshire Historic Environment Record, the Potteries Museum, Stoke-on-Trent, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery and the Portable Antiquities & Treasure Department at the British Museum. A meeting was held in Birmingham on 21 July at which it was agreed that the controlled recovery of the remaining objects of the hoard and an archaeological investigation of the findspot was a priority. It was also agreed that one of the Portable Antiquities Scheme's National Advisors, Dr Kevin Leahy, should compile a hand-list of finds in preparation for the Coroner's Inquest.

Abstract:
Il 3 Settembre 1939 la Gran Bretagna dichiarava guerra alla Germania nazista di Hitler. Iniziava così la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Una guerra che coinvolse tutto e tutti anche il settore artistico-museale dei paesi Europei interessati dalle operazioni belliche. Memori di quanto era accaduto durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale, il Governo Inglese e i direttori dei musei, delle gallerie e delle biblioteche nazionali delinearono le linee guida per salvare i tesori che formavano il patrimonio artistico della nazione fin dal Novembre 1933. Una data precoce che permise alle realtà museali inglesi di preparare per tempo l'evacuazione delle opere d'arte più preziose in luoghi che avrebbero garantito loro protezione soprattutto dai bombardamenti aerei. Il British Museum, custode di una delle più importanti collezioni artistiche al mondo, affidò la preparazione del piano generale di evacuazione all'allora Keeper del Greek and Roman Department Sir John Forsdyke. Grazie al suo meticoloso lavoro quando la situazione politica internazionale precipitò, il Museo non si trovò impreparato e fu in grado di mettere al sicuro le sue collezioni. Non fu un'evacuazione totale, impossibile da effettuare data l'enorme quantità di oggetti posseduti, ma selettiva. Evacuare la collezione del Greek and Roman Department non fu un lavoro semplice essendo questa composta da migliaia di reperti di tutte le forme, pesi e materiali, e si dovette anche scegliere quali oggetti dovevano assolutamente lasciare il British. Servirono solo alcuni giorni per spostare i pezzi più importanti nei vari rifugi, ma il loro ritorno alla fine della Guerra richiese anni anche a causa dei gravi danni subiti dal Museo e dal Department duranti i bombardamenti del famoso Blitz.

Abstract:
AbstractCultural diplomacy is often understood first and foremost as an activity of states and institutions, operationalising culture to wield power and communicate ideologies. This chapter considers the use of the concept firstly in terms of its impact on individuals affected by the activities of cultural diplomacy through education and employment by relevant institutions. Secondly, by examining the potential for such individuals also to act as cultural diplomats themselves, for their own subaltern and resistant ends, by tracking the life-histories of Na’im Shehadi Makhouly and Stephan Hanna Stephan, both Palestinian Christian employees of the British Mandate administration’s Department of Antiquities. This chapter shows how cultural diplomacy can be activated as a means of dissent within a colonial setting, but that its appeal and potential are limited.

Abstract:
Abstract Newton came to Bodrum for the first time in 1855. Three years earlier he had entered the diplomatic service as HM Vice-Consul at Mytilene, having previously been an Assistant in the British Museum’s Department of Antiquities. Newton records that his brief from the Foreign Office allowed him ‘to use such opportunities as presented themselves for the acquisition of antiquities for the British Museum, and with this object I was authorised to extend my researches beyond the limits of my Vice-Consulship’. In addition to his official reports to the Foreign Office, Newton wrote regularly to Antonio Panizzi of the British Museum. Newton’s primary aim in Bodrum at this time was to discover whether there were embedded in the walls of the Castle any sculptures from the Mausoleum that had not been extracted with the frieze-blocks in 1846, a possibility that he had raised in his paper in Classical Museum. He was not disappointed, finding in the Castle three lions, including two that he identified as those seen only from a boat by Ross. Newton was at a loss to understand why they had not been removed in 1846, and conjectured that they might then have been thought to have been either medieval or Turkish. In the hope of obtaining a firman to remove the lions, Newton reported their discovery to Lord Stratford de Redcliffe (as Sir Stratford Canning was known from 1852).
