Dating back more than 2,000 years, the board was discovered in Croatia, in a cave overlooking the Adriatic Sea. The surviving portion of the board consists of 30 ivory fragments engraved with signs of the zodiac. Researchers spent years digging them (...)
Specifically, several bones were missing, others were damaged on their surfaces, were stained, or broken, all of which can be interpreted as resulting from exposure, carrion feeding, as well as being placed in an ossuary. An overall lack of tooth marks on surviving bones and the observed differential pattern of limb and torso survival suggest that bones from the ossuaries had been exposed to bird carrion (...)
L’intitulé de cette manifestation avait provoqué la réaction de défenseurs de la culture perse, dont KabyleS.com publia l’interview dans l’article Sciences “arabes” : non à l’impérialisme culturel ! Motif, les sciences en questions sont le fruit du travail de Persans, d’Indiens, de Berbères, d’Andalous, de Juifs, de Kurdes, de Turcs et d’Arabes, mais aujourd’hui seuls ces derniers sont cités.
Dans ce monde régulièrement (...)

Tout d’abord une question préjudicielle. J’ai exposé l’an dernier à Bruxelles [8] une thèse qui peut se résumer ainsi: la théorie des éléments présente en Grèce et dans l’Inde d’étonnantes analogies. Celles-ci paraissent s’expliquer par un principe commun, qui aurait été emprunté à la civilisation iranienne. D’excellents esprits ont pensé que le problème ainsi posé était pratiquement insoluble. Des analogies manifestes, m’a-t-on (...)
New research by Dr. Melinda Zeder, Curator of Old World Archaeology & Zooarchaeology at the National Museum of Natural History, and Dr. Brian Hesse of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, shows that goats, hunted in the region since the time of Neanderthals, were now being bred and herded instead. Their findings on this historic shift, which forever changed both the societies of human herders and the (...)
Cela n’a d’ailleurs pas été l’objectif de l’auteur en constituant le présent recueil, pas plus que de chercher à reproduire seulement des contributions qui s’inscrivent dans un cadre thématique, géographique ou chronologique strictement délimité. Dans la lignée de plusieurs autres volumes des Res Orientales, ce volume XII contient des articles qui touchent à des champs de recherche divers et traitent de régions et d’époques (...)
