In this doctoral thesis, questions concerning the mobility and migration as well as the diet and economy of these, in some sense mobile communities were approached by applying isotope analyses, particularly 87Sr/86Sr, δ18O, δ15N and δ13C analyses. Adapting these methods to a study area of extremely large spatial and chronological dimensions and to a proportionally undersized sample set certainly tested the limits of the methods, but it also allowed a wide variety of questions to be answered. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/19952 Ancient Water Harvesting Methods in the Drylands of the Mediterranean and Western Asia Beckers, Brian; Berking, Jonas; Schütt, Brigitta Water harvesting methods were a vital part of the water supply system of many ancient settlements in the drylands of the Mediterranean region andWestern Asia. Various water harvesting techniques evolved during the Bronze Age or earlier, and some of these remain in use even today. Based on literature we give a brief overview and present a tentative classification of these water harvesting methods and present the basic concepts behind these techniques supplemented with references to archaeological case studies. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/19668 Charles Robert Cockerell Schober, Katalin The article explores the multifaceted practices of Charles Robert Cockerell, a classical traveller touring Greece and the Levant between 1810 and 1817. While the focus will be on a close analysis of the verbal and pictorial techniques used in his depictions of the visited places, the patterns of knowledge formation—in terms of archaeology and architecture—will also be taken into consideration. The theoretical framework as developed by the art historian David Summers will be used as a starting point for a discussion of the manifold ways in which ‘real’ and ‘virtual’ spaces interact in Charles Robert Cockerell’s travel practices and records. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z
