Iron Age Terracotta Figurines from the Southern Levant in Context: Culture and History of the Ancient Near East, cartea 125

Editat de Erin D. Darby, Izaak J. de Hulster
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 oct 2021
This interdisciplinary volume is a ‘one-stop location’ for the most up-to-date scholarship on Southern Levantine figurines in the Iron Age. The essays address terracotta figurines attested in the Southern Levant from the Iron Age through the Persian Period (1200–333 BCE). The volume deals with the iconography, typology, and find context of female, male, animal, and furniture figurines and discusses their production, appearance, and provenance, including their identification and religious functions. While giving priority to figurines originating from Phoenicia, Philistia, Jordan, and Israel/Palestine, the volume explores the influences of Egyptian, Anatolian, Mesopotamian, and Mediterranean (particularly Cypriot) iconography on Levantine pictorial material.

Recenzii

"En résumé, cet ouvrage fait le point sur de nombreux dossiers en cours. L’approche est originale puisqu’elle permet d’appréhender ce matériel de manière globale. En effet, les différentes enquêtes ne se résument pas à une présentation typologique de ces terres cuites, mais insistent toutes sur la matérialité et la destination de ces images, ainsi que sur leurs contextes d’utilisation. Chaque contribution accorde une large place à la méthodologie suivie, ce qui guide commodément le lecteur et lui donne matière à réflexion. Au total, il s’agit d’un ouvrage nécessaire sur la coroplathie levantine."
- Estelle Galbois, Université Toulouse – Jean Jaurès, in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2022.05.12

"This important collection of essays provides a cutting-edge update of available southern Levantine figurines from the Iron Age until the Persian Period (1200–333 BCE). Focusing on the material profile of each find, a clarification of the typology and classification of each object is provided—as either female, male, animal, or furniture figurines—together with a description of their production, appearance, and provenance."
