URL: https://aucpress.com/9781649031877/ Description Christian–Islamic encounters through religious arts, architecture, and material culture in the medieval era The coexistence of Christianity and Islam in the medieval Mediterranean led to an interchange of knowledge in architecture and material culture that went well beyond religious and geographical boundaries.

New Observations on Pre-Pottery Neolithic Earrings and Lip Labrets at Boncuklu Tarla. Age, Gender, and Social Identity, L’anthropologie 129, pp. 1-12. Abstract New data from the excavations at Boncuklu Tarla reveal that objects previously classified as ambiguous stone artefacts, tokens, or more commonly stone earplugs, are, in fact, labret earrings. The discovery of these objects in situ during the excavations has, more specifically, led to a reevaluation of their definition. Our study of the burials in which these objects were found not only validate their use as body ornaments but also provide further data highlighting their significance. We can now engage in a discussion of concepts such as individual and

Il s’agit désormais de présenter à grands traits le réseau consulaire états-unien dans l’Empire ottoman, puis de proposer quelques pistes de recherche, notamment en ce qui concerne les Arméniens ottomans, très présents dans ces fonds documentaires. Extract: This post follows a previous one that provided an overview of the NARA holdings and explained how to access them. The aim here is to give a general outline of the U.S. consular network in the Ottoman Empire, and then to suggest a few research directions, particularly with

Par Gosse, M., Consoli, 24 avril 2025Version française : https://doi.org/10.58079/13swrEnglish version: https://doi.org/10.58079/13sws Extrait :  Les diplomates et consuls états-uniens dans l’Empire ottoman sont passés à la postérité par leur rôle de témoins – et d’acteurs – pendant le génocide des Arméniens à partir de 1915, notamment l’ambassadeur à Constantinople (Henry Morgenthau) et les consuls à Harput (Leslie Davis) et à Alep (Jesse Jackson)1. Au service d’une puissance neutre jusqu’à 1917, les agents états-uniens ont pu rester en fonction et conserver une certaine capacité d’action, contrairement à leurs homologues français et britanniques, contraints de quitter leurs postes à l’automne 1914 alors que les puissances qu’ils représentaient disposaient des deux réseaux les plus denses de l’Empire ottoman au XIXe siècle.
