Absolute and Relative Dating Methods in Prehistory
ISBN: 9783843371148 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work challenges the claim that Hallan Cemi (near Batman in Southeastern Turkey) was occupied during the Epipaleolithic (11th millennium BP). While techno-typological analyses of some objects, chipped stone in particular, appear to place the site's occupation within the 11th millennium, the iconography etched into ground stone and worked bone is too similar to much later sites nearby and in the Urfa Plain to ignore. Various descriptions of the site have been given, from Epipaleolithic to Aceramic Neolithic. This terminological discrepancy reflects not only on the problem of dating Hallan...

At Home and in Exile
ISBN: 9783838305189 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This thesis explores notions of the reconfiguration of "home" and "exile" in the experience of Salaam, the Muslim Queer Community in Toronto. Based on fieldwork that took place from 2004 to 2006, I examine diasporic practices and narratives of belonging to homes in exile. A main argument of this thesis is that queer Muslims' notions of 'home' are understood through the experience of 'exile' and vice-versa. Their positioning as diasporic queer Muslims situates them on the borderzone of the larger Muslim and queer communities in Canada. By queering Islam and Islamizing queer identity, Salaam...
