 //Keywords//: Ubaid - expansion
-//Abstract//: Originally coined to signify a style of pottery in southern Iraq, and by extension an associated people and a chronological period, the term "Ubaid" is now often used loosely to denote a vast Near Eastern interaction zone, characterized by similarities in material culture, particularly ceramic styles, which existed during the sixth and fifth millennia B.C. This zone extended over 2,000 km from the shores of the Mediterranean to the Straits of Hormuz, including parts of Anatolia and perhaps even the Caucasus. The volume contains twenty-three papers t
+//Abstract//: Originally coined to signify a style of pottery in southern Iraq, and by extension an associated people and a chronological period, the term "Ubaid" is now often used loosely to denote a vast Near Eastern interaction zone, characterized by similarities in material culture, particularly ceramic styles, which existed during the sixth and fifth millennia B.C. This zone extended over 2,000 km from the shores of the Mediterranean to the Straits of Hormuz, including parts of Anatolia and perhaps even the Caucasus. The volume contains twenty-three papers that explore what the "Ubaid" is, how it is identified, and how the Ubaid in one location compares to another in a distant location.
+The papers (table of contents: [[http://oi.uchicago.edu/research/pubs/catalog/saoc/saoc63.html]]) are the result of The Ubaid Expansion? Cultural Meaning, Identity and the Lead-up to Urbanism, an International Workshop held at Grey College, University of Durham, 20-22 April 2006.

+**Johnson, Unaccusativity**
+//Title//: J. Cale Johnson, //Unaccusativity and the double object construction in Sumerian,// Neue Beihefte zur Wiener Zeitschrift für die Kunde des Morgenlandes 7 (Herausgegeben am Institut für Orientalistik der Universität Wien von Rüdiger Lohlker, Markus Köhbach, Stephan Procházka, Gisela Procházka-Eisl und Gebhard J. Selz), Wien 2010.
+//Keywords//: Sumerian grammar - unaccusativity
+//Abstract//: Sumerian, probably the earliest attested language in human history, has no known cognates. Accordingly, many features of Sumerian grammar are still under discussion. Up to now research has focused primarily on questions of Sumerian phonology and morphology. In the present study the author concentrates on syntactic or pragmatic phenomena, especially on the referential properties of the nominal component of certain so-called compound verbs, the unaccusativity contrast, and the possibility of generic quantification in the double object construction.
+**Fales, Guerre et paix en Assyrie**

+//Abstract//: The volume is based on several lectures given by F. M. Fales in Paris and thus divided into four parts. The first chapter highlights the available documentation about the Neo-Assyrian empire. Chapter 2 deals with the organisation of the army, followed by a discussion of the military campaigns and finally the outcomes of the wars.

+**Archaemenid Impact**
+//Title//: J. Nieling and E. Rehm (eds) //Achaemenid Impact in the Black Sea. Communication of Powers,// Black Sea Studies 11, Aarhus University Press 2010.
+//Keywords//: Achaemenid - Black Sea - Persian culture
+//Abstract//: For 200 years, from the second half of the 6th century BC to the decades before 330 BC, the Persian dynasty of the Achaemenids ruled an enormous empire stretching from the Mediterranean to Afganistan and India. The Great Kings Dareios I and Xerxes I even tried to conquer Greece and the northern Black Sea, but failed. Why were they interested in the Pontic area? In contrast to rich satrapies, such as Egypt, Phoenicia, and Syria, the Black Sea had no prosperous cities to offer. After 479 BC, the Persians acknowledged that the coast and Caucasus formed the natural borders of the empire. Nevertheless, the satraps became involved in the affairs of the Black Sea region in order to safeguard the empire's frontiers. The local inhabitants of the region became bearers and transmitters of Persian culture.
