+//Title//: Chambon, G., //Parution de Florilegium marianum XV.: Les archives d'Ilu-kân : gestion et comptabilité du grain dans le palais de Mari//, Antony (France): Société pour l'étude du Proche-Orient ancien, 2018.
+//Keywords//: Mari - Mari palace - accounting - accounting texts - 1850–1600 BC - Mari official - Ilu-kân - administration - administrative texts - receipt - deliveries - grain - administrative terms - terminology - transactions - accounting practices - measuring - recording - material culture - scribal culture - social context
+//Abstract//: In the palace of Mari, many thousands of accounting texts from the Old Babylonian Period (c. 1850–1600 BC) were excavated and over 6000 of them were published. This case study is related to a Mari official, Ilu-kân, whose name appears in ca. 200 administrative documents. He was the person responsible for receiving deliveries of grain to the Palace. This corpus offers the opportunity to investigate the exact meaning and the importance of administrative terms and (detailed or not detailed) information about the transaction for the study of accounting practices. This complex relationship between measuring, administrative procedures and recording concerns both material and scribal cultures, within their social context.

+//Abstract//: Studies of seals and sealing practices have traditionally investigated aspects of social, political, economic, and ideological systems in ancient societies throughout the Old World. Previously, scholarship has focused on description and documentation, chronology and dynastic histories, administrative function, iconography, and style. More recent studies have emphasized context, production and use, and increasingly, identity, gender, and the social lives of seals, their users, and the artisans who produced them. Using several methodological and theoretical perspectives, this volume presents up-to-date research on seals that is comparative in scope and focus. The cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach advances our understanding of the significance of an important class of material culture of the ancient world. The volume will serve as an essential resource for scholars, students, and others interested in glyptic studies, seal production and use, and sealing practices in the Ancient Near East, Egypt, Ancient South Asia and the Aegean during the 4th-2nd Millennia BCE.

 //Abstract//: This volume explores the long, rich traditions of viticulture and wine production in Anatolia and Thrace, from the Neolithic era to the present day. Chapters by ten contributing authors illustrate the important and varied roles that viticulture has played in the Anatolian region, and how the vine and wine have shaped the civilizations of Anatolian peoples for millennia. Examining archaeological remains, archival and historical texts, works of art, the records of chroniclers, ethnographic data, migration and demographic patterns, and contemporary legislation and advertising, the ten authors collectively reveal the importance of wine production and consumption in Anatolia's past, and demonstrate why its legacy of tangible and intangible cultural heritage should be valued in the present, and protected in the future.
