As the etymological research in the field of Afro-Asiatic is not sufficiently advanced, the lexical roots are not set up on an etymological basis. The main part of the book contains the roots (numerically marked with DRID identifier) in alphabetic arrangement, with their subsequent lexemes marked with an identity number, the “ID,” as created by the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae (TLA), of the Berlin Academy of Sciences. The roots section is followed by extensive indexes, including a lexeme index and an index of roots of Semitic origin. A selected bibliography concludes the work.

The present paper aims to analyse the administration of weaving workshops during the Middle Kingdom (ca 2040-1750 BC) focusing on the iconographic and written sources, and especially to contextualize the terminology and titles referring to the profession of weavers and weaving workshops: mr mr(w)t? / mr mr(w)t pAqt, mr DAtt, sxtj and mrt.

protective measures – isolation and burning of corpses.
The politics of Ba’ath Party and Saddam Hussein both strongly insisted on the Mesopotamian cultural heritage while trying to create the new identity of modern Iraq. Consequently, archaeology and history became of supreme importance, and the budget for the Iraqi Department of Antiquities increased by more than 80%. The excavations (and heavy reconstructions!) were launched at numerous archaeological sites (such as Nineveh, Hatra, Nimrud, and Ashur), but Saddam’s main focus was on Babylon. At the same time, new museums were established all around the country. In 1981, Babylon was the stage for commemorating the first anniversary of the Iraqi invasion of Iran, with officials using the slogan, Nebuchadnasar al-ams Saddam Hussein al-yawm (Yesterday Nebuchadnezzar, today Saddam Hussein).
The Ba’ath Party maintained the idea that Iraq is the first among the Arab countries and that the history of Iraq dates back to the very beginnings of civilization. This created the impression of Iraqi supremacy in the Arab world and gave additional impetus to both the attack on Kuwait and the war with Iran. Archaeology and history were used to the extreme limits in political manipulations (with an enormous budget for archaeological excavations, devastating reconstructions on archaeological sites, foundations of new museums). Saddam Hussein's ideological matrix, that is, an attempt to equalize Mesopotamian cultural heritage with the identity of modern Iraq and use it for the legitimacy of his own regime, further burdened or even severed Iraqi links with the history of the country in which they lived. By constructing the country’s identity, the regime deconstructed the idea of continuity, however fictitious it may be, with past cultures.
Departing from a broad interest in approaches to network analysis, the workshop specifically explores questions such as: How are various types of networks displayed on ancient monuments, represented on the ground, and established in written documents? Which effect on our understanding of the past has the modern translation of these networks into graphs, tables and words? What are the theoretical ramifications of modelling representations of networks? And how can network models supplement other methodologies in different fields of research?
The workshop will be held at the University of Cologne, beginning with a keynote lecture by Prof. Dr. Danijela Stefanović on 5th June and continuing with a series of presentations and discussions on 6th June. It offers an interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas among researchers working on different subject matters, time periods, geographical areas and source materials. The workshop is designed to fuel discussions of how network data can be efficiently represented in various formats and communicated to different audiences.
Network analysis is gradually gaining momentum in the fields of history and archaeology. A plethora of recent studies is demonstrating that it can advance significantly interpretation of how people, places and ideas were connected and interacted in the past. The aim of this workshop is to develop further the discussion of the potential and limitations of network approaches by placing the focus on representations of networks in the past and present.
