Connecting the ancient West and East has been the life's goal of the Georgian-born scholar Gocha Tsetskhladze since he stepped westward from the then Soviet Union in 1990 (his higher education took place in Kharkov and Moscow).This publication honours his not inconsiderable achievements, following in (and filling) the footsteps of Minns and Rostovtzeff, unremittingly for 30 years, first in Oxford, then London and Melbourne, now in Wales.Its publication occurs just short of his sixtieth birthday.Epithets applied to him have included 'king of Pontus' and 'Mr Colonisation', for his focus has been the Black Sea and Greek colonisation, unashamedly called that, of its coasts, and the exploration of Graeco-native contacts there and in the related hinterland, starting first from his native Colchis, where the Greeks learnt a thing or two from the locals: two-way exchange, not unidirectional Hellenisation.More recently, his attention turned to excavation of Pessinus in Central Anatolia.The work is divided into two volumes: the first focused primarily on the Black Sea; the second spreading its wings to other regions.Over a hundred scholars, based predominantly in Europe, North America and Australia, have contributed 85 papers and several personal reminiscences.

"e Zhenzheng lun"e by Xuanyi: The Zhenzheng lun c e (T 2112, Treatise of Revealing the Correct) is a Chinese Buddhist apologetic treatise with a distinct anti-Daoist stance in three juan. It is organized as a dialogue between a Daoist, the "e Venerable Obstructed by Customs"e (zhisu gongzi a a a ), and the Buddhist "e Master Revealing the Correct"e (zhenzheng xiansheng c a c Y) in which the former is gradually led towards an orthodox Buddhist understanding by the latter through the refutation of his various arguments against Buddhism. Composed in the late 7th century, the text was authored depending on the political interests and strategies of Wu Zhao (624-705), who in 690 was enthroned as Empress Wu Zetian a a . This study of Thomas Julch offers a richly annotated and complete translation of the Zhenzheng lun along with an introductory part that focuses on reconstructing the political and propagandistic circumstances relevant to the understanding of the Zhenzheng lun.

The 5th millennium BC megalithic ceremonial complex at Wadi Khashab in the Eastern Desert of Egypt is located almost directly in the middle of the Eastern Desert, on a wadi trail connecting the Valley of the Nile with the Red Sea.The volume presents the results of three seasons of excavation of this site, which featured a human burial in the center of several burials of cattle and sheep, within an enclosure of upright stone slabs that must have formed an eye-catching landmark for many miles up and down the wadi, also for the pastoral communities traversing the mountains in later times. The study of the animal remains from this remote site in the poorly known Eastern Desert has provided a very well documented series of osteological, osteometric and archaeozoological data on early cattle and sheep.It adds to the current knowledge of cattle domestication in the Neolithic and early cattle mobility in northeastern Africa, offering unique information on the uses of domestic livestock not only in the funerary traditions, but also in mobility systems.It also contributes to the discussion on the origins and domestication of the auroch in Africa, pointing to a local African origin for the cattle.
