NELC 20008 /30008: The Event:Jerusalem,701 BC
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This seminar examines the wealth of historical issues and literatures attaching to the Assyrian campaign against Jerusalem in 701 BC. The siege-negotiations there-reflected in Neo-Assyrian and Biblical accounts, as well as archaeological investigations-affected the course of political events in Egypt, Babylonia, Syria, and Anatolia. Literary echoes can be found in later Greek, Aramaic, and medieval literatures, as well as in the cultural politics of Europe in nineteenth century AD. The event is enmeshed in historical problems related to ancient diplomacy, folk tradition, structures of empire, cult practice and politics, and prophetic literature, which are all amplified by their reproduction in literally dozens of languages. By using the episode at Jerusalem as a platform, this seminar also considers philosophical-historical questions about the importance of "the event" in historical discour se. This course is offered in alternate years. S. Richardson. Not offered 2 009-10; will be offered 2010

3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course introduces the background and development of the first urbanized civilizations in the Near East in the period from 9000 to 2200 BC. In the first half of this course, we examine the archaeological evidence for the first domestication of plants and animals and the earliest village communities in the "fertile crescent" (i.e., the Levant, Anatolia, Mesopotamia). The second half of this course focuses on the economic and social transformations that took place during the development from simple, village-based communities to the emergence of the urbanized civilizations of the Sumerians and their neighbors in the fourth and third millennia BC .
