The first published archaeological survey of the Egiin Gol valley of Mongolia, spanning the last 30,000 years and centering on the integration of local sites and landscape  This is the first complete intensive regional archaeological survey report for Mongolia to be published. It presents the experiences and results of groundbreaking fieldwork that detected ephemeral steppe settlement sites, extensive monumental constructions, and changing land use that span the last 30,000 years, from the late Upper Paleolithic to the nineteenth century. Extensive illustrations of monuments and ceramics provide comparative data and local detail in an integrated landscape- and settlement-based approach to the prehistory and history of eastern Eurasia.  The authors examine the place of Egiin Gol in the Xiongnu and Early Turkic polities and reveal the historical landscape of Buddhist monasteries and farms, highlighting this region of northern Mongolia as a historical breadbasket. Throughout, the focus is on the local and immediate archaeology of the Egiin Gol valley, the impetus for change and continuity, and how sites and features worked together to create past cultural landscapes.  This volume is aimed at Eurasian and Mongolian specialists, archaeologists in general, landscape archaeologists, historians of East Asia and Eurasia, environmental historians, and agrarian studies scholars interested in the history and study of pastoralism, including development and rangeland management.  Distributed for the Yale Peabody Museum

How humor turns the spotlight on our changing religious landscapeIn modern America, religion is funny. Not only have skeptical comedians, from George Carlin to Sarah Silverman, lampooned hypocritical preachers and what they see as illogical doctrines, but many religious Americans have satirized unsavory aspects of their own traditions. In Comic Belief, Joshua Wright presents a surprising cultural and intellectual history of the changing relationship between religion and humor in the United States from the early 20th century to the present. The past century has seen both an explosion of commercial comedy and a significant transformation in the stature and shape of American Christianity. Comic Belief explores a wide range of characters and sources, from iconic stand-up comedians like Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor, to the evangelical humor magazine The Wittenburg Door, to films like Angels in the Outfield and Monty Python's Life of Brian.Wright reveals how both fervent critics and defenders of American Christianity have used comedy and satire to express a widespread, simmering discomfort with overly formal institutional religion. While humor has been instrumental in the rise of the religious "nones" and the "spiritual but not religious," it has also played an important though underexplored part in the story of the growth of conservative evangelicalism.Comprehensive and deeply engaging, Comic Belief provides a groundbreaking exploration of religion and humor over the last century.

The Chengdu Plain Archaeological Survey (CPAS), was an international collaborative archaeological project that took place over the course of five field seasons starting in 2005 under the direction of Rowan Flad (Harvard University), Pochan Chen (National Taiwan University), Gwen Bennett (Washington University, St. Louis / McGill), Jiang Zhanghua (Chengdu City Institute of Archaeology) and Li Shuicheng (Peking University). The survey involved a multi-faced archaeological investigation of site locations and landscape use in an area of approximately 350 km2 surrounding two Neolithic walled sites (ca. 2600–1700 BCE): Pi Xian Gucheng (30? 54’ 15” N, 103? 55’ 25” E) and Yufucun (30? 45’ 15” N, 103? 50’ 05” E).Using a combination of surface collection, systematic coring, geophysics and test pits, team members conducted five seasons of investigations and collected thousands of data points useful for synthesizing changing land use contemporaneous with the cultural changes that occurred in the region from the Neolithic, through the subsequent Bronze Age and into the period of the Qin and Han Empires. Settlement patterns attest to a diachronic process that eventually gave rise to the Sanxingdui polity in the second millennium BCE, and subsequent Bronze Age cultures that occupied the region at the time of Qin conquest in 316 BCE. This report brings together the data from this survey and synthetic discussions of the prehistory and environment of the region. The database provides the first comprehensive, systematic, large-scale regional survey of archaeological material in the Sichuan Basin of China.
