“…Most likely, the coloring of the stripes in various colors was originally intended. Hypothetically, this decor can go back to the symbolism of pre-Christian altars for incense, characteristic of the Ethio-Sabean culture [21].…”

The article is devoted to the results of new research carried out in Tigray (Ethiopia) in October 2019. The focus is on rock-hewn churches located in the southern part of the region, in historical areas Tämben and Sähart (Endärta). These are the churches: Wuqro Yohannes Wäldä Nägwädgwad, Abunä Samuʼel ʽ Abiy ʽAddi and Maryam Gunfan. They belong to different types. According to a number of features, the churches of Yohannes Wäldä Nägwädgwad and Abunä Samuʼel ʽAbbiy ʽAddi seem to be one of the earliest in Tämben. Maryam Gunfan, on the contrary, is the most characteristic of the late cave-type churches for the Sähart (Endärta) area. The purpose of this article is to consider new material collected during the expedition, solving typological issues and dating of these monuments.

“…Despite the prominence accorded them in historical reconstructions and omitting hypothetical textual amendments, these inscriptions as of 2008 number only six, all dedicatory, none of which can be claimed as having been recovered from-or recorded in-its original situation. Three of them are inscribed slabs found in the vicinity of Aksum (RIE 2 at Abba Pantaleon monastery and RIE 3 and 5 at Enda Tcherqos on the Melazzo plateau) while the other three-closely resembling one another-are altar-like incense burners from the highlands of eastern Tigray: RIE 8 from the cache at Addi Galamo (Admassou Shiferaou 1955;Caquot & Drewes 1955) and RIE 9 and 10 preserved in the church at Addi Kaweh near Wukro (Sergew Hable Sellassie 1972: 29, 118;Schneider 1973Schneider , 1976a. These last, it now appears, may originally have been associated with a temple recently discovered at Makeber Gae'wa in the immediate vicinity (Tekle Hagos personal communication; Yohannes Gebre Sellassie personal communication ;Fattovich 2009) and currently undergoing excavation.…”

The First Millennium bc in the Highlands of Northern Ethiopia and South–Central Eritrea: A Reassessment of Cultural and Political Development

An overview is offered of the development of research-both archaeological and epigraphic-on the inhabitants of the northern Horn during the first millennium BC. Initially, reconstructions of this period placed considerable emphasis on links with southern Arabia and tended to group those into a single cultural category that was designated 'Pre-Aksumite'. It is now argued that long-distance contacts were much less pervasive, being largely restricted to the élite, and that other aspects of life-including much material culture and subsistence economydisplayed strong local continuity from earlier times. Similarly, it is argued that interpretation of the epigraphic evidence as indicating a single 'Pre-Aksumite' state called D'MT is unjustified.Résumé On fait une revue du développement de la recherche archéologique et epigraphique sur les habitants des régions septentrionales de la Corne de l'Afrique pendant le premier millénaire avant notre ère. Autrefois, les interprétations tendaient à mettre en exergue les relations avec l'Arabie du sud, et considérer toutes ces populations comme appartenant à un seul groupe culturel 'pré-aksoumite'. On préfère aujourd'hui soutenir que les contacts de longue distance étaient pour la plupart limités aux élites, et que les autres dimensions de la vie sociale -les outils lithiques, la culture matérielle, et les moyens de subsistance notamment -présentent des continuités appréciables avec les périodes antérieures. On considère de même qu' il n'y a pas de raison pour interpréter les textes épigraphiques comme indicatifs d'un seul état 'pré-aksoumite' nommé D'MT.

Taxonomical results: anatomical descriptions and ecological features. Taxonomic classifications were proposed by following Höhn and Neumann (2018) methodology for charcoal identification in species-rich environments. Descriptions of the wood anatomy are accompanied by a list of the main diagnostic characters of each charcoal type, a discussion of each identification and photos of the transverse (TS), tangential longitudinal (TLS) and radial longitudinal (RLS) sections, as well as brief summaries of the ecological distributions and economic features of the taxa in each case.The description of charcoal types follows the standard terminology of the International Association of Wood Anatomists (IAWA) (Wheeler et al. 1989;Ritcher et al. 2004) with minor adaptations for characters not listed by IAWA (e.g. intervessel pits coalescent). Note that not all IAWA characters could be evaluated as some are usually difficult to identify in archaeological charcoal (e.g. length of parenchyma strands). The only quantitative feature included is mean diameter of vessel lumina, which was calculated by measuring a minimum of 10 vessels in 5 different charcoal fragments when possible. Microscopic photographs were taken using the Olympus Stream Basic commercial software and a Olympus BX51 reflected light microscope -available at the laboratory of Environmental Archaeological of Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) -with incident light and magnifications 50x, 100x, 400x and 1000x, which are indicated in each photograph by the scales -200 µm, 100 µm, 50 µm and 20 µm respectively . The allocation to northern Ethiopian taxa is done in relation to available wood and charcoal reference materials from Ethiopia at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) deposits, but also using pre-existing literature and collections from other areas of the world since the available reference samples of Ethiopian taxa are still very limited. As a general rule, the naming of the different taxa follows Friis et al. (2010), who does not mention authorship. However, authorship is included for reference collection samples when available, as well as when quoting botanical synonyms. Botanical synonyms accepted by the International Plant Names Index database (IPNI 2020) are considered to refer to the same taxa when comparing their wood anatomies (e.g. Dodonaea angustifolia, and D. viscosa, see below). Vernacular names in Tigrinya (November et al. 2002, Bekele-Tessema 2007 are transcribed without phonetic characters following the example of Bekele-Tesemma (2007; but see November et al. 2002: 2). The ecological distributions of the species related to each charcoal type are assigned according to Friis et al. (2010) classification into the following vegetational units: i) Desert and semi-desert scrubland (DSS); ii) Acacia-Commiphora woodland and bushland proper (ACB); iii) Acacia wooded grassland of the Rift Valley (ACB/RV); iv) Combretum-Terminalia woodland and wooded grassland (CTW); v) Afromontane woodlands, wooded grasslands and grasslands (DAF/WG); vi) Undifferentia...
