Chapter Seventeen. Eannatum And The "King Of Kiš"?: Another Look At The Stele Of The Vultures And "Cartouches" In Early Sumerian Art
On Art in the Ancient Near East Volume II, 2009Co-Authors: I.j. WinterAbstract:The Stele of Eannatum of Lagas is a monument known to most students of the Ancient Near East. In both text and image, front and back, it documents the victory of the city-state of Lagas over neighboring Umma in a battle arising out of long-standing disputes concerning land- and water-rights. This chapter focuses on so-called identification of the King of Kis on the Stele of the Vultures. The conflict is attested throughout the entire Early Dynastic III period, both before and after Eannatum, ruler of Lagas, who commissioned this particular Stele sometime ca. 2460 B.C.Keywords: Eannatum; King of Kis; Stele of the Vultures

Chapter Sixteen. After The Battle Is Over: The Stele Of The Vultures And The Beginning Of Historical Narrative In The Art Of The Ancient Near East
On Art in the Ancient Near East Volume II, 2009Co-Authors: I.j. WinterAbstract:This chapter contains details about the Stele of Vultures and Pictures that depicts Stele of Vultures. The Stele of the Vultures in the Louvre was a large, rectangular slab of white limestone with a rounded top. The modern restoration of the whole is based upon only seven fragments. Six were excavated during the 1880s at the site of modern Tello, ancient Girsu, a satellite town within the city-state of Lagash. The seventh fragment was acquired by the British Museum in 1900 and later given to the Louvre for the restoration. The obverse of the Stele is divided into two registers, the upper portion almost twice the height of the lower. A large male figure holds a mace in his right hand, the mace-head touching the bald head of a small man who protrudes from a large net further to the left of the central figure.Keywords: Battle; British Museum; Girsu; Historical Narrative; Lagash; Louvre; Registers; Stele; Tello; Vultures

Chapter Twenty-One. How Tall Was Naram-Sîn’S Victory Stele? Speculation On The Broken Bottom
On Art in the Ancient Near East Volume II, 2009Co-Authors: I.j. WinterAbstract:The Victory Stele of Naram-Sin of Agade is surely one of the major monuments preserved from the ancient Near East. Unfortunately? it is partially broken at the top? making the curve of the upper portion of the Stele difficult to reconstruct with surety. Even more difficult is to assess just what and how much is missing from the bottom. Some reconstructions of the Stele have simply completed the obviously missing portions? indicating the outline of the lower edges of the monolith with dotted lines not closed at the bottom. By modern conventions? this is sufficient to imply uncertainty whether there might have been (a) immediate closure at the horizontal below the feet of the figures? (b) a blank or inscribed dado of uncertain height below? or even (c) some further continuation of the relief imagery.Keywords: Naram-Sin; relief imagery; Victory Stele

chapter twenty tree s on the mountain landscape and territory on the victory Stele of naram sin of agade
2009Co-Authors: I.j. WinterAbstract:This paper pursues the tTree on the Mountaint of the Stele of Naram-Sin and its tmeaningt within a Mesopotamian system of referencing the landscape. It reviews the human players on the Stele: from the left, the soldiers of Naram-Sin follow him up the slopes, two behind him in the upper-most line carrying the battle standards. The clothing and hairstyles of these enemy are particularly noteworthy. Naram-Sin occupies the center, in the upper field. There are isolated several subsets for categories of landscape for which "referential," "symbolic" and/or "narrative" uses are distinguished. The trees on the mountain do not signal an identifi cation with a place, but rather an identifi cation of a place: an event that occurred in that landscape and no other; in that territory, on that frontier. The landscape elements on the Stele of Naram-Sin should be considered an attribute of the Akkadian period.Keywords: Agade; Akkadian period; categories of landscape; Naram-Sin; tree on the mountain; victory Stele

Recent research on megalithic Stele sites of the Gedeo Zone, Southern Ethiopia
Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 2018Co-Authors: Andrew I. Duff, Ashenafi Zena, Addisalem Melesse, John A. Wolff, Owen K. Neill, M. Steven ShackleyAbstract:Abstract We discuss a new research effort to identify, document, date and better understand megalithic Stele sites of the Gedeo zone in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region (SNNPR) of southern Ethiopia. The Gedeo zone is home to numerous Stele sites, features that occur as isolates, in small groups, and as localities with numerous Stele. We provide an overview of the region and its archaeological heritage, and then describe and report on our recent research efforts, which includes preliminary data related to the emergence of these Stele sites, components of their materiality in terms of form, distribution, and stone source, and assessment of charcoal and obsidian recovered from excavations.

Rhizosecretion of Stele-synthesized glucosinolates and their catabolites requires GTR-mediated import in Arabidopsis.
Journal of experimental botany, 2017Co-Authors: Franziska S. Hanschen, Katja Witzel, Sebastian J. Nintemann, Hussam Hassan Nour-eldin, Monika Schreiner, Barbara Ann HalkierAbstract:Casparian strip-generated apoplastic barriers not only control the radial flow of both water and ions but may also constitute a hindrance for the rhizosecretion of Stele-synthesized phytochemicals. Here, we establish root-synthesized glucosinolates (GLS) are in Arabidopsis as a model to study the transport routes of plant-derived metabolites from the site of synthesis to the rhizosphere. Analysing the expression of GLS synthetic genes in the root indicate that the Stele is the major site for the synthesis of aliphatic GLS, whereas indole GLS can be synthesized in both the Stele and the cortex. Sampling root exudates from the wild type and the double mutant of the GLS importers GTR1 and GTR2 show that GTR-mediated retention of Stele-synthesized GLS is a prerequisite for the exudation of both intact GLS and their catabolites into the rhizosphere. The expression of the GTRs inside the Stele, combined with the previous observation that GLS are exported from biosynthetic cells, suggest three possible routes of Stele-synthesized aliphatic GLS after their synthesis: (i) GTR-dependent import to cells symplastically connected to the cortical cells and the rhizosphere; (ii) GTR-independent transport via the xylem to the shoot; and (iii) GTR-dependent import to GLS-degrading myrosin cells at the cortex. The study suggests a previously undiscovered role of the import process in the rhizosecretion of root-synthesized phytochemicals.

Lipid and Sterol Composition of Plasma Membranes Isolated from Stele and Cortex of Maize Roots
Journal of Experimental Botany, 1993Co-Authors: D. S. C. Cowan, David T. Cooke, David T. Clarkson, J. L. HallAbstract:The phospholipid and sterol contents of plasma membranes isolated from Stele and cortex of maize roots were compared. The major sterol present in both tissues was stigmasterol which was found in significantly higher quantities in the cortex (27.4 μg mg -1 membrane protein) compared to the Stele (17.4 μg mg -1 ). Other sterols detected included sitosterol, campesterol and small quantities of cholesterol. The major phospholipids found were phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), with PC more abundant in the Stele

the Stele of sarab e sey khan a recent discovery of a second millennium Stele on the iranian mesopotamian borderland in the western zagros mountains
Journal of Cuneiform Studies, 2018Co-Authors: Aref Biglari, Sajjad Alibaigi, Masoud BeyranvandAbstract:Recent surveys on the eastern hillsides of Bamou Mountain near the current frontiers of Iran and Iraq have led to the discovery of an ancient broken Stele in the area of the Sarab-e Sey (Seyed) Khan spring. The Stele was made from a large slab of limestone that was broken and of which only two fragments have been recovered so far. The remaining pieces of the Stele had a full-size image of a person in a long robe holding a crook in his right hand, undoubtedly a representation of the god Amurru; his left foot rests on the back of a sitting goat while grasping the goat's horns with his left hand. Another, smaller figure stands to the right of the main figure, near his left shoulder, with in front of him carved a star which could be the symbol of Ishtar. The highly damaged nature of the Stele and the absence of an inscription does not allow any precise dating, but it may be proposed that the Stele of Sey Khan dates to the Old Babylonian period.
