The Neolithic of the Levant (500 Page Book Online) Umm Dabaghiyah Culture Early 6th millennium BC type-site of the Umm Dabaghiyah Culture, the earliest known culture in the northern Iraq plain. The site is small (less than one hectare) but has yielded some interesting architectural remains: long buildings consisting of rows of small cell-like rooms without obvious means of access which are interpreted as communal store houses. Ordinary houses also occur with evidence of living rooms, kitchens and storage rooms. Some wall paintings have been recorded showing onager (wild ass) hunting scenes. The importance of hunting in the economy is clearly indicated by the animal remains; 84 per cent of which are made up of two species of wild animals, gazelle and onager although domesticated sheep, goats, cattle and pigs were also kept. Cereal and pulse remains have been found but because the area is today an arid gypsum salt covered steppe, the excavator Diana Kirkbride has suggested that plant foods were imported (in exchange for animal products such as onager hides). This is one possible explanation but as Umm Dabaghiyah is only just outside the area where rain-fed farming is possible today it may be that slightly different climatic conditions in the 6th millennium BC would have allowed dry farming to be practised then. Pottery is abundant in all the four main phases and includes painted types similar to

    Extractions: Other Archaeological Sites ... The Neolithic of the Levant (500 Page Book Online) Pre-Historic Samarran Culture (5500 - 4800 BC) Samarra is an Islamic town of the second half of the first millennium AD on the Tigris River just north of Baghdad as well as the name of a pre-historic culture ..... The Samarran Culture dated back to 5500 - 4800 BC. The finding of the first significant irrigation at Samarra suggests that there was more investment in the land as far as farming for crops. The setting up of irrigation also showed that the city was a very permanent settlement and that the settlement prospered as a result of the advances that they made ..... Traces were found of pre-historic artifacts: fine painted pottery decorated in dark colored backgrounds with figures of animals - birds - people and complicated looking geometric designs. This type of pottery was first recognized at Samarra but at first was thought to be a southern variant of the Hassunan Culture ; it is now associated mainly with the site of Tell Sawwan It now seems that the Samarran is partly contemporary with the Hassunan but started a bit later and continued somewhat longer with a more southerly focus. It is this Samarran colonization of the

83. Culture Of Impunity? - Newsweek The War On Iraq - MSNBC.com
    Amid the mounting scandal over conditions at Abu Ghraib, Iraqi detainees are telling of other abuses at Americanrun centers.  
    http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4901559/
    
    Extractions: WEB EXCLUSIVE By By Melinda Liu Newsweek May 4 - The efforts at damage control are picking up steam. Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, the man sent to clean up Iraq's U.S. Army-run prisons, today announced that the number of detainees held at the infamous Abu Ghraib prison will be reduced by more than half. And in a bid to counter the growing scandal, he's already banned the use of hoods to cover the heads of detainees during transport; instead "pressure bandages" or goggles will be used to cover prisoners' eyes. Miller, who used to command the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, took over responsibility for Iraq's 14 military-run prisons last month after allegations of abuse perpetrated by U.S. military personnel triggered no less than five separate investigations. But it'll take a lot more to remove the stain of Iraq's current prison abuse scandal. Many Iraqis shudder at the words "Abu Ghraib."  It was Saddam Hussein's most notorious prison, symbol of a regime so vast and so opaque that Iraqis are still sorting out whose corpses wound up in mass graves, and who simply disappeared. When Saddam's guards fled the facility last year, as the U.S. military advanced on Baghdad, they emptied the cells, taking some prisoners with them and killing others on the grounds.

    Extractions: For months on end, seven independent photographers and filmmakers have worked exclusively in Iraq documenting US troops and Iraqi civilians, resistance fighters and child laborers, imprisoned women and incarcerated youths. Using varied media and narrative styles ranging from photojournalism to first person narratives, cinema verite and found photography, Iraq Uncensored photographers present insights and subtleties beyond what daily news reporting can provide. There is a proposal for a group show exhibit by four independent photographers, 3 documentary filmmakers, and a writer/videographer who have been working exclusively in Iraq since before or shortly after the US invasion. They produce thematic, long-term projects. The still photographers are regularly published in a range of major news outlets, such as Newsweek, the New York Times, Time magazine, and many others, though they are each independent and the majority of their work is self-assigned.

    Extractions: 17 June 2005 Use this version to print Send this link by email Email the author A controversy surrounding the detention of a team of private contractors by US marines on May 28 has exposed the sharp tensions being produced by the activities of thousands of mercenaries employed by the Bush administration to help enforce the occupation of Iraq. Exactly what took place is the subject of conflicting claims. What is agreed is that 16 American contractors working for the North Carolina-based Zapata Engineering, along with three Iraqi maintenance workers, were arrested by marines and held in a US-run prison for three days. Mark Schopper, a lawyer for two of the men, told the Charlotte Observer The web site CorpWatch Given the overwhelming evidence of the torture of Iraqi detainees at the hands of US soldiers, the allegations ring true. As one of the contractors, Rick Blanchard, an ex-marine and Florida police officer, told the Los Angeles Times A lawless army of contractors At the same time, however, the military allegations against the contractors also ring true. There is growing evidence that private mercenaries act as a law-unto-themselves in Iraq and, in particular, fire upon civilians. The general policy is to shoot first and ask questions later.

    Extractions: Brent Haglund and Thomas Still Brent Haglund and Thomas Still believe that the regulatory actions of the 1960s and 1970s were necessary medicine to help cure a careless society. But they also argue that over the years, the cure became something of a disease itself. What began as a check on environmental abuses grew into a command-and-control system that created a widening gulf between people and the natural world that their daily lives are part of. Part situation report, part manifesto, Hands-On Environmentalism shows that it is possible to reach voluntary, enduring solutions to pressing environmental problems without heavy-handed governmental intervention.

    Extractions: Marvin Wingfield Director of Education and Outreach HISTORY AND CULTURE OF IRAQ The Cradle of Civilization The area of what is modern Iraq was the birthplace one of the earliest human civilizations. A long series of literate cultures, cities, kingdoms and empires emerged in the Fertile Crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. When Alexander the Great entered the gates of Babylon at the head of his armies, he was an upstart, while Iraq was the home of what was already an ancient civilization. Arab-Islamic Civilization: The Center of Medieval World Civilization Baghdad became the capital of the Abbasid Empire in the 8th century. This cosmopolitan commercial city was a famous center of culture and learning. It was regarded as the intellectual center of the world, standing at the crossroads of the trade routes between Europe, Byzantium, the Middle East, India and China. Arab, Greek and Persian cultures mingled, and philosophy, science, medicine, literature and the arts flourished in the universities and the court. Arabic became the primary language and most of the people gradually converted to Islam. Christians and Jews lived with Muslims in relative harmony as worshipers of the one God. The Empire reached from the borders of China to the Mediterranean and northern Africa. Modern Iraq: Society and Culture
