The book Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative and Mixed Methods Approaches by Creswell (2014) covers three approaches-qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods. This educational book is informative and illustrative and is equally beneficial for students, teachers and researchers. Readers should have basic knowledge of research for better understanding of this book. There are two parts of the book. Part 1 (chapter 1-4) consists of steps for developing research proposal and part II (chapter 5-10) explains how to develop a research proposal or write a research report. A summary is given at the end of every chapter that helps the reader to recapitulate the ideas. Moreover, writing exercises and suggested readings at the end of every chapter are useful for the readers. Chapter 1 opens with-definition of research approaches and the author gives his opinion that selection of a research approach is based on the nature of the research problem, researchers' experience and the audience of the study. The author defines qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods research. A distinction is made between quantitative and qualitative research approaches. The author believes that interest in qualitative research increased in the latter half of the 20th century. The worldviews, Fraenkel, Wallen and Hyun (2012) and Onwuegbuzie and Leech (2005) call them paradigms, have been explained. Sometimes, the use of language becomes too philosophical and technical. This is probably because the author had to explain some technical terms.

Conducting a well-established research requires deep knowledge about the research designs. Doing research can be likened to jumping into the sea which may transform into a huge ocean if the researcher is not experienced. As a PhD candidate and a novice researcher, I believe that the book "Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative and Mixed Methods Approaches" by J.W. Creswell is a true reference guide for novice researchers since it is the most comprehensive and informative source with its reader-friendly structure.

There are a number of approaches used in this research method design. The purpose of this chapter is to design the methodology of the research approach through mixed types of research techniques. The research approach also supports the researcher on how to come across the research result findings. In this chapter, the general design of the research and the methods used for data collection are explained in detail. It includes three main parts. The first part gives a highlight about the dissertation design. The second part discusses about qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. The last part illustrates the general research framework. The purpose of this section is to indicate how the research was conducted throughout the study periods.

OA available here: https://doi.org/10.1515/za-2024-0005 In this article, we shed new light on the series with the emic title ‘Ancient Sumerian’, previously known from the Late Babylonian ritual texts for the New Year Festival. We first establish a new reading of the title, the key to which lies in a Late Babylonian pseudepigraphic letter. Following that, we present the contents of the series, including the edition of the hitherto unpublished tablet BM 32544+ that according to its colophon belongs to the series. Finally, we discuss the possible purposes of the series in its Late Babylonian context, where ritual in its written form took on an unprecedented role in the temple cult.

In Tecuci, in 1970, a necropolis was discovered, following some excavations for the foundation of the blocks that were built on Gheorghe Petrascu street, in the point called “Grădina lui Tiron”, where ten graves were unearthed. In addition to these, in 1977 and 1999, two more graves were discovered during the construction of some civil works. The necropolis, of the Sântana de Mures-Cerneachov type, presents a simple stratigraphy, the level of residence from the IV century BC, being the only old level. The orientation of the skeletons was around N-S axis, and the deviation can be attributed to the time of day when the burial was made. The funerary inventory from the Tecuci necropolis, “Grădina lui Tiron” point, totals a number of 99 objects, which can be grouped into the following categories: clothing accessories: decorative objects: household objects; glass containers and clay containers. The necropolis of Tecuci, the point, “Grădina lui Tiron”, joins the others discovered so far. through the inventory and the burial rite, The 13 tombs are part of a larger necropolis that is under the current houses of the city of Tecuci and which no longer can be researched. Through the six fibulae, the only dating elements, we can consider that it belonged to a community that lived in the 4th century BC.
