Oh, a couple things I forgot to ask about (especially for CCJ)

In Spain: A History in Art by Bradley Smith, on page 88 there'a a
painting of men playing at dice. Out of six guys, one of them has a
possible fingertips-dipped on both hands, although they may be
smudges, but one guy I'm sure about a dip. You only see one of his
hands. In what situation would two mena have finger dips? I
thought, maybe a groom, but would other members of a wedding party
get dips?

Also, in The Ahambra by Desmond Stewart on page 34 there's a picture
of a statue which is described thusly: "In the roll call of cultures
that washed across the Iberian peninsula, Islam is not alone in
stemming from the eastern Mediterranean. The statue known as the
Lady of Baza is graphic evidence of another, earlier one emanating
not from Arabia but from Tyre, spreading its influence to Granada-
where the statue was found- by way of the Phoenician outpost at
Carthage. This statue, a funerary urn, is patterned after the
Carthaginian deity Tanit and dates from the fourth century B.C."
I don't know if you've seen this, but it pretty much holds your
entire early History lecture together. Neat, huh? :)
