    La Préhistoire du Jura et l’Europe néolithique en 100 mots-clés (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Franche-Comté
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Trained in ethnoarchaeology in New Guinea, the authors offer an original reading of the historical trajectory of the first farming communities between 5300 and 2400 BC, where the micro-regions - here the Jura and the Saône plains - were deeply integrated into complex networks for the circulation of sign objects and ideas. On the scale of Western Europe, these long-distance transfers were supported by social competition, the display of inequalities, and religious imagination. 100 keywords from the archaeological vocabulary allow us to explore different social interpretations hidden behind the objects and behaviours of Neolithic populations.

    Tinqueux « la Haubette » (Marne, France) (2022)
    Archaeopress Publishing | Archaeopress Publishing Ltd
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The Neolithic site of Tinqueux ‘la Haubette’ (Marne) dated to the ‘Blicquy/Villeneuve-Saint-Germain’ (5000-4700 cal. BC) is composed of five houses, further series of pits and the remains of an oven. An abundance of finds has allowed us to explore a number of themes in greater detail. The first concerns the potential singularity of the site due to its very easterly location within the BVSG area of expansion and its place within the broader chronological sequence. The second is the nature of the settlement within the network of ‘producer’ and ‘receiver’ sites which characterises the BVSG. The third theme that we focus on is the provenance of raw materials, and the fourth one is the internal settlement chronology. The analyses carried out on the settlement structure and on the archaeological finds reveal hitherto unknown facets of the BVSG culture, like refining the chronological sequence for this period in its regional facies; and establishing a particularly valuable periodisation for the site itself. Comparison with nearby and distant sites has helped us to understand the relationship of this settlement to other contemporary sites. It reveals that the site looked to the east and that there was a strong cultural dynamic which was expressed by varied networks of influence and circulation, particularly for the acquisition of raw materials and finished products.

    Les souterrains médiévaux du Limousin (2022)
    Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Souterrains have in the past been the object of both varied and fanciful inter­pretations. Considered at different times to be places of refuge or worship, they have been attribued to periods ranging from pre-history to the French Revolu­tion. The present study, first written as a doctoral thesis, examines94 souterrains in the Limousin region and analyses their geographical and historical significance. Research has included excavation of the Bois-du-Mont souterrain at Bessines-sur-Gartempe in the Haute-Vienne depart­ment. The result of the study proves that these underground chambers are related to rural settlement during IXth to XIIIth centuries. Archaeology provides firm evidence for when these structures were tunnelled, occupied and abandoned. The disciplined methodological approach of this work is exemplary in a field where scientific analysis has so far been vir­tually non-existent.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Situated in the North of France, Bettencourt-Saint- Ouen is an open-air Middle Palaeolithic site, most probably used as a hunters’ stopping place. Five successive phases of occupation have been excavated, covering a period of 40.000 years Study of the site has revealed fondamental data lot our understanding of human occupation, as well as important informations on environmental changes to the site during the final glacial period (from the Eemian Interglacial to the lower Weichselian Pleniglacial). Distribution of finds at Bettencourt, coupled with the technology and typology of the site’s lithic industries, point to a continuity in systems of production and cultural traditions from 112,000 to 68,000 BP.

    The Severan Buildings of Lepcis Magna (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The buildings erected in his native city by the Roman emperor Septimius Severus are amongst the most impressive and best-preserved in the Roman world. Because of their unique state of preservation, they give an unparalleled insight into what an architect with an imperial commission could do, when he had the building-materials and technical expertise of the entire empire at his disposal.〈br/>〈br/>The buildings excavated by Italian teams between the two World Wars were examined in detail by Ward-Perkins between 1948 and 1953. The study was never completed in his lifetime, though the drawings and much of the text existed at least in draft form. The present publication puts these in the public domain, together with Ward-Perkins' authoritative insights into the process by which such a grand project was executed.

    Le sanctuaire de Corent (Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne) (2022)
    CNRS Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Depuis son haut plateau, l’oppidum de Corent domine le pays arverne, patrie de Vercingétorix et, avant lui, des richissimes et mythiques rois celtes Bituit et Luern. Ville gauloise quasi inconnue il y a vingt ans, capitale présumée de ce territoire qui correspond à l’Auvergne actuelle, Corent a livré les structures d’un imposant sanctuaire d’un genre tout à fait nouveau. Prolongement et aboutissement des campagnes de fouilles et d’études, cet ouvrage présente les vestiges et le mobilier retrouvés dans le sanctuaire, en fait l’analyse et en livre les premières interprétations raisonnées. Après un exposé du contexte géographique et historiographique des fouilles, trois chapitres abordent dans l’ordre chronologique les traces d’occupation antérieures à la fondation du sanctuaire, les structures archéologiques de ses différents états d’occupation et son évolution à l’époque romaine. L’ensemble des mobiliers associés (métalliques, céramiques, vitreux, fauniques ou lithiques) est présenté dans un chapitre regroupant une quinzaine de contributions de spécialistes, qui apportent les éléments d’analyse nécessaires à la compréhension du site sur un plan typo-chronologique et fonctionnel. Un dernier chapitre de synthèse aborde successivement les caractéristiques architecturales du sanctuaire et la fonction de ses aménagements, les pratiques sacrificielles et festives, mais aussi militaires, civiques et évergétiques mises en évidence par les dépositions de mobilier, ainsi que l’identité de la ou des divinité(s) honorée(s) et des protagonistes du culte. L’analyse des interactions entre le sanctuaire et son environnement immédiat permet enfin de repositionner le site dans son contexte urbain, des origines de l’oppidum de Corent à son abandon durant l’Antiquité tardive.

    Lectus eburneus (2022)
    Publications du Centre Jean Bérard
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The funerary beds of the Roman period come from an ancient tradition, whose origins, beyond the Greeks, can be traced to the earliest historical periods, in Egypt and in the Near East. Since the 19th century, excavations have produced many vestiges, most of them dating back to between the 2nd century BC up to the 2nd century AD; they echo pieces found in domestic contexts which, though less numerous, allow interesting comparisons and a better understanding of the topic. The large variety of the identified models led to develop a detailed typology of these forms, from the most ancient ones up to those of the Roman period. The publications significantly changed our knowledge of the beds adorned with bronze as well as those adorned with bone carvings. By contrast, instances of ivory beds are extremely rare, whether it be in Italy or in the whole Roman world. Thus, the discovery at Cumae of the vestiges of three ivory beds, adorned with this precious material, serves as essential and unique testimony. The fragments were mixed with the bones of the deceased and placed in urns, themselves located in important mausoleums. Their remarkable quality and meticulous workmanship, clearly visible upon some pieces, which survived the destruction caused by the cremation, as well as the iconographic staged patterns, testify to the conspicuous intentions of their owners, anxious to show their social status, their wealth and their virtues to the living. The contextualization and close study of these three beds, along with a comparison with the known examples, led for each of them to an attempt at a graphic restoration, as a prerequisite for an iconographical and iconological analysis. The achieved results, correlated with the mausoleums where they were found, led to a much more precise understanding of those beds and of the prominent position they enjoyed at the funeral ceremony.

    Archéologie du bâti. Aujourd’hui et demain (2022)
    ARTEHIS Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Depuis les années 1980, une approche nouvelle s’est imposée autour de la construction en reprenant le principe archéologique de la stratigraphie des unités et des faits. Plusieurs rencontres depuis 2001 ont pu témoigner de ces avancées et il devenait nécessaire de confronter tous les acteurs concernés dans un colloque international. Cette archéologie dépasse les études architecturales traditionnelles qui reposaient essentiellement sur les formes et les grandes étapes de changement visibles à l’œil depuis le sol. Le bâti apparaît aujourd’hui non comme uniquement un ensemble de formes inscrites dans l’histoire mais comme une structure complexe toujours en renouvellement. La construction n’est plus celle d’un type entrant dans des cases mais celle d’un lieu aux fonctions et aux usages ayant évolué avec le temps. Sa permanence comme sa disparition nous interroge.

    Les maisons gallo-romaines d’Ambrussum (Villetelle-Hérault) (2022)
    Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Relay-point on a roman road, the oppidum of Ambrussum is a major site concerning conditions and aspects of the romanisation in the region of Nîmes. Two houses with internal courtyards were already known and dated from the first century AD and form an insula of secteur I. Research conducted from 1976 to 1980 in secteur IV revealed a house of the same type with its dependancies. Following an analysis based on the conditions of implantation, occupation and abandonment, their architecture and distribution of the finds, these constructions appear to be an original expression of gallo-roman habitations. Situated in their local and regional contexts, they reflect the process of urbanisation and social differenciation, and of the village type exploitation existence.

    Archéologie et fouilles en contexte difficile (2023)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Archaeology and excavation in difficult contexts are the subject of this 16th volume of Archéo.doct, which stems from and completes the exchanges held during the 16th doctoral day of ED 112 at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne in 2021. The twenty articles deal with archaeological excavation (preventive and programmed) in the face of natural, anthropic, cultural and administrative obstacles encountered by archaeologists. They illustrate and enrich the discussions initiated during the study day, giving each author the space to freely present his or her issues and adaptations in the face of difficulties that are rarely mentioned during meetings between archaeology and cultural heritage professionals, yet are omnipresent in archaeological practice. The main challenge of this publication lies in expressing an unspoken fact: all archaeologists face difficulties, which they tend to overcome by adapting and producing technical, human and scientific solutions. This volume presents, in selected thematic sections, the different points of view of a number of archaeologists, from the Antilles to the Indus Basin, from the wet valleys of the Escaut to the industrial wastes of the Val de Marne, not forgetting excavations in inhospitable contexts, in times of war, intensive urbanism or low political interest.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This is the publication of the proceedings of the 33rd AFEAF symposium held in Caen from the 20th to the 24th of May 2009. Like the symposium, this book is divided in two parts. The first part, with its 17 contributions, deals with the current knowledge about the Iron Age in Lower Normandy. An important renewal of the documentation concerning this region allows a better understanding of the occupational processes and territorial organization existing throughout Protohistory. This first part also includes several summary reports on rural settlements, fortified sites as well as finds. The second part of the book, with 22 contributions, deals with the subject of death and funerary practices during the 5th to 1st centuries BC. The subject was discussed focussing on a chosen number of thoughts as to make it easier to compare between different regions. Various summary reports allow an overview of this specialized topic throughout Gaul with perspectives from other regions of Celtic Europe.

    Description: These highly varied studies, spanning the world, demonstrate how much modern analyses of microscopic traces on artifacts are altering our perceptions of the past. Ranging from early humans to modern kings, from ancient Australian spears or Mayan pots to recent Maori cloaks, the contributions demonstrate how starches, raphides, hair, blood, feathers, resin and DNA have become essential elements in archaeology's modern arsenal for reconstructing the daily, spiritual, and challenging aspects of ancient lives and for understanding human evolution. The book is a fitting tribute to Tom Loy, the pioneer of residue studies and gifted teacher who inspired and mentored these exciting projects.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Ce deuxième numéro de la série Rabinal et la vallée moyenne du Chixoy, publié en 1980 dans le cadre des cahiers de la RCP 500, comprend quatre articles organisés en deux volets : l’un archéologique, l’autre historico-ethnologique. L’article de Marie-France Fauvet-Berthelot, basé sur les fouilles qu’elle a dirigées en 1979 et 1980, apporte des données nouvelles sur l’artisanat au Postclassique tardif. Alain Ichon étudie quant à lui une collection de 40 sceaux d’argile, retenant l'hypothèse de leur usage rituel, mais purement domestique, à l’échelon familial. Les deux articles suivants concernent l’histoire religieuse et le fonctionnement des confréries de culte à Rabinal. Nicole Percheron analyse les conditions dans lesquelles fut menée la “conquête spirituelle” de la Tierra de Guerra, qui allait devenir celle de la Verapaz. Alain Breton mène une description systématique de la fête de San Pedro Apóstol, patron de l’un des quatre quartiers du village de Rabinal, en tant que “fait social total” exemplaire.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Organized through the initiative of the Ministry of Culture and Communication, the symposium “Lascaux and Preservation Issues in Subterranean Environments” was held in Paris on February 26 and 27, 2009 under the chairmanship of Jean Clottes. It brought together nearly three hundred participants from seventeen countries with the goal of confronting research and interventions conducted in Lascaux Cave since 2001 with the experiences gained in other countries in the domain of preservation in subterranean environments. Twelve presentations addressed questions related to disciplines such as hydrogeology, climatology and microbiology in relation to the protection and valorization of decorated caves. The talks were followed by debates allowing the experts and all other participants to freely express themselves. This volume, which constitutes the proceedings of this symposium, is composed of the studies presented during the sessions and full transcriptions of the debates. It provides both a synthesis of the conservation activities realized at Lascaux between 2001 and 2009 and the state of research and the conditions of the cave as of 2009.

    Les monnaies de fouille du monde grec (VIe-Ier s. a.C.) (2023)
    Ausonius Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Ce livre donne un état des récentes découvertes de monnaies de fouille en Méditerranée orientale dont celles faites en Égypte lors des fouilles sous-marines dans le delta du Nil en Égypte ou en Grèce sur les sites royaux de Macédoine. Une grande partie de ce matériel est inédite. L’ambition des auteurs est d’abord méthodologique : les monnaies de fouille sont des monnaies principalement perdues, souvent de faible valeur ou hors d’usage (décri, monnaies modifiées, fausses monnaies). L’objectif classique de leur étude est de fournir des marqueurs chronologiques aux archéologues, d’enrichir les corpus monétaires ou d’étudier la circulation. En réalité, elles offrent bien d’autres possibilités à la recherche (étude des phases de circulation et de décri, des pratiques monétaires, histoire économique, histoire des pratiques sociales, etc.), qu’elles soient trouvées en groupe ou isolées, dès lors qu’elles sont remises en contexte archéologique, de concert avec les autres artefacts, notamment céramiques.

    Le gisement paléolithique moyen de la grotte des Cèdres (Var) (2022)
    Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Situated in South-Western Provence in the massif of Sainte-Baume, some thirty kilometres from Marseille, the Grotte des Cèdres (Var) was first excavated during the 1950s. In 1987 re-excavation took place and comprised the reexamination of conserved standing stratification. This re-examination permitted the identification of two human occupation levels, both of short periods, situated in a cool environment at the end of the Middle Pleistocene. With the identification of a new lithic industry. the discovery of the largest quantity of Tahr Rissien remains in Europe belonging to a new species, and the determination of new sub-species of Rodents and Rabbit, this site is now to be placed amongst those of major importance for the Mediterranean Europe, which is further increased by the presence of a human remain.

    Artisanat et savoir-faire : archéologie des techniques (2022)
    Éditions de la Sorbonne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: From the smallest fragments to megalithic constructions, and through ceramic, metal or bone, the study of artefacts and ecofacts has greatly developed since the beginnings of archaeology by proposing innovative methods focused on the reconstruction of material and/or immaterial knowledge and know-how, technical gestures and the history of craftsmen and their production. It is precisely in this perspective that the 14th doctoral day is being held. The papers presented during this day, gathered in the present volume, focused on the restitution of different “chaînes opératoires”, rather complete or focused on one specific aspect, as well as on the methods and methodologies developed to access them, such as experimental, ethnoarchaeological or technological approaches. The richness of this theme rests, inter alia, on the diversity of the topics covered, from metallurgy to agricultural techniques, and from construction techniques to everyday objects.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Laying the Foundations, which developed out of the British Museum’s ‘Iraq Scheme’ archaeological training programme, covers the core components for putting together and running an archaeological field programme. The focus is on practicality. Individual chapters address background research, the use of remote sensing, approaches to surface collection, excavation methodologies, survey with total (and multi) stations, use of a dumpy level, context classification, on-site recording, databases and registration, environmental protocols, conservation, photography, illustration, post-excavation site curation and report writing. While the manual is oriented to the archaeology of Iraq, the approaches are no less applicable to the Middle East more widely, an aim hugely facilitated by the open-source distribution of translations into Arabic and Kurdish.

    Clachtoll (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Clachtoll broch is one of the most spectacular Iron Age settlements on the northern mainland of Scotland. When it became clear that the structure was threatened by coastal erosion, community heritage group Historic Assynt launched a major program of conservation and excavation works designed to secure the vulnerable structure and recover the archaeological evidence of its occupation and use. The resulting excavation provided evidence of a long and complex history of construction and rebuilding, with the final, middle Iron Age occupation phase ending in a catastrophic fire and collapse of the tower by the early years of the first century AD. The internal deposits span perhaps 50 years of the brochsquo;s final occupation and were remarkably well preserved, with no evidence for secondary re-use or disturbance after the fire. As a result, the excavation provides a remarkable snapshot of life in Iron Age Scotland, with an artifact assemblage attesting to daily agricultural life as well as long-range contacts that sets the broch within a wider Atlantic community. Specialist analysis of the artifactual and palaeoenvironmental evidence coupled with detailed analysis of the structure in its local geographical context combine to provide a major new contribution to the archaeology of north-west Scotland, with wider implications for our understanding of late prehistoric society in northern Britain.This report comprises the results of the archaeological investigations at Clachtoll, compiled by a team of archaeologists and specialists from AOC Archaeology Group, and brings together evidence from a range of specialist analyses as well as environmental and landscape investigations.

    Archaeological Perspectives on Conflict and Warfare in Australia and the Pacific (2022)
    ANU Press | ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: When James Boswell famously lamented the irrationality of war in 1777, he noted the universality of conflict across history and across space – even reaching what he described as the gentle and benign southern ocean nations. This volume discusses archaeological evidence of conflict from those southern oceans, from Palau and Guam, to Australia, Vanuatu and Tonga, the Marquesas, Easter Island and New Zealand. The evidence for conflict and warfare encompasses defensive earthworks on Palau, fortifications on Tonga, and intricate pa sites in New Zealand. It reports evidence of reciprocal sacrifice to appease deities in several island nations, and skirmishes and smaller scale conflicts, including in Easter Island. This volume traces aspects of colonial-era conflict in Australia and frontier battles in Vanuatu, and discusses depictions of World War II materiel in the rock art of Arnhem Land. Among the causes and motives discussed in these papers are pressure on resources, the ebb and flow of significant climate events, and the significant association of conflict with culture contact. The volume, necessarily selective, eclectic and wide-ranging, includes an incisive introduction that situates the evidence persuasively in the broader scholarship addressing the history of human warfare.

    Description: Who were the inhabitants of the castle, the main center of power during the Middle-Ages? What um their life style? These are some of the many questions to which this Collective study hopes to reply. Confronted by archaeological and written evidence, unusually treated here as sciences auxiliary to archaeology we are offered here an unusual lieu of a sparsly inhabited castle. This study is centred on the region of the Rhône-Alpes with several incursions for comparison in Alsace, Spain and in Poland, their objective goes far outside the regional limits and should provoke the interest of all archaeologists and medieval historians.

    Le plateau de Mondeville (Calvados) (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: In the 1980s and early 1990s, the municipalities of Mondeville, Grentheville, Cormelles-le-Royal and Giberville in the Calvados area of Normandy were the focus for a vast campaign of "préventive" (rescue) archeology. A few years after the close of the excavations, a considerable body of findings has amassed. By allowing us to consider areas several hundred hectares in extent, the research presented in the present volume paves the way for a full-scale approach to territorial archeology, from the emergence of the first farming communities to the metalworkers of the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age — a period of almost 5,000 years. We can observe the inhabitants settling, evolving slowly and progressively shaping the occupation of the plateau. By highlighting the relationships between Normandy and Brittany, the Paris Basin and the British Isles, the study enhances our understanding of the development and diffusion of the various regional cultures and sheds light on the pre- and protohistory of this part of the Caen Plain.

    Sedentism and Mobility in a Social Landscape (2022)
    University of Arizona Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Research on hunting and gathering peoples has given anthropologists a long-standing conceptual framework of sedentism and mobility based on seasonality and ecological constraints. This work challenges that position by arguing that mobility is a socially negotiated activity and that neither mobility nor sedentism can be understood outside of its social context. Drawing on research in the Mesa Verde region that focuses on communities and households, Mark Varien expands the social, spatial, and temporal scales of archaeological analysis to propose a new model for population movement. Rather than viewing sedentism and mobility as opposing concepts, he demonstrates that they were separate strategies that were simultaneously employed. Households moved relatively frequently--every one or two generations--but communities persisted in the same location for much longer. Varien shows that individuals and households negotiated their movements in a social landscape structured by these permanent communities. Varien's research clearly demonstrates the need to view agriculturalists from a perspective that differs from the hunter-gatherer model. This innovative study shows why current explanations for site abandonment cannot by themselves account for residential mobility and offers valuable insights into the archaeology of small-scale agriculture.

    Le fait urbain en Sicile hellénistique (2023)
    Publications du Centre Jean Bérard
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Le fait urbain en Sicile hellénistique s’insère entre les grandes cités siciliennes d’époque classique, elles-mêmes héritières des expériences coloniales archaïques, et la mainmise de Rome, avènement d’un gouvernement centralisé de l’île. Son étude a souvent été l’objet de vives polémiques dans la communauté scientifique à propos de la chronologie et des implications socioculturelles de certains éléments marquants du paysage urbain : édifices, plans d’urbanisme et aménagements privés. Le but de ce livre est d’en proposer une synthèse en le considérant dans son ensemble et en versant au débat des données inédites provenant de la Mégara Hyblaea hellénistique. L’enquête montre notamment comment les populations de Sicile hellénistique ont amélioré leur confort et leur bien-être domestiques, au regard d’autres endroits de la Méditerranée. Cette tendance de fond se perçoit avec l’apparition dans les habitations siciliennes des premières latrines et salles de bains ainsi que par une ornementation croissante des salles dites « de réception ». Les plans des habitations ont évolué de pair avec ces nouveaux aménagements : ainsi voit-on apparaître à côté des habitats traditionnels « à cour centrale » de nouvelles planimétries telles que les cours à péristyle et les plans « à deux cours ». L’urbanisme des villes de Sicile hellénistique, c’est-à-dire l’organisation planifiée de l’espace urbain, a moins connu ces innovations et présente le plus souvent une nette continuité avec des principes édictés à l’époque classique, voire archaïque. L’ensemble des données archéologiques ainsi revues et remises en perspectives permet de réfléchir à une nouvelle approche de la Sicile aux IVe et IIIe siècles av. J.-C. C’est par cet état des connaissances et ces réflexions que le présent livre entend proposer sa contribution à l’étude du fait urbain en Sicile hellénistique.

    Chapter 10 Trajectories of Urbanism in the Angkorian World (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | The Angkorian World | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The Angkorian World explores the history of Southeast Asia’s largest ancient state from the first to mid-second millennium CE. Chapters by leading scholars combine evidence from archaeology, texts, and the natural sciences to introduce the Angkorian state, describe its structure, and explain its persistence over more than six centuries. Comprehensive and accessible, this book will be an indispensable resource for anyone studying premodern Asia. The volume’s first of six sections provides historical and environmental contexts and discusses data sources and the nature of knowledge production. The next three sections examine the anthropogenic landscapes of Angkor (agrarian, urban, and hydraulic), the state institutions that shaped the Angkorian state, and the economic foundations on which Angkor operated. Part V explores Angkorian ideologies and realities, from religion and nation to identity. The volume’s last part reviews political and aesthetic Angkorian legacies in an effort to explain why the idea of Angkor remains central to its Cambodian descendants. Maps, graphics, and photographs guide readers through the content of each chapter. Chapters in this volume synthesise more than a century of work at Angkor and in the regions it influenced. The Angkorian World will satisfy students, researchers, academics, and the knowledgeable layperson who seeks to understand how this great Angkorian Empire arose and functioned in the premodern world.

    Archaeology and Environment in Northumberland (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Eventful, influential and absorbing, the early history of Northumberland is a fascinating story that has rarely been brought together under one cover. In this authoritative historical account, the authors bring to bear a huge quantity of old and new data and craft it into an in-depth synthesis. The authors deliver this history in chronological order from a perspective that places human activity and environment at its core. The narrative extends from the Palaeolithic through to, and including, the Anglo-Saxon period. This enormous sweep of history is supported by a robust radiocarbon chronology, with all available dates for the region brought together and calibrated against the most recent calibration curves for the first time. The geographic focus of the volume is North Northumberland but the narrative frequently extends to cover the whole county and occasionally further afield into neighbouring areas so as to deal with key topics at an appropriate geographic scale and to take account of important information from nearby areas. This second volume in the Till-Tweed monograph series follows on from the first volume, Managing Archaeological Landscapes in Northumberland , which provided a considerable quantity of new field data, in addition to presenting a landscape management methodology based around the "landform element" approach.

    An Archaeology of Institutional Confinement (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The archaeological assemblage from the Hyde Park Barracks is one of the largest, most comprehensive and best preserved collections of artefacts from any 19th-century institution in the world. Concealed for up to 160 years in the cavities between floorboards and ceilings, the assemblage is a unique archaeological record of institutional confinement, especially of women. The underfloor assemblage dates to the period 1848 to 1886, during which a female Immigration Depot and a Government Asylum for Infirm and Destitute Women occupied the second and third floors of the Barracks. Over the years the women discarded and swept beneath the floor thousands of clothing and textile fragments, tobacco pipes, religious items, sewing equipment, paper scraps and numerous other objects, many of which rarely occur in typical archaeological deposits. These items are presented in detail in this book, and provide unique insight into the private lives of young female migrants and elderly destitute women, most of whom will never be known from historical records.

    The Mote of Mark (2022)
    Oxbow Books | Oxbow Books
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The Mote of Mark is a low boss of granite rising from forty-five metres above the eastern shore of Rough Firth, where the Urr Water enters the Solway, between the villages of Kippford and Rockcliffe. The summit comprises a central hollow between two raised areas of rock and was formerly defended by a stone and timber rampart enclosing one third of an acre. The Mote of Mark appears to have first attracted the attention of antiquaries in the late eighteenth century, and first assumed national importance with Alexander Curle's major work in 1913. After the interruption of the First World War, the site was left largely alone until it was re-excavated in the 1970s. These excavations, in 1973 and '79 were designed to answer three specific questions: How many phases of activity are represented in the structural history of the defences? How many phases of activity are represented by the evidence for Early Medieval metalworking and occupation? And, how does the evidence of occupation within the defences relate to the structural history of the defences? This book presents the results of the excavations and their interpretation within the framework of these questions.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In the late Iron Age, the northwest of Gaul is divided into several independent cities. In the framework of this archaeological investigation, eight of them were studied between the Channel and the Atlantic coasts. Contrary to what researchers have long admitted, this synthesis, outcome of a doctoral thesis, highlights the full integration of these western regions into the social processes that mark the end of the Iron Age in Celtic Europe. These processes lead to the development of urbanism and the structuring of territories between the 3th and 1st centuries BC. The approach consists in analyzing the forms and functions of urban areas, but also in studying the religious spaces (sanctuaries), the hillforts and the aristocratic rural settlements. Nowadays, this extensive data compilation makes it possible to reason on the economic, even administrative, links existing between these various types of sites. Lastly, it allows you to reflect about the social structuring of the cities and the evolution of their organizations until the Early Roman Empire.

    Pottery Making and Communities During the 5th Millennium BCE in Fars Province, Southwestern Iran (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This book explores pottery making and communities during the Bakun period (c. 5000 – 4000 BCE) in the Kur River Basin, Fars province, southwestern Iran, through the analysis of ceramic materials collected at Tall-e Jari A, Tall-e Gap, and Tall-e Bakun A & B. Firstly, it reconsiders the stratigraphy and radiocarbon dates of the four sites by reviewing the descriptions of excavation trenches, then presents a new chronological relationship between the sites. The book sets out diachronic changes in the the Bakun pottery quantitatively, namely the increase of black-on-buff ware and the gradual shift of vessel forms. It also presents analyses of pottery-making techniques, painting skills, petrography, and geochemistry and clarifies minor changes in the chaînes opératoires and major changes in painting skill. Finally, the book discusses the organisation of pottery production from a relational perspective. It concludes that the more fixed community of pottery making imposed longer apprenticeship periods and that social inequality also increased.

    Islands of Inquiry (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This collection makes a substantial contribution to several highly topical areas of archaeological inquiry. Many of the papers present new and innovative research into the processes of maritime colonisation, processes that affect archaeological contexts from islands to continents. Others shift focus from process to the archaeology of maritime places from the Bering to the Torres Straits, providing highly detailed discussions of how living by and with the sea is woven into all elements of human life from subsistence to trade and to ritual. Of equal importance are more abstract discussions of islands as natural places refashioned by human occupation, either through the introduction of new organisms or new systems of production and consumption. These transformation stories gain further texture (and variety) through close examinations of some of the more significant consequences of colonisation and migration, particularly the creation of new cultural identities. Afinal set of papers explores the ways in which the techniques of archaeological science have provided insights into the fauna of islands and the human history of such places. Islands of Inquiry highlights the importance of an archaeologically informed history of landmasses in the oceans and seas of the world.

    Sourcing Prehistoric Ceramics at Chodistaas Pueblo, Arizona (2022)
    University of Arizona Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: For decades archaeologists have used pottery to reconstruct the lifeways of ancient populations. It has become increasingly evident, however, that to make inferences about prehistoric economic, social, and political activities through the patterning of ceramic variation, it is necessary to determine the location where the vessels were made. Through detailed analysis of manufacturing technology and design styles as well as the use of modern analytical techniques such as neutron activation analysis, Zedeño here demonstrates a broadly applicable methodology for identifying local and nonlocal ceramics.

    Les fortifications endogenes au Senegal Oriental (17ème – 19ème siecle) (2023)
    BAR Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This book studies the archaeological remains of the endogenous fortifications of eastern Senegal during the Atlantic slave trade. In the first part, it deals with generalities by dealing with the determinants of the establishment of fortifications in West Africa. Following a proposed classification of endogenous West African fortifications, it gives an overview of the different types of fortifications present from Senegal to Cameroon. In the second part, it presents the military and political history of the state entities on the left bank of the Falémé (the Fulani kingdom of Boundou, and the Malinké kingdoms of Dantila, Sirimana, and Beledougou), as well as the defensive structures that have formed the basis of this story. As much as possible, each ruin of fortifications is studied under an archaeological and historical approach. Finally, the book examines the place of fortifications in the history of West Africa and their value as tangible cultural heritage.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This work presents the findings of research conducted from 1988 to 1993 near the étang de Berre. On the basis of systematic surveying, soundings and the excavation of a Gallo - Roman establishment,F Trément situates the major sites of Saint-Blaise and the Fossæ Marianæ in a globally and dynamically perceived space. Using earth and life sciences (geomorphology, sedimentology, palynology…). and with recourse to texts and iconography, the archaeologist broadens his focus, to encompass the landscape in its entirety. This microregion is characterised by numerous closed depressions, which explain the high population density during the Neolithic, the Iron Age and in Antiquity, and constitute sedimentary records of the evolution of the surroundings. The author seeks to understand how the successive waterside communities adapted to this shifting and harsh environment, how they appropriated the space and set about exploiting it, more or less consciously, leaving their mark, more or less enduring.

    Description: Construction of the northern TGV line resulted in the rescue excavation of Riencourt-lès-Bapaume. For the first time, it was possible in excavate a Middle Palaeolithic open air site on an area of 10,000 m2. The preliminary contributions brought together in this volume represent analysis completed on short notice using samples drawn from abundant lithic material (approximately 86,000 pieces). The archaeological levels dispersed in the lœssic sequence of the first part of the last glacial, have yielded lithic artifacts which can be assigned to many industries which illustrate the complexity of the Middle Paleolithic. The lithic assemblage of level CA demonstrates the presence of the production of Levallois flakes and another for the production of blades. The functional analysis have shown that both flake and blade reduction technologies are associated with the specific tool functions.

    Description: The Seine-Yonne sector occupies a special place in our knowledge of Neolithic societies. Although an interface between the southern and north-eastem branches, it is also the exclusive preserve of chalk flint. Applying the "technological system" concept, the author seeks to identify the skills levels of the flint knappers, asks whether expert knappers existed, and explores the spatial breakdown of the operational chain and the methods of acquiring and distributing raw materials in order to address the question of the socio-economic organization of flint tool production. Her exploration is based on the study of twelve reference series comprising over 100.000 flint artifacts in a multivariate analysis making use, among other approaches, of cladistics, the first time this technique has ever been applied to this field. By systematically referring to anthropological and historical questions, this book constitutes an important contri­bution to the study of the development of Neolithic communities across Europe.

    Ancestral Landscapes of the Pueblo World (2022)
    University of Arizona Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The eastern Pueblo heartland, located in the northern Rio Grande country of New Mexico, has fascinated archaeologists since the 1870s. In Ancestral Landscapes of the Pueblo World, James Snead uses an exciting new approach— landscape archaeology—to understand ancestral Pueblo communities and the way the people consciously or unconsciously shaped the land around them. Snead provides detailed insight into ancestral Puebloan cultures and societies using an approach he calls “contextual experience,” employing deep mapping and community-scale analysis. This strategy goes far beyond the standard archaeological approaches, using historical ethnography and contemporary Puebloan perspectives to better understand how past and present Pueblo worldviews and meanings are imbedded in the land. Snead focuses on five communities in the Pueblo heartland—Burnt Corn, T’obimpaenge, Tsikwaiye, Los Aguajes, and Tsankawi—using the results of intensive archaeological surveys to discuss the changes that occurred in these communities between AD 1250 and 1500. He examines the history of each area, comparing and contrasting them via the themes of “provision,” “identity,” and “movement,” before turning to questions regarding social, political, and economic organization. This revolutionary study thus makes an important contribution to landscape archaeology and explains how the Precolumbian Pueblo landscape was formed.

    Place and Memory (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This volume is concerned with the investigation of three complexes of prehistoric ceremonial monuments in the immediate environs of Dumfries in the south-west of Scotland, conducted between 1994 and 1998. These were the Pict's Knowe henge, the Holywood cursus complex, and the post alignments/cursus at Holm. The field research was designed in such a way as to recognise that prehistoric monuments often have complex and individual sequences of construction and use, while also acknowledging that detailed studies of particular sites and local contexts will ultimately advance our understanding of monumentality in prehistoric Europe. The three sites of the Pict's Knowe, Holywood and Holm have proved especially helpful in addressing questions of how particular places maintained their importance over long periods of time. In each instance the location was characterised by features which possess a high degree of archaeological visibility. In the former case it was the upstanding earthwork of the bank and ditch that identified the site as a henge monument, while Holywood and Holm were discovered through aerial photography. Each of the sites investigated had complex sequences of development, in which the structural elements that were recognised prior to fieldwork were not necessarily the most important or the most long-lived. This book considers the details of the excavated features, environmental and artefactual evidence, as well as more general concerns. The first part of the volume concentrates on the Pict's Knowe, while the second looks at the more spatially and typologically related sites of Holywood and Holm.

    Description: In 1985-86, rescue excavations around the gallo-roman baths city of Aquae Bormonis brought to the surface exceptional ceramic material: hundreds of figurines, archetypes and casts, mostly original, prove the existence of a large workshop still to be precisely localized. This book is a synthetic study of these finds as well as of the structures and other types of material such as: common and glazed ceramic, terra sigillata, lamps (probably manufactured on the site); amphorae, coins, metallic and faunal material. Through the new chronological, typological and trading data exposed this volume is essential for people studying ceramic and any archaeologist working on the gallo-roman period.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: In this work, Dominique Sordoillet accomplishes the difficult task of rendering a previously obscure discipline accessible to everyone. This work originates from her doctoral dissertation thesis, which received unanimous praise for its methodological and scientific rigor. Drawing on elements from the earth sciences, she studied the stratigraphy of three exemplary archaeological sites. The prehistoric sites of Gardon, Montou and Saint-Alban were thus subject to a precise micromorphological analysis, which considers a stratigraphy as a sedimentary record of time. Through a classification of the deposits into two large families based on their formation processes, she distinguishes the occupation facies, created by human activities, from the abandonment facies, which are characteristic of natural sedimentary and post-sedimentary processes. Based on these sedimentological data, replaced in their chronological and cultural contexts, she proposes different occupation scenarios and interpretations of the evolution of human activities, rituals and construction. This short, well illustrated presentation is written with a simple vocabulary and includes a glossary, all of which make it an effective tool for understanding the methods and objectives of micromorphology in the direct interest of field interpretations and methods.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Suburbia and Rural Landscapes in Medieval Sicily presents the results of the main ongoing archaeological and historical research focusing on medieval suburbia and rural sites in Sicily. It is thus intended to update traditional views regarding the evolution of this territory from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages by bringing into the picture new data from archaeological excavations undertaken at several sites across Sicily, new information from surveys of written sources, and new reflections based on the analysis of both material and documentary sources. The volume is divided into thematic areas: Urbanscapes, suburbia, hinterlands; Inland and mountainous landscapes; Changes in rural settlement patterns; and Defence and control of the territory. The essays underline the fundamental contribution of archaeological research in Sicily to the debate on the formation of early medieval landscapes at the crossroads between the Byzantine and Islamic worlds. A comparison with other research areas and constant dialogue with historical sources constitute essential elements for advancing our knowledge of the rural and suburban world of Sicily as a case study illustrating wider Mediterranean dynamics.

    Description: The results of the excavation, undertaken in Nîmes from 1966 to 1992, of the sites of the Marseillaise, the Villégiales des Bénédictins, the Hesperides and the Fontaine des Bénédictins, make it possible to follow the evolution of the Bénédictins district from the neolithic to the present day. Near a pre-roman oppidum, on the slopes of mount Cavalier, this area was occupied from the end of the sixth century BC, later finding itself at the heart of the old town after construction of the atywall during Augustus reign. No longer an urban area from the second century AD onwards, it remained rural until the eighteenth century.Organised according to a framework which respected the relief, with both water supply system and drainage, this district contained a group of houses whose plans, construction details, decoration and domestic finds are studied both individually and from a socio-economic point of view.

    Navajo Multi-Household Social Units (2022)
    University of Arizona Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: In a rigorous and innovative study, Thomas R. Rocek examines the 150-year-old ethnohistorical and archaeological record of Navajo settlement on Black Mesa in northern Arizona. Rocek's study, the first of its kind, not only reveals a rich array of interacting factors that have helped to shape Navajo life during this period but also constructs a valuable case study in archaeological method and theory, certain to be useful to other researchers of nonurban societies. Rocek explores a neglected but major source of social flexibility in these societies. While many studies have focused on household and community-level organization, few have examined the flexible, intermediate-sized, "middle-level" cooperative units that bind small groups of households together. Middle-level units, says the author, must be recognized as important sources of social flexibility in many such cultural contexts. Futhermore, attention to middle-level units is critical for understanding household or community-level organization, because the flexibility they offer can fundamentally alter the behavior of social units of a larger or smaller scale. In examining the archaeological record of Navajo settlement, Rocek develops archaeological methods for examing multiple-household social units (variously called "outfits or "cooperating groups") through spatial analysis, investigates evidence of change in middle-level units over time, relates these changes to economic and demographic flux, and compares the Navajo case study to the broader ethnographic literature of middle-level units. Rocek finds similarities with social organization in non-unilineally organized societies, in groups that have been traditionally described as characterized by network organization, and particularly in pastoral societies. The results of Rocek's study offer a new perspective on variability in Navajo social organization while suggesting general patterns of the response of social groups to change. Rocek's work will be of significant interest not only to those with a professional interest in Navajo history and culture, but also, for its methodological insights, to a far broader range of archaeologists, social anthropologists, ethnohistorians, ethnoarchaeologists, historians, cultural geographers, and political scientists.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: When considering the establishment of overseas viking encampments, some of the most detailed and vivid contemporary descriptions of this activity originate from the Frankish realm, a region which nevertheless remains precariously positioned in wider comparative investigations of the viking world. To address this imbalance, this chapter assembles and reassesses the extant evidence for these camps across this expansive territory, whilst providing a distinct, continental perspective on their establishment, operational parameters, and overall strategic significance. In doing so, it affirms that these encampments would have represented much more than mere ramparts for vikings to bide their time behind, as they offered opportunities to regroup, recuperate, and perform repairs; to build up rations and other reserves; to conduct reconnaissance; and to engage in commerce and craft production. By and large, they would have been carefully planned and highly organised spaces, whose continued operation would have revolved around the collective, coordinated efforts and expertise of their occupants. All things considered, the available evidence alludes to a highly intricate and dynamic landscape of regional viking encampment, which would have played a principal part in keeping the viking phenomenon afloat and afoot across the Frankish realm.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: In this chapter I employ the formal economic theoretical framework known as New Institutional Economics (NIE) to analyse the Viking camps. This framework implies that I assume individual agents to act rationally in its bounded sense and that there exists a set of rules (formal and informal) that are monitored and enforced. My main questions are 1) why did the emerge, 2) why were they placed in these specific sites? 3) how could they have been organized economically, i.e. internally with labour specialization of goods and services, and externally in exchanges outside of the camps. 4) what roles did the identity of the camps (and their inhabitants) play? 5) what rules may have existed and how were they monitored and enforced? To do so I draw on existing literature in archaeology and ancient history on the Viking phenomenon and more specifically Viking camps.

    Description: The publication of excavations at Castellu throws an entirely new light upon late-Roman and early-medieval Corsica. The study includes an examination of the finds, most of which are of 6th century date, and an analysis of the faunal remains. The latter shows not only that domesticated species differed from those of the Iron-Age but also that eating habits had changed. The resulting picture is one of significant and long-lasting Romanisation of innerCorsica, and of ongoing trade relations with the rest of the Mediterranean region, even after the Van­dal invasion. The publication marks a major step towards a new understanding of this period of Corsican history.

    Description: This critical assessment of the archaeology of the historic city of Winchester and its immediate environs from earliest times to the present day is the first published comprehensive review of the archaeological resource for the city, which as seen many major programmes of archaeological investigation. There is evidence for activity and occupation in the Winchester area from the Palaeolithic period onwards, but in the Middle Iron Age population rose sharply with settlement was focused on two major defended enclosures at St Catherine’s Hill and, subsequently, Oram’s Arbour. Winchester became a Roman ‘civitas’ capital in the late 1st century AD and the typical infrastructure of public buildings, streets and defences was created. Following a period of near desertion in the Early Anglo-Saxon period, Winchester became a significant place again with the foundation of a minster church in the mid-7th century. In the Late Anglo-Saxon period it became the pre-eminent royal centre for the Kingdom of Wessex. The city acquired a castle, cathedral and bishop’s palace under norman kings but from the late 12th century onwards its status began to decline to that of a regional market town. The archaeological resource for Winchester is very rich and is a resource of national and, for the Anglo-Saxon and Norman periods, of international importance.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: This reprint features contributions from the conference DHA41. Dyes in History and Archaeology (DHA) is an annual international conference that focuses on the academic discussion of dyes and organic pigments which have been used in the past. Every year since 1982, this meeting has drawn together conservators; curators; (technical) art historians; craftspeople; artists; independent scholars; and scientists and academics from museums, universities, research centers, and other public or private institutions. Their common interest is to delve deeply into the history, production, application, and properties of organic colorants, as well as their analytical characterization and identification, often in textile objects, but also in other substrates as well as painted surfaces. In the autumn of 2022, the 41st DHA conference was hosted by the Swedish National Heritage Board in Visby. The abstracts are published on the DiVA portal (Digitala Vetenskapliga Arkivet), and many of the presented posters are available for download from the conference program. We are very grateful to the authors of the following 16 articles for submitting their manuscripts and allowing us to put together a publication that presents the fascinating breadth of research into Dyes in History and Archaeology.

The excellent preservation of the finds (silex, animal bones, heated stones) has made possible a palaeoethnological study of this horse hunting site, a type of research rarely possible in a rescue excavation Technological analysis of the lithic from Lailly (Aungnacian), in the Yonne area, and Fontvannes (Perigordian ?), in the Aube area, has revealed the production techniques for three kinds of artefacts blades, flakes and bladelets. These two sites increase the importance of the Vanne valley in the understanding of occupation of the south east of the Paris basin.Following the publication about the Middle Palaeolithic sites of the Sens area (dAf number 47), this volume renews the study of early Prehistory in this region

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: L’oppidum des Caisses de Jean-Jean (Mouriès, Bouches-du- Rhône) et son faubourg des Petites Caisses constituent un des sites archéologiques majeurs de la région du Bas-Rhône et d’une façon plus générale de la Provence. Le site se caractérise par son étendue, la durée prolongée de son occupation (de la fin du VIIIe s. av. J.-C. à celle du IIIe s. ap. J.-C.) et par son puissant système défensif le singularisant par rapport à la plupart des oppida régionaux aux fortifications généralement plus simples et de moindre durée. Déjà naturellement protégé par de hautes falaises, il était aussi défendu par plusieurs remparts. La fouille du rempart principal de l’oppidum, abordée entre 1939 et 1942 par Fernand Benoit, a été reprise depuis le début des années 2000, en mettant en évidence la juxtaposition de plusieurs de ses états successifs (entre le VIe et le Ier s. av. J.-C.). Elle a été complétée par d’autres recherches sur ses défenses avancées (fossés et agger, « chevaux-de-frise », avant-mur) ainsi que sur d’autres murailles jusqu’alors inconnues du faubourg méridional. Le présent ouvrage constitue le bilan de ces travaux, qui renouvellent considérablement les connaissances jusqu’alors disponibles pour l’étude des fortifications protohistoriques provençales. Chaque rempart a fait l’objet d’un étude archéologique et architecturale détaillée. Certaines questions ayant fait débat (remploi de stèles dans les remparts, tertre de cendre, « chevaux-de- frise ») sont examinées en cours d’exposé. La synthèse finale replace, grâce à de multiples comparaisons, ce puissant et complexe système défensif dans l’ensemble des fortifications de l’âge du Fer en Gaule méditerranéenne, et évalue la part respective des modes de construction traditionnels, des capacités d’innovation des constructeurs et des emprunts aux modèles étrangers.

    Des premières communautés paysannes à la naissance de l’État dans le Centre de la France : 5000-50 a.C. (2023)
    Ausonius Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Cet ouvrage est consacré à la formation des systèmes politiques protohistoriques sur une période de 5000 ans. La première partie présente une cartographie sous SIG de 8 000 sites enregistrés dans la base de données Patriarche du Ministère de la Culture dans l’ensemble de la région Centre-Val de Loire. Du Néolithique ancien jusqu’à l’âge du Fer, elle permet de visualiser l’évolution du peuplement depuis le début de la sédentarisation jusqu’à la formation des trois civitates de l’âge du Fer : Turons, Carnutes et Bituriges. La seconde partie s’investit plus précisément dans l’analyse de trois complexes archéologiques emblématiques de la région Centre : les célèbres sites de Fort-Harrouard (Eure-et-Loir), Sublaines (Indre-et-Loire) et Levroux (Indre) sont réexaminés pour reconstituer la formation de trois territoires singuliers dans la longue durée. Fondée sur les problématiques de l’anthropologie politique, la dernière partie comprend une réflexion théorique sur la naissance de l’État à l’âge du Fer. Une approche originale combine les données archéologiques et les ressources textuelles, confrontées ensemble aux modèles anthropologiques. Du royaume mythique d’Ambigatus à la guerre des Gaules, les données archéologiques sont confrontées aux textes puis aux théories de l’anthropologie politique. De la résidence princière hallstattienne de Bourges aux oppida de La Tène finale du Berry, progressivement l’histoire politique des Celtes se dessine.

    Archaeology and Desertification (2023)
    Council for British Research in the Levant
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The Wadi Faynan is a harshly beautiful and desertic landscape in southern Jordan, situated between the hyper-arid deserts of the Wadi 'Arabah and the rugged and wetter Mountains of Edom. Archaeology and Desertification presents the results of the Wadi Faynan Landscape Survey, an inter-disciplinary study of landscape change undertaken in the Wadi Faynan by a team of archaeologists and geographers with the goal of contributing to present-day desertification debates by providing a long-term perspective on the relationship between environmental change and human history. The Wadi Faynan was the focus for some of the earliest farming in the Near East, and the earliest metallurgy, and in Roman times was a centre for copper and lead mining. The project reveals how past communities of farmers, shepherds, and miners managed their challenging environment, the solutions they developed, their successes and failures, and their short- and long-term environmental impacts. The richness of the palaeoclimatic, archaeological and palaeoecological data reveals an environmental/cultural history of complex pathways, synergies, and feedbacks operating at many different geographical scales, rates, and intensities. The project's findings on the complexity of past and present people:environment relations in the Wadi Faynan affirm the power of inter-disciplinary landscape archaeology to contribute significantly to the desertification debate. With global warming likely to threaten the lives of millions of people in the semi-arid and arid lands that comprise over a third of the planet through the course of this century, with potentially dire consequences for adjacent populations in better-watered regions, understanding the complexity of past responses to aridification has never been more urgent.

    Mineralogical Approaches to Archaeological Materials (2022)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Archaeometry is based on the necessary interdisciplinary relationship between diverse branches of the natural and social sciences. This relationship is essential in archaeology, since, from physical materials (objects), scholars have to face questions that go beyond the limits of the tangible and pertain instead to abstract and social concerns. Currently, archaeometric studies are fundamental to the accurate classification and characterization of archaeological materials, providing relevant data, among other aspects, about their production, function and social meaning. In this book, we present a set of papers that show the potential of mineralogical studies (e.g. petrography, mineral geochemistry, X-ray Diffraction) and multiproxy approaches to characterize the composition of a wide diversity of archaeological materials such as ceramics, terracotta, tiles, metals, glazes, glass and mortars related to several periods (Bronze Age, Roman, Middle Age, Modern period). In this sense, this book can be of interest for specialized researchers who seek specific case studies and are mainly concerned with certain kinds of materials, but also for those students, researchers and professionals who look for a practical overview of the chief methods that can be followed in the study of material culture.

    Description: The plan to extend the TGV high-speed rail link from Lyon to Marseille was a major scientific challenge, comprising 300 km of transect through archeologically highly-sensitive areas and notably the Rhone corridor — a key western European trunk route since prehistoric times. A rescue operation unprecedented in terms of its size and complexity was initiated to take up the challenge and in this volume, Odile Maufras presents the results of the campaign covering the medieval period. No less than 14 separate digs focused on sites of non-village rural occupation from the seventh to the fifteenth centuries. The sites are first described in a series of concise monographs whose standardized layout will help readers easily find their way. The second part studies key environmental aspects, material culture and cultural practices in a series of well-documented and presented overviews and analytical articles. The work throws new light on the sort of isolated habitats which are generally so difficult to pinpoint and updates the geographical and environmental picture of the central Rhone valley. It returns to the question of a break between late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, while at the same time refining our knowledge of organizational development in the countryside.

    Rhodes (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Provence
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Au cours de leur installation à Rhodes pendant environ deux siècles, les Chevaliers Hospitaliers ont superposé une forteresse-monastère à la ville byzantine. La conquête ottomane a entraîné ensuite dans la ville un processus d’islamisation qui s’est traduit par une large réutilisation du bâti existant. Les modalités de ces opérations demeurent peu connues. Cet ouvrage propose un voyage dans l’histoire de Rhodes entre le Moyen Âge et le début de l’époque moderne, afin de retracer les phases de son accroissement urbain et les interactions entre l’architecture religieuse et la forma urbis. Cette étude s’appuie sur les outils de l’analyse spatiale et morphologique, qui a une partie importante dans les études d’archéologie urbaine, ainsi que sur un corpus de sources variées : les manuscrits de l’Ordre, les récits de voyage, l’iconographie et les données archéologiques. Une partie de l’ouvrage est consacrée enfin au recensement et à une analyse comparative des églises et des mosquées urbaines : bien que souvent limitée à une dimension régionale, la production architecturale et artistique à Rhodes est étroitement liée à des réalisations plus prestigieuses d’inspiration byzantine et gothique, ainsi que du monde ottoman. Dans un contexte actuel où l’urbanisation contemporaine côtoie tant le patrimoine bâti le plus connu que les vestiges archéologiques mineurs, Rhodes s’avère être un véritable « laboratoire urbain » dont l’histoire demeure un champ en construction.

    Remembering and Forgetting the Ancient City (2022)
    Oxbow Books | Oxbow Books
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The Greco-Roman world is identified in the modern mind by its cities. This includes both specific places such as Athens and Rome, but also an instantly recognizable style of urbanism wrought in marble and lived in by teeming tunic-clad crowds. Selective and misleading this vision may be, but it speaks to the continuing importance these ancient cities have had in the centuries that followed and the extent to which they define the period in subsequent memory. Although there is much that is mysterious about them, the cities of the Roman Mediterranean are, for the most part, historically known. That the names and pasts of these cities remain known to us is the product of an extraordinary process of remembering and forgetting stretching back to antiquity that took place throughout the former Roman world. This volume tackles this subject of the survival and transformation of the ancient city through memory, drawing upon the methodological and theoretical lenses of memory studies and resilience theory to view the way the Greco-Roman city lived and vanished for the generations that separate the present from antiquity.This book analyzes the different ways in which urban communities of the post-Antique world have tried to understand and relate to the ancient city on their own terms, examining it as a process of forgetting as well as remembering. Many aspects of the ancient city were let go as time passed, but those elements that survived, that were actively remembered, have shaped the many understandings of what it was. In order to do so, this volume assembles specialists in multiple fields to bring their perspectives to bear on the subject through eleven case studies that range from late Antiquity to the mid-twentieth century, and from the Iberian Peninsula to Iran. Through the examination of archaeological remains, changing urban layouts and chronicles, travel guides and pamphlets, they track how the ancient city was made useful or consigned to oblivion.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: From Newgrange in Ireland to Hal Saflieni in Malta or Gavrinis in Brittany, Neolithic tombs are well known for their monumental nature. Far from being simple mortuary “containers”, only aimed at receiving dead bodies, these tombs are complex and multiple architectures that were designed to host elaborate burial rituals involving several actors and several ceremonial times and spaces. For archaeologists, the spatial organisation of these architectures and their contents is a thread to investigate and understand the burial practices and beliefs of Neolithic communities. Combining recent fieldworks and regional surveys, it explores the configuration of tombs architecture (megalithic chambered tombs, rock-cut tombs, cists under tumulus or cairns, barrows, etc.), the spatial organisation of bodies, grave goods and imagery, and the relationships between the tombs and their landscape setting. This European overview shows the different ways Neolithic societies thought, built and used the space of the dead in Europe from 5000 to 2000 BC. But it also offers and discusses ideas about the meaning of these spatial choices.

    Heritage and Nationalism (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: How was the Roman Empire invoked in Brexit Britain and in Donald Trump’s United States of America, and to what purpose? And why is it critical to answer these kinds of questions? Heritage and Nationalism explores how people’s perceptions and experiences of the ancient past shape political identities in the digital age. It particularly examines the multiple ways in which politicians, parties and private citizens mobilise aspects of the Iron Age, Roman and Medieval past of Britain and Europe to include or exclude ‘others’ based on culture, religion, class, race, ethnicity, etc. Chiara Bonacchi draws on the results of an extensive programme of research involving both data-intensive and qualitative methods to investigate how pre-modern periods are leveraged to support or oppose populist nationalist arguments as part of social media discussions concerning Brexit, the Italian Election of 2018 and the US-Mexican border debate in the US. Analysing 60 million tweets and Facebook posts, comments and replies, this book is the first to use big data to answer questions about public engagement with the past and identity politics. The findings and insightful conclusions revise and reframe the meaning of populist nationalism today and help to build a shared basis for the democratic engagement of citizens in public life in the future. The book offers a fascinating and unmissable read for anyone interested in how the past and its contemporary legacy, or ‘heritage’, influence our ‘political’ thinking and feeling in a time of hyper-interconnectivity.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: La romanisation est pour les archéologues une question complexe qui touche tant à la notion d’identité qu’aux problèmes inhérents à l’interprétation des témoins de la culture matérielle. Durant les vingt dernières années, l’étude de la romanisation s’est enrichie de bon nombre de publications importantes traitant de presque toutes les provinces de l’Empire romain, marquant une avancée significative dans l’élucidation des modalités diverses de ce processus. Le territoire retenu comme objet d’étude par le présent travail se situe à la charnière des provinces balkano-danubiennes et grecques. Le matériel archéologique disponible, à la fois volumineux et diversifié (monnaies, céramiques, inscriptions), confronté aux structures urbaines mises au jour par les fouilles et à la dynamique de l’habitat rural permet de renouveler nos connaissances de plusieurs aspects de la vie quotidienne durant la période romaine. L’examen de l’ensemble de ces éléments permet d’offrir non seulement de nouvelles analyses de caractère archéologique, mais également une synthèse historique dont l’objectif essentiel est la mise en évidence du processus d’intégration des Illyriens et des Épirotes à l’Empire romain et qui marque alors leur civilisation.

    Description: Star Carr is one of the most important Mesolithic sites in Europe. It was discovered in the late 1940s by John Moore and then excavated by Grahame Clark from 1949-1951, becoming famous in the archaeological world for the wealth of rare organic remains uncovered including barbed antler points and antler headdresses. However, since the original excavations there has been much debate about how the site was used: was it a residential base camp, a hunting camp or even a ritual site? From 2003-2015, excavations directed by Conneller, Milner and Taylor aimed to answer these questions. This work has demonstrated that the site is much larger and more complex than ever imagined and was in use for around 800 years. The excavations show that Mesolithic groups were highly invested in this place: there is evidence for a number of structures on the dryland (the oldest evidence for ‘houses’ in Britain), three large wooden platforms along the edge of the lake, and the deposition of rare artefacts into the lake edge, including more antler headdresses and a unique, engraved shale pendant. People continued to occupy the site despite changes in climate over this period. The main results of our work are contained in two volumes: the first provides an interpretation of the site, and the second provides detail on specific areas of research.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: "Megaliths of the World brings together the latest research on megalithic monuments throughout the world. Many of these sites are well known, others less familiar, yet equally deserving of close attention. Megalithic monuments in different regions of the world are far from being a single unified phenomenon, having varied chronologies, and diverse origins, but they all share a certain family resemblance through their common characteristic: the deployment of large stones. No fewer than 150 researchers have contributed 72 articles and inserts, providing a vital region-by region account of the megalithic monuments in their specialist areas, and the current state of knowledge. The insights offered in these volumes emphasize the particular character and significance of these apparently inanimate stones. The use of such large blocks must surely have been an expression of power or prestige, yet the size and materiality of the stones themselves opens up new perspectives into the meaning and symbolism of these monuments, the places from which the blocks were derived, and the way they were manipulated and shaped. Megaliths of the World takes the reader on a fascinating journey, offering new insights through encounters with megaliths and megalithic traditions that will often be new and unfamiliar. Highlighting salient themes, it provides a compendium of detailed information that will be vital to anyone interested in the phenomenon of megalithic monumentality."

    Description: Cet ouvrage complète les deux volumes qui rendaient compte des fouilles intervenues entre 1991 et 2006 à Sidi Jdidi, l’ancienne Aradi. Ils traitaient respectivement d’une basilique chrétienne et du groupe épiscopal étudiés dans leur contexte. Le troisième volume concerne le matériel numismatique issu des deux sites, soit 938 monnaies. À partir des identifications dues à Cl. Brenot, elles ont été rapportées à la stratigraphie et livrent un échantillon de la circulation monétaire dans le cadre des lieux de culte et de leurs dépendances dans une petite cité africaine entre Ve et VIIe s. Les données sont confrontées aux interprétations avancées dans les volumes précédents et dans celui de T. Mukaï qui traitait du matériel céramique du groupe épiscopal. Elles les confirment et montrent qu’au cours de l’ensemble de la période, les échanges quotidiens reposent de façon minoritaire sur des frappes de la seconde moitié du IVe s. tandis que la part essentielle revient aux imitations de ces mêmes espèces, sans renouvellement notable du stock. Quelques unités apportent des précisions sur les datations, occasion d’un retour sur l’histoire de cette partie de la cité, voire de la cité elle-même.

    Peopled Landscapes (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-09
    Description: This impressive collection celebrates the work of Peter Kershaw, a key figure in the field of Australian palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. Over almost half a century his research helped reconceptualize ecology in Australia, creating a detailed understanding of environmental change in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. Within a biogeographic framework one of his exceptional contributions was to explore the ways that Aboriginal people may have modified the landscape through the effects of anthropogenic burning. These ideas have had significant impacts on thinking within the fields of geomorphology, biogeography, archaeology, anthropology and history. Papers presented here continue to explore the dynamism of landscape change in Australia and the contribution of humans to those transformations. The volume is structured in two sections. The first examines evidence for human engagement with landscape, focusing on Australia and Papua New Guinea but also dealing with the human/environmental histories of Europe and Asia. The second section contains papers that examine palaeoecology and present some of the latest research into environmental change in Australia and New Zealand. Individually these papers, written by many of Australia's prominent researchers in these fields, are significant contributions to our knowledge of Quaternary landscapes and human land use. But Peopled Landscapes also signifies the disciplinary entanglement that is archaeological and biogeographic research in this region, with archaeologists and environmental scientists contributing to both studies of human land use and palaeoecology. Peopled Landscapes reveals the interdisciplinary richness of Quaternary research in the Australasian region as well as the complexity and richness of the entangled environmental and human pasts of these lands. - Prof. Peter Hiscock, The Australian National University

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Archaeological Science meetings will have a personality of their own depending on the focus of the host archaeological fraternity itself. The 8th Australasian Archaeometry meeting follows this pattern but underlying the regional emphasis is the continuing concern for the processes of change in the landscape that simultaneously effect and illuminate the archaeological record. These are universal themes for any archaeological research with the increasing employment of science-based studies proving to be a key to understanding the place of humans as subjects and agents of change over time. This collection of refereed papers covers the thematic fields of geoarchaeology, archaeobotany, materials analysis and chronometry, with particular emphasis on the first two. The editors Andrew Fairbairn, Sue O'Connor and Ben Marwick outline the special value of these contributions in the introduction. The international nature of archaeological science will mean that the advances set out in these papers will find a receptive audience among many archaeologists elsewhere. There is no doubt that the story that Australasian archaeology has to tell has been copiously enriched by incorporating a widening net of advanced science-based studies. This has brought attention to the nature of the environment as a human artefact, a fact now more widely appreciated, and archaeology deals with these artefacts, among others, in this way in this publication.

    Description: Metalworkers and their Tools brings together 12 papers by 22 authors from the “Metools” international symposium organised in at Queens University, Belfast in June 2016 as part of the HardRock project “Between a Rock and a Hard Place: context, function, and choice of early metalworking tools on Europe’s Atlantic façade” (Marie Skłodowska Curie, No. 623392) and the “Metal Ages in Europe” commission of the International Union of Pre- and Protohistoric Sciences (UISPP). Its aim was to shine a spotlight on the tools of the metalworker and to follow their evolution from the beginning of the Bronze Age through to the Iron Age, as well as the place held by metalworking and its artisans in the economic and social landscape of the period.

    Mimbres during the Twelfth Century (2022)
    University of Arizona Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: During the mid twelfth century, villages that had been occupied by the Mimbres people in what is now southwestern New Mexico were depopulated and new settlements were formed. While most scholars view abandonment in terms of failed settlements, Margaret Nelson shows that, for the Mimbres, abandonment of individual communities did not necessarily imply abandonment of regions. By examining the economic and social reasons for change among the Mimbres, Nelson reconstructs a process of shifting residence as people spent more time in field camps and gradually transformed them into small hamlets while continuing to farm their old fields. Challenging current interpretations of abandonment of the Mimbres area through archaeological excavation and survey, she suggests that agricultural practices evolved toward the farming of multiple fields among which families moved, with small social groups traveling frequently between small pueblos rather than being aggregated in large villages. Mimbres during the Twelfth Century is the first book-length contribution on this topic for the Classic Mimbres period and also addresses current debates on the role of Casas Grandes in these changes. By rethinking abandonment, Nelson shows how movement by prehistoric cultivators maintained continuity of occupation within a region and invites us to reconsider the dynamic relationship between people and their land.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The genesis of early writing has generated a geat deal of interest and is often misunderstood. The goal of this scientific meeting was to gather scholars working on different graphical systems attested during the 4th millenium BCE in Egypt. Different material supports have been taken into account for this period, in Egypt and with comparisons in Mesopotamia. The authors also investigate the link between image and writing, the social and cultural contexts within which this transformation occured and the status of the sign. Indeed, it seems that the relation between the sign and the material support might be a key of understanding. Several promising avenues have been pinpointed while taking into account of the memorization techniques of oral performance in ritual practice.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: One of the large international and interdisciplinary research projects on the Palaeolithic of France during the middle of the 20th century was the excavation of the abri Pataud (Les Eyzies, Dordogne). From this project, directed by Hallam L. Movius, Jr., came innovations in excavation technique and artifact analysis that have contributed to the methodological synthesis underlying current research. The abri Pataud is one of the key sequences of the earlier Upper Palaeolithic in the Southwest. The publication began in 1975 but was left unfinished because of the death of Pr Movius in 1987. His closest collaborators have summarized here the results of the project, including unpublished studies of the Protomagdalenian, Middle Perigordian, and Aurignacian occupations, new radiocarbon dates, a reappraisal of the geochronology, and an extensively annotated catalogue of Aurignacian and Perigordian sites in Dordogne which allows the abri Pataud to be seen in its regional context.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In November 2012, the 18th International Conference of Ethiopian Studies was convened in Dire Dawa, a cosmopolitan city in the eastern lowlands of Ethiopia. This event gathered more than 300 international scholars from all disciplines of the humanities and social social sciences. Under the general theme of ‘movement’ these two volumes gather a collection of 70 papers that reflect recent trends in the field of Ethiopian studies. From local studies to regional and international perspectives, these studies question long term historical processes and current social and economic transformations. A number of contributions explore and give access to fresh sources of knowledge from unpublished or rediscovered texts and documents, from recordings of oral information, or from ethnographic observation. They also review literature, challenge conventional ideas and propose critical investigations on past and present issues, such as interethnic relations, women’s role, development policies and their impact.

    Things that Travelled (2022)
    University College London
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Recent research has demonstrated that, in the Roman, Late Antique, Early Islamic and Medieval worlds, glass was traded over long distances, from the Eastern Mediterranean, mainly Egypt and Israel, to Northern Africa, the Western Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Things that Travelled, a collaboration between the UCL Early Glass Technology Research Network, the Association for the History of Glass and the British Museum, aims to build on this knowledge. Covering all aspects of glass production, technology, distribution and trade in Roman, Byzantine and Early Medieval/Early Islamic times, including studies from Britain, Egypt, Cyprus, Italy and many others, the volume combines the strengths of the sciences and cultural studies to offer a new approach to research on ancient glass. By bringing together such a varied mix of contributors, specialising in a range of geographical areas and chronological time frames, this volume also offers a valuable contribution to broader discussions on glass within political, economic, cultural and historical arenas.

    Description: Virtual heritage has been explained as virtual reality applied to cultural heritage, but this definition only scratches the surface of the fascinating applications, tools and challenges of this fast-changing interdisciplinary field. This book provides an accessible but concise edited coverage of the main topics, tools and issues in virtual heritage. Leading international scholars have provided chapters to explain current issues in accuracy and precision; challenges in adopting advanced animation techniques; shows how archaeological learning can be developed in Minecraft; they propose mixed reality is conceptual rather than just technical; they explore how useful Linked Open Data can be for art history; explain how accessible photogrammetry can be but also ethical and practical issues for applying at scale; provide insight into how to provide interaction in museums involving the wider public; and describe issues in evaluating virtual heritage projects not often addressed even in scholarly papers. The book will be of particular interest to students and scholars in museum studies, digital archaeology, heritage studies, architectural history and modelling, virtual environments.

    Chapter 2 Region, Style, Idiom, and Ritual in History (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Chakshudana or Opening the Eyes | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Chakshudana or rituals of opening the eyes are practiced across multiple South Asian communities by artists, sculptors and priests. The ritual offers gods access to the mortal world, this practice applied to the study of art offers a distinctive perspective to interrogate the complex engagements with paintings, sculptures, found objects, fragments, built environments, and ecologies. This volume takes as its focus the process of seeing—to look closely, remaining true to the object, but also to see widely, from multiple subjective stances and diverse bodily engagements from walking to dreaming, from glancing to looking askance, and hypnotic stares, and to see beyond the visible. It examines art history through nuanced considerations of materiality, aesthetics and regional specificities. The essays emerge from current research building on the contributions of Michael W. Meister, W. Norman Brown Distinguished Professor of History of Art and South Asia Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, whose works laid the foundations for the study of South Asian visual and material culture. The essays in this book underscore methodological resonances rather than privileging conventional categories of media or chronology exploring artistic media including temples and paintings, as well as Bengali quilted textiles, manuscript ‘lozenges,’ and metal repousse. This volume, part of the Visual Media and Histories Series, will be of interest to students and researchers of history of art, religious studies, history, as well as the allied disciplines of anthropology and folklore studies.

    The Neighbors of Casas Grandes (2022)
    University of Arizona Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Casas Grandes, or Paquimé, in northwestern Mexico was of one of the few socially complex prehistoric civilizations in North America. Now, based on more than a decade of surveys, excavations, and field work, Michael Whalen and Paul Minnis provide a comprehensive new look at Casas Grandes and its surrounding communities in The Neighbors of Casas Grandes. This volume provides a fascinating and detailed look into the culture of the Casas Grandes area, involving not just the research of the architecture and artifacts left behind but also the ecology of the area. The authors’ research reveals the complex relationship Casas Grandes had with its neighbors, varying from very direct contact with some communities to more indirect links with others. Important internal influences on the area’s development come to light and population sizes throughout the period demonstrate the absorption of the surrounding populations into Casas Grandes as it reached the peak of its power in the region. New discoveries suggest the need to revise the previously held beliefs about the age of Casas Grandes and the dates of its rise to power. This ancient civilization may have developed as early as 1180 AD. Such breakthroughs provide fresh insight about not only Casas Grandes but the nearby settlements as well. The Neighbors of Casas Grandes is an important and vital piece of primary field research for all those interested in the Southwest’s archaelogy and history. Its contribution to the knowledge of the Casas Grandes region is monumental in helping us better understand the society that once flourished there.

    Marija Gimbutas (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This book is a biography and reception history of the Lithuanian–American archaeologist Marija Gimbutas (1921–1994). It presents the first transnational account of Gimbutas’ life based on historical research, and an original examination of the impact of her ideas in various feminist contexts, both academic and popular. At the core of this book is a success story of an Eastern European woman who survived both Soviet and Nazi occupations of her homeland, lived as a displaced person in postwar Germany, and built her career and scholarly authority within the androcentric American academia. At the same time, it is also a story of a controversy, which followed Gimbutas’ theory of Old Europe – a prehistoric civilization, characterized by peacefulness, egalitarianism, women’s leadership, and the worship of the Great Goddess. First introduced in 1974, this theory inspired women’s movements worldwide, but was harshly criticized by other archaeologists. This book examines the various intellectual contexts (feminist, nationalist, theoretical) in which Gimbutas’ ideas were formed, received, and interpreted, as well as appropriated for different political goals. This timely study will appeal to scholars and students in the following fields: history of archaeology, prehistoric archaeology, gender studies, feminist studies, women’s history, Baltic studies, and religion and spirituality.

    The Roman Lower Danube Frontier (2023)
    Archaeopress Publishing Ltd
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Over the past few decades, there has been a significant amount of research on the Roman Lower Danube frontier by international teams focusing on individual forts or broader landscape survey work; collectively, this volume represents the best of this collaboration with the aim of elevating the Lower Danube within broader Roman frontier scholarship.The Lower Danube, running between Singidunum (modern Belgrade) and Halmyris in the Danube Delta, was one of the most densely fortified regions of the Roman Empire. The region has long been a border zone, today forming part of the border between Serbia and Romania, and the majority of the border between Romania and Bulgaria. Despite its importance for understanding both Roman frontier policy and the relationship between ancient and modern borderscapes, the region has not yet made its full contribution to international Roman scholarship. Bridging the theoretical divide that exists between different regional research traditions, chapters in this volume focus on sites like Ratiaria, in modern north-western Bulgaria, while other contributors examine the complex landscape from a wider perspective oriented around roads, temporary camps, or early Christian sites. The Roman Lower Danube Frontier emphasises the importance of engaging with Roman frontier landscapes, particularly in regions such as East-Central Europe, where they remain part of a contemporary borderscape.

    Lyon, Saint-Georges (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: In advance of the construction of an underground parking lot on the edge of the Saint-Georges quarter in the city of Lyon, on the right bank of the Saône, a team of Inrap archaeologists conducted an excavation between 2002 and 2004 with the goal of reconstructing the nature of the human installation from the beginning of Antiquity. Strongly supported by previous research and enriched by several complementary disciplines, the long and complex preventive excavation of the Parc Saint-Georges provided an opportunity to reconstruct the history of a riverbank with a difficult natural topography, which was gradually liberated from the river course, while not completely breaking from its influence. At this site, we find key evidence for the genesis of the formation of the alluvial plain of Lyon. At the end of the Protohistoric period, this was the location of the confluence of the original Rhone and Saône rivers, and then that of the new course of the Saône. The vitality of the fluvial network and port activities at Lugdunum are clearly illustrated by the discovery of a pier in association with a ferry dated to the end of the 1st century ad, and five heavy-tonnage barges dated to the 2nd and 3rd centuries. After a period of decreased occupation during the Early Middle Ages, the sector was progressively urbanized starting in the 12th century. At the center of the excavation, a zone with no construction was to be the future site of the port of Sablet. In the 16th century, this fluvial port was well established within the urban framework of the quarter. Seven fishwell boats provide evidence of commercial fishing activities. Significant changes were made in the second half of the 17th century in order to create a monumental port. A boat, which perhaps served for the transport of heavy merchandise, is dated to the middle of the 18th century. Until the end of the 19th century, the construction of the Fulchiron quay deprived the sector of direct access to the river, the bank was modified to accommodate the fluvial port of the quarter, and the environment was composed of "waterfront" houses. The significant historical data presented in this publication, obtained through a thorough exploitation of the information contributed by this excavation, represents a decisive advance in archaeological research, allowing a reconstruction of the early evolution of a major fluvial zone of the city of Lyon.

    Description: Fine Middle Palaeolithic sites between Montereau (Seine-et-Marne) and Troyes (Aube) were excavated over large areas during the construction of the A5 motorway : these researches have allowed a renewed approach to this type of open-air deposit. the detailed analysis of the stratified lithic material and the pedo-seditnentary phases have supported the chronostratigraphical attributions : the successions of archaeological levels lie between 200 000 and 40 000 years B.C. The Micoquian industry is recognised at Vinneufl/Les Hauts Massous (Yonne) whilst the Mousterian industries carry on on the sites of the Vanne valley (Aube). This volume constitutes the first survey of the Middle Palaeolithic occupation of this part of the Paris basin, placed in its geological context.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The Aubrac plateau and its foothills have been studied by a multi-disciplinary team of archaeologists, historians, ethnologists and environmentalists. This research has shown that the region, despite its reputation as a hostile environment for humans, has a surprisingly rich archaeological potential. Numerous written documents and an exceptionally well preserved environment allowed the spatiotemporal framework of this research to be defined. This work shows how the Domerie (hospital) of Aubrac, which amassed numerous pasturelands, fossilized the habitat since the High Middle Ages. It presents the forms of agropastoral habitats that existed during the 11th to 13th centuries, which is one of the major themes of this study. Through the study of permanent (was) and temporary (buron) agricultural exploitation sites, located between 1100 and 1300 m altitude, it contributes to our knowledge of a rural mountain society during the Middle Ages.

    What Photographs Do (2022)
    UCL Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: What are photographs ‘doing’ in museums? Why are some photographs valued and others not? Why are some photographic practices visible and not others? What value systems and hierarchies do they reflect? What Photographs Do explores how museums are defined through their photographic practices. It focuses not on formal collections of photographs as accessioned objects, be they ‘fine art’ or ‘archival’, but on what might be termed ‘non-collections’: the huge number of photographs that are integral to the workings of museums yet ‘invisible’, existing outside the structures of ‘the collection’. These photographs, however, raise complex and ambiguous questions about the ways in which such accumulations of photographs create the values, hierarchies, histories and knowledge-systems, through multiple, folded and overlapping layers that might be described as the museum’s ecosystem. These photographic dynamics are studied through the prism of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, an institution with over 150 years' engagement with photography’s multifaceted uses and existences in the museum. The book differs from more usual approaches to museum studies in that it presents not only formal essays but short ‘auto-ethnographic’ interventions from museum practitioners, from studio photographers and image managers to conservators and non-photographic curators, who address the significance of both historical and contemporary practices of photography in their work. As such this book offers an extensive and unique range of accounts of what photographs ‘do’ in museums, expanding the critical discourse of both photography and museums.

    Les Boutiques d’Ostie du Ier s. av. J.-C. au Ve ap. J.-C (2022)

    Description: L’aménagement du port de Claude, puis la construction du port de Trajan ont profondément transformé le rôle portuaire d’Ostie. Ces mutations n’ont pas été sans conséquences sur l’économie urbaine de la ville. C’est ce qu’explore ce livre à travers une étude des boutiques et du rôle qu’elles ont joué dans les transformations économiques, sociales et urbaines d’Ostie du Ier s. av. J.-C. au Ve s. ap. J.-C. La première partie est consacrée aux spécificités architecturales des boutiques d‘Ostie et à leurs évolutions qui semblent avoir été en grande partie induites par les mutations du rôle portuaire de la ville au IIe siècle et par l’essor démographique qu’elles ont suscité. La deuxième partie concerne la place occupée par les gens des boutiques et leurs activités dans l’économie d’Ostie où les métiers du port, de la mer et de la construction prédominent. À partir du milieu du IIIe siècle ap. J.-C., une recomposition de l’économie d’Ostie semble s’opérer autour d’enjeux plus locaux et régionaux. La dernière partie traite de la manière dont les boutiques ont contribué à structurer le territoire urbain. De l’artère marchande à l’arrière-cour d’immeuble, en passant par un questionnement sur l’existence de quartiers spécialisés et les stratégies de séduction des boutiquiers, il apparaît que les boutiques ont joué un rôle majeur dans l’émergence d’une nouvelle image urbaine.

    Description: Archaeological research carried out in Lyon since 1971 at three major sites, the cathedral complex and the churches and graveyards of Saint-Just and Saint-Laurent-de-Choulans, has changed our understanding of the topography of the town during the early Christian period. Lyon, federal capital of the Cauls and later capital of the Burgundian kings. was from the IVth to VIIIth centuries an ecclesiastical centre of prime importance. The remains oftwo churches and of a baptistery forming an épiscopal group (one of the first to be completely excavated). the basilicas built on the tombs of saints and the graveyards, are evidence of the creation of a new Christian architecture, respecting antique traditions, and of the Christianisation of funerary practices. Thorough analysis of the archaeological evidence, confronted with archivai sources and documents, confirms the vitality and prestige of Lugdunum christianum.

    Chapter 37 The intangible made tangible in Wales (2022)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This collection provides an in-depth and up-to-date examination of the concept of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the issues surrounding its value to society. Critically engaging with the UNESCO 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, the book also discusses local-level conceptualizations of living cultural traditions, practices and expressions, and reflects on the efforts that seek to safeguard them. Exploring a global range of case studies, the book considers the diverse perspectives currently involved with intangible cultural heritage and presents a rich picture of the geographic, socioeconomic and political contexts impacting research in this area. With contributions from established and emerging scholars, public servants, professionals, students and community members, this volume is also deeply enhanced by an interdisciplinary approach which draws on the theories and practices of heritage and museum studies, anthropology, folklore studies, ethnomusicology, and the study of cultural policy and related law. The Routledge Companion to Intangible Cultural Heritage undoubtedly broadens the international heritage discourse and is an invaluable learning tool for instructors, students and practitioners in the field.
