    Marine conservation beyond MPAs: Towards the recognition of other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) in Indonesia (2022)
    In:  Marine Policy vol. 137 no. 104939
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-06-13
    Description: In a marine environment that is rapidly changing due to anthropogenic activities and climate change, area-based management tools are often used to mitigate threats and conserve biodiversity. Marine protected areas (MPAs) are amongst the most widespread and recognized marine conservation tools worldwide, however, MPAs alone are inadequate to address the environmental crisis. The promotion of other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) under draft Target 3 of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, i.e., conserving 30% of marine areas by 2030, holds promise to acknowledge sites and practices occurring beyond MPAs that contribute to conservation. Here, we evaluate the potential recognition of OECMs into Indonesia's national policy framework on marine resource management and provide the first-ever overview of distribution and types of potential marine OECMs in Indonesia, including a review of the existing evidence on conservation effectiveness. We identified 〉 390 potential marine OECMs, led by government, customary and local communities, or the private sector, towards diverse management objectives, including habitat protection, traditional/customary management, fisheries, tourism, or other purposes. While some evidence exists regarding the conservation effectiveness of these practices, the long-term impacts on biodiversity of all potential marine OECMs in Indonesia are unknown. Many OECM elements have been included in several national policies, yet there are no established mechanisms to identify, recognize and report sites as OECMs in Indonesia. We propose four transformational strategies for future OECM recognition in Indonesia, namely: (i) safeguard customary and traditional communities, (ii) leverage cross-sector and cross-scale collaboration, (iii) focus on delivering outcomes, and (iv) streamline legal frameworks. Our study shows that OECMs have the potential to play a significant role in underpinning marine area-based conservation in Indonesia, including supporting the Government of Indonesia in reaching national and international conservation targets and goals.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Rabinal et la vallée moyenne du Rio Chixoy. Vol. 2 (2022)

    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: 2024-04-04
    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.

    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.

    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.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    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)
    Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme
    Details
    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.

    Archaeology and Environment in Northumberland (2022)
    Oxbow Books | Oxbow Books
    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.

    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.

    Description: Only perceptable to the averted eye due to their low relief, the barrows of Chaux d’Arlier have remained little known until the first surveys were carried out during the period 1950-60. Although saved front unscientific excavation, they have however not escaped damage from agricultural practice or its modernisation. Presented in this publication are the results from recent rescue excavations which outline the importance of later prehistoric occupation in this traditional area of contact. Put at the disposition of the reader, is a documentation of an interest which justifies the measures taken to protect these monuments.

    Pottery Making and Communities During the 5th Millennium BCE in Fars Province, Southwestern Iran (2022)
    Archaeopress Publishing | Archaeopress Publishing Ltd
    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Savoir-faire antichi e moderni tra Ruvo di Puglia e Napoli: il cratere dell'Amazzonomachia e la loutrophoros con il mito di Niobe (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Questo volume raccoglie i contributi della Giornata Internazionale di Studi organizzata nell’ambito della 16a edizione del programma Restituzioni 2013, dal Centre Jean Bérard e da Banca Intesa Sanpaolo in collaborazione con il MANN e l’Università degli Studi di Milano, in occasione del restauro di due vasi del MANN. Con l’obiettivo principale di restituire ai due vasi una unitarietà di lettura, oltre a garantirne il consolidamento e il miglioramento delle precarie condizioni di conservazione, sono stati programmati dal Laboratorio di Restauro del MANN significativi interventi conservativi, realizzati da Raffaele D’Aniello, Pasquale Festinese, Antonio Guerra, Antonio Marroccella, con la direzione di Luigia Melillo e il coordinamento di Mariateresa Operetto. Questo libro vuole rendere omaggio al sapere del collezionista, del restauratore, del vasaio e del pittore che, attraverso le loro produzioni dall’antichità ad oggi costituiscono parte del patrimonio del MANN. La sfida è stata quella di ricostruire, sulla scia di pubblicazioni recenti che presentano la storia completa di singoli vasi italioti, la biografia e l’autopsia delle opere attraverso un’analisi a 360 gradi, annullando i confini tra i periodi e le conoscenze attraverso il confronto tra i vecchi e i nuovi restauri e le indagini condotte nei documenti conservati in magazzini e archivi. A proposito di “savoir-faire antichi”, il cratere e la loutrophoros oggi esposti nella sezione Magna Grecia rappresentano straordinari documenti archeologici della qualità artigianale raggiunta dai ceramisti e ceramografi apuli nel IV secolo a.C.: a questi manufatti di pregio le comunità dell’antica Puglia si affidavano per affermare, attraverso la scelta delle forme vascolari e delle loro raffigurazioni, i valori, le credenze e le esigenze di affermazione sociale. Essi costituiscono, quindi, una fondamentale fonte di conoscenza del mondo antico: la lettura della forma e delle immagini proposte nei diversi contributi qui presentati ne mostrano la complessità e l’importanza.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    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.

    Défendre un oppidum en Provence (2022)

    Details
    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.

    Bambini nel limbo (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Il volume offre una sintesi generale e un’analisi critica della documentazione disponibile (diretta e indiretta) relativa ai santuari fenici e punici chiamati tofet, esaminando le diverse proposte interpretative e cercando di prospettare nuove strade e di introdurre nuovi elementi. Dopo le prime scoperte archeologiche della seconda metà del XIX sec. e, soprattutto, dopo la scoperta del tofet di Cartagine nel 1921, questi santuari sono stati considerati il teatro di sacrifici umani, in connessione con le narrazioni di alcuni autori di lingua greco-romana e con la tradizione biblica relativa a Molek/Moloch. A queste ipotesi interpretative si sono affiancate, a partire dalla fine degli anni ’80 del secolo scorso, alcune tesi volte a negare in tutto o in parte l’ipotesi del sacrificio : esse considerano i bambini dei tofet morti per cause naturali e deposti in questi santuari per questioni iniziatico-rituali o come mezzo di comunicazione tra il fedele e la divinità. Il dibattito resta aperto : l’esame complessivo della documentazione non permette attualmente di « uscire dal limbo », cioè di prendere una posizione definitiva sull’argomento, ma soltanto di fissare alcuni punti fermi, escludere alcune opzioni e proporre delle ipotesi.

    Description: Thanks to this fourth volume belonging to a series which well represents the Department of Specialization in Archaeological Heritage of the University of Florence, it has been possible to restore a continuity, albeit with long intervals, which the editorial staff intends to consolidate by involving the entire Department’s “community” (while maintaining the importance of the students’ 'space'). The essays included in the volume, coming from every diachronic curriculum in the Department (pre-protohistoric, oriental, classical, medieval), bring out some trends, among which are the growth of interest in Islamic archaeology (an unexplained countertrend, nowadays), the full transversality of public archaeology or the confirmed articulation of the themes characterising the classical sector since its foundation. Furthermore, the variety of the students' backgrounds is validated, both as basic training and as an academic matrix, confirming the Department’s good response to current needs and expectations.

    Mineralogical Approaches to Archaeological Materials (2022)

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    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: Knjiga opisuje rezultate sedme sezone arheološkega rekognosciranja na jugovzhodu mehiške zvezne države Campeche. Terenski pregledi so bili opravljeni leta 2007 v južnem delu neposeljene Calakmulske biosfere. Površinska keramika in posebnosti arhitekture potrjujejo poselitev od srednje predklasične do zaključne klasične dobe, ugotovljeno že med predhodnimi terenskimi raziskavami, razkrivajo pa tudi povezave s sosednjimi območji. Registrirana najdišča so ostanki naselij, ki ustrezajo različnim hierarhičnim razredom. O družbenopolitičnem pomenu nekaterih urbanih središč pričajo monumentalne ceremonialne in upravne stavbe, pa tudi stele in drugi kamniti spomeniki. Podatki, doslej zbrani na jugovzhodu Campecheja, razkrivajo gostoto in raznovrstnost arheoloških ostankov in pomembno prispevajo k razumevanju družbene organizacije, politične geografije in splošnega kulturnega razvoja Majev v osrednjih nižavjih.

    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.

    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.

    Description: Title in English: Sources and Distribution of Selected High and Late Medieval Pottery Products. The publication is focused on late medieval pottery products with higher aesthetical effect. The key group is represented by stove tiles, where the unifying elements of relief decoration helped to define series of motifs for stoves with specific iconographic concept, which were found in various locations. The same approach can be also used with small ceramic sculptures, aquamaniles and relief-decorated floor tiles, even though the achieved information value in these cases is much lower. Micropetrographic, XRF and other analyses helped to identify the production centres and the distribution model of these ceramic groups. 3D documentation enabled a detailed comparison of differences between individual reliefs and specific traces of manufacturing procedures. Individual chapters contain active links to the source database of analysed items and to 3D models of selected specimens from reference collections.

    Description: V arhitekturi Majev izstopajo arhitektonski kompleksi z značilno konfiguracijo, imenovani po Skupini E na arheološkem najdišču Uaxactún v Gvatemali. Razširjeno mnenje je, da so imeli ti kompleksi posebno pomembno vlogo v astronomskih opazovanjih, nekateri raziskovalci pa jim tak pomen odrekajo in menijo, da gre predvsem za obredne stavbe, povezane s kozmološkimi pojmovanji. Kvantitativne analize podatkov o poravnavah, izmerjenih na vrsti najdišč, in značilnosti arheoloških kontekstov so pokazale, da so bile skupine E astronomsko funkcionalne, vendar niso imele nobene specifične vloge v astronomskih opazovanjih. Z navajanjem ustreznih dejstev tudi dokazujem, da so bile astronomske usmeritve, prvotno vgrajene v skupine E – ki predstavljajo najzgodnejšo standardizirano obliko monumentalne arhitekture Majev in katerih pojav v praktično vseh zgodnjih mestih v osrednjem delu polotoka Jukatana priča o njihovem družbenopolitičnem pomenu – kasneje prenesene na stavbe drugih tipov. Zato nam prav pomen astronomsko in kozmološko signifikantnih smeri, ki so bile najprej vključene v skupine E, omogoča razumevanje nekaterih pomembnih vidikov arhitekture in urbanizma Majev.

    Le Paléolithique supérieur de l’abri Pataud (Dordogne) (2022)
    Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme
    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.

    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.

    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.

    Lyon, Saint-Georges (2022)
    Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme
    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)
    Publications de l’École française de Rome
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    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: 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.

    Almacenamiento prehispánico (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: En su obra Les Chasseurs-cueilleurs ou l’origine des inégalrtés (1982), Alain Testart insiste en el papel que la práctica del almacenamiento pudo haber cobrado en el origen de las desigualdades en el seno de los grupos humanos, en particular entre las bandas de cazadores recolectores y, especialmente, aquellas más o menos sedentarizadas. En un artículo famoso, Kent V. Flannery (1973), por su parte, afirmaba que la aparición del modo de vida sedentario más había tenido que ver con la invención de las fosas de almacenaje que con la de la agricultura. Eso ejemplifica el carácter central que tuvo el acto de almacenar en diferentes contextos de la historia humana universal. No cabe duda de que, en la Mesoamérica prehispánica también, el almacenaje desempeñó un papel importante. Sin embargo, la arqueología y la etnohistoria no han prestado mucha atención al tema y a los vestigios -de hecho a menudo efímeros- que pueden hablar de este aspecto esencial de la vida económica y social. Al revisar datos procedentes de diferentes partes del Norte y Centro del México antiguo -desde Chihuahua hasta Morelos y Puebla, pasando por Michoacán y la Cuenca de México-, este volumen pretende empezar a llenar un vacío. Por otra parte, más allá de la simple recopilación de informaciones factuales, sus páginas introducen a discusiones fundamentales sobre las múltiples cuestiones que el estudio del almacenamiento en sociedades del pasado lleva a abordar: sus aspectos tecnológicos, pero también económicos, sociales y políticos, en otras palabras su dimensión antropológica.

    Description: The paintings discovered during excavation of this villa in the Limousin constitue a unicum in the context of the residential architecture of Roman Gaul. The most interesting of them commemorate a performance in the amphitheatre (figures of gladiators and venatores, scenes showing the spectators and the pompa witch opens the minus) and give the name of the benefactor, Romulus, owner of the villa, whose munificence has provided the performance. The study is completed by a history of the main dwelling-house through the successive transformations of this ground-plan and décor. This publication provides an exceptionally valuable illustration of the life and behavior of local Gallo-Roman notables during the IInd century AD

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This volume presents important results not only for archaeology in Provence but also increases our knowledge of the Mediterranean world at the very begining of the Middle Ages. The recent excavations of Saint-Blaise oppidum, near the Rhône delta, have brought to light the different stages of the reoccupation, from the 5th to the 7th century, of this protohistoric site. The ceramic assemblage testifies the importance of trade: red slip wares, amphorae, grey coarse wares from North Africa, the eastern Mediterranean and Liguria, regional slip wares (DS.P.), etc. The discovery of glass-ware with christian motifs and of vitrified crucibles indicates the existence of glass-working; stone, bone and metal objects, the coins, the fauna, especially the abundant remains of shellfish consumed, enrich the image of the life on this oppidum, one of the most important in Provence during this period of crisis and of change.

    Description: Un jour de 43 avant J.-C., L. Munatius Plancus, ancien lieutenant de César mêlé aux intrigues des guerres civiles, vient avec ses vétérans fonder la colonie romaine de Lugdunum, sur une colline au-dessus du confluent de la Saône et du Rhône. Aux alentours de 460, les Burgondes chassent définitivement le pouvoir romain et font de Lugdunum une de leurs capitales. À plusieurs reprises au cours de ces cinq siècles, l’histoire de Lyon rencontre l’Histoire tout court, celle de l’Empire romain. Des empereurs naissent à Lyon ; un autre y aurait été proclamé ; plusieurs y meurent tragiquement. Une ville gauloise, romaine, orientale aussi, se bâtit, brûle, se défend, subit le pillage. Des populations venues du plus loin de l’Empire (soldats, fonctionnaires, commerçants, médecins, hommes libres, affranchis ou esclaves) y passent, s’y installent, se mêlent ou s’affrontent, avec leurs langues, leurs coutumes et leurs croyances. De ces événements souvent tragiques, parfois comiques, l’archéologie et l’épigraphie ont révélé de nombreux témoignages. Pour la plupart d’entre eux cependant, faute de traces exhumées du sol d’une ville qui occupe toujours le même emplacement, les descriptions et les récits des géographes, historiens, hagiographes, ou encore des poètes de l’Antiquité et des débuts du Moyen Âge, restent pour nous irremplaçables. Bon nombre de ces textes originaux sont proposés ici. Certains, célèbres, ne sont en réalité connus que par ouï-dire, par une tradition qui en a déformé la signification. D’autres dormaient dans des recueils accessibles aux seuls spécialistes – et ce ne sont pas les moins vivants ! Tous sont présentés, traduits et rapidement commentés. Ces vingt dernières années, les recherches archéologiques, épigraphiques et historiques ont profondément renouvelé ce que nous savons de Lyon dans l’Antiquité. Cette seconde édition, corrigée, augmentée de nombreux textes méconnus et illustrée, tient le plus grand compte des progrès accomplis.

    Animal Metropolis (2022)
    University of Calgary Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-07-19
    Description: Animal Metropolis brings a Canadian perspective to the growing field of animal history, ranging across species and cities, from the beavers who engineered Stanley Park to the carthorses who shaped the city of Montreal. Some essays consider animals as spectacle: orca captivity in Vancouver, polar bear tourism in Churchill, Manitoba, fish on display in the Dominion Fisheries Museum, and the racialized memory of Jumbo the elephant in St. Thomas, Ontario. Others examine the bodily intimacies of shared urban spaces: the regulation of rabid dogs in Banff, the maternal politics of pure milk in Hamilton and the circulation of tetanus bacilli from horse to human in Toronto. Another considers the marginalization of women in Canada’s animal welfare movement. The authors collectively push forward from a historiography that features nonhuman animals as objects within human-centered inquiries to a historiography that considers the eclectic contacts, exchanges, and cohabitation of human and nonhuman animals. With contributions by: Kristoffer Archibald, Jason Colby, George Colpitts, Joanna Dean, Carla Hustak, Darcy Ingram, Sean Kheraj, William Knight, Sherry Olson, Rachel Poliquin, and Christabelle Sethna

    Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The excavations carried out on the lines of the A28 an A29 motorways have brought to light two sites from the Middle Palacolithic (-300 000 - -30 000). The desposits at Pucheuil and at Etoutteville (Haute-Normandie) yielded important lithic series with numerous reassemblies of waste flakes. At Pucheuil, two human occupations were observed in the context of a doline. They ear individualized by their particular technological traditions which both stem from the santé chain of production : the Levallois technique. This, in association with a volumetric conception of the nucleus which resembles those of the Upper Palaeolithic, characterises the laminar production of Etoutteville. The spatial analysis of the reassembled groups of material identify the site as a knapping workshop. These results, complemented by a presentation of the geomorphological and stratigraphical frameworks, represent a solid contribution to our knowledge of the Prehistory of north-west Europe.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The site of Warren Field in Scotland revealed two unusual and enigmatic features; an alignment of pits and a large, rectangular feature interpreted as a timber building. Excavations confirmed that the timber structure was an early Neolithic building and that the pits had been in use from the Mesolithic. This report details the excavations and reveals that the hall was associated with the storage and or consumption of cereals, including bread wheat, and pollen evidence suggests that the hall may have been part of a larger area of activity involving cereal cultivation and processing. The pits are fully documented and environmental evidence sheds light on the surrounding landscape.

    Archaeology on the Apulian – Lucanian Border (2022)
    Archaeopress Publishing | Archaeopress Publishing Ltd
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The broad valley of the Bradano river and its tributary the Basentello separates the Apennine mountains in Lucania from the limestone plateau of the Murge in Apulia in South East Italy. For millennia the valley has functioned both as a cultural and political divide between the two regions, and as a channel for new ideas transmitted from South to North or vice versa depending on the political and economic conditions of the time. Archaeology on the Apulian – Lucanian Border aims to explain how the pattern of settlement and land use changed in the valley over the whole period from Neolithic to Late Medieval, taking account of changing environmental conditions, and setting the changes in a broader political, social and cultural context. There are three levels of focus. The first is on the results of a field survey (1996-2006) in the Basentello valley by teams from the Universities of Alberta, Edinburgh, and Bari, directed by the authors. The second concerns the discoveries of earlier field surveys in the late 1960s and early 1970s undertaken in connection with excavations on Botromagno near Gravina in Puglia. The third is a much broader synthesis of the results of recent scholarship using archaeological, epigraphic and literary sources to reconstruct an archaeological history of the valley and the surrounding area. The creation of a vast imperial estate at Vagnari around the end of the 1st century BC and its long-lasting impact on the pattern of settlement in the area is a significant theme in the later chapters of the book.

    Ideology and Holy Landscape in the Baltic Crusades (2022)
    Arc Humanities Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This book examines how the military orders and the ideology of crusading gave rise to a new sacred landscape in the medieval Baltic region, an outpost of Latin Christianity. Drawing on a wide variety of sources and international scholarship, the book discusses the paganism of the landscape in written sources pre-dating the crusades, in addition to the narrative, legal, and visual evidence of the crusade period. It draws out the key sacralizing elements as expressed in those sources, which structure the definition of sacred landscape, particularly martyrdom, the manifestation of the sacred, and use of relics in battle. By analyzing these aspects with Geographical Information Systems (GIS), a map of the Baltic campaigns emerges that provides a fresh approach to studying contemporary views of holy war in a region with no initial links to the loca sancta of Jerusalem or Europe.

    Orientaciones astronómicas en la arquitectura de Mesoamérica: Oaxaca y el Golfo de México (2022)
    ZRC SAZU, Založba ZRC
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: This monograph presents the results of a systematic study of orientations in prehispanic architecture of two sub-areas of Mesoamerica. The alignment data for a number of civic and ceremonial buildings were collected with field measurements at 42 archaeological sites in the cultural regions of Oaxaca and the Gulf of Mexico.
    Description: V knjigi so predstavljeni rezultati raziskave astronomskega pomena orientacij v predšpanski arhitekturi dveh podobmočij Mezoamerike. Analize terensko pridobljenih podatkov so pokazale, da so bile pomembne stavbe usmerjene povečini proti Sončevim vzhajališčem in zahajališčem na določene datume, nekatere pa verjetno proti skrajnim Luninim točkam na horizontu. Na osnovi kontekstualnih podatkov je mogoče sklepati, da so opazovalni koledarji, katerih uporabo so omogočale solarne orientacije, olajševali primerno načrtovanje poljedelskih dejavnosti in povezanih obredov. Usmeritve v več primerih ustrezajo tudi izstopajočim hribom na horizontu, kar pomeni, da so bila mesta za gradnjo pomembnih stavb izbrana na osnovi tako astronomskih kot topografskih kriterijev. Rezultati študije razkrivajo koncepte, ki so narekovali arhitekturno in urbano načrtovanje na območjih raziskave in ki odsevajo vidike mezoameriškega pogleda na svet, obenem pa osvetljujejo splošne tendence v razvoju praks orientiranja ter skupne in razhajajoče se razvojne poti v posameznih regijah, s čimer prispevajo tudi k razumevanju procesov kulturne interakcije v zgodovini Mezoamerike.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: For about ten years numerous studies have been carried out in France about roman lamps. This one, for the first time and for a masters’ degree research, is oriented toward the systematic study of productions from several potters’ workshops in Montans (Tarn), ail from welldated archaeological context. More than a simple descriptive inventory, the author gives us a chronology of the Ist and IInd centuries. Her analysis of three associated criteria (decoration/type/sig nature, mark), based upon the study of 900 pieces, reveals some original aspects of the potters’ practice and leads to interesting interpretations about the technique used most of the time in Montans which consists in making moulds from lamps already in use.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: This publication concerns the history of the Tuscan Capuchin convents since their foundation in the 18th century, analysed through the transcription and critical edition of a manuscript written in 1704 by Filippo Bernardi da Firenze (1649-1721). It is a source of great interest both for considering the events happening in the convents, and more generally for the history of Tuscany itself. In fact, the manuscript collects numerous transcribed documents - dating from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century - whose originals are now partially lost. Through these testimonies it is possible to retrace the events of the Tuscan communities and obtain numerous information of a social, anthropological and cultural nature. The manuscript is preceded by a historical introduction to the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin and by the biography of Filippo da Firenze.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Stratton, Biggleswade: 1,300 years of village life in eastern Bedfordshire from the 5th century AD presents the results of 12 hectares of archaeological excavation undertaken between 1990 and 2001. As well as uncovering roughly half of the medieval village, the investigations revealed that Stratton’s origins stretched back to the early Anglo-Saxon period, with the settlement remaining in continuous use through to c. 1700. In contrast to many of the other major excavations of Anglo-Saxon settlements, the evidence from Stratton provides insights into the lives of a low-status rural community, whose development can be traced over the course of more than a millennium. This book presents a chronological account of Stratton’s development; evidence for its economy, trading relations, industrial activities and agricultural landscape; and a discussion of how people lived and died there before the village was finally extinguished by the creation of the classic estate landscape of Stratton Park.

    Le bouquetin dans l’art paléolithique en Europe méditerranéenne (2022)
    CNRS Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Au cours du Paléolithique supérieur, le Bouquetin a suscité une multitude de représentations dans les cavernes fréquentées par les Hommes. Thème majeur de l’art préhistorique, il se retrouve dans nombre de grottes ornées d’un espace méditerranéen qui s’étend des Pouilles à la baie de Malaga, en passant par l’aire rhodano-languedocienne (311 figurations dans les 44 sites inventoriés). Dans chacun de ces dispositifs ornés, les figures du Bouquetin s’insèrent selon une morphosyntaxe spécifique. Leur liens et leurs compositions avec les autres figurations forment un ensemble cohérent de significations qui participe du récit mythique représenté sur ces parois. Cet ouvrage, première synthèse sur le sujet, offre une analyse descriptive des représentations de l’espèce, parfois inédites, en s’appuyant sur l’étude comparée des nombreux foyers « à bouquetins » méditerranéens, et en opérant une mise en perspective de ces figurations avec celles des cavernes occidentales ou plus septentrionales. Sans rigoureusement s’indexer sur les phases industrielles qu’elle déborde, ni suivre un trajet forcément linéaire, l’évolution technostylistique met en lumière des courants d’influence culturelle, en particulier lors de la période solutréenne, donnant vie à une première civilisation méditerranéenne qui s’étendra jusque dans le Quercy et les Charentes et atteindra, à un degré moindre, l’Aquitaine, les Cantabres et les Asturies. Au travers de cette monographie exceptionnelle, le Bouquetin retrouve l’éclat et la prégnance qu’il exerça sur les esprits des Paléolithiques méditerranéens.

    Description: Organisé dans le cadre du Réseau Thématique Pluridisciplinaire « Paysage et Environnement » du CNRS et dans le but affiché de favoriser les échanges disciplinaires ainsi que la diffusion des recherches de jeunes chercheurs, le colloque « Paysages et environnement. De la reconstitution du passé aux modèles prospectifs » a rassemblé une large communauté scientifique ainsi que de nombreux représentants d’organismes publics impliqués dans l’étude, la gestion ou la conservation des paysages et de l’environnement. Articulé autour de trois thèmes principaux : « Le passé : reconstitutions, transmission et nouveaux indicateurs des dynamiques environnementales » ; « Représentations sociales et formes de l’action » et enfin « Modélisation, scénarios prospectifs et rétro-prospectifs », ce volume réunit trente-six articles. Il brosse un tableau représentatif du dynamisme et de la richesse des recherches menées aujourd’hui dans ces domaines, qu’il s’agisse d’études mono-disciplinaires ou d’approches interdisciplinaires intégrées. Les contributions, originales pour la plupart, résultent de travaux ou de programmes de recherches collectifs faisant appel à des approches traditionnelles ainsi qu’à des démarches innovantes visant à la reconstitution des environnements et des paysages du passé mais aussi, dans le cadre d’approches prospectives, à la détermination de leurs évolutions futures.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Researches in Cypriote History and Archaeology collects the Proceedings of an international meeting held in Florence in April 2009. The title and the contributions disclose how the original planning of a workshop in Florence evolved in time. A report of the University of Florence research activity in the Kouris river valley has been initially planned; as soon as the idea of the meeting was advertised, it was found appropriate to enlarge the horizon and to include in the discussion further issues on Cypriote History, Archaeology and Philology. It will, thus, be seen that starting from the Kouris Valley a kind of small overview on Bronze and Iron Age Cyprus has been put together. A wide variety of themes and interests raised up during the meeting in Florence, as well as a positive esprit de collaboration which allowed to share new results of interesting researches in progress, open further possibilities of exchanges and lead us to hope for a new meeting dedicated to Cypriote History and Archaeology, to be planned in Tuscany in a next future.

    Manuel de gestion du mobilier archéologique (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The management of archaeological artefacts calls upon knowledge and practices originating in diverse disciplines, which Silvia Païn, a respected conservation-restoration specialist, presents here to professionals. The different situations faced while performing this work are addressed in methodological terms and in these pages professionals will find the tools necessary to develop their procedure and management system in a global manner. They will also find all of the practical advice necessary to ensure the long term conservation of remains and to guarantee their accessibility to researchers. A thorough knowledge of the material and its alteration is the foundation of the conservation procedure: Païn argues that it is essential to take into account the transformations undergone by the material while it is buried and when it is uncovered since the definition of indispensable preventive measures must be based on an informed evaluation of the risks. In effect, throughout the course of an object’s existence —from its discovery to its study— its conservation consists of interventions that are integrated within a coherent and continual process. Managing the material also implies ensuring its physical and intellectual accessibility: the reader will find useful advice on how to create an inventory and preserve the associated records, broadly understood as the link between the object, its data, the documentation generated by it and its field records. The reader will learn to how to develop material and computer-based infrastructures based on a detailed consideration of the activities of their users, while integrating the issues surrounding the optimal use of storage spaces. At the end of this work, Païn reviews the regulatory and legal obligations of rescue archaeologists, depositary personnel, owners and legal representatives. The current regulations are also presented, along with recommendations for developing or modifying those of the structure in which the artefact manager is working. In this complete and up-to-date manual, the conservation-restoration professional, artefact manager, and more broadly, archaeologists and their administrators, will find an indispensable tool for their daily practices.

    Les ensembles funéraires du Bronze final et de La Tène ancienne des Martres-d’Artière (Puy-de-Dôme) (2022)
    CNRS Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Dans la plaine alluviale de l’Allier, sur la commune des Martres-d’Artière (Puy-de-Dôme), deux aires funéraires distinctes ont été fouillées : l’une avec des sépultures et des enclos circulaires du Bronze final 1 et 2 ancien ; l’autre avec 25 tombes de La Tène ancienne dans un enclos trapézoïdal. Elles offrent l’image d’un ensemble de très grande taille composé de petits groupes de tombes et de monuments probablement établis le long d’un axe majeur de communication. Par l’étude exhaustive des monuments, des dispositifs funéraires et de l’ensemble du matériel, le présent ouvrage décrit des pratiques funéraires encore mal connues en Basse-Auvergne pour la période. Une parure de perles en ambre et en or du Bronze final dans une inhumation, un ceinturon militaire de La Tène ancienne dans deux autres tombes, la pratique conjointe de l’inhumation et de la crémation pour la même période, une structure énigmatique, vide, qui jouxte un dépôt de crémation à l’intérieur d’un enclos du Bronze final : autant d’éléments notables que cet ensemble a livrés. L’analyse de l’enclos de La Tène ancienne, utilisé entre le deuxième quart du ve s. et le début du iiie s. av. J.-C., permet par ailleurs d’établir des dynamiques diachroniques d’implantation des sépultures, de proposer des hypothèses sur son aspect originel et son évolution, et aussi de discuter son recrutement et son organisation interne. Cette monographie offre une synthèse inédite ainsi qu’un catalogue analytique d’un site fondamental livrant de nouvelles connaissances sur les dispositifs et les pratiques funéraires, et plus largement sur les sociétés de l’âge du Bronze final et de La Tène ancienne dans le Centre-Est de la France.

    Ceramic Production in the American Southwest (2022)
    University of Arizona Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Southwestern ceramics have always been admired for their variety and aesthetic beauty. Although ceramics are most often used for placing the peoples who produced them in time, they can also provide important clues to past economic organization. This volume covers nearly 1000 years of southwestern prehistory and history, focusing on ceramic production in a number of environmental and economic contexts. It brings together the best of current research to illustrate the variation in the organization of production evident in this single geographic area. The contributors use diverse research methods in their studies of vessel form and decoration. All support the conclusion that the specialized production of ceramics for exchange beyond the household was widespread. The first seven chapters focus on ceramic production in specific regions, followed by three essays that re-examine basic concepts and offer new perspectives. Because previous studies of southwestern ceramics have focused more on distribution than production, Ceramic Production in the American Southwest fills a long-felt need for scholars in that region and offers a broad-based perspective unique in the literature. The Southwest lacked high levels of sociopolitical complexity and economic differentiation, making this volume of special interest to scholars working in similar contexts and to those interested in craft production.

    Jablines Le Haut Château (Seine-et-Marne) (2022)
    Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: This volume is the first of the series “Archéologie et grands travaux”, created within the DAF series to welcome the publication of large scale rescue excavations, and in part financed by developers of projects in rural or urban situations. Discovered during excavations carried out before construction work on the northern TGV line, the site of jablines uncovered a neolithic flint mine which became the object, for the first time in France, of large scale excavation. More than 1 000 features had been located and 58 shafts completly explored. The results of these studies conducted by a pluridisplinary team are presented here in detail. Finally, the site is placed within its regional environment and compared to sites of the same type in France and the rest of Europe.

    La sidérurgie chez les Sénons : les ateliers celtiques et gallo-romains des Clérimois (Yonne) (2022)
    Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Discovered during the construction of the A5 motorway, the early metalworking site of the Clérimois (Yonne) delivered the remains of some ten workshops which produced iron between the 4th century B.C. and the 5th century A. D. The published results are many: descriptions and typologies of the structures (18 furnaces studied), anthracology and analyses of the ores and slags. The study of the forges has allowed an estimation of the overall production: 5 000 tonnes of iron from 15 500 tonnes of smelted ore. Four fifths of this iron was produced between the end of the La Tène period and the 2nd century A.D. by large furnaces equipped with systems for removing the slag. These data can already be considered as a reference in the study of ancient metallurgy.
