Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoires Et Documents, Vol. 8: Publies par la Societe d'Histoire Et d'Archeologie de Geneve De nos jours, c'est l'esprit contraire qui prevaut, car les plaques commemoratives sont a l'ordre du jour; on en grave meme pour des etrangers, celebres dans leur art, qui ont sejourne seulement quelques annees dans notre ville. Il devient donc naturel que l'attention se porte de plus en plus sur ces victimes, la plupart assez obscures de l'am bitiou et de la traitrise d'un potentat du dix-sept1eme siecle et de chercher a faire revivre, si possible, leurs physio nomies et leurs milieux sociaux. Je n'aurai garde non plus d'oublier ceux des autres defenseurs qui se signalerent par leur vaillance vis-a-vis de l'ennemi.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoires Et Documents: Publies par la Societe d'Histoire Et d'Archeologie de Geneve C'est la ce qui pourrait expliquer les variations dans l'orientation des tombeaux. Celte remarque doit surtout s'appliquer aux cimetieres places pres de hautes montagnes ou les differents points de lever du soleil etant assez eloignes les uns des autres, ont amene une assez grande deviation dans la direction des tombes, pour qu'on crut que la loi n'avait pas ete observee dans ces localites. Ce fait offre ceci de curieux, c'est qu'il pourrait indiquer qu'on s'est servi pendant tout le cours d'une annee de l'emplacement pour lieu d'inhumation, ce qui est en contradiction avec l'idee d'un combat. Comment d'ailleurs croire qu'apres une bataille on aurait pris un tel soin pour la construction de tombes separees. En outre, les tombes ne sont pas horizontales mais un peu inclinees vers l'orient, la tete etant placee dans la partie la plus elevee. Chaque tombe a la forme d'un parallelipipede, dont les cotes sont formes, suivant les localites, d'une dalle de gres ou de gneiss d'un ponce et demi a deux pouces d'epaisseur et non de trois a quatre pouces comme le sont ceux qui ont ete trouves par M. Troyon, a Bel-Air, pres Cheseaux. Le plateau superieur depasse de tous les cotes le vide forme par les autres d'une quantite assez notable pour empecher l'eau d'y penetrer. Cela se voit surtout dans les tombes tres-soignees, mais tres-rares, ou l'on trouve un mur en pierres seches soutenant les plateaux lateraux et des traces non equivoques d'un mortier applique aux joints. Ces pierres, quoique non taillees, joignent exactement entre elles; ce qui parfois m'a fort embarrasse. Souvent, sans qu'on puisse en donner la raison, une tombe ne renferme que les ossements et une antre, quoique placee a cote de la precedente, est remplie presque entierement de terre.

Download or read book European Archaeology Abroad written by S.J. van der Linde and published by Sidestone Press. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are European archaeologists doing abroad? What have they been doing there for the past three to four centuries? Are they doing things differently nowadays? To address these questions, this book explores the scope, impact and ethics of European archaeological policies and practices in the Mediterranean area, the Near East, sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and Latin America. Acknowledging that international and transcultural projects have a range of different stakeholders, the first part of this book aims to identify some of the values and motivations behind different European archaeologies abroad. This is done by providing thorough historical overviews on a range of European countries, including France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Poland. But how are these values translated, through socio-political, theoretical and administrative frameworks, unto local circumstances in host countries? And how are these archaeological activities received locally? The second part of this book attempts to answer these questions through a range of historical and contemporary case studies, in Africa, in Asia, in South America, in the Near East and in Europe. The third part of the book offers several critical reflections on European values, motivations and collaboration projects, as perceived by archaeological heritage professionals based in, and/or working in Senegal, Sudan, Somaliland, Colombia, and the Near East. This collection of historical overviews, contemporary case studies and critical reflections focuses on the challenging relationships between archaeological practices and policies, including the requirements and wishes of archaeologists, of local communities and of other stakeholders in Europe and in the host countries. In addition to researchers and students, this book should be of interest to practicing archaeologists, heritage professionals and policy makers the world over, as they seek to reach better informed decisions regarding archaeological projects and international collaboration. This publication was produced in the framework of the ACE project – “Archaeology in Contemporary Europe. Professional Practices and Public Outreach”, with the support of the Culture 2007-2013 programme of the European Commission.

Download or read book Lagoa Santa Karst Brazil s Iconic Karst Region written by Augusto S. Auler and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the Lagoa Santa Karst, which has been internationally known since the pioneering studies of the Danish naturalist Peter Lund in the early 1800s. It covers the speleogenesis, geology, vegetation, fauna, hydrogeology, geomorphology, and anthropogenic use of the Lagoa Santa Karst and is the first English-language book on this major karst area. The area, which has been at the heart of the debate on the origin and age of human colonization in the Americas, is characterized by a classical and scenic karst landscape with limestone cliffs, karst lakes and karst plains, in addition to numerous solution dolines. More than 1,000 caves have been documented in the area, many with significant archeological and paleontological value. Despite its great importance, the Lagoa Santa Karst faces severe environmental threats due to limestone mining and the expansion of the metropolis of Belo Horizonte and its surrounding towns. The growing recognition of the area’s remarkable significance has led to increasing concern, and a number of protected areas have now been established, improving the conservation status of this landmark karst area.

This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos is a series dedicated to the inventory and description of the deep-sea fauna of the world, with special emphasis on their most extensive--but remote and least-explored--habitats: the Indo-West Pacific. Growing out of marine expeditions undertaken by the French National Museum of Natural History and the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, the series continues to present many new, strange, and sometimes colorful invertebrates. The present volume presents results from recent expeditions within the New Caledonian Exclusive Economic Zone, reporting ninety-eight species (including fifty-seven new species) of corals from the Stylasteridae family and one new calcified species of hydrozoa from the family Hydractiniidae. Including numerous seamounts, submarine ridges, and small islands, New Caledonia's deep-sea benthos are ideal habitat for stylasterids, making it the most species-rich marine region in the world for this taxon.
