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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 A Companion to the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East written by D. T. Potts and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 1509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A COMPANION TO THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST A Companion to the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East is a comprehensive and authoritative overview of ancient material culture from the late Pleistocene to Late Antiquity. This expansive two-volume work includes 58 new essays from an international community of ancient Near East scholars. With coverage extending from Asia Minor, the eastern Mediterranean, and Egypt to the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Indo-Iranian borderlands, the book highlights the enormous variation in cultural developments across roughly 11,000 years of human endeavor. In addition to chapters devoted to specific regions and particular periods, many contributors concentrate on individual industries and major themes in ancient Near Eastern archaeology, ranging from metallurgy and agriculture to irrigation and fishing. Controversial issues, including the nature and significance of the antiquities market, ethical considerations in archaeological praxis, the history of the foundation of departments of antiquities, and ancient attitudes towards the past, make this a unique collection of studies that will be of interest to scholars, students, and interested readers alike.
Download or read book Reading Prehistoric Human Tracks written by Andreas Pastoors and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book explains that after long periods of prehistoric research in which the importance of the archaeological as well as the natural context of rock art has been constantly underestimated, research has now begun to take this context into focus for documentation, analysis, interpretation and understanding. Human footprints are prominent among the long-time under-researched features of the context in caves with rock art. In order to compensate for this neglect an innovative research program has been established several years ago that focuses on the merging of indigenous knowledge and western archaeological science for the benefit of both sides. The book gathers first the methodological diversity in the analysis of human tracks. Here major representatives of anthropological, statistical and traditional approaches feature the multi-layered methods available for the analysis of human tracks. Second it compiles case studies from around the globe of prehistoric human tracks. For the first time, the most important sites which have been found worldwide are published in a single publication. The third focus of this book is on firsthand experiences of researchers with indigenous tracking experts from around the globe, expounding on how archaeological sciencecan benefit from the ancestral knowledge. This book will be of interest to professional archaeologists, graduate students, ecologists, cultural anthropologists and laypeople, especially those focussing on hunting-gathering and pastoralist communities and who appreciate indigenous knowledge.--

Download or read book Minerva s Message written by Martin S. Staum and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1996-10-17 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In theory the CMPS was set up to enshrine the human and social studies that were at the heart of Enlightenment culture. Staum illustrates, however, that the Institute helped transform key ideas of the Enlightenment in order to maintain civil rights while upholding social stability, and that the social and political assumptions on which it was based affected notions of social science. He traces the careers of individual members and the factions within the Institute, arguing that the discord within the CMPS reflects the unravelling of Enlightenment culture. Minerva's Message presents a valuable overview of the intellectual life of the period and brings together new evidence about the social sciences in their nascent period.

Download or read book Computer aided Tolerancing written by Fumihiko Kimura and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory and practice of tolerances are very important for designing and manufacturing engineering artifacts on a rational basis. Tolerance specifies a degree of "discrepancy" between an idealized object and its physical realization. Such discrepancy inevitably comes into our product realization processes because of practical cost consideration or our inability to fully control manufacturing processes. Major product and production characteristics which are affected by tolerances are product quality and cost. For achieving high precision machines tight tolerance specification is necessary, but this will normally increase product cost. In order to optimally compromise the conflicting requirements of quality and cost, it is essential to take into account of the total product life cycle throughout product planning, design, manufacturing, maintenance and recycling. For example, in order to construct durable products under severe working conditions, low sensitivity of product functionality with respect to tolerances is required. In future, re-use of components or parts will become important, and tolerance synthesis with respect to this aspect will be an interesting future research topics.

Download or read book Aramis Or The Love of Technology written by Bruno Latour and published by . This book was released on 1996-04-15 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruno Latour has written a unique and wonderful tale of a technological dream gone wrong. The story of the birth and death of Aramis—the guided-transportation system intended for Paris—is told in this thought-provoking and fictional account by several different parties: an engineer and his professor; company executives and elected officials; a sociologist; and finally Aramis itself, who delivers a passionate plea on behalf of technological innovations that risk being abandoned by their makers. As the young engineer and professor follow Aramis’s trail—conducting interviews, analyzing documents, assessing the evidence—perspectives keep shifting: the truth is revealed as multilayered, unascertainable, comprising an array of possibilities worthy of Rashomon. This charming and profound book, part novel and part sociological study, is Latour at his thought-provoking best.
