Book Dealing with biases

Download or read book Dealing with biases written by Hendrik Feiken and published by Barkhuis. This book was released on 2014-09-18 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This books explores the bias that is introduced by erosion and sedimentation on the distribution of archaeological materials in Mediterranean landscapes. It describes innovative and interdisciplinary work that led to the formulation of a broad range of geo-archeological approaches that are applied to two Italian areas, studied intensively by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology: the Pontine Region in South Lazio, and the Raganello Basin in North Calabria. The approaches deal with geological biases affecting the study of protohistoric remains in the sedimentary part of the Pontine plain; the development of a detailed landscape classification approach to predict and test site location preferences and survey biases in the uplands of both study areas; and the development and evaluation of an innovative computerised landscape evolution model for a test area in the Raganello Basin uplands. In addition to the presented case study, this book also shows how the three geo-archaeological approaches can be applied in a wider context to quantitatively understand how erosion and sedimentation bias our understanding of archaeological records.

Download or read book The Origin of Humankind written by Massimiliano Aloisi and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the fascinating topic of the origin of humankind. Some of its important areas - from palaeontology to genetics - have yielded striking contributions. However, it also has aspects that transcend science, and probe deeply into domains that do not pertain to scientific culture proper - such as religion and philosophy. The volume brings together contributions from a group of palaeontologists and geneticists, who present an update of knowledge on the topic; the Out of Africa theory; the demise of the Neanderthal; and the Italian scene.

Book The People and the State

Download or read book The People and the State written by P.A.J. Attema and published by Barkhuis. This book was released on 2021-05-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the fourth in the series Corollaria Crustumina and deals with the results of the project The People and the State, Material culture, social structure, and political centralisation in Central Italy (800-450 BC). This project of the Groningen Institute of Archaeology, carried out between 2010 and 2015 in close collaboration with the Archaeological Service of Rome, deals with the changing socio-political situation at ancient Crustumerium resulting from Rome's rise to power. The volume brings together data from the domains of geology, geoarchaeology, urban and rural settlement archaeology, funerary archaeology, material culture studies as well as osteological and isotope analyses. On the basis of these data, a relationship is established between changes in material culture on the one hand and developments in social structure and political centralisation in Central Italy on the other in the period between 850 and 450 BC.

Book Modelling Geomorphological Systems

Download or read book Modelling Geomorphological Systems written by M. G. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 1988-07-04 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discusses a broad spectrum of topics in current modelling research in hillslope and river channel processes. The book is designed to provide a coherent basis for understanding the potential range of modelling activity within hillslope and channel process investigations and to give readers an appreciation of the modelling challenges that still remain. Topics cover research in specific areas of process study, including equilibrium, mathematical, network, and flow process models. Also discussed are alternative modelling approaches within specific fields, model validation and verification, and the development of computer simulation as a significant and established element in geomorphological investigations.

Book The Southwest Necropolis of Satricum

Download or read book The Southwest Necropolis of Satricum written by Marijke Gnade and published by Rozenberg Publishers/Thela Thesis. This book was released on 1992 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the final report of the rescue excavations, which took place from 1989 to 1986 in the Southwest Necropolis of Satricum (Borgo Le Ferriere, Latium), well known in antiquity for its sanctuary of the Latin goddess Mater Matuta. They were carried out as a part of the Satricum Research Project, which started in 1977 under the auspieces of the Dutch Institute in Rome. The Southwest Necropolis has been attribute to the Volscians, an indigenous people of central Italy who, according to Livy, captured Sactricum in 488 B.C. Presumably, they stayed there until 346 B.C. The non-Latian character of the necropolis seems to be confirmed by archaeological evidence like the remarkable burial gift of a miniature lead axe-head with an inscription in an indigenous dialect. Other evidence for the Volcian identification includes the intramural location of the graves, some of the pottery shapes, and the regular presence of grave goods. So far, the Southwest Necropolis is the only known cemetery in Latium from this period in which the graves regularly contain burial gifts. More than 200 trench graves have been documented, 167 of which have been completely excavated. Inhumation is the only recorded form of burial in most of cases in rectangular wooden coffins.
