Download or read book Sourcebook of Paleolithic Transitions written by Marta Camps and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the study of Palaeolithic technologies moves towards a more analytical approach, it is necessary to determine a consistent procedural framework. The contributions to this timely and comprehensive volume do just that. This volume incorporates a broad chronological and geographical range of Palaeolithic material from the Lower to Upper Palaeolithic. The focus of this volume is to provide an analysis of Palaeolithic technologies from a quantitative, empirical perspective. As new techniques, particularly quantitative methods, for analyzing Palaeolithic technologies gain popularity, this work provides case studies particularly showcasing these new techniques. Employing diverse case studies, and utilizing multivariate approaches, morphometrics, model-based approaches, phylogenetics, cultural transmission studies, and experimentation, this volume provides insights from international contributors at the forefront of recent methodological advances.

Download or read book Memory and the Mountain written by Timothy Clack and published by British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited. This book was released on 2007 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the relationships between memory, experience and landscape from insights gained conducting ethnographic research; its primary focus is the Wachagga of Kilimanjaro, East Africa. In so doing this investigation into the memoryscape mightbe labelled an 'archaeological ethnography' for not only is it an ethnography produced by an archaeologist, it was conducted with archaeological applications in mind. The motivation of this ethnographical research was the theorisation of some issues involved in landscape archaeology. There has been considerable attention given to the religious dimensions of archaeological landscapes. The purpose of this study is to augment such appreciations by theorising the complex environmental relationsof a contemporary culture. Such theorisation enables recognition of the wealth of human experience that is archaeologically unknowable.

Download or read book Archaeology and History in l r District Central Yorubaland Nigeria 1200 1900 A D written by Akinwumi Ogundiran and published by BAR International Series. This book was released on 2002 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociopolitical changes in the Ilare district of central Yorubaland in Nigeria led to the nucleation of small villages into larger towns and a new form of institutional organisation based on dynastic rules. This report studies the settlement history of the Ilare district from AD 1200 to 1900, its sociopolitical development and the transformation of its material culture based on oral history, ethnography and archaeology (investigations carried out in the late 1980s and 1990s). This evidence is then placed into a regional context lokking at how broader historical processes affected the Ilare area.
Download or read book The So Pots of Central Africa written by Graham Connah and published by BAR International Series. This book was released on 2019 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Archaeology, Volume 91 This book is an original study of very large pots in parts of Chad, Cameroon and Nigeria. Found in excavations and surface fieldwork, they have been attributed to the So, a group of pre-Islamic inhabitants of the area before the sixteenth century AD, who have become mythologised as giants. Originally for burial, in some cases the pots have been dug up by villagers and reused: for brewing beer or as dye pits for indigo cloth. The book focuses on a group of these pots that survived until the late twentieth century in villages in a small part of Borno, north-eastern Nigeria. With the passage of time and terrorist activities in the region, their fate is now unknown and the photographs from 1963 to 1993 reproduced in this book have become a major archive of an unusual pottery group.

Download or read book Conserving Wildlife in African Landscapes written by Nicholas Georgiadis and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last two decades, conservation strategies in Africa have changed from an almost exclusive focus on large mammals in protected areas to an emphasis on conserving ecological processes at the level of entire landscapes and on the role of human communities. The papers assembled in this volume address diverse aspects of conserving the Ewaso landscape in northern Kenya, where concerted and prodigious efforts to conserve wildlife and natural resources have achieved substantial progress. Topics range from interpreting evidence for continuity and change in patterns of human settlement in the region to describing ecological interactions between wildlife, people, and livestock that are harmful or helpful; from the challenges of adapting livestock management in the presence of predators to legal mechanisms for conserving wildlife habitat on private land. In the final chapter, results of a strategic planning exercise are described for conserving essential elements in the entire landscape -- the first of its kind in Kenya. Today, national policy and political will are still insufficiently aligned with this landscape conservation imperative to effect the changes that are necessary to conserve Kenya's biodiversity. We hope this volume will help propagate awareness about the importance and threatened status of Kenya's ecosystems and promote confidence that a policy can be crafted that will reverse their decline.
