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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wasser ist eine globale Ressource für heutige Gesellschaften – Wasser war eine globale Ressource vormoderner Gesellschaften. Die manigfaltigen unterschiedlicher Wassersysteme für Prozesse der Urbanisierung und das urbane Leben in der Antike und dem Mittelalter ist bislang kaum erforscht. Die zahlreichen Beiträge dieses Bandes fragen nach der grundlegenden kulturellen Bedeutung von Wasser ( bzw. power of water) in der Stadt und Wasser für die Stadt aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Symbolische, ästhetische oder kultische Aspekte werden ebenso thematisiert wie die Rolle von Wasser in Politik, Gesellschaft oder Wirtschaft und dem alltäglichen Handeln, aber auch in Stadtplanungsprozessen oder städtischen Teilräumen. Nicht zuletzt stellen die Gefahren von verschmutzten Wasser oder Überschwemmungen die städtische Gesellschaft vor Herausforderungen. Die Beiträge diesen Band lenken den Blick auf die komplexen und vielfältigen Beziehungen zwischen Wasser und Menschen. Das Sammelwerk präsentiert die Ergebnisse einer internationalen Tagung in Kiel 2018. Es wendet sich gleichermaßen an Leser aus den altertumskundlichen wie mediävistischen Fächern und darüberhinaus an alle Interessierten, die sich über die Vielfalt von Wassersystemen im Stadtraum der Antike und des Mittelalters informieren möchten.

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 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 The Archaeology of the Mediterranean Iron Age written by Tamar Hodos and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mediterranean's Iron Age period was one of its most dynamic eras. Stimulated by the movement of individuals and groups on an unprecedented scale, the first half of the first millennium BCE witnesses the development of Mediterranean-wide practices, including related writing systems, common features of urbanism, and shared artistic styles and techniques, alongside the evolution of wide-scale trade. Together, these created an engaged, interlinked and interactive Mediterranean. We can recognise this as the Mediterranean's first truly globalising era. This volume introduces students and scholars to contemporary evidence and theories surrounding the Mediterranean from the eleventh century until the end of the seventh century BCE to enable an integrated understanding of the multicultural and socially complex nature of this incredibly vibrant period.
