Dans le cadre de cette recherche, nous avons traité de la construction de l’identité sociale et culturelle à travers la notion de patrimoine culturel. Compte tenu de la richesse du patrimoine et l’importance que la population libyenne lui accorde, nous avons essayé de mettre en évidence le rôle qu’il joue dans la vie social d’un individu. Après avoir présenté le patrimoine culturel de la société libyenne, en se basant non seulement sur les édifices de l’antiquité gréco-romaine ou du monde arabe mais aussi sur les musées, le folklore et les théâtres, nous avons mené une enquête auprès du public de la ville de Tripoli afin de connaitre leurs représentations sur cette problématique. La population libyenne est fière de la richesse de son patrimoine culturelle. À travers les réponses, nous avons pu constater l’importance accordée à leur patrimoine et la crainte de voir ce passé être détruit ou pillé par la guerre. Cette recherche nous a permis de comprendre que lorsqu’un pays possède une telle tradition, son identité sociale et culturelle passe forcément par la reconnaissance de son patrimoine. / As part of this research, we worked on the construction of a social identity through cultural heritage. We have tried to highlight the importance of the role of heritage in a person’s social life. After presenting the cultural heritage in Libyan society, not only based on buildings of Greco-Roman Antiquity or the Arab world but also museums, folklore and theaters, we conducted a public survey in the city of Tripoli in order to know the people’s opinion on this issue.Through their answers, we noted the importance they give to their heritage and their fear to see their past being destroyed or plundered by war. The people of Libya are proud of this cultural heritage. This research has allowed us to understand that when a country has such a tradition, the social and cultural identity necessarily requires the recognition of its cultural and artistic heritage.

This paper will discuss whether you can detect a possible alteration in views of archaeological artefacts during the 1900’s until 2014 by local history societies and what their views are today. It will also discuss other aspects that can have contributed to potential changed views on the artefacts. The other aspects that will be investigated are heritage conservation, politics, museums/policies and disposal of archaeological artefacts. This paper will also discuss the Swedish definition of the concept “archaeological artefacts”, and if newspapers have contributed to a different view of archaeological artefacts. The conclusions of this paper are that local history societies have different views of archaeological artefacts, but not all of them have a changed view and some of them have similar views to other history societies. One more thing detected might be a drift between the public and the archaeologists which may have been affected by politics? These aspects have contributed to a different view but in different ways and not always at the same time. Newspaper have been a contributor to changed views because they spread information that is not always correct or fair and therefore misguide the general population – for example the definition of an archaeological artefact. Disposal of archaeological artefacts does not happen as often in Swedish museums as newspaper articles make it seem and the local history societies do not approve of disposal but concede that if it must happen, albeit with good documentation. A final conclusion is that things change when time passes, and so do views and opinions, but not always as much as one may think.

East Africa is central to many aspects of human evolution and diversification. At the same time, diet is a key aspect of the ecology of any population. Therefore, one is often interested in the diets of past populations. To assess human diet in the past, stable isotope ratio and dental microwear analyses are often perceived as the only semi-quantitative and objective techniques. However, there are still many unknowns on how isotopic and microwear signals change in response to dietary variation, because few controlled studies have been carried out in modern populations. To investigate this issue, this study targeted living humans from African ethnic groups (El Molo, Turkana, Luhya, and Luo, from Kenya, and Baka, from Cameroon) that practise a wide range of traditional subsistence strategies (pastoralism, fishing, and agriculture), with the objective of building a framework in which to consider past diet in an East African context. This study analysed human hair (n = 143), nail (n = 83), and breath (n = 186) for δ$^{13}$C and δ$^{15}$N from the six different communities, and dental moulds (n = 150) from five of those communities (no moulds were collected from the Baka), and related the findings to dietary information. Dental microwear analyses had a low success rate because microwear features were obscured by the biofilm produced by mouth bacteria. Nevertheless, a visual analysis of the results suggested that the El Molo have the hardest and the toughest diet among all the groups studied, possibly through the inclusion of abrasives in the diet during food processing. In turn, the isotopic analyses revealed the ways in which agriculturalists and hunter gatherers differ from pastoralists and fishers in their isotopic values, although the variation in δ$^{13}$C and δ$^{15}$N did not distinguish between pastoralists and fishers. The results emphasise recent changes in the diet of these groups, the importance of local factors in isotope values, and the variable sensitivity of isotopes to dietary practices. In conclusion, although each technique could provide complementary data that would contribute to a more inclusive view of diet, dental microwear analyses are not easily applied to modern human groups, due to the difficulty in acquiring comparative in vivo data, and in distinguishing between patterns caused by food items, or food processing techniques.

This study handles over the appreciation of the precolonial archaeological heritage, placed in institutions of preservation, guard and exposition of three towns in Vale do Taquari/RS region. The three selected towns are Arvorezinha, Lajeado e Taquari and the institutions are, respectively, the Museu Municipal de Arvorezinha; Museu Histórico Bruno Born; Casa Costa e Silva. The main purpose of the present research is to diagnose the space and the treatment dispensed to precolonial material culture in these places of remembrance and to verify if they receive a different treatment in relation to historical materials. The study was accomplished through data collection, based on field research method, with the filling out of a diagnosis form, previously elaborated. The result achieved suggests that, in the institutions researched, the archaeological materials are discredited, in opposition to the historical ones, and they aren't correctly contextualized, being observed as curious and eccentric objects, without any relation to the local community. / O presente trabalho trata da valorização do patrimônio arqueológico précolonial, lotado nas instituições de preservação, guarda e exposição de três municípios da região do Vale do Taquari/RS. Os três municípios selecionados para pesquisa são Arvorezinha, Lajeado e Taquari e as instituições respectivamente são Museu Municipal de Arvorezinha; Museu Histórico Bruno Born; Casa Costa e Silva. O objetivo principal da pesquisa é diagnosticar o espaço e tratamento dispensado a cultura material précolonial nestes lugares de memória e verificar se recebem um tratamento diferenciado em relação aos materiais históricos. O trabalho foi realizado por meio de levantamento de dados em pesquisa de campo com preenchimento de uma Ficha Diagnóstico previamente elaborada. O resultado a que se chegou é que nas instituições pesquisadas o material encontrase desprestigiado em contraponto aos materiais históricos, não estando devidamente contextualizado, sendo visto como objetos de curiosidade, excentricidade sem relação com a comunidade que os expõe.

abstract: Mobility is an important aspect of the lives of religious individuals described by medieval texts in early and late medieval Ireland, and biogeochemical methods can be used to detect mobility in archaeological populations. Stories are recorded of monks and nuns traveling and founding monasteries across Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, and other areas of Europe. However, these texts rarely address the quotidian lives of average monks and nuns who lived in monastic communities. This dissertation seeks to understand if travel was a typical part of the experiences of religious and lay people in early and late medieval Ireland. It also aims to increase understanding of how monastic communities related to the local lay communities, including addressing if the monastery was populated by those who grew up in the local area. Another methodological aim of this dissertation is to advance the field of archaeological biogeochemistry by (1) adding to the bioavailable strontium baseline in Ireland and (2) quantifying the contribution of ocean-derived strontium to coastal environments. These topics are explored through the biogeochemical analysis of 88 individuals buried at 5 early and late medieval monasteries in Ireland and the analysis of a total of 85 plant samples from four counties in Ireland. The three papers in this dissertation present: (1) a summary of the mobility of religious and lay people buried at the monasteries (Chapter 2), (2) a case study presenting evidence for fosterage of a local child at the early medieval monastery of Illaunloughan, Co. Kerry (Chapter 3), and (3) a study designed to quantify the impact of sea spray on bioavailable strontium in coastal environments (Chapter 4). The majority of lay and religious individuals studied were estimated to be local, indicating that medieval Irish Christianity was strongly rooted in the local community. The study of ocean-derived strontium in a coastal environment indicates that sea spray has a non-uniform impact on bioavailable strontium in coastal regions. These findings shed new light on medieval monastic and lay life in Ireland through the application of biogeochemical methods, contributing to the growth of the field of archaeological chemistry in Ireland. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Anthropology 2018

The focus of this study is to detect any similarities – or lack thereof – between the alloys of different types of oval brooches from the later Iron Age in Scandinavia. The study is furthermore concerned with how the alloys and the typologies can be mutually complimentary to one another in regards to dating or determining the age of specific oval brooches. For this purpose X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) was used on five different items deriving from Birka, Vendel and one of unknown context. The results indicate continuity with earlier studies regarding copper alloys with contents of zinc, and that this study’s brass brooches may have been produced in this alloy for its gold-like appearance. A higher level of lead can be found in the younger brooches, therefore indicating that tortoise brooches of a later date may contain more lead than their earlier counterparts. Furthermore, the study shows that brass may be mistaken for gold, and it raises questions about the use of metal originating from native copper sources. This study is a part of the Birka Black Earth Harbour project. / The Birka Black Earth Harbour project

Orientador: Carlos José Leopoldo Constantino / Banca: Henrique de Santana / Banca: Ruth Kunzli / O Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência e Tecnologia de Materiais POSMAT, tem caráter institucional e integra as atividades de pesquisa em materiais de diversos campi da UNESP / Resumo: Neste trabalho foram estudadas amostras do Centro de Museologia, Antropologia e Arqueologia da FCT - UNESP de Presidente Prudente, o qual é coordenado pela professora Dra. Ruth Kunzli. As amostras foram caracterizadas por espectroscopia vibracional via espalhamento micro-Raman e a absorção no infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FTIR), análise térmica por termogravimetria (TG) e energia dispersiva de raio-X (EDX). O objetivo principal do trabalho foi identificar os pigmentos utilizados na fabricação dos artefatos cerâmicos encontrados no sítio arqueológico Lagoa São Paulo - 02, Presidente Epitácio, SP, bem como os aditivos incorporados ao corpo cerâmico para entender como os arteftos foram confeccionados. Para o pigmento vermelho os resultados de Raman, FTIR, EDX e TG sugerem a utilização de hematia, um óxido de ferro consistente com o que podia ser encontrado nas rochas avermelhadas das encostas dos rios que eram desgastadas pela água. O pigmento preto apresenta bandas Raman características do carvão, provavelmente, este pigmento era encontrado na natureza como o produto da queima de material orgânico, possivelmente de origem vegetal. Para o pigmento branco, os espectros de FTIR e as curvas de TG sugerem o uso de caulim pela presença das bandas de absorção e do pico endotérmico em 550ºC aracterístico da caulinita, o que é consistente com os dados arqueológicos. Os aditivos identificados foram o carvão e o quartzo, sendo este último encontrado nas rochas presentes na região do sítio arqueológico. Tais aditivos são adicionados na confecção das cerâmicas para evitar o rachamento quando do cozimento, facilitar uma secagem homogênea e, ao mesmo tempo, reduzir a porosidade e a plasticidade. O processo de queima das amostras foi investigado via TG revelaram que todas elas passaram por processos de queima. Entretanto, os resultados sugerem que a amostra ...

Ruth Künzli, were investigated. The samples were characterized by vibrational spectroscopy via micro-Roman scattering and Fourier transform infrared absorption (FTIR), thermal analysis by termogravimetry (TG) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). The main objective was to identify the pigments used in the manufacture of ceramic artifacts found in the archaeological site "Lagoa Sao Paulo - 02", Presidente Epitácio, SP, and the additives incorporated to the ceramic body to understand how the artifacts were made. For the red pigment of the results of Raman, FTIR, EDX e TG suggested the use of hematite, an iron oxide consistent with that found in the red rocks of the river banks eroded by water. The black pigment has Roman bands characteristic of charcol, probably, this pigment was found in nature as the product of burning organic material, possibly from vegetable. For the white pigment, the FTIR spectra and TG curves suggest the use of Kaolin by the presence of the absorption bands and the endothermic peak at 550ºC, characteristic of kaolinite, which is consistent with the archaeological data. The additives were identified as charcoal and quartz, the latter being found in rocks present in the archeological site. These additives are added in the manufacture of ceramics to prevent cracking when buring, to promote a homogeneous drying and to reduce porosity and plasticity. The burning process of the samples was investigated by TG and revealed that all of them were submitted to burning processes. However, the results suggest that the sample ...
