Trata-se de uma região que foi passagem obrigatória, pois constituía um dos vértices do tráfico transatlântico de africanos escravizados. Desse processo, resultaram memórias, representações e vestígios materiais muitos ligados à escravatura. Baseado nesse contexto, a região foi considerado em 2009, Patrimônio Mundial da Humanidade pela Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, a Ciência e a Cultura (UNESCO). O objetivo dessa pesquisa é compreender a visão da população da Cidade Velha sobre ocupação colonial da região, a relação e os significados dos vestígios materiais que restaram dessa ocupação no seio quotidiano. Analisam-se, ainda, questões de natureza historiográfica relacionadas ao tema, bem como aspectos históricos e geográficos sobre o arquipélago de Cabo Verde. Nomeadamente, discute-se sobre uma possível ocupação do arquipélago anterior à dos europeus, e abordam-se as perspectivas coloniais que iniciaram a história de Cabo Verde a partir da colonização portuguesa e do tráfico de pessoas escravizados. Ainda, apresenta-se uma breve história das investigações arqueológicas realizadas no país, com base em relatórios das escavações. Da cultura material ligada à escravatura encontrada nas investigações arqueológicas, discute-se as situações desumanas em que se encontravam os escravizados no arquipélago como forma de desmistificar os ideais romantizadas que se tem sobre a escravatura no país. Por outro lado, apresenta-se materiais ligadas à materialidade negra, onde demostra-se o escravizado não somente como um produto, como também agente. O método etnográfico utilizado durante o percurso em campo possibilitou compreender na contemporaneidade, os constantes discursos sobre o patrimônio cultural material, apresentados a partir da perspectiva local. A preservação desses registros é a herança cultural histórica para as futuras gerações de cabo-verdianos e constitui um grande desafio para as autoridades competentes e para a própria população local. / Cidade Velha formerly known as Ribeira Grande de Santiago was the first region of the Cape Verde archipelago that landed the Portuguese colonizers. This is a region that was an obligatory passage, as was one of the vertices of the transatlantic trade of enslaved Africans. From this process resulted memories, representations and materials traces greatly linked to slavery. Based on this context, the region was considered in 2009, World Heritage Site by United Nation for Education Science and Culture (UNESCO). The objective of this research is to understand the vision of the population of Cidade Velha about the colonial occupation of the region, the importance and significance of the material traces that remain of this occupation in everyday life. It also analyzes historiographical nature of issues related to the theme, as well as historical and geographical aspects of the archipelago of Cape Verde. In particular, It discusses about a possible occupation of the archipelago prior to the Europeans, and cover up the colonial perspectives that started the history of Cape Verde from the Portuguese colonization and trafficking of enslaved people. It also presents a brief history of archaeological investigations in the country, based on the excavation reports. From the material culture linked to slavery found in archaeological research, it discusses the inhuman conditions in which they were enslaved in the archipelago as a way to demystify the romanticized ideals we have of slavery in the country. On the other hand, presents materials related to black materiality, which demonstrates that the slaving not only as a product but also agent. The ethnographic method used during the field research enables to understand nowadays, constant discourses on cultural heritage material, presented from the local perspective. The preservation of these records is the historical cultural heritage for future generations of Cape Verdeans, and constitutes a major challenge for the authorities and the local population itself.

Identifying and interpreting geoarchaeological sites with high prospecting potential using aerial LIDAR, GIS and sedimentological analysis

Lausanne, Alexandra 03 May 2018 (has links)
The dynamic environmental history and relative sea level (RSL) changes experienced on the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America during the early post-glacial period and the early Holocene resulted in significant visibility challenges for prospection of early coastal archaeological sites. Archaeological visibility is the degree to which cultural material survives post-depositional processes and is detectable on the landscape today. It is influenced by environmental factors such as localized differences in relative sea level change, the rainforest canopy and dynamic post-glacial activity. This study offers an integrated methodological approach for locating palaeo-coastal sites by combining: i) geomorphic interpretation of landscape attributes captured by LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) mapping, ii) GIS-based archaeological site potential mapping, and iii) local RSL history. The RSL history for the study site (Quadra Island, British Columbia, Canada) shows notable regression over the past 14 500 years from a highstand of at least 195 m resulting from post-glacial isostatic rebound. Late Pleistocene and early Holocene palaeo-shorelines are found inland from, and elevated above, modern sea level and represent key areas for archaeological prospecting. Bare-earth Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) derived from the LIDAR dataset were interpreted to identify palaeo-shorelines at 10 m and 30 m above modern mean sea level. A GIS-derived map was created to identify regions of high archaeological potential using a decision tree method with variables including distance to palaeo-shoreline, low slope and a coastal complexity parameter. Select geoarchaeological sites were examined in terms of sedimentology, stratigraphy, microfossil content and geochronology as site-specific examples of sea level regression stillstands. Field validation results suggest that this integrated methodology provides a promising approach for archaeological prospection that could be applied to other post-glacial coastal settings. / Graduate

Archaeology of Silver Springs State Park, Marion County, Florida

Westerman, Rudy J. 10 March 2016 (has links)
An archaeological survey was conducted of the Silver Springs State Park in Ocala, Florida, between August 2014 and December 2015. The project goals were to relocate and assess the previously recorded archaeological sites in the park and attempt to discover new sites. Background research, archaeological fieldwork including surface collection, shovel testing, and informant interview were conducted with this aim. Each site is described and addressed, and most were relocated; twelve new resources were added to the inventory. The Silver Springs and Silver River watershed have been occupied from the Paleo-Indian period at least 13,000 years ago through the twentieth century. Sites from each time period are discussed to detail how use of the landscape developed through time but still remained a persistently occupied place with important, albeit changing roles. Finally, management and research recommendations are provided to assist the state park staff and future archaeologists working in the area.

Les musées de sites archéologiques appréhendés en tant que vecteurs de développement local à travers trois études de cas préfigurant la mise en valeur opérationnelle du site de Chellah / Archaeological site museums regarded as tools for local development through three case studies foreshadowing an operational enhancement of the site of Chellah

Terrisse, Marc 30 September 2011 (has links)
Le site de Chellah situé à Rabat au Maroc rassemble des témoignages archéologiques et historiques allant de la période pré punique aux sultans mérinides. Le site n'est actuellement pas mis en valeur voire à l'abandon. Par le biais de ce travail de recherche, une proposition opérationnelle de mise en valeur du site de Chellah à travers la création d'un musée de site est mise en avant. Cette proposition se base sur l'évolution des notions de patrimoine, musées et tourisme dans la période contemporaine à la fois en Europe et au Maroc et sur l'analyse de trois études de cas (Montréal, Saint-Romain en Gal et Saragosse) en mesure de dégager des éléments de réussite quant à la transformation d'un musée de site en vecteur de développement local. Une approche scientifique poussée, combinée à une prise en compte des problématiques économiques, principalement touristiques font figure d'éléments déterminant dans la durabilité des musées de sites. Le musée devient ainsi un outil de développement à caractère interdisciplinaire. Ces facteurs de réussite sont repris dans la proposition de musée de site pour Chellah où l'ensemble du projet muséographique est détaillé tout en prenant en compte les spécificités socio-économiques du Maroc et de Rabat. / The archaeological site of Chellah located in Rabat, Morocco brings together historical and archaeological éléments from the Pre-Punic time untill the Merinid sultans' period. This site is currently not enhanced or even abandonned This research focuses on an operational enhancement of the site of Chellah. This proposal is based on the changing concepts of heritage, museums and tourism in the contemporary period in both Europe and Morocco and on the analysis of three case studies (Montreal, Saint-Romain en Gal and Zaragoza) allowing to identify elements of success in the transformation of a site museum into a vector of local development. A scientific work, combined with a consideration of economie issues mainly related to tourism are key elements in a sustainable approach in terms of a site museums valorization. The museum must also be considered as an interdisciplinary subject. These success factors are included in the site museum project of Chellah but this one also takes into account the specific socio-economic context of Rabat in Morocco.

Development and evaluation of an LC-ESI-MS method for the simultaneous detection of five major opium alkaloids

Carlin, Michelle January 2015 (has links)
The aim of this work was to establish an analytical method for the simultaneous detection of five major opium alkaloids in poppy seeds by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS). Once opium alkaloids were detected in poppy seeds, toxicological studies were carried out to establish if these compounds were detected in oral fluid (OF) of participants who ingested muffins containing poppy seeds. It is known that the ingestion of poppy seeds has caused positive opiate drug test results and much work has been reported in the scientific literature in the last 20 years. Researchers in the field have investigated alternatives to differentiate between heroin administration and that of other opiate drugs versus poppy seed ingestion. Most of the work which has been carried out relates to establishing illicit heroin use by examining biological matrices for the presence of acetylcodeine, thebaine, papaverine, noscapine and their associated metabolites. The research methodology consisted of establishing an LC-ESI-MS method for the simultaneous detection of five major opium alkaloids (morphine, codeine, thebaine, papaverine and noscapine). A deuterated internal standard (morphine-d3) was used for the quantitation of alkaloids in harvested poppy seeds and oral fluid samples. Due to technical difficulties, 3 LC-MS instruments were employed in this work. Electrospray ionisation was employed in all mass spectrometers but the analysers included an ion trap with octopole, a triple quadrupole and a hybrid quadrupole Orbitrap. Suitable extraction procedures were determined and harvested seeds purchased from a number of supermarkets were analysed for the presence of five alkaloid compounds using the LC-MS method. A small scale pilot study with 6 participants was carried out to establish if it was possible to fail an OF drug test for opiates after consuming poppy seed muffins. OF samples were collected post ingestion using Quantisal™ kits and the level of each of the opiates was monitored. The findings were that an LC-ESI-MS method was established for the simultaneous detection and quantitation of five major alkaloids. However, the method development process involved finding a solution to co-elution of morphine and codeine. The process also included resolving the issue of thebaine producing two peaks with identical mass spectra and separated by a difference of 6 minutes in retention time. Varying levels of alkaloids were identified in harvested poppy seeds: levels of these compounds differed considerably within and between batches of poppy seeds. These findings could be attributed to a number of factors, for example, where and how the plants were grown and methods of harvesting. Two poppy seed muffins were consumed as part of a toxicology study. Morphine was detected in the 5 minute sample in 5 out of the 6 participants with concentrations in OF of 0.5-0.8 ng mL-1; codeine was detected in 2 of the 6 participants at 1.5 and 2.6 ng mL-1. Thebaine, noscapine and papaverine were also detected in OF of a number of participants, which has not been previously reported in the literature. However, it should be noted that the values calculated are only estimated since the peak area ratios obtained were found to be less than the lowest concentration (10 ng mL-1) in the linear calibration range. In conclusion, an LC-ESI-MS method for the simultaneous detection and quantitation of five major opium alkaloids has been established and has been used to detect alkaloids in harvested poppy seeds and oral fluid samples. From a small pilot toxicology study, oral fluid results indicate that levels of morphine and codeine do not exceed the SAMSHA 40 ng mL-1 cut-off after ingestion of a realistic amount of poppy seeds contained within bakery products.

A questão da busca por uma memória nacional vivida nas décadas de 1960 a 1980 aqui no Brasil exerceu uma forte influência nas escolhas de que bens patrimoniais constituíam exemplos da identidade formadora da União. Utilizando os processos de tombamento como norteadores, analisamos as estratégias de tombamento realizadas em Pernambuco, avaliamos o discurso político, ideológico que influenciou esses processos de tombamento e, por fim, analisamos as estratégias de tombamento e preservação do patrimônio arqueológico dos parques históricos e/ou arqueológicos do país onde o fator arqueológico foi o principal motivo para a realização do processo de tombamento. Para isso, traçamos um protocolo para análise das dimensões técnica, jurídica e social. E, a partir disso elencamos cinco elementos principais que nos permitiram relacionar os discursos e as ações preservacionistas a que foram submetidos esses patrimônios. Assim, obtivemos que os parques históricos em Pernambuco foram tombados a partir de iniciativa de pesquisadores a fim de evitar que as consequências do momento que o Brasil estava passando e a busca de um progresso que vê o patrimônio cultural como um empecilho os atingisse e que se perdessem alguns dos locais representativos da história da Restauração Pernambucana. Entretanto, a preservação desse patrimônio arqueológico necessita de ações conjuntas e efetivas com a participação da população para que se perdure para as futuras gerações. / The present study aimed to analyze the factors of influence on the processes of tipping and its consequences in the preservation of heritage material and archaeological in four parks of the metropolitan area of Recife. The question of the search for a national memory lived on the decades of 1960 to 1980 here in Brazil has exercised a strong influence on the choices of which assets constituted examples of the Union’s forming identity. Using the processes of tipping as guiding, we analyzed the tipping strategies held in Pernambuco, we evaluated the political discourse, that influenced these ideological processes tipping and, finally, we analyzed the strategies of tipping and preservation the archaeological heritage of historical and/or archaeological parks of the country where the archaeological factor was the main reason for the tumbling process. For this, designed a protocol for analysis of technical, legal and social dimensions. And, from that we highlighted five key elements that allowed us to relate the speeches and actions the preservationists that have submitted these assets. Thus, we obtained that the historical parks in Pernambuco were listed from researchers’ initiative in order to avoid the consequences of the moment that the Brazil was going through and the search of a progress that see the cultural heritage as a trammels that hit and that lost some of the local representative of the history of Pernambuco's Restoration. However, the preservation of this archaeological heritage requires joint and effective actions with the participation of the population to which they will endure for the future generations.

The potential of Wonderboom Nature Reserve as an archaeotourism destination

Verkerk, Victoria January 2017 (has links)
Archaeotourism (also called archaeological tourism) is one of the oldest tourism niches people have visited archaeological sites for centuries. A question that arises is whether less well-known archaeological sites have potential as archaeotourism destinations. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to determine whether Wonderboom Nature Reserve in South Africa has potential as an archaeotourism destination. To determine the potential of the Reserve as such a destination, the attractions of seven archaeotourism sites are discussed four World Heritage Sites and three less well-known archaeological sites based on a literature study. These sites are popular because they offer tourists interesting events and edutainment. Some contribute to nationhood and identity, and have aesthetic value and/or religious meaning. Some have personal significance, and offer mystery, nostalgia or adventure. In some cases, Google Street View is available. In respect of Wonderboom Nature Reserve, a sample of 35 visitors to the Reserve were interviewed in 2015 to gauge their perceptions of the site, using semi-structured interviews. Based on the findings of the literature study and the results of the interviews, the study concludes that Wonderboom Nature Reserve does have potential to be an archaeotourism destination. This conclusion is based on the reasons for which people visit World Heritage and less well-known archaeological sites. For Wonderboom Nature Reserve, it is clear that people visit the site for the Day of the Vow event, and for the four main attractions (Fort Wonderboompoort, the Wonderboom tree, the waterfall, and caves). Some come for nostalgic reasons, others for the various activities the Reserve offers, such as hiking. It is also a sacred site for the Southern Ndebele. Some visitors claimed that they wanted to search for the fabled Kruger millions on the site. The Reserve's rich historical and archaeological resources are also an attraction. However, for Wonderboom Nature Reserve to reach its full potential, this study concludes with a few recommendations, namely better maintenance and proper promotion of the site. Route markings need to be improved. This study is important because scholars often ignore less well-known archaeological sites and their potential contribution towards tourism. / Archaeotourism / Dissertation (MHCS)--University of Pretoria, 2017. / Historical and Heritage Studies / MHCS / Unrestricted

Příspěvek k počátkům Pražského hradu (doklady a proměny osídlení západního předhradí na místě dnešního tzv. Severního výběžku) / Contribution to the settlement of the Prague Castle (documents and changes of settlement in the west forecastle in place today's so called Northern Wing)

Hurajčíková, Veronika January 2014 (has links)
This thesis deals with the beginnings of the Prague Castle. The principal attention is mainly turned to a closer recognation of course of settlement in the original west forecastle, which means today's forecastles I, II and IV. In connection with this problem the principal goal of this thesis consists in processing of the research that Jan Frolík accomplished within the forecastle I and the forecastle IV in the building of today's so called Northern Wing in 1987. There were six trenches with features and habitation layers of the Early Middle Ages explored. These discovered archaeological sections were divided into horizons in chronological sequence on the basis of stratigraphy (reciprocal superposition of features), or in the case of habitation layers on the basis of ceramics. Subsequent analysis of ceramic material enabled to date them more precisely. Also processing and evaluation of the remaining archaeological artifacts, primarily bone artifacts and animal bones, is a part of this thesis. At the end of the thesis the results of the research are counted among the context of the evolution of so called west forecastle, alternatively of the general evolution of the history of Prague Castle.

Archeologické doklady vztahů mezi Skandinávií a severozápadem Ruska v raném středověku / The archaeological evidence of relations between Scandinavia and North-West Russia in the early middle ages

Trusova, Daria January 2015 (has links)
This work is devoted to the contacts between North-Western Rus' and Scandinavia in the early Middle Ages. The work pays attention to disclosure of the nature of the Scandinavians stay in the territory of Rus'. This is done through the description and evaluation of the archaeological finds in the most important economic centers along the trade routes of the Middle Ages. Information on research in the territory of Russia and found objects is taken from the modern Russian scientific publications. In the work the modern vision of the presence of Scandinavian immigrants is disclosed. The result is the recognition of northerners as permanent inhabitants in several economic centers along with the Finno- Ugric and Slavic population.

Sídliště z polohy U silnice (Plaňany, okres Kolín) v kontextu okolního osídlení z doby římské / The Settlement from the Site U silnice (Plaňany, District Kolín) in Context of the Surrounding Settlements of Roman Period

Volf, Jan January 2020 (has links)
This thesis presents archaeological finds from the site "U silnice", in municipality Plaňany (district Kolín), where a settlement from roman period has been found during excavations in 2016 and 2017. An assemblage of excavated finds consists mostly of ceramic, animal bones and daub. The aim of the thesis is to describe qualitative and quantitative attributes of these finds. Results will be used to validate and compare properties of individual archaeological contexts. Main goal is to place the site into regional network of settlements and cemeteries from roman period. Potential of the site rises from the fact that it is the only settlement from roman period excavated by modern methods in the region and therefore it represents a valuable source of new information. Keywords (a. j.): Roman period; Settlement; Archaeological Sites; Pottery; Typology
