1	Investigating Early Village Community Formation and Development at Kolomoki (9ER1) West, Shaun Eric 03 November 2016 (has links) In southeastern North America, the Woodland period (ca. 1000 B.C. to A.D. 1050) was arguably witness to the first early village societies, and Kolomoki—located in southwestern Georgia—is among the largest villages during this interval. Though archaeologists recognize these communities as seminal developments in the course of human history, little attention has been paid to how they develop and vary internally. This thesis seeks to address these issues by focusing on the development and social construction of the early village community at Kolomoki. The results of an excavation program carried out within Kolomoki’s South Village affords a clearer picture of this understudied area, and provides supplemental collections to previous work at the site. New radiocarbon dates suggest a dynamic developmental sequence of Kolomoki’s village, starting as a relatively compact village sometime around the second century A.D., and growing to a massive scale around the seventh or eighth century A.D. Comparisons of various classes of material cultural provide evidence for contrasts between occupation along Kolomoki’s northern and southern enclosures, interpreted as differing uses of space by an internally differentiated community.

2	Civic image and civic patriotism in Liverpool 1880-1914 Vickers, Matthew January 2000 (has links) The late Victorian and Edwardian period saw ritual become increasingly important in political life. Towns and cities were involved in conscious efforts to construct and project attractive images of themselves. These images were intended to encourage a sense of civic patriotism. Ceremonies, honorific titles, public events and civic architecture were essays in the invention of tradition. However, historians have applied the concept of the invention of tradition unevenly. Previous research has dwelt on the construction of images. Perceptions of official images and responses to them have been overlooked. This thesis employs a model which recognises images as processes with foundaitons in human relationships. It evaluates images in terms of intentionality, power, context and participation. The participative dimension is of particular importance, because images aimed to instil a sense of civic patriotism which would encourage citizens to make emotional and financial investments in their communities. Liverpool attained the status of a city in 1880. The civic ideology of the city was dominated by images of commerce and by notions of Imperial duty and public service which celebrated commercial virtues. Many aspects of urban life were shaped by civic image. This study does not confine itself to public events and pageantry, instead it explores such spheres as municipal art policy, Liverpool's public health record, the attempts to extend the city boundaries, civic hagiography, the foundation of the University, women and the ideal of citizenship and the influence of football on civic identity to demonstrate the importance of images in the city's social, political and institutional history. The purpose of the thesis is three-fold: to suggest that civic image opens new perspectives on Liverpudlian history, to discover why there were more conscious attempts to construct civic image and to restore participation to the study of civic image by unravelling the connections between image and patriotism. 900
3	Transformación social y política en el Callejón de Huaylas, siglos III-X D.C. Ponte R., Víctor M. 10 April 2018 (has links) Social and Political Transformation in the Callejón de Huaylas (III to X Centuries)Archaeological investigations between 1997-1999 in the Callejón de Huaylas, Peru -localized around the Pierina gold mine- have discovered prehispanic settlements corresponding to diverse chronological periods. The article focuses on the Early Intermediate Period and Middle Horizon, examining Recuay settlement pattern, and showing how it was transformed Wari control that probably intruded into the Callejón de Huaylas in the 6th century. However, local domestic patterns appear to have remained little changed, suggesting that new demands for taxes must not have been excessive. Only a few signs of foreign domination are evident. / Consecutivos proyectos de investigacion y rescate arqueológico realizados entre 1997 y 1999 en el área de explotación de la mina Pierina, Callejón de Huaylas, han permitido estudiar un conjunto de asentamientos prehispánicos de diversos periodos cronológicos. En este artículo se pone énfasis en los sitios del Período Intermedio Temprano y Horizonte Medio, se explica el patrón de asentamiento recuay y cómo fue transformado y absorbido por las fuerzas exógenas wari que irrumpen en el Callejón de Huaylas alrededor del siglo VI. El sistema de articulación local, sin embargo, persiste y solo se pueden detectar algunas señales de dominación externa.

4	New Evidences for Early Paracas Textiles and Ceramics at Cerrillos, Ica Valley, Perú / Nuevas evidencias de textiles y cerámica de la época Paracas Temprano en Cerrillos, valle de Ica, Perú Splitstoser, Jeffrey, Wallace, Dwight D., Delgado, Mercedes 10 April 2018 (has links) Cerrillos is an Early to Middle Paracas civic-ceremonial site located in the upper Ica Valley of Perú. The site is known for its finely plastered adobe architecture, beautifully decorated ceramics, and complex textiles, many of which are decorated with camelid hair. Cerrillos was located in a strategically important place where the mountains meet the coastal desert and the Ica River bends south, a likely intersection in a road system that connected Cerrillos to contemporary sites in the Paracas region and beyond. This paper focuses on several early textiles, ceramics, and other artifacts, including ceramic palettes used for gold working and wooden earspools, that suggest that Cerrillos was involved in a cultural phenomenon or interaction sphere that linked sites as far away was Chavín de Huántar through the interchange of goods, beliefs, and practices. The paper presents a complete description of the textiles excavated at Cerrillos between 1999 and 2002, focusing on two fabric fragments with images of the Staff Deity and one with an abstract Chavín-like design. The ceramics discussed in the text demonstrate the wide variety of styles found at Cerrillos, including some that resemble the Janabarriu of Chavín de Huántar and several others that are either not Paracas or an Early Paracas style that has never been previously described. / Cerrillos es un sitio cívico-ceremonial con ocupación entre las épocas Paracas Temprano y Medio, localizado en el valle alto de Ica, Perú. Es conocido por su arquitectura de adobe enlucida de manera fina, cerámica bellamente decorada y textiles complejos, muchos de ellos decorados con fibra de camélido. Estuvo localizado en un lugar de importancia estratégica, donde las montañas se encuentran con el desierto costero y el río Ica gira hacia el sur, una probable intersección en un sistema de caminos que lo conectaba con sitios contemporáneos en la región de Paracas y más allá. Este artículo se enfoca en diversos textiles, cerámica y otros artefactos tempranos, entre ellos paletas de cerámica usadas para trabajar el oro y aretes en forma de argollas de madera, lo que sugiere que este complejo estaba involucrado en un fenómeno cultural o esfera de interacción que vinculaba sitios tan lejanos como Chavín de Huántar mediante el intercambio de bienes, creencias y prácticas. Este artículo presenta una completa descripción de los textiles excavados en Cerrillos entre 1999 y 2002, y se enfoca en dos fragmentos textiles, uno con imágenes del Dios de las Varas y el otro con un diseño abstracto parecido al chavín. La cerámica tratada en el texto demuestra la amplia variedad de estilos encontrados, entre ellos algunos que se parecen al Janabarriu de Chavín de Huántar y varios otros que no corresponden al estilo Paracas o que semejan un estilo Paracas Temprano que nunca antes ha sido descrito.
