Visibility and Invisibility: Some Thoughts on Neolithic and Bronze Age Sites, Monuments and Rituals.Gibson, Alex M. 2009 November 1916 (has links)
No / This volume represents the publication of a highly successful conference held in 2003 to celebrate the contribution to Neolithic and Early Bronze Age studies of one of archaeology's finest synthesisers, Professor Stuart Piggott. The title is a reference to his famous work, Ancient Europe from the beginnings of agriculture to Classical Antiquity, itself a publication of his Society of Antiquaries of Scotland's Rhind Lectures of 1962.
The scope of the volume spans the three crucial millennia, from the beginning of the fourth to the mid second, that saw major impacts on the area we now call Scotland. There was transformation of the landscape through the introduction and development of farming, the creation of many striking monuments and the spread of important ideas and technologies, of which metalworking, particularly in Aberdeenshire, was one of the most significant. The contributions cover major advances in research in the period which demonstrate the interplay of the key factors of climate, culture, and resources, where the theme of exchange of information, objects and materials played a vital role.
Individual chapters range from chambered tombs to climate change, from dietary choices to faience beads, from timber enclosures to bronze hoards. Together these present a valuable and up-to-the-minute overview of Scotland in ancient Europe and a fine tribute to a past-master of the subject.

A revision of the materiality of architecture : the significance of Neolithic long mound and chambered monument building practice, with particular reference to the Cotswold-Severn GroupMcFadyen, Lesley January 2003 (has links)
My research is on the significance of building practice at sites that are known as chambered monuments or long cairns and long mounds. In particular, this work focuses on the long cairn sites of Gwernvale, Powys and Hazleton North, Gloucestershire; and the long mound sites of Easton Down, Beckhampton Road, Horslip, and South Street in the Avebury region of Wiltshire, and Gussage Cow Down 78 and 294 in Dorset. These sites are considered to be among the first 'architectures' in Britain. These architectures have been considered by archaeologists to characterise part of what we know about the neolithic in southern Britain. There are features and material culture associated with the mesolithic at these sites but this evidence has previously been understood as having made a 'place' for architecture, or as having created a 'setting' for later architectural constructions. I am writing to challenge our architectural understandings of these sites. In the following chapters trees, the processing of wood, hearth settings, the working of flint, grassland, worked earth, the processing of animal bone are recognised as having been a part of the connective dynamics of architectural construction. I will argue that material culture that was a part of these activities was left in these areas. These small things were parted, re-assembled and entwined together into assemblages that blur archaeologists distinctions between fifth and fourth millennia B.C. lives and that blur distinctions between hunter-gatherer and pastoralist (and partly agriculturalist) practices. Practices of making did not remain the same; neither did practices of connecting, parting, re-assembling and entwining materials. Material culture, as a media for making and understanding connections between people and things, did not remain constant. However, through encounters with the material and historical conditions of others lives, people made something of living and dying during the fifth and fourth millennia.

Functional Analysis of Polished-edge Discoidal Knives of the British IslesMetzger, Melissa A. January 2018 (has links)
Polished-edge discoidal knives are part of the lithic material culture from the
British Isles with an approximate Late Neolithic date. These artefacts are
manufactured in three basic shapes: circular to D-shaped, triangular, and broad
leaf to lozenge (Clark 1929).
The aim of this project was to explore the function of polished-edge discoidal
knives. To achieve this aim, the following objectives were completed: Objective
1: Develop a broad understanding of the literature surrounding polished-edge
discoidal knives; Objective 2: Develop a database containing all the available
information regarding the known knives for study in this project and as a tool to
help further research and select archaeological samples for study based on type,
condition, find location, and current location; Objective 3: Understand how these
tools were used; and Objective 4: Review all data and produce a narrative about
polished-edge discoidal knives’ function in Late British Neolithic Society.
This project has revealed that these knives were possibility used for activities
involving birch bark, clay, or other wood types. This research has also produced
a database of knives, a modern distribution map, a revised typology, an
archaeological date and possible contexts, and an object itinerary.

The Cucuteni-Trypillia cultural complex and its neighbours: essays in memory of Volodymyr KrutsDiachenko, A., Menotti, Francesco, Ryzhov, S., Bunyatyan, K., Kadrow, S. January 2015 (has links)
No / This book is dedicated to the memory of Dr Volodymyr Kruts, whose studies on the Cucuteni-Trypillia cultural complex made a major contribution to world archaeology.
The volume includes chapters in English, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian, which chronologically span from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age in Central and South-eastern Europe, focusing in particular on the Eneolithic/Chalcolithic period. The various papers discuss the general development of the Cucuteni-Trypillia cultural complex, including the giant-settlements (mega-sites), their different aspects of population identity, subsistence in relation to environment, and their archaeological data interpretation. There are also in-depth accounts on the relationship between the Cucuteni-Trypillians (and their settlements) and the neighbouring contemporaneous populations of Central and Southeastern Europe, with a special emphasis placed on the settlement structure, the house construction, the ritual destruction of dwellings, and the different mortuary practices. What makes the volume even more interesting is the combination of recent research, with old data from earlier excavations

Certain aspects of the Goddess in the Ancient Near East, 10,000-330 BCEAdair, Jennette 29 February 2008 (has links)
In the historical tapestry of the development of the Goddess, from 10,000 - 330 BCE one
golden thread shines through. Despite the vicissitudes of differing status, she remained
essentially the same, namely divine. She was continuously sought in the many mysteries,
mystic ideologies and through the manifestations that she inspired. In all the countries of
the Ancient Near East, the mother goddess was the life giving creatrix and regenerator of
the world and the essence of the generating force that seeds new life. While her name
may have altered in the various areas, along with that of her consort/lover/child, the
myths and rituals which formed a major force in forming the ancient cultures would
become manifest in a consciousness and a spiritual awareness. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / M.A. (Language and Culture)
