Essa dissertação apresenta dados relacionados com o processo de ocupação de sítios associados à cerâmica Guarita na região do médio e baixo rio Solimões, estado do Amazonas. Essas ocupações são, normalmente, superficiais e estão associados aos últimos grupos ceramistas que se estabeleceram na região até o século XVI DC. A proposta desse trabalho é entender, através de sítios localizados no município de Coari e na área de confluência dos rios Solimões e Negro, o estabelecimento de uma cronologia dos estratos, análise das cerâmicas que compõem os sítios, a determinação das áreas de dispersão, densidade dos vestígios arqueológicos e sua relação com outros sítios já escavados na região. Através desse estudo pretendemos propor uma hipótese para a história da ocupação desses grupos ceramistas na região do médio e baixo rio Solimões e fornecer mais dados sobre a cerâmica vinculada à Tradição Polícroma da Amazônia. / This dissertation presents archaeological data on site settlements with Guarita ceramics, located in the middle and lower Solimões river, in Amazonas state. The evidence for these settlements is often restricted to the sites\' surfaces, indicating that these were the last indigenous groups to settle in the region, staying until the XVI century AD. Based on the data collected in sites at Coari city and around the confluence of the Solimões and Negro rivers, the purpose of this research is to understand the strata\'s chronology, to undertake the ceramic analysis of materials from these strata, and to determine areas of dispersion and density of archaeological remains. It also examines the relationship between these and other excavated sites in the region. This research intends to propose a hypothesis for the history of how these late pottery making-groups have occupied the middle and lower Solimões river area, thus providing more data about the ceramics of the Amazonian Polychrome Tradition.

Esta dissertação foca na questão da variabilidade artefatual das cerâmicas Guarita da Amazonia central, complexo cerâmico pertencente à Tradição Polícroma da Amazônia, que se inicia por volta do ano 1000 e perdura até a conquista europeia, espalhando-se por toda a Amazônia central e a alta Amazônia. A partir de um recorte analítico sobre um determinado tipo de vasilha muito recorrente na cerâmica Guarita, o vaso com flange mesial, a pesquisa desenvolveu uma abordagem de análise que integra elementos tecnológicos e iconográficos, definindo os elementos distintivos e variações regionais do estilo polícromo. A partir desta variabilidade formal, das linguagens e temas iconográficos elencados, discutem-se os possíveis processos de transmissão e reprodução deste estilo. Partindo da interlocução entre conceitos da Arqueologia, da Antropologia da Arte e da Etnologia, pudemos entender estes componentes cerâmicos enquanto expressões materiais de um estilo introduzido e compartilhado entre distintas regiões na Amazônia, atuando na veiculação de mensagens imbricadas aos sistemas ontológicos ameríndios, centralizados na transformação corpórea. Desta forma, os artefatos foram analisados enquanto agentes em dinâmicas rituais de reatualização cosmológica, dentro de um amplo sistema cosmopolítico. A partir destas discussões pudemos ampliar o debate sobre a expansão do estilo polícromo entre as sociedades pré-coloniais da Amazônia, pensando quais eram as relações existentes entre estas linguagens estéticas pretéritas e as sociedades que produziram as cerâmicas Guarita. / This thesis focus is the variability of Guarita ceramics, a complex belonging to the Amazonian Polychrome Tradition, which begins around the year 1000 and lasted until the European conquest, spread throughout the central and upper Amazon. We chose to work with a very recurrent type of vessel in the Guarita ceramic complex, the vase with mesial flange, in order to apply a method which integrates technological and iconographic variables and define distinct elements and regional variations of the polychrome style. Based on the morphological variability and different iconographic languages, we were able to discuss the possible processes of transmission and reproduction of this style which could explain its regional spread and apparent homogeneity. This work benefits from a dialogue of concepts form Archaeology, Anthropology of Art and Ethnology, enabling us to understand these ceramic components as material expressions of an introduced and shared style among different regions in the Amazon, displaying messages related to specific Amerindian ontological systems, centered on the transformation body. Thus, the artifacts were analyzed as agents taking part in dynamic rituals for reenacting cosmological beliefs, within a broad cosmopolitical system. From these discussions we were able to broaden the debate on the expansion of the polychrome style of the pre-colonial societies of the Amazon, and enhance our understanding of the relation between these ancient aesthetic languages and societies that produced the ceramics.

This thesis focuses on the topic of stencil painting in Central Europe. Based on the review of literature the current state of research is described and the technology is placed in the broader context of the decorative techniques used in the Middle Ages. Attention is paid to the history, process of making of the templates, method of their printing, the typology of used designs, the question of performing artists or craftsmen and wide possibilities of its application for the panel or mural paintings. The main focus of the thesis is the use of stencil painting and its specifics in the case of use for the polychrome of flat wooden ceilings and mobiliary in the churches interiors. The motifs used for their decoration are examined with regard to iconography, considered is also the possibility of the existence of overall iconographic program. The second part of the thesis consists of a catalogue with locations, where the stencil paintings have been used for decoration of flat ceilings or mobiliary in Czech, Slovak and Polish Republic. Keywords medieval art, stencil painting, ornament, Central Europe, wooden flat ceilings, mobiliary, polychrome, iconography

Nesta tese, buscou-se realizar interpretações contextualizadas visando à compreensão da história de longa duração das antigas populações ceramistas do alto rio Madeira, sob a perspectiva da Ecologia Histórica. Tais interpretações foram realizadas a partir de uma análise comparativa de cinco sítios arqueológicos da região sudoeste da Amazônia. O método comparativo continuou sendo utilizado de maneira a possibilitar uma discussão sobre diferentes Estilos e Tradições amazônicas. O objetivo final foi contribuir para o conhecimento historiográfico relativo a populações falantes de línguas do tronco Tupi, em especial os Tupi-Guarani, bem como apresentar dados cronológicos e estilísticos que permitissem repensar a chamada Tradição Polícroma da Amazônia. / Based on contextualized interpretations, this thesis sought to make a contribution to the comprehension of the history (longue durée) of pottery-producing indigenous populations of the upper Madeira region, from the perspective of Historical Ecology. The comparison of five archaeological sites from this region (southwestern Amazonia) formed the basis for these interpretations. The comparative method was further used so as to make possible an extensive discussion about different archaeological Styles and Traditions in Amazonia. The final aim was to contribute to the historiographical knowledge of ancient speakers of languages of the Tupi stock, specially the Tupi-Guarani family, and to present stylistic and chronological data which would enable the rethinking of the so-called Polychrome Tradition of Amazonia.

Le corpus de sculptures romanes en bois de la région de Bourgogne est réuni pour la première fois dans un catalogue, complété par une documentation photographique et bibliographique. Les vingt-cinq sculptures répertoriées sont étudiées du point de vue stylistique, iconographique, technique. Au XIIe siècle, une véritable école de sculpture en bois monastique semble se déployer dans les limites du duché de Bourgogne, à l’origine d’une grande variété d’apports formels et techniques. Les sculptures les plus représentatives pour la compréhension des nombreux apports sont étudiées dans le détail. Leurs relations stylistiques avec les manuscrits de la renaissance carolingienne, la sculpture ottonienne et la sculpture monumentale contemporaine en pierre sont indiquées par l’analyse des caractéristiques internes qui distinguent les différents langages formels. La description iconographique montre la dénotation précise avec laquelle le sujet sacré est figuré. Les procédés techniques de création sont comparés par l’examen direct des sculptures, et par la récolte des données disponibles. Pour plusieurs œuvres, de nouvelles datations sont proposées ; des sculptures inédites et des artistes précis sont mis en lumière. Les apports de la sculpture sur bois de la région auvergnate sont précisés. La tradition des reliques insérées dans les sculptures est vérifiée par rapport au rôle plus ou moins significatif qu’elle peut avoir dans l’élaboration de la forme. Un chapitre est consacré à la méthodologie de l’étude de la polychromie des sculptures en bois. Les conservateurs-restaurateurs sont investis d’un rôle crucial dans la collecte scientifique des données qui témoignent de l’histoire des techniques artistiques. Des propositions pour améliorer les procédures d’examen et de documentation sont avancées. / For the first time, the corpus of Roman wood sculptures from Burgundy is gathered together in a catalogue, with added photographic documents and bibliography. The twenty-five sculptures are listed and studied from a stylistic, iconographic and technical point of view. In the XIIth century, an actual school of monastic wood sculpture seemed to develop within the boundaries of the duchy of Burgundy, bringing a great diversity as far as formal and technical contributions are concerned. The sculptures that are the most representative to help the understanding of those numerous contributions are thoroughly studied. Their stylistic relationships with manuscripts dating back from the Carolingian Renaissance, with the Ottonian sculpture and the contemporary monumental stone sculpture, are pointed out with the analysis of internal characteristics, setting apart different formal languages. The iconographic description shows the specific denotation used in the representation of the holy character. The technical processes of creation are compared through the direct examination of the sculptures and through the collection of usable information. For several pieces, a new dating was suggested; new sculptures and specific artists are brought to notice.The contributions of the wood sculpture from the Auvergne region are specified. The tradition of inserting relics into sculptures is put in relation to the relatively important influence it can have on the building of the shape. One chapter is dedicated to the methodology in the study of wood sculptures’ polychromes. The conservators-restorers play a crucial part in the act of scientifically collecting information attesting the evolution of artistic techniques. Some suggestions are put forward to improve the processes of examination and the collecting of information.

The text deals with various types of ironwork from ca 1550-1740, which we can encounter in sepulchral spaces in Bohemia. The text includes notable examples of individual types of ironwork related to sepulchral monuments in Bohemia and even Central Europe, especially when the works were inspired by Bohemian examples. The main research subject matter of the dissertation is a typological group of ironwork that defined the space around a tombstone or mausoleum freely situated in a sacred environment, e.g. the most important cited work - the ironwork surrounding the Royal Mausoleum in Prague, or the ironwork surrounding the Cenotaph of Maxmilian I located in the Court Church of Innsbruck. Other types of ironwork related to sepulchral monuments are mentioned complementarily, such as ironwork closing off interior chapels, freely standing ironwork, and ironwork protecting sepulchral niches.

As the focus of over 70 years* of archaeological research, Oaxaca, Mexico, is one of Mesoamerica*s best understood regions. Yet, despite the volume of work in Oaxaca, information about one of its key resource areas, the central Pacific coast, remains limited. Specifically, the ambiguous role of Oaxaca*s Central Coast in interregional relationships during pre-Hispanic times to the sites of Monte Alban and Tututepec has been a chronic problem and major source of debate for decades. The purpose of this thesis is to begin clarifying the role of Oaxaca*s Central Coast in interregional networks and its pre-Hispanic history. Analysis utilized surface observations, surface collections, and information from limited excavations performed by the Proyecto Arqueologico Laguna de Manialtepec (PALM) in the Manialtepec Basin, located on the Central Coast of Oaxaca. The data was then mapped using ArcGIS software to render settlement and artifact patterns. Based on the results of this project I suggest a history of settlement for this area. I also argue that the Basin contained three centers, maintained interregional interactions, and was invaded by the Mixtecs of highland Oaxaca during the Late Postclassic Period (A.D. 1200-1500).
