Os nós da arqueologia: leituras da paisagem e memória na igreja de Nossa Senhora da Saúde, Rio de Janeiro - RJ / The ties of archaelogy: readings of landscape and memory in the church of Our Lady of Health, Rio de Janeiro - RJ

Macedo, Jackeline de 18 April 2011 (has links)
A capela foi construída em 1742, pelo comerciante de escravos Manoel da Costa Negreiros em devoção a Nossa Senhora da Saúde, no alto de um morro junto à faixa litorânea com destaque na paisagem da região atuando como ponto de referência para viajantes e navegadores da baía da Guanabara. O nome Saúde passou a nominar o morro e depois o bairro, e a capela a agir como um vetor na expansão urbana da cidade do Rio de Janeiro juntamente com o novo porto. A partir do século XVIII, a paisagem da região sofreu um processo radical de transformação: de área alagada, de rocio da cidade o qual apresentava um litoral recortado por várias baías e ilhas, transformou-se em área seca, composta por sucessivos aterros e faixa litorânea retilínea, uma área totalmente introduzida no núcleo urbano. Passando por várias transformações e proprietários estes vestígios nos chegaram ao século XXI quando encontramos com uma igreja abandonada, descaracterizada, inserida em uma área degradada, \"sufocada\" pela malha urbana atual, necessitando de restauro e de revitalização. O projeto de restauração da igreja contou com uma equipe multidisciplinar composta por historiadores, restauradores, arquitetos e arqueólogos. Através da análise dos resultados destas pesquisas foi possível a construção de diferentes \"passados\" os quais que se interpenetram e permanecem nesta que foi declarada patrimônio nacional a partir do seu tombamento (Processo nº 0036-T-38 de 02 de agosto de 1938). A partir da análise de uma massa de evidências e informações sobre a igreja, os arredores e sobre a cidade do Rio de Janeiro e seus habitantes, levantamos alguns indícios da presença e perpetuação de uma tradição judaica e da participação de múltiplos agentes, dentre eles, o judeu na formação de nossa sociedade. Utilizamos os conceitos teórico-metodológicos da \"arqueologia simétrica\", a partir dos quais a materialidade compreende uma \"rede\" encadeada por múltiplos agentes, o que possibilita mapear suas conexões no tempo e no espaço, ao invés de encerrá-la apenas em cronologias vazias e homogêneas. Estas conexões permitiram visualizar as redes de relações necessárias na formação e transformação do sítio, identificando os múltiplos agentes envolvidos na construção e manutenção do mesmo, percebendo ampliação destas redes de relações e comércio a partir das \"coisas\" recuperadas pela pesquisa. O vestígio produzido pelo ator ao ser abordado pelo arqueólogo passa a representar o ,,nó\" ideal para compreender as conexões que formam a rede e, a partir de uma análise simétrica ser capaz de (re) caracterizar nossa relação com a materialidade que sobreviveu ao passado e a materialidade contemporânea. Ao se associarem a uma rede de ações duradouras, todas as \"coisas\" se transformam em atores e estas \"coisas\" representam o \"nó\" ideal para \"receber\" e \"distribuir\" as conexões que formam a rede (OLSEN, 2003, p.98). O nosso \"nó\" ideal é a materialidade recuperada pela pesquisa arqueológica dentro da qual destacamos a própria edificação e os azulejos que revestem suas paredes trazendo-nos indícios de uma memória \"escondida\". / The chapel was built in 1742 by the slaves dealer Manoel da Costa Negreiros in devotion to Our Lady of Health, situated on a high hill together to the sea with prominence to the landscape of the region acting as a reference point for travellers and navegadores of bay of Guanabara.The Health\"s name became to nominate the hill, than the neighbourhood, and the chapel to act as a vector in urban expansion of the city of Rio de Janeiro together with the new port. From the XVIII century, the landscape of the region has suffered a radical process of transformation: from a soaked area, area peripheral of city, that represented a littoral zone with many bays and islands, becoming a dry area with successive earthwork and, a rectilinear sea zone, completely introduced in the urban zone. After many modifications and different owners the vestiges that got on the XXI century resulted in an abandoned church that urgently needs repair and reinvigoration.The church\"s reinvigoration project counted with a multi-disciplinary crew composed by historians, restorers, architectures and archaeologists. Through the researches analysis results was possible to build different \"pasts\" that represents the national patrimony since its recording as a historical site (Process nº 0036-T-38 August, 02 of 1938). Since all the churche\"s evidences and informations, surroundings of the city of Rio de Janeiro and their habitants, it shows indiction of a jewish tradition and the participation of multiples agents, between them, the jewish in the beginning of our society. We use the theorical-methodology concept\"s of a \"symmetric archaeology\", that includes a chain \"net\" with multiples agents, that maps the connection on time and space, instead of ending in an empty and homogenous chronologies. These connections permit to identify the relation nets necessary to build and transform the archaeological site, identifying the multiples agents involved to build and to maintain it, these nets contribute to the extension and business since the recovered \"stuff\" by the researches. The produced vestige by the actor and issued by the archaeologist represents the great \"tie\" to understand the connections that make the net and, a symmetrical analysis capable to make our relation with the materiality that left from the past and the contemporaneous materiality. Gathering in a supportable action, all the \"stuff\" become in actors and this \"stuff\" represent the ideal \"tie\" to \"receive\" and \"distribute\" the connections that make the net (OLSEN, 2003, p.98). The great \"tie\" and the recovered materiality by the archaeological research within point the own edification and the tiles that fill their walls bring the vestiges of a \"secret\" memory.

Humanizing HABS: Rethinking the Historic American Buildings Survey's Role in Interpreting Antebellum Slave Houses

Hill, Jobie 03 October 2013 (has links)
The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and the Federal Writers' Project were two government survey programs from the 1930s that, in part, documented slavery in America. Historically stakeholders utilized these resources in isolation of one another. Coordination between the two programs in this study has identified five documented slave houses from the HABS collection that are directly linked to a slave narrative recorded by the Writers' Project. The slave narrative brings to life the spatial density, degree of accommodations, nature of the facilities, and attitudes of those who inhabited the slave house. The relationship between the historical record and the stories of the inhabitants is crucial to our understanding and interpretation of the lifeways and settings of enslaved African Americans in the Antebellum South. Historic preservationists now have five personal accounts of the historic plantation landscape upon which to build future interdisciplinary appreciation and research.

Chácara Xavier : um estudo de caso em arqueologia histórica / Chácara Xavier : a study of case in historical archaeology

Queiroz, Claudia Moreira 12 December 2006 (has links)
Durante o século XIX as chácaras tornaram-se uma opção de morar entre as classes dominantes. Resultante de um período próspero devido à riqueza ocasionada pela cultura do café, esse novo estilo de moradia passa a representar em determinados locais sinônimo de luxo e status. Em Jacareí, não foi diferente. É a partir dessa premissa que tomou-se objeto de estudo a Chácara Xavier, uma das poucas propriedades desse padrão que ainda conserva várias de suas características enquanto exemplar daquele período. Tendo testemunhado vários acontecimentos, esse local tinha ainda muito a mostrar. Dessa forma, a cultura material recuperada através dos métodos e técnicas utilizados pela arqueologia, aliada a uma série de opções oferecidas pela Arqueologia Histórica como estudos documentais, levantamentos arquitetônicos, história oral, entre outras, acabou revelando parte desta história, bem como algumas transformações ocorridas não só no espaço, mas principalmente no modo de vida de uma sociedade que começava a se esboçar / During XIX century, the rural residences became a living option among dominant classes. Result of a prosper age caused by the coffee culture\'s richness, this new life style was going to represent, in some places, splendour and status. In Jacareí, it was not different. Starting from this premise, Chácara Xavier was taken as object of study: being one of the few properties with such standart wich conserves several self-characteristics while a sample of that age. Confirming several events, this local still had a lot to show. In that way, the material culture that was recovered by methods and technics used by archaeology, plus series of options offered by Historical Archaeology, like documental studies, architetonical risings, oral history, among other things, was about to reveal part of this history, including some transformations that occours not only in this place, but mainly in the way of living of a society that begans to plot out

Signs of life [electronic resource] : rediscovering nineteenth century Indian Key through glass analysis / by Alexis Broadbent Sykes.

Sykes, Alexis Broadbent. January 2003 (has links)
Title from PDF of title page. / Document formatted into pages; contains 72 pages. / Thesis (M.A.)--University of South Florida, 2003. / Includes bibliographical references. / Text (Electronic thesis) in PDF format. / ABSTRACT: Archaeological investigations of Indian Key Historic State Park in the Florida Keys have uncovered a wide range of historical artifacts from throughout the nineteenth century that reveal how the site was reused and reoccupied through time. This thesis focuses on the glass component recovered from a house cistern complex (Feature F) and a warehouse (Features A and C) during the 1998 to 2002 field seasons. Glass artifacts range from a variety of bottle glass including alcohol bottles and proprietary medicines, to cut glass such as tumblers and decanters, to window glass. Feature F's analysis has shown that it maintained a primarily domestic nature despite having been reused by different groups at different times. Glass recovered from Feature F was primarily alcohol bottles, but large numbers of food bottles, medicines, and window glass was also found. The warehouse was used commercially and appears to have been continuously reused. / ABSTRACT: The most abundant item recovered from the warehouse was window glass; however large quantities of alcohol bottle fragments were also recovered. Also included in the glass analysis is a study of window glass dating techniques using glass thickness. By using a formula originally developed by Randall Moir (1982), and following an example set by Grant L. Day (2001), I was able to illustrate a process for dating nineteenth century window glass that is fairly accurate for determining periods of transition, addition, and reconstruction to buildings occupied over long time periods. Comparison of the glass from these two features using window glass dating formulas and other comparative evaluations as well as dating and functional analysis is revealing useful information about each of these structures individually, as well as about activity on the island as a whole. / System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. / Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Under the Boards: The Study of Archaeological Site Formation Processes at the Commissariat Store Site, Brisbane

Murphy, Karen Jane Unknown Date (has links)
The study of archaeological site formation processes, although commonly undertaken in prehistoric sites, is only carried out in historical archaeological sites in a limited way. Understanding the processes which formed the archaeological record of a site is an important first step towards developing justifiable inferences about past behaviour and past societies regardless of the age of the site. This thesis identifies and examines the cultural and noncultural processes that formed the archaeological record at the Commissariat Store, in Brisbane, Australia. The history of the site, from its construction in 1829 as part of the Moreton Bay penal settlement to the present, is examined and the expected impacts and processes on the archaeological record are identified. The archaeological evidence from the salvage excavation of the site undertaken in 1978/79 is analysed to identify the cultural and noncultural site formation processes. This study identified the presence of the cultural formation processes of discard, loss, abandonment and re-use from an examination of the historical and archaeological evidence. Non-cultural formation processes at work in the site include faunalturbation, floralturbation, flooding and aquaturbation. This research also identified deficiencies in Schiffer's model for identifying and categorising cultural formation processes. The activity of construction of the site's drainage system did not clearly fit within a single type of formation process. Water as a formation agent is only discussed in the literature as a non-cultural formation process, while at this site water can be seen as a cultural formation process. This thesis demonstrates the value and importance of understanding site formation processes as a firm basis for future interpretation of the archaeology of the Commissariat Store site.

O COTIDIANO ATRAVÉS DA CULTURA MATERIAL: OS METAIS DA ESTÂNCIA VELHA DO JARAU / THE DAILY THROUGH MATERIAL CULTURE: THE METALS OF THE ESTANCIA VELHA DO JARAU

Thomasi, Diele Ilha 21 January 2010 (has links)
The object of the present study, is the metals of Estancia Velha do Jarau, which is located on the border between Brazil and Uruguay, was a typical farm producer of cattle, horses and sheep, however, was also residence of families proprietary. The historic archeology and his new theorys is usefull in this work. The Estancia Velha do Jarau, besides the points already mentioned, is also a place that fits within the strategy Luso-Brazilian establishment of local office in the frontier conflict, also located at the foot of the Cerro Jarau, the archaeolical place acquired also a legendary aspect, which will also extend to residents of the Estancia, like Brigadeiro Manuel Bento Ribeiro. The metals of the Estancia Velha do Jarau need a set of actions that aim to clean and preserve, in addition, these metals will be analyzed in order to offer a preview of the activities in the Estancia through these objects. / O objeto de estudo do presente trabalho, são os metais da Estância Velha do Jarau, que fica localizada no fronteira Brasil Uruguai, foi, em um primeiro olhar, uma típica estância produtora de gado bovino, cavalar e ovino, todavia, também foi moradia das famílias proprietárias. A arqueologia histórica e suas tendências mais atuais servem como principio teórico para o trabalho em questão. O sítio arqueológico Estância Velha do Jarau, além dos aspectos já mencionados, também é um local que se insere na estratégia luso-brasileira de estabelecimento de posse em locais de fronteira conflituosa, além disso, localizado aos pés do Cerro do Jarau, o sítio adquire também um aspecto lendário, que vai se estender também para os moradores da Estância, tais como o brigadeiro Bento Manoel Ribeiro. Os metais da Estância Velha do Jarau necessitam de um conjunto de ações que objetivam sua limpeza e preservação, além disso, esses metais serão analisados com a finalidade de se propor uma visualização das atividades desenvolvidas na Estância através desses objetos.

Sri Lanka and the Indian Ocean contacts : internal networks and external connections

Bohingamuwa, Wijerathne January 2017 (has links)
This study reconceptualises Sri Lanka's external trade and interactions from the middle of the first millennium BC to the early second millennium AD. Unlike earlier analyses, mine draws on the excavated material culture from three port-cum-urban centres - Mantai, Kantharodai and Kirinda - which were linked to major urban complexes, interior resource bases and Indian Ocean maritime networks. The scale and intensity of their external trade and connectivity, crafts and industries varied greatly over time and location. My findings illustrate Sri Lanka's earliest cultural-commercial connections with India from the middle of the first millennium BC. By the beginning of the CE, islanders were trading with the Middle East and the Mediterranean in the west and Southeast Asia and China in the east. The Middle East was a particularly strong connection from about the mid-3<sup>rd</sup> century. Materials from Southeast Asia and China arrive by the late 7<sup>th</sup>/8<sup>th</sup> centuries, with the focus of external trade shifting away from the Middle East to the Far-East around the end of the 10<sup>th</sup> century, lasting until the 12<sup>th</sup>/13<sup>th</sup> centuries and beyond. My findings demonstrate that internal developments in irrigated agriculture, iron technology, crafts, industries and procurement-distribution networks were crucial for external trade and connectivity. Contrary to the traditional view, I identify local agency as an important driving force behind both internal and external trade in ancient Sri Lanka. The island's external connectivity did not depend on a single factor but was based on specific historical realities which were constantly redefined and reformulated in response to the changing dynamics within and outside Sri Lanka.
