ISBN: 9780860548003 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The importance of a regional perspective for the study of hunter-gatherers is obvious if one considers that human action - as reflected in material culture - is not the result of random behaviour, but is the result of a cultural system.

This study examines the implications of seasonal determinations for horse and reindeer, obtained from cementum analyses, for exisiting models of subsistence and settlement in the Aquitaine Basin.

Human Sacrifices for Cosmic Order and Regeneration: Structure and meaning in Moche iconography. Peru, AD 100-800
ISBN: 9781841717203 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Andean civilisations grew in an isolated fashion, with almost no influence from the rest of the world or indeed from further north in the Americas. The various Andean states and empires all came to express themselves in highly original and different art styles, not least the Moche. Here, de Bock presents a study based on his close examination of the art of the Moche - elaborate scenes painted on bottles - and clearly demonstrates the implications of this in the study of social and economic life. From the simplest scenes to the most elaborate, Moche art reflects models of social and...

Archaeology and Ideology in Nineteenth Century Ireland - Nationalism or Neutrality?
ISBN: 9781841713403 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As McEwan argues, the past is well suited to manipulation and can be used to uphold particular ideologies, for example those dictated by the state. This discussion of the development of archaeology in Ireland in the 19th century places it within an intellectual and historical context to determine the inherent and external factors at work in directing and influencing its progress. With Foucault as the starting point, McEwan assesses a range of important ideological concepts, including romanticism, nationalism, imperialism and individualism, and asks whetehr archaeology and those individuals...

This study combines ethnohistorical and archaeological evidence to investigate the social and political development of the region of Chacalapan during the Classic and Post-Classic periods (AD300-1520). The ethnohistorical evidence is taken from both Mexico and Spain and reveals the extent of imperial control in the Post-Classic period. The archaeological evidence which consists of data from excavations and artefactual analysis traces the integration of the area into a hierarchical settlement system during the Classic period.

Acts of Discovery
ISBN: 9781841715049 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this revised thesis Matt Edgeworth views archaeological theory and practice through the eyes of an ethnographer. He examines the act of fieldwork for example as a craft that can be recorded and analysed as an ethnographer would treat his subject. Looking at subjectivity and objectivity in archaeological practice and inference, and at how excavated material becomes transformed into data, he argues that archaeologists and ethnographers should be as willing to go through the process of scrutinising themselves and their actions, as they do so on others.

Belief in the Past
ISBN: 9781841715759 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This collection of twelve papers, the proceedings of a conference on archaeology and religion held in Manchester in 2002, aims to bring together these two fields which have had an unhappy relationship in the past. Ritual' is the last resort when the archaeological evidence resists interpretation, perhaps because, as Timothy Insoll argues, archaeologists view the world through secular eyes. The contributions examine a range of sites, from different periods and cultures, in order to suggest new ways of assessing the material evidence. Religion, after all, might have been the primary factor in...
