Archeologia
ilość książek w kategorii: 15307
Archeologia, to nauka, której celem jest odtwarzanie społeczno-kulturowej przeszłości człowieka na podstawie znajdujących się w ziemi, na ziemi lub w wodzie źródeł archeologicznych, czyli materialnych pozostałości działań ludzkich. Ze względu na cel tej dyscypliny archeologia w tradycji środkowoeuropejskiej (w krajach niemieckojęzycznych i słowiańskich) ściśle łączy się z historią. W krajach anglosaskich, zwłaszcza w Stanach Zjednoczonych, archeologię uważa się za wiążącą się ściśle z antropologią i etnologią. We Francji, archeologię uważa się często także za związaną z naukami o Ziemi. Archeologia pierwotnie zajmowała się jedynie najdawniejszymi dziejami człowieka, obecnie wspomaga również rekonstrukcję czasów historycznych, w tym także i najnowszych. W księgarni internetowej krainaksiazek.pl znajdziesz ogromny wybór książek archeologicznych, tych, które przedstawiają ujęcie anglosaskie, oraz środkowoeuropejskie. Przeczytasz najnowsze publikacje i odkrycia naukowe z tej dziedziny po angielsku, niemiecku, hiszpańsku, czesku, francusku, a także w innych językach.

Facts on the Ground: Archaeological Practice and Territorial Self-Fashioning in Israeli Society
ISBN: 9780226001951 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Archaeology in Israel is truly a national obsession, a practice through which national identity and national rights have long been asserted. But how and why did archaeology emerge as such a pervasive force there? How can the practices of archaeology help answer those questions? In this stirring book, Nadia Abu El-Haj addresses these questions and specifies for the first time the relationship between national ideology, colonial settlement, and the production of historical knowledge. She analyzes particular instances of history, artifacts, and landscapes in the making to show how archaeology...

ISBN: 9780226112923 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From cave paintings to the latest Siberian finds, woolly mammoths have fascinated people across Europe, Asia, and North America for centuries. Remains of these enormous prehistoric animals were among the first fossils to be recognized as such, and they have played a crucial role in the birth and development of paleontology. In this lively, wide-ranging look at the fate of the mammoth, Claudine Cohen reanimates this large mammal with heavy curved tusks and shaggy brown hair through its history in science, myth, and popular culture.
Cohen uses the mammoth and the theories that naturalists... From cave paintings to the latest Siberian finds, woolly mammoths have fascinated people across Europe, Asia, and North America for centuries. Remains...

Kingship and the Gods: A Study of Ancient Near Eastern Religion as the Integration of Society and Nature
ISBN: 9780226260112 / Angielski / Miękka / 1978 / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This classic study clearly establishes a fundamental difference in viewpoint between the peoples of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. By examining the forms of kingship which evolved in the two countries, Frankfort discovered that beneath resemblances fostered by similar cultural growth and geographical location lay differences based partly upon the natural conditions under which each society developed. The river flood which annually renewed life in the Nile Valley gave Egyptians a cheerful confidence in the permanence of established things and faith in life after death. Their Mesopotamian...

Experimental Determination of Stone Tool Uses: A Microwear Analysis
ISBN: 9780226428895 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A major problem confronting archeologists is how to determine the function of ancient stone tools. In this important work, Lawrence H. Keeley reports on his own highly successful course of research into the uses of British Paleolithic flint implements. His principal method of investigation, known as "microwear analysis," was the microscopic examination of traces of use left on flint implements in the form of polishes, striations, and breakage patterns.
The most important discovery arising from Keeley's research was that, at magnifications of 100x to 400x, there was a high correlation... A major problem confronting archeologists is how to determine the function of ancient stone tools. In this important work, Lawrence H. Keeley reports ...

The Analysis of Animal Bones from Archeological Sites
ISBN: 9780226439587 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 273 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In growing numbers, archeologists are specializing in the analysis of excavated animal bones as clues to the environment and behavior of ancient peoples. This pathbreaking work provides a detailed discussion of the outstanding issues and methods of bone studies that will interest zooarcheologists as well as paleontologists who focus on reconstructing ecologies from bones. Because large samples of bones from archeological sites require tedious and time-consuming analysis, the authors also offer a set of computer programs that will greatly simplify the bone specialist's job. After setting...

The Sangamo Frontier: History and Archaeology in the Shadow of Lincoln
ISBN: 9780226514253 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When Abraham Lincoln moved to Illinois Sangamo Country in 1831, he found a pioneer community transforming from a cluster of log houses along an ancient trail to a community of new towns and state roads. But two of the towns vanished in a matter of years, and many of the activities and lifestyles that shaped them were almost entirely forgotten. In "The Sangamo Frontier," archaeologist Robert Mazrim unearths the buried history of this early American community, breathing new life into a region that still rests in Lincoln s shadow. When Abraham Lincoln moved to Illinois Sangamo Country in 1831, he found a pioneer community transforming from a cluster of log houses along an anc... |

Bonebeds: Genesis, Analysis, and Paleobiological Significance
ISBN: 9780226723716 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The vertebrate fossil record extends back more than 500 million years, and bonebeds localized concentrations of the skeletal remains of vertebrate animals help unlock the secrets of this long history. Often spectacularly preserved, bonebeds both modern and ancient can reveal more about life histories, ecological associations, and preservation patterns than any single skeleton or bone. For this reason, bonebeds are frequently studied by paleobiologists, geologists, and archeologists seeking to piece together the vertebrate record.

The Meaning of Fossils: Episodes in the History of Palaeontology
ISBN: 9780226731032 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "It is not often that a work can literally rewrite a person's view of a subject. And this is exactly what Rudwick's book should do for many paleontologists' view of the history of their own field." Stephen J. Gould, "Paleobotany and Palynology"
"Rudwick has not merely written the first book-length history of palaeontology in the English language; he has written a very intelligent one. . . . His accounts of sources are rounded and organic: he treats the structure of arguments as Cuvier handled fossil bones." Roy S. Porter, "History of Science"" "It is not often that a work can literally rewrite a person's view of a subject. And this is exactly what Rudwick's book should do for many paleontolo...
