Network Analysis in Archaeology: New Approaches to Regional Interaction
ISBN: 9780199697090 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. While the study of networks has grown exponentially in the past decade and is now having an impact on how archaeologists study ancient societies, its emergence in the field has been dislocated. This volume provides a coherent framework on network analysis in current archaeological practice by pulling together its main themes and approaches to show how it is changing the way archaeologists face the key questions of regional interaction.
Working with the term 'network' as a collection of nodes and links, as used in network science and social network analysis, it juxtaposes a range of case...

Material Agency: Towards a Non-Anthropocentric Approach
ISBN: 9780387747101 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Thus far an agent in the social sciences has always meant someone whose actions bring about change. In this volume, the editors challenge this position and examine the possibility that agency is not a solely human property. Instead, this collection of archaeologists, anthropologists, sociologists and other social scientists explores the symbiotic relationships between humans and material entities (a key opening a door, a speed bump raising a car) as they engage with one another."

An Archaeology of Interaction: Network Perspectives on Material Culture and Society
ISBN: 9780199215454 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Think of a souvenir from a foreign trip, or an heirloom passed down the generations - distinctive individual artefacts allow us to think and act beyond the proximate, across both space and time. While this makes anecdotal sense, what does scholarship have to say about the role of artefacts in human thought? Surprisingly, material culture research tends also to focus on individual artefacts. But objects rarely stand independently from one another they are interconnected in complex constellations. This innovative volume asserts that it is such 'networks of objects' that instill objects with...

Thinking Through Material Culture: An Interdisciplinary Perspective
ISBN: 9780812237887 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "The book is extremely well researched, drawing on the cognitive sciences, psychology, sociology, art history, philosophy, the neurosciences, semiotics, semiology, and, of course, archaeology and anthropology. . . . A path-breaking book."--Current Anthropology Material culture surrounds us and yet is habitually overlooked. So integral is it to our everyday lives that we take it for granted. This attitude has also afflicted the academic analysis of material culture, although this is now beginning to change, with material culture recently emerging as a topic in its own right within the...

Palaikastro Block M The Proto- and Neopalatial Town
ISBN: 9780904887655 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Block M is a substantial architectural complex comprising three
large buildings at the heart of the Minoan town of Palaikastro. With traces of activity stretching back to the Prepalatial period, and occupation in the Protopalatial period, Block M sees its most intensive use in the Neopalatial period, in the 17th century BC. This period sees widespread construction, followed by two severe destruction horizons: the first seismic, the second associated with the Theran eruption, by which time the Block may already have been in ruins. Its subsequent history... Block M is a substantial architectural complex comprising three

Knossos: Protopalatial Deposits in Early Magazine A and the South-West Houses
ISBN: 9780904887532 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The crucial earliest phases of palatial Knossos are not well known, in part due to over-building by neopalatial structures and floors. This volume represents the first complete publication of substantial deposits dating to this period, specifically the Middle Minoan IB and IIA phases. This is a first not only for Knossos but for Crete as a whole, and will act as a crucial point of reference for future work on these key phases in the islands prehistory. The five Protopalatial deposits in question, excavated in 1973, 1987 and 199293, are fully published with their contexts, the stratified...

Aegean Bronze Age Art: Meaning in the Making
ISBN: 9781108429436 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How do we interpret ancient art created before written texts? Scholars usually put ancient art into conversation with ancient texts in order to interpret its meaning. But for earlier periods without texts, such as in the Bronze Age Aegean, this method is redundant. Using cutting-edge theory from art history, archaeology, and anthropology, Carl Knappett offers a new approach to this problem by identifying distinct actions - such as modelling, combining, and imprinting - whereby meaning is scaffolded through the materials themselves. By showing how these actions work in the context of specific...

Intermezzo : Intermediacy and Regeneration in Middle Minoan II Crete
ISBN: 9780904887679 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Middle Minoan III period on Crete was initially identified and studied in detail at Knossos by Sir Arthur Evans. Subsequent scholarly attention focused on the preceding Old Palace period and the apparent floruit of the New Palaces at the beginning of the Late Bronze Age. In consequence one of the critical transitions in Minoan culture has been virtually overlooked, giving rise to confused and ill-informed judgements concerning developments in Crete and further afield.
With numerous innovations in art, architecture and material culture -- notably an entirely new palace at Galatas -- the... The Middle Minoan III period on Crete was initially identified and studied in detail at Knossos by Sir Arthur Evans. Subsequent scholarly attention fo...
