Settling the Earth: The Archaeology of Deep Human History
ISBN: 9781107013261 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 405 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this worldwide survey, Clive Gamble explores the evolution of the human imagination, without which we would not have become a global species. He sets out to determine the cognitive and social basis for our imaginative capacity and traces the evidence back into deep human history. He argues that it was the imaginative ability to go beyond and to create societies where people lived apart yet stayed in touch that made us such effective world settlers. To make his case Gamble brings together information from a wide range of disciplines: psychology, cognitive science, archaeology,...

Origins and Revolutions: Human Identity in Earliest Prehistory
ISBN: 9780521860024 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this innovative study Clive Gamble presents and questions two of the most famous descriptions of change in prehistory. The first is the 'human revolution', when evidence for art, music, religion and language first appears. The second is the economic and social revolution of the Neolithic period. Gamble identifies the historical agendas behind 'origins research' and presents a bold new alternative to these established frameworks, relating the study of change to the material basis of human identity. He examines, through artefact proxies, how changing identities can be understood using...

Hominid Individual in Context: Archaeological Investigations of Lower and Middle Palaeolithic Landscapes, Locales and Artefacts
ISBN: 9780415284332 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores new approaches to the remarkably detailed information that archaeologists now have for the study of our early ancestors. Rather than explaining the archaeology of stones and bones as the product of group decisions, the contributors investigate how individual action created social life. This challenge to the accepted standpoint of the Palaeolithic brings new models and theories into the period; innovations that are matched by the resolution of data preserving individual action among the stones and bones. The volume brings together examples from recent excavations such as...

Prehistoric Europe
ISBN: 9781598744637 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The study of European prehistory has been revolutionized in recent years by the rapid growth rate of archeological discovery, advances in dating methods and the application of scientific techniques to archaeological material and new archaeological aims and frameworks of interpretation.

Nomads in Archaeology
ISBN: 9780521545792 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Nomads in Archaeology addresses the problem of how to study mobile peoples using archaeological techniques. It therefore deals not only with the prehistory and archaeology of nomads but also with current issues in theory and methodology, particularly the concept of 'site structure'. This is the first volume to be devoted exclusively to nomad archaeology. It includes sections on the history and origins of pastoral nomad societies, the economics of pastoralism, social organisation of pastoral communities and the 'visibility threshold' of nomad material culture. Examples and case studies are...

Crossing the Human Threshold: Dynamic Transformation and Persistent Places During the Middle Pleistocene
ISBN: 9781138217782 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When was the human threshold crossed? What is the evidence for evolving humans and their emerging humanity? This volume explores in a global overview the archaeology of the Middle Pleistocene, 800,000 to 130,000 years ago when evidence for innovative cultural behaviour appeared. The evidence shows that the threshold was crossed slowly, by a variety of human ancestors, and was not confined to one part of the Old World. Crossing the Human Threshold examines the changing evidence during this period for the use of place, landscape and technology. It focuses on the emergence of... When was the human threshold crossed?

The Palaeolithic Societies of Europe
ISBN: 9780521658720 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Palaeolithic societies have been a neglected topic in the discussion of human origins. But in the past forty years archaeologists have recovered a wealth of information from Palaeolithic sites throughout the European continent that reveal many illuminating facets of social life over this 500,000-year period. Clive Gamble, introducing a new approach to this material, interrogates the data for information on the scale of social interaction, and the forms of social existence. The result is a reconstruction of ancient human societies, and a fresh perspective on the unique experience of human...

Art and the Early Greek State
ISBN: 9780521602853 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Widely known as an innovative figure in contemporary archaeology, Michael Shanks has written a challenging contribution to recent debates on the emergence of the Greek city states in the first millennium BC. He interprets the art and archaeological remains of Korinth to elicit connections between new urban environments, foreign trade, warfare, and the ideology of male sovereignty. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, which draws on an anthropologically informed archaeology, ancient history, art history, material culture studies and structural approaches to the classics, his book raises...

The Birth of the Gods and the Origins of Agriculture
ISBN: 9780521651356 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This innovative study analyzes the great cultural and economic changes occurring in the Near East between 10,000 and 7,000 BC as Palaeolithic societies of hunter-gatherers gave way to village communities of Neolithic food-producers. Challenging the orthodox, materialist interpretations, and drawing on French theories of mentalities, Jacques Cauvin argues that the Neolithic revolution must be understood as an intellectual transformation, revealing itself above all in symbolic activities. He describes the emergence of the first agricultural villages, pastoralism and nomadism, and the diffusion...

The Archaeology of Rank
ISBN: 9780521612005 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Social archaeology is concerned with how one might use the archaeological record of the present to elucidate how social interactions were ordered in a past society. This requires a meaningful model of society, considerable archaeological data, and a reliable connection between them. A major goal of this book is to improve our understanding of one aspect of social archaeology, the inference of status hierarchy. The first section covers what is involved in social inference, and presents ideas on how it may be done reliably. In the following section, the typological models of Elman Service and...

Ecology and Ceramic Production in an Andean Community
ISBN: 9780521543453 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Following the theoretical perspective of his earlier book, Ceramic Theory and Cultural Process (1985), Dean Arnold's ethnoarchaeological study explores the relationships of ceramic production to society and its environment in the Peruvian Andes. The book traces these contemporary linkages through the production, decoration, and use of pottery and relates them to the analysis and interpretation of ancient ceramic production. Utilizing an ecological approach within a single community, Arnold expands the scope of previous ceramic theory by focusing on the population as the unit of analysis in...

The Evolution of the Polynesian Chiefdoms
ISBN: 9780521273169 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is an archaeological perspective on the elaborate system of chiefdoms found in the islands of Polynesia. While the growth and development of complex social and political systems in this region have long interested anthropologists and ethnographers, the islands' rich sources of archaeological data have since been exploited. The author combines this fresh archaeological data with comparative ethnographic and linguistic materials to present an innovative and perceptive account of the processes of culture change in the islands over three millennia. Using comparative ethnography, lexical...
