The Ancient Mind
ISBN: 9780521456203 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) One of the most troubling problems in archaeology is to determine the manner and content of prehistoric thought. A fundamental challenge is to develop the theory, methodology and tools to understand human cognition. Cognitive archaeology as a subject is still in its infancy, and archaeologists are adopting a variety of approaches--literary, linguistic, and scientific. The contributors to The Ancient Mind develop a new direction in prehistoric cognitive research that is rooted in the scientific tradition and in an empirical methodology. Together, they begin to develop a science of cognitive...

The Sapient Mind: Archaeology Meets Neuroscience
ISBN: 9780199561995 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The turn of the twenty-first century has seen a new era in the cognitive and brain sciences that allows us to address the age-old question of what it means to be human from a whole new range of different perspectives. Our knowledge of the workings of the human brain increases day by day and so does our understanding of the extended, distributed, embodied and culturally mediated character of the human mind. The problem is that these major ways of thinking about human cognition and the threads of evidence that they carry with them often seem to diverge, rather than confront one another. The...

Loot, Legitimacy and Ownership: The Ethical Crisis in Archaeology
ISBN: 9780715630341 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Colin Renfrew argues that what is most precious in archaeology is the information that excavations can shed on our human past. Yet the clandestine and unpublished digging of archaeological sites for gain - looting - is destroying the context in which archaeological findings can be understood, as well as sabotaging the most valuable information. It is the source of most of the antiquities that appear on the art market today - unprovenanced antiquities, the product of illicit traffic financed, knowingly or not by the collectors and museums that buy them on a no-questions-asked basis. This... Colin Renfrew argues that what is most precious in archaeology is the information that excavations can shed on our human past. Yet the clandestine ... |

Keros, Dhaskalio Kavos: The Investigations of 1987-88
ISBN: 9781902937434 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 475 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The site of Dhaskalio Kavos, on the remote Cycladic island of Keros, was extensively looted in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Investigations starting in1963 then revealed large quantities of fractured marble bowls, broken marble figures and smashed pottery of the Early Cycladic period from around 2500 BC. This report of the subsequent survey and rescue excavations of 1987-88 reveals the extraordinary richness of the site, now confirmed as one of the most prolific in lite goods of the entire Aegean early bronze age. Was it an unprecedentedly rich Early Cycladic cemetery, recently wrecked by...

The Nostratic case was put by Aharon Dolgopolsky in his The Nostratic Macrofamily and Linguistic Palaeontology, and it is here evaluated critically by linguists specializing in the language families concerned.

Phylogenetic Methods and the Prehistory of Languages
ISBN: 9781902937335 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Evolutionary ('phylogenetic') trees were first used to infer lost histories nearly two centuries ago by manuscript scholars reconstructing original texts. Today, computer methods are enabling phylogenetic trees to transform genetics, historical linguistics and even the archaeological study of artefact shapes and styles. But which phylogenetic methods are best suited to retracing the evolution of languages? And which types of language data are most informative about deep prehistory? In this book, leading specialists engage with these key questions. Essential reading for linguists, geneticists,...

How Things Shape the Mind: A Theory of Material Engagement
ISBN: 9780262528924 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) An increasingly influential school of thought in cognitive science views the mind as embodied, extended, and distributed rather than brain-bound or "all in the head." This shift in perspective raises important questions about the relationship between cognition and material culture, posing major challenges for philosophy, cognitive science, archaeology, and anthropology. In How Things Shape the Mind, Lambros Malafouris proposes a cross-disciplinary analytical framework for investigating the ways in which things have become cognitive extensions of the human body. Using a variety of... An increasingly influential school of thought in cognitive science views the mind as embodied, extended, and distributed rather than brain-bound or... |
