Nomads in Archaeology
ISBN: 9780521545792 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

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.

He describes the emergence of the first agricultural villages, pastoralism and nomadism, and the diffusion...

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 Archaeology of Rank
ISBN: 9780521612005 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

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...
