Signifying Place and Space: World perspectives of rock art and landscape
ISBN: 9781841710983 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It seems that, over recent years, the term landscape has received much discussion, albeit based on the mechanics of landscape. What has been omitted is the construction of landscape in terms of aesthetics, knowledge, emotion, interpretation and application. Although landscape is 'there', we control the imagination and cognitive construction of it. Fundamentally, landscape can be defined as a series of 'spaces' that become 'places', and, within this volume (the product of a number of conference sessions run between 1997-99 by the Theoretical Archaeology Group), 17 contributors re-address the...

Decoding Neolithic Atlantic and Mediterranean Island Ritual
ISBN: 9781785700507 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What constitutes an island and the archaeology contained within? Is it the physicality of its boundary (between shoreline and sea)? Does this physical barrier extend further into a watery zone? Archaeologically, can islands be defined by cultural heritage and influence? Clearly, and based on these few probing questions, islands are more than just lumps of rock and earth sitting in the middle of a sea or ocean. An island is a space which, when described in terms of topography, landscape form and resources, becomes a place. A place can sometimes be delineated with barriers and boundaries; it...

ISBN: 9781407303178 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Archaeology of Semiotics and the social order of things is edited by George Nash and George Children and brings together 15 thought-provoking chapters from contributors around the world. A sequel to an earlier volume published in 1997, it tackles the problem of understanding how complex communities interact with landscape and shows how the rules concerning landscape constitute a recognised and readable grammar. The mechanisms underlying landscape grammar are both physical and mental, being based in part on the mindset of the individual; the same landscape can thus evoke different meanings...

Place as Material Culture: Objects, Geographies and the Construction of Time
ISBN: 9781443842617 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The present book explores the complexity of the past, by analysing the relationships between place, territory, the material value of objects and landscapes, time and ritual, during archaeological investigations. It presents the archaeology of place as a series of interconnecting and interactive relationships. It is clear that things and places do not emerge without some form of agency, usually through the concept of material manipulation, coupled with elaboration, innovation and time. Depending on the raw material used and the process of manipulation and its relationship with the environment,...
