Myths of the Archaic State: Evolution of the Earliest Cities, States, and Civilizations
ISBN: 9780521521567 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Classical archaeology promotes the view that a state's evolution reflects general, universal forces. Norman Yoffee challenges the model in this book by presenting more complex and multi-linear models for the evolution of civilizations. Yoffee questions the definition of the prehistoric state, particularly that which heralds "the chiefdom" as the forerunner of the ancient state and explores case studies on the role of women in ancient societies.

Negotiating the Past in the Past: Identity, Memory, and Landscape in Archaeological Research
ISBN: 9780816526703 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that all history becomes subjective, that, in fact, properly there is no history, only biography. Today, Emerson s observation is hardly revolutionary for archaeologists; it has become conventional wisdom that the present is a battleground where interpretations of the events and meanings of the past are constantly being disputed. What were the major events? Whose lives did these events impact, and how? Who were the key players? What was their legacy? We know all too well that the answers to these questions can vary considerably depending on what political,...

Excavating Asian History: Interdisciplinary Studies in Archaeology and History
ISBN: 9780816524181 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although history and archaeology each seek to elucidate the past, both sets of data are incomplete and ambiguous and thus open to multiple readings that invite contradictory interpretations of human activity. This is particularly true when scholars of each field ignore or fail to understand research in the other discipline. Excavating Asian History contains case studies and theoretical articles that show how archaeologists have been investigating historical, social, and economic organizations and that explore the relationship between history and archaeology in the study of pre-modern...

The Palaeolithic Societies of Europe
ISBN: 9780521658720 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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...
