Archaeologies of the Greek Past: Landscape, Monuments, and Memories
ISBN: 9780521890007 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Social or collective memory has recently become a much debated subject in academic disciplines and in the popular media. People in antiquity surely possessed similar shared memories, but except for the limited accounts of elite authors--they are notoriously difficult to recover. This book explores how material culture, in particular the evidence of landscape and of monuments, can reveal commemorative practices and collective amnesias in past societies. Three case studies are considered--Greece in the early Roman period, Hellenistic and Roman Crete, and Messenia from Archaic to Hellenistic...

Cult activity played an extremely important role in ancient Greece--to the point, historians believe, that the placing of cult centers played a major part in establishing the whole concept of the city-state in archaic Greece.

ISBN: 9781785701580 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Twenty years ago, John Cherry looked forward to the day when archaeological survey projects working around the Mediterranean region (the 'Frogs round the pond') would begin to compare and synthesize the information they had collected. He anticipated researchers tackling big questions of interregional scope in new and interesting ways, working at a geographical scale considerably larger than that of the individual survey. Was his optimism misplaced? Despite the extraordinary growth of interest in field survey projects and regional analysis, and despite the developments in survey methodology...

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...

Southern Africa has one of the longest histories of occupation by modern humans and their ancestors anywhere in the world: over three million years.
