本文探讨了社会生活的游戏停止nes, a significant number of which have been found at the Late Bronze Age farming settlement of Aredhiou Vouppes, Cyprus. The number of gaming stones found at the site is unprecedented within a Late Cypriot context. Comparatively few are found in the contemporary urban centers, and in general they appear to be more typical of the Middle Cypriot social world. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the agency of these gaming stones, and to consider them as social mediators within the community of Aredhiou. It explores the social and cognitive lives of these objects, examining how they might be transformed and re-imagined as they moved through myriad states of existence throughout their object-life, and thus the various ways in which they were entangled in the social life of the settlement.

This thesis will be examining the efficacy of international cultural heritage law and its application to the terrorist-led destruction of cultural heritage. Over the past two decades, there has been a sharp increase in the terrorist-led destructions of cultural heritage, specifically in the Middle East. Such destructions rapidly drew the world’s attention as a direct result of the obliterations of the past and also through the effective use of both international and social media by organisations such as the Taliban and ISIS (Harmansah 2015). The ferocious attempt by both the Taliban and ISIS to obliterate history is an endeavour to legitimise the extremist ideologies which they promote, as well as establish their control over a population and to negate their history, heritage, and the identity of a civilisation (Turku 2018: 4). The key aim of this thesis is to examine the efficacy of international cultural heritage law in the terrorist-led destruction of archaeology in the Middle East. The research will be conducted through desk-based analysis, as current events and the still dangerous nature of the countries being discussed prevent any first-hand observations. Specific heritage laws will be identified and interrogated in association with the four case studies.

There are multiple approaches to bridging the gap between the relatively new world of three-dimensional survey and so-called reality-capture with traditional recording conventions and archaeological interpretative processes, challenges that have been encountered during the various fieldwork campaigns undertaken on the Ribadeo I wreck. Questions discussed in this paper include: does every team member need to be a 3D expert? Does a 3D specialist need to be an archaeologist? Is it enough to have a specialist 3D ‘navigator’, someone who can drive the software through the data and act as a guide to a wider team to deliver their own interpretation of the evidence? When conventional outputs are required, including plans, sections, profiles and other nautical-specific views, how can these be efficiently generated from the available photogrammetry and presented to provide comparable information to those who speak and require this type of visual language? This paper does not provide simple or definitive answers to these questions. However, the work undertaken so far on Ribadeo I can offer some contributions to current discussions and consider the challenges within the context of an internationally important shipwreck and work that is necessarily limited by available time and funds.

The New Materialisms are part of a wider turn to matter in the humanities and social sciences. This theoretical approach draws attention to matter, exploring the materiality of the world and specifically challenging anthropocentric approaches that prioritize humans over other nonhuman beings and entities. New materialists question dualistic ontologies that separate humans and nonhumans and problematize representationalism as another means of distancing humans from the rest of material world. Key to the New Materialisms is the understanding the matter is not inert and passive, but has agency, distinct from humanist notions of rationality and intentionality. The relationality of the material world, examining how the materials of the world are in relationship, is a key concept in the New Materialisms, although new materialists diverge in how they approach this. Assemblages explore how (im)material entities are continual in flux as the move into and out of relationship, while agential realism argues that the world is not made up of separate bounded entities. Instead, things-in-phenomena emerge from intra-actions and the agency of matter.

There is a rich body of three-dimensional art from Prehistoric Bronze Age Cyprus made in the Red Polished ware. This paper focuses on the Early Cypriot figured bowls from Bellapais Vounoi; it draws upon previous discussions of the materiality of the Red Polished corpus, and how these objects were entangled within human-object relations, with the aim to shed light on how human encounters with these objects created new social and material worlds in the Prehistoric Bronze Age. The primary focus is a consideration of the ancient aesthetic, questioning why modern scholarship has tended to move away from viewing ancient modelled worlds as ‘art’. In part this draws upon Gell’s notion of enchantment, which recognises that art objects are ‘beautifully made or made beautiful’ (Gell 1992: 43). It invites us to consider that rather than attempting to infer meaning from such material we should bear in mind Bloch’s cautionary tale of Malagasy carvings; these did not ‘mean’ anything, but simply ‘made the wood beautiful’ (Bloch 2005: 41). Are we reading too much into our interpretations – might the Red Polished figurative corpus simply represent beautiful objects made for pleasure, commissioned and enjoyed by an individual and buried with them as a favourite or valued possession?

Mycenaean decorated pottery has been found in significant quantities on Cyprus and was clearly the focus of a sustained trading endeavour between the island and the Aegean, particularly during the 14th and 13th centuries BC (LH IIIA2-LH IIIB). The bulk of these imports have been found at the urban centres that fringe the island’s coastline, these being the primary mediators of maritime trade; rather less has been found in the hinterland, at the primary production centres ‒ farming, mining and pottery production ‒ although there are concentrations at some of the specialised religious or ceremonial centres such as Myrtou Pigadhes and Athienou. I have previously argued that this apparent disjuncture in the distribution of Mycenaean pottery in part reflects the greater emphasis of excavation at the coastal sites, rather than necessarily a Late Bronze Age reality. Certainly, recent excavations at the inland settlement of Aredhiou have demonstrated that the smaller inland production sites did have sustained access to imported pottery from the Aegean, Egypt and the Levant. This paper reviews the consumption of Mycenaean imported pottery in Late Bronze Age Cyprus, focusing specifically on the hinterland. It provides a comparison between the better-known religious sites of Athienou and Myrtou Pigadhes and the small farming community at Aredhiou Vouppes to allow for a better understanding of the integration of the imported commodities within ritualised practice in the smaller communities situated away from the hustle and bustle of international mercantile trade.

Megalithic metrology, the notion that Neolithic monument builders employed a standard unit of measurement when setting out stone circles, has a long history. William Stukeley was the first to suggest that this standard unit was the druid cubit. He may have drawn on Isaac Newton's 1728 description of the temple of Abydos, which noted that the layout utilised cubits in the design, though the druid cubit was Stukeley's invention. This idea of a standard universal measure seemingly lay dormant for over a century until Edward Duke, Charles Piazzi Smyth and Sir William Flinders Petrie proposed other metrological systems. The subject was taken up again in 1930 when Ludovic McLellan Mann wrote a pamphlet entitled Craftsmen's Measures in Prehistoric Times in which he detailed new measures; the ‘alpha unit’ (0.619 inches) and the ‘beta unit’ (0.55 inches). A special committee formed from members of the Glasgow Archaeological Society and the Glasgow University Geological Society resoundingly disagreed, but Mann found approval from outside the archaeological community when his ideas were taken up by Major F C Tyler, who used them to elaborate on his own version of the lengths of Alfred Watkins’ old straight tracks. More famously, Alexander Thom made megalithic metrology, (the megalithic rod, yard, foot, and inch) an essential part of his thesis, ideas which received an esoteric twist in the New Age writings of John Michell. Was this an original discovery or was Thom influenced by Mann and others before him?

This paper explores Egyptian influence in Late Bronze Age Cyprus through the lens of cultural hybridity. It draws specifically on Bhabha’s concept of the third space, identified here as an in-between space where two (or more) cultural identities mix and become materially entangled. Key for such an analysis of Cypro-Egyptian contacts is the understanding that this place need not have any direct political dimensions but instead could be a fluid space characterized by diverse contact situations. The focus is Egyptian(izing) objects from Enkomi, which highlight the cultural impact of New Kingdom Cypro-Egyptian cultural contacts. .

一系列的巨大的地球物理异常,所在地south of the Durrington Walls henge monument, were identified during fluxgate gradiometer survey undertaken by the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project (SHLP). Initially interpreted as dewponds, these data have been re-evaluated, along with information on similar features revealed by archaeological contractors undertaking survey and excavation to the north of the Durrington Walls henge. Analysis of the available data identified a total of 20 comparable features, which align within a series of arcs adjacent to Durrington Walls. Further geophysical survey, supported by mechanical coring, was undertaken on several geophysical anomalies to assess their nature, and to provide dating and environmental evidence. The results of fieldwork demonstrate that some of these features, at least, were massive, circular pits with a surface diameter of 20m or more and a depth of at least 5m. Struck flint and bone were recovered from primary silts and radiocarbon dating indicates a Late Neolithic date for the lower silts of one pit. The degree of similarity across the 20 features identified suggests that they could have formed part of a circuit of large pits around Durrington Walls, and this may also have incorporated the recently discovered Larkhill causewayed enclosure. The diameter of the circuit of pits exceeds 2km and there is some evidence that an intermittent, inner post alignment may have existed within the circuit of pits. One pit may provide evidence for a recut; suggesting that some of these features could have been maintained through to the Middle Bronze Age. Together, these features represent a unique group of features related to the henge at Durrington Walls, executed at a scale not previously recorded.

Abstract: The Middle East plays a central role in human history harbouring a vast diversity of ethnic, cultural and religious groups. However, much remains to be understood about past and present genomic diversity in this region. Here we present a multidisciplinary bioarchaeological analysis of two individuals dated to the late 7th and early 8th centuries, the Umayyad Era, from Tell Qarassa, an open-air site in modern-day Syria. Radiocarbon dates and burial type are consistent with one of the earliest Islamic Arab burials in the Levant. Interestingly, we found genomic similarity to a genotyped group of modern-day Bedouins and Saudi rather than to most neighbouring Levantine groups. This study represents the genomic analysis of a secondary use site with characteristics consistent with an early Islamic burial in the Levant. We discuss our findings and possible historic scenarios in the light of forces such as genetic drift and their possible interaction with religious and cultural processes (including diet and subsistence practices).

This thesis uses ethnographic field research and literature analysis to examine the sometimes fraught interactions and relationships between the archaeologists and heritage managers who manage and interpret the material remains of Britain’s ancient past and contemporary Pagan groups to whom such remains are sacred. It provides a description of contestation of sites and human corporeal remains followed by a detailed analysis of the reasons presented in the discourse of contestation and the underlying attitudes behind the issues. The Thesis concludes with some thoughts on how heritage managers and archaeologists may better manage their interactions with the Pagan community in the future.

Around the times of sunrise and sunset, the sun’s reflection on a large body of water, such as a sea, appears as an elongated gold band, also called a ‘glitter path’. For the first time, this research explores this intangible manifestation of light from an archaeological perspective, focusing on the Late Bronze Age culture present on the Greek island of Crete. The observations gathered during the phenomenological fieldwork revealed that the elongated sunlight reflection has the qualities of a natural manifestation of the cosmological concept of the axis mundi, echoing the liminal convergence of opposing realities. By comparing Late Minoan III funerary iconography with the fieldwork results, this study developed an interpretation of Minoan eschatological beliefs establishing analogies between the cultural and the natural world. In particular, the hybrid form of the octopus-plant motif was analysed: the multivocality of the psychopomp octopus symbol may reveal, in its transformation into a flower and a water pillar, an affinity of shapes and qualities with the glitter path. A solar eschatology can be deduced in a Minoan world where life and death seems to procreate each other: the vision of the glitter path across the chthonic sea might have been regarded, in the Late Bronze Age, as the luminous roadway toward afterlife regeneration.

A deep rift in opinion exists concerning the evolution, if at all, of the Κελτοί/Celtae of prehistoric continental Western Europe into the Celts associated with the modern inhabitants of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany. On the one hand, the peoples labelled as Κελτοί/Celtae by the Greeks and Romans did not suddenly appear in continental Western Europe in the first millennium BC but had lived and developed there over many generations. Much of what we know of them comes from the Greeks and Romans and from their weapons and ornaments they buried with their dead. Ancient authors never assigned the label Κελτοί/Celtae to the inhabitants of the British Isles On the other hand, over twelve hundred years later, Lhuyd published his work in the field of comparative linguistics in 1707AD identifying similarities in the languages of his day in Brittany, Cornwall, Ireland, Scotland and Wales with that of ancient Gaul, choosing the label Celtic for this group of languages. Other eighteenth century scholars concerned with early Europe and with a growing knowledge of prehistoric monuments and artefacts then created their vision of the past peopled with Celts and Druids. This exposition examines relevant classical and present day texts concerning history, language and linguistics, literature, archaeology and genetics sources outlining essential arguments particular to both perspectives, collating interdisciplinary arguments where possible whilst demonstrating inherent and perhaps irreconcilable incongruities. A final discussion deliberates on possible time-line tracks or interconnections between the ancient Κελτοί/Celtae and the present day Celts.

This thesis addresses the question of what happened to monastic estates in Wales following the Dissolution of the Monasteries between 1536 and 1540, when the majority of former monastic land in Wales was absorbed into the estates of secular Welsh elites, or uchelwyr. The lens through which this broad topic is viewed is one of the granges of the Cistercian abbey of Strata Florida, namely Blaenaeron grange. Through this case study the thesis accomplishes two things: it identifies elements of continuity in land use and occupancy despite the change from monastic to secular lordship, and at the same time, determines the impact of that newly-acquired land on the social and political lives of the landowners. The effects of the Dissolution on former Welsh monastic land has not been studied in the same depth as for England. Yet Wales cannot be treated as a shadow of England. The dissolution occurred at the same time as the passage of the Acts of Union with Wales (1535-1542), making the period immediately post-dissolution a time of great change for Wales in more ways than one. It saw not only an availability of large swathes of former monastic land, but also changes in laws allowing native Welshmen more freedoms in landownership, society, and government. How these changes were felt by the uchelwyr, and the importance of these monastic lands in the processes of the changes, were previously left unaddressed. This thesis addresses two questions: was there continuity of land use from the pre-monastic period to post-dissolution, and how did the sudden availability of land for purchase in Wales coinciding with legal changes allowing native Welsh to purchase land impact on the Welsh elite class, or uchelwyr? Strata Florida’s grange of Blaenaeron was the case study selected for this research as there is a large body of documentary evidence for the grange post-dissolution through estate records, most notably the Trawscoed Estate records belonging to the Vaughan family, and government documents. Documentary evidence is supported by landscape clues found in place names, monuments, maps, and narrative histories, all of which are applied to the manorial template established in the Llyfr Iorwerth. What emerges through this material is the story of long family connections with their lands, and the application of previously established social and political connections to return the land to the control of the family. The Vaughan family of Trawscoed had obtained ownership of Blaenaeron grange in its entirety by 1630, nearly a hundred years after dissolution. However, their documented family associations with that land began as early as the thirteenth century. Estate records support Vaughan relationships with landholdings within Blaenaeron grange beginning with the earliest surviving records, offering a picture of multilevel continuity on the land. The Vaughan family’s pre-existing political and social standing appears to have aided in their 1630 land purchase, rather than the land purchase facilitating their rise in standing. All of this indicates a strong affiliation with family land in Wales leading to a determination to remain in place despite changes happening in the larger political and social spheres.

This paper considers the application of the New Materialisms within archaeology, primarily in response to Witmore’s influential discussion paper: Archaeology and the New Materialisms (2014), specifically his emphasis on things. This we demonstrate is peripheral to the main thrust of the New Materialisms discourse. We unravel complexities in the terminology and consider the etymological and epistemological framework of concepts such as matter and thing. This leads us to consider some important issues that arise applying Deleuzian assemblages to the archaeological record and the potential of employing Barad’s agential realist theory instead. Barad’s concept of phenomena moves beyond the notion of things as separate, bounded entities, emphasizing entanglements of matter, and illustrates how matter (including humans) co-create the material world. Our aim is to demonstrate how engaging with matter rather than things, enables us to better make sense of the material world and our place within it.

Detecting association between archaeological sites and physical landscape elements like geological deposits, vegetation, drainage networks, or areas of modern disturbance like mines or quarries is a key goal of archaeological projects. This goal is complicated by the incomplete nature of the archaeological record, the high degree of uncertainty of typical point distribution patterns, and, in the case of deeply buried archaeological sites, the absence of reliable information about the ancient landscape itself. Standard statistical approaches may not be applicable (e.g. X2 test) or are difficult to apply correctly (regression analysis). Monte Carlo simulation, devised in the late 1940s by mathematical physicists, offers a way to approach this problem. In this paper, we apply a Monte Carlo approach to test for association between Lower and Middle Palaeolithic sites in Hampshire and Sussex, UK, and quarries recorded on historical maps. We code our approach in the popular ‘R’ software environment, describing our methods step-by-step and providing complete scripts so others can apply our method to their own cases. Association between sites and quarries is clearly shown. We suggest ways to develop the approach further, e.g. for detecting associations between sites or artefacts and remotely-sensed deposits or features, e.g. from aerial photographs or geophysical survey.

Norse place-names for farms, individual landscape features and general landscape areas are ubiquitous throughout the Orkney Islands. These have an origin during the mediaeval period AD790–1350 when Orkney was ruled by Scandinavian earls. The oldest referenced maps for the parish of Harray (West Mainland, Orkney) suggests that in the past significant waterways crossed wetlands extending between the Loch of Harray and Houseby in an area associated with the earldom power base at Birsay. Subsequent drainage projects, changes in climate and sea level have since resulted in the loss of the waterways. An investigation of the wetlands using geophysical and geological analysis provided a reconstruction of the palaeo-environments. Comparison with place-names of significance allowed interpretation of possible routeways along navigable waters by shallow-draught Viking-Age vessels. The results allow for redrawing the map of Norse Orkney and postulation of produce transfer corridors from estates in the south to the power centre at Birsay

Can we theorise the relationship between discourses that antagonise each other? In a recent article, Arponen et al. (2019) demonstrate the tension between two different research models, and spotlight the compelling impact these methods have on archaeological interpretation. In response to their ob- servations, this paper theorises how we can understand the position of the researcher in relation to the events they analyse. Using Michel Foucault’s (1972) approach to the ‘discursive formation’ and Karen Barad’s (2007) agential realism theory, in this reaction I argue that focusing on a single and most important point (the crux) is problematic, and theoretically outline how creating conceptual space for polymorphous causality can aid the analysis of a ‘dispersion of events’ (see Foucault 1972, 22).

本文考察了迈锡尼文明的女性雕像,佛cusing on their gesture, posture, and dress as evidence for somatic messages of Mycenaean female personhood and identity and what this might tell us about women’s lives in Late Bronze Age Greece. The primary focus is on the corporeal messages encoded in the figurines, with reference to Butler’s understanding of gender performativity and Connerton’s notion of incorporated body knowledges, to better understand how the figurines were embedded in Mycenaean habitus. This includes an experiential study of the gestures and posture of the figurines, to explore ancient embodied experiences, and analysis of the painted and applied details of clothing of the three main female types. The aim of the paper is to explore becoming a Mycenaean woman through the medium of sculpted clay.

那么创作实践到底扮演了什么样的角色在社会生活e at the Neolithic tell Çatalhöyük, and what evidence is there to suggest that making informed the maintenance of the ‘social bond’? Socio-creativity is an undeveloped but important area of research for archaeological approaches to the Neolithic, and offers a unique opportunity to consider both individual and community dynamics, tensions and changing social values from the residues of material interactions. Utilising the work of Bennett (2010a), Barad (2003, 2007, 2012), and Gell (1998) I formulate a critically-informed but practically embedded methodology that finds material “phenomena” (Barad 2003) at the settlement. Çatalhöyük offers a particularly unique example of social organisation as it is believed to have been an egalitarian settlement (Hodder 2014a,c). Furthermore, the material culture provides us with a rich dataset that contains the traces of highly creative and materially-engaged individuals who routinely made and re-made things, such as sunbaked clay figurines, basketry, and beads. I focus on Neolithic interactions with colourful or brilliant materials, substances, and spaces, and explore how these material interactions, as phenomena, reveal certain sensorial dynamics in-action at the Neolithic town. I outline how creative practices can create certain sensory dispositions - ways of seeing, feeling and doing - and I argue that the senses can be profiled during making events (cf. Howes and Classen 1991). The sensorial implications of making have wider connotations for the changing dynamics and tensions between ‘communities of practice’, and can yield important information about macro-scale changes in lifeways (Lave and Wenger 1991; Wenger 1998, 2012; Wendrich 2012; Bartlett and McAnany 2000). I contend that creative practice was an important element of egalitarian community maintenance and argue that socio-creativity played an integral role in social organisation at Çatalhöyük.

The article discusses an unique and innovative project relating to unprovenanced ancient Egyptian objects and how they can have a place in modern culture through the perspective and (re)interpretation by academics (Egyptologists, museum and heritage professionals), students and members of the community. The outlined case-study is situated within a framework of pertinent, contemporary discourse regarding the emotional power of both objects and storytelling, drawing on use of narrative as a means to structure our understanding of the world. The impact of storytelling is used to unlock inherent potential in material culture – the ‘charismatic’ object – in order to forge ‘bonds’ between people and things. The project showcases how museums can reach out to a wider community and encourage their review of objects through storytelling, art and alternative narratives through the ‘Museum of Lies’ as part of an annual pop-up exhibition. This is compared with examples of other storytelling museums across Europe (The Museum of Innocence, Istanbul; Das Lügenmuseum, Radebeul). ‘Lies’ in this instance are understood to be a developmental academic learning tool that inspire the creative imagination and reinforces the (academic) object biography, thereby raising intriguing questions about academic vs emotional truth and the ways in which meaning is negotiated and inevitably influenced by the context in which it is interpreted. This approach is able to influence museological practice (approaches to unprovenanced objects in museums’ collections) and may help to reinvigorate stored collections which otherwise might be in danger to be deaccessioned and disposal precisely due to their perceived lack of storytelling capacity. By questioning ideas of truth, curiosity and the function of museums, this project can also be seen in the current discourse around the ‘museums are not neutral’ movement that aims to challenge the historic notion that the museum is objective and unbiased.

A narrative account is presented of the location and functions of residences of the bishops of Aberdeen and Moray. Archaeological, documentary and place-name evidence is used, as well as vernacular traditions, to examine the development of bishops’ palaces, castles and manors in the two sees from Pictish times up to the Reformation. The role of chapels in bishops’ residences is addressed as well as the co-option of the cults of local and national saints in the maintenance of episcopal authority. Because the documentary evidence is sparse and there is considerable variation in the surviving physical evidence (from earthworks to an extremely large masonry tower at Spynie), bishops’ palaces in Scotland have received less attention than is the case with monasteries. In reviewing the evidence this article contrasts the geographically widespread distribution of residences in the diocese of Aberdeen with the concentration of sites round the now drained Loch Spynie in Moray.

Philosopher and Physicist Karen Barad (2003, 2007, 2012) has brought a new understanding of causality to the academic discourse (agential realism theory). Inspired by this new take on causality, I problematise the argument that archaeologists ‘follow’ materials. I begin by challenging the act of ‘following’ on two counts (causality and universalism), and then consider the work of Malafouris–a thinker whose ideas have the potential to remediate this issue through his examination of the ‘in between’ humans and matter (2008c). I argue that, despite offering an inspirational approach to mind-matter relationships, the dialectical relationship he evokes remains problematic from a Baradian perspective as it is still rooted in ‘following’. I suggest that Barad’s agential realism offers a valuable conceptual framework for researchers who are weary of ‘unilateral’ (Barad 2007, 214) linear causality and keen to move beyond dialectical thinking

In this article, we provide practical and straightforward guidance for the selection and sampling of shipwreck timbers for dendrochronological research. We outline sampling strategies and present informative figures that illustrate how to proceed in a variety of scenarios that archaeologists regularly encounter. However, in order to fully exploit the potential of tree-ring research on these objects, we would urge archaeologists to involve dendrochronologists during the project planning phase to carefully plan and conduct adequate sampling of shipwreck assemblages.

This paper examines how water shaped people’s interaction with the landscape in Cyprus during the Bronze Age. The theoretical approach is drawn from the new materialisms, effectively a ‘turn to matter’, which emphasises the very materiality of the world and challenges the privileged position of human agents over the rest of the environment. The paper specifically moves away from more traditional approaches to landscape archaeology, such as central place theory and more recently network theory, which serve to separate and distance people from the physical world they live in, and indeed are a part of; instead it focuses on an approach that embeds humans, and the social/material worlds they create, as part of the environment, exploring human interactions within the landscape as assemblages, or entanglements of matter. It specifically emphasises the materiality and agency of water and how this shaped people’s engagement with, and movement through, their landscape. The aim is to encourage archaeologists to engage with the materiality of things, to better understand how people and other matter co-create the material (including social) world.

This article explores how material culture is used to shape, mediate and transform social relations within contact zones. The aim is to highlight cultural hybridity, namely the material expression of new social practices within a colonial third space. It focuses on the Gaza region of the southern Levant during the later second millennium BC, a cosmopolitan period, illustrated by large-scale movement of goods, raw materials and exotic luxuries over vast distances around the East Mediterranean resulting in cultural connectivity. The Late Bronze Age in the Gaza region is also characterized by Egyptian colonial activity. Consequently, this article examines material evidence for the development of new social practices in the region and in particular the adoption of Egyptian(izing) exotica in the creation and mediation of new hybrid identities. Specifically, it explores the social life of objects at two important Late Bronze Age sites in the region: el-Moghraqa and Deir el-Balah

Two of the questions most frequently asked by archaeologists of sites and the objects that populate them are ‘How old are you?’ and ‘Where are you from?’ These questions can often be answered through archaeometric dating and provenance analyses. As both archaeological sites and objects, shipwrecks pose a special problem in archaeometric dating and provenance because when they sailed, they often accumulated new construction material as timbers were repaired and replaced. Additionally, during periods of globalization, such as the so-called Age of Discovery, the provenance of construction materials may not reflect where the ship was built due to long-distance timber trade networks and the global nature of these ships’ sailing routes. Accepting these special challenges, nautical archaeologists must piece together the nuanced relationship between the ship, its timbers, and the shipwreck, and to do so, wood samples must be removed from the assemblage. Besides the provenance of the vessel’s wooden components, selective removal and analysis of timber samples can also provide researchers with unique insights relating to environmental history. For this period, wood samples could help produce information on the emergent global economy; networks of timber trade; forestry and carpentry practices; climate patterns and anomalies; forest reconstruction; repairs made to ships and when, why, and where those occurred; and much more. This book is a set of protocols to establish the need for wood samples from shipwrecks and to guide archaeologists in the removal of samples for a suite of archaeometric techniques currently available to provenance the timbers used to construct wooden ships and boats. While these protocols will prove helpful to archaeologists working on shipwreck assemblages from any time period and in any place, this book uses Iberian ships of the 16th to 18th centuries as its case studies because their global mobility poses additional challenges to the problem at hand. At the same time, their prolificacy and ubiquity make the wreckage of these ships a uniquely global phenomenon.

This paper will give an insight in the particular problems of dealing with Egyptian artefacts belonging to the Cyfarthfa Castle Museum and Art Galleries, Merthyr Tydfil, Wales (UK) resulting from a cooperative project between the Museum and University of Wales Trinity Saint David, School of Archaeology, History and Anthropology, led by the author. Most of them had once formed the private collection of Harry Hartley Southey (1871-1917), son of a local south Welsh newspaper magnate. Commissioned by the museum to write the Welsh heritage of these objects, the author combines Egyptological methods with heritage approaches to enable the museum to prove its community outreach which secures the funding of the museum. By creating as detailed as possible object biographies from the time of production of the objects in ancient Egypt over the moment of collection in the late 19th and early 20th century AD to modern reception and understanding, the biographies have to focus on the ancient Egyptian life-cycle of these unprovenanced objects as well as the (modern) narrative in which we are embedding them by using archaeological and anthropological theory. Following the contesting meanings and several identities of these ancient Egyptian objects – and several replicas from the late 19th and early 20th centuries AD – the urgency to deal with heritage becomes clear, be it “our” or world heritage, tangible or intangible.

本文探讨了如何最近人类学hodologies (materialities approach) as well as concepts at the interface between archaeology and anthropology (experiential and sensual archaeology) inevitably widens the boundaries of Egyptology. Egyptology however does not only have to be the recipient of new ideas. The material culture of ancient Egypt can equally enrich the discussion of new intellectual frameworks like New Materialism or New Materialities within anthropology. Testing advantages, practicalities and limitations of such theories with the help of the materiality of objects can lead either to their verification and subsequent implementation or in contrast to a – partial – falsification and rework. The crossing point between anthropology and Egyptology is especially interesting and beneficial for the discussion of unprovenanced museum objects whose information regarding the context of origin and any indication of what happened with the artefacts between the moment of discovery and today is completely or partially lost. Taking inspiration from Latour’s actants, Barad’s agential realism and Bennett’s thing power – relating the potential of agency to materials and objects in human lives – the presented case study contributes to a discussion of the physical relationship of material objects and the human body focusing on states when materiality seeps deliberately and dangerously into immateriality. This is explored at the example of unpublished headrests from the Cyfarthfa Castle Museum, Merthyr Tydfil (Wales, UK) by looking on the intersection of bodies with the material that also could be interpreted as inter-material communication. Impressions of fabric on their wooden surface are presumably the imprint of bedding intended to ensure comfortable sleep telling us about the sensual experience using these artefacts. The contact between skin and rough wood needed to be alleviated. This theoretical discussion is then set against an experimental and experiential archaeological approach focusing on sensual experiences with these headrests.

Food is bound to or carried by supporting materiality in the form of artefacts in very different materials, forms, shapes and sizes for its different states of production, retrieval, extraction, preparation, storage, and consumption. Sometimes this material culture becomes very closely connected to a specific (group of) food product(s), as certain types of beer vessels, storage containers or bread moulds in ancient Egypt tell us. Occasionally, the artefacts even become a synonym for the food stuff it should have carried or contained. The carrier then acts as a symbolic substitute for the whole package consisting of the container and real or symbolic food. These often very simple substitutes or models perform as representations in the process of symbolic afterlife food consumption. The offering plate CC 308.004 from Cyfarthfa Castle Museums and Art Gallery, Merthyr Tydfil (Wales) does not usually appeal to museum visitors due to its very basic design and rough manufacture, but is to be seen in line with the lavish offering stands and tables known from ancient Egyptian tombs. The act of ritualistic offering of these simplistic and empty plates should not be seen as non-consumption, but helped magically to provision and nourish the dead with everything necessary to live on in the afterlife. Therefore it stands as a marker for foodstuffs, food consumption, consumed sustenance and explains an important part of ancient Egyptian afterlife beliefs. To understand the ambivalence between actual and symbolic food consumption and the expression of both in the materiality of the object was the goal of this extended object biography. What is of greater interest is the link between the narrative of the object, foodstuffs and the connected social worlds that it represents (Steel 2013, esp. 190-6). What has been presented here is a narrative of realistic and potential life cycle and the biography of a single lacklustre object CC308.004 with its incredible interesting storyline.

本章一致more-than-hum的焦点an (cf. Whatmore 2002) and New Materialities (Cr. Barad 2003, 2007; Bennett 2010; Coole and Frost 2010) moves together so as to highlight the co-productive and agential role water plays in shaping the lives and bodies of a small group of Giriama subsistence farmers in rural Kenya. This community, increasingly troubled by creeping desertification and the accompanying poor harvests that it brings, have been obliged to seek water at great distances on a daily basis. This brute reality and the exclusive reliance on environmental waters has altered since the successfully construction of a sweet-water well financed by a group of UK-based development agencies. This chapter interrogates the problems of disregarding the profoundly entangled corporeal and ecological continuum that flows between water and bodies generally (Cf. Bennett 2010), and, using this framing, considers the material abilities of water and bodies during areas and times of water scarcity to engage and demonstrate how fluidity and movement supports their mutuality. Therefore, rather than considering water simply as a resource for human use, I am choosing to establish water as a subject that, through its physical abilities and material behaviours, not only shapes cultural ontologies but also through ingestion viscerally upholds, mobilises and sustains bodies.

This submission for a PhD BY published work examines archaeological historiography and lithic artefact studies concerning aspects of the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeology of Wales. The critical analysis connects the published works through the theoretical approach of biography. It draws out themes of archaeological, straigraphic and museum context where appropriate. The critical analysis commences with an examination of publications concerning the history of research at Palaeolithic cave sites in Wales. It identifies the sources and methodologies used then analyses their effectiveness for presenting histories of caves. The historiography of lithic artefact studies is then examined before an analysis is offered of the methodological approaches of technology, chronology, typology and the chaine operatoire as used in the published works. By applying the concept that artefacts have biographies, the archaeological context for individual and surface assemblages of lithic artefacts is explored. This leads to a discussion of archaeological projects and examines the fieldwork techniques adopted in the publications to elucidate archaeological context.There is an examination of the factors that influence the resulting archive and a discussion of its use as a resource for determining past work at archaeological sites. By exploring thesetopics the concept of biographies of people, places , artefacts and projects emerges. These biographies are drawn together into an assessment of their use for presenting archaeological narratives for regions of Wales. The final conclusions draw the aims of the critical analysis of the published works together before offering concluding thoughts about the continuation of antiquarian traditions in collecting lithic artefacts across Wales.

This study considers urban poverty within Batu and Addis, Ethiopia, as an outcome of relationships. By unpacking the complex interplay between institutional action, perception, and lived experience of urban poverty, I contend that historical and social relationships between the poor and non-poor shape the plight of the urban poor. I further explore how these social and historical constructs are subsequently translated through institutional action and experience. Ethiopia's historical and social contexts nurture poverty and inform how the poor are perceived. Institutional action, perceptions and quotidian experiences with the other then compound the pre-established constructions and stigmas by re-enforcing classist systems, notions of deservingness, ethnic and social stigmas, and the attribution of blame. While urban poverty and the urban poor are not inherent in policy and State, the individual urban poor occupy an uncomfortable but central position within the minds of the Ethiopian non-poor.

以下论文提出了three-dimensional digital documentation methods and modelling approaches used during the excavation and post-excavation research phases of the Newport Medieval Ship Project. The primary case study is the Newport Medieval Ship, a large clinker-built merchant vessel discovered in 2002 in Newport, Wales, United Kingdom. The use of accurate and efficient three-dimensional digital recording methodologies has allowed for the development of innovative approaches to organising, analysing, modelling and disseminating data about the individual timbers and the overall original hull form. The utilisation of advanced digital technology and engineering, in the form of Rhinoceros3D modelling software, contact digitising and rapid prototyping has enabled the project to develop and test a variety of new methodologies for documenting and reconstructing ancient vessels. Results of the individual ship timber documentation and modelling methodologies are presented, along with analysis and comparison to more traditional documentation and reconstruction approaches. Additionally, the thesis examines the changing philosophical or conceptual approaches to hull form recording and reconstruction research over the last 200 years, and focuses in detail on the last 20 years of the rapidly evolving field of digital documentation in nautical archaeology.

This article examines the evidence for engagement with the rural post-medieval landscape using two national case studies: Wales and Scotland. The issues reflected in these case studies are indicative of the wider challenges for archaeologists and professional practitioners alike. The article recognizes that landscape is not just about geographical place, but an archaeological theoretical framework. It proposes that Post-Medieval Archaeology monographs and conference sessions specific to landscape could help to tease out themes that address the big questions of the post-medieval world — capitalism, modernity and improvement — but also take account of agency, identity and meaning

An 18th century Glamorgan poet, antiquary and literary forger pored through the histories of the Welsh who were the inheritors of ancient Druidic practice. Iolo Morgannwg found precious little to fit his narrative so he invented the missing elements passing it them off as scholarly discovery (Hutton, 2008:253-4). He shaped and manipulated history, tradition and the notion of place and landscape in order to create a series of Druidic festivals to fit his narrative of antiquity. Eco’s (2013: 431) consideration of ‘place’ also tells us that legendary lands depend on “ancient legends whose origins are lost in the mists of time”. Odd then, that many pagan, environmental and neo-eco groups typically adopt an ahistorical view of the human relationship with nature (Letcher 2001:156). Where the past is acknowledged, it is in reference to a “‘golden age,’ of a time when humanity lived in a Rousseau-like state of innocence, in a harmonious relationship with a benevolent nature” (ibid.). This paper is about the rich and complex past of the British landscape and its woodlands. It seeks to act as a signpost for those that engage with treescapes, the wildwood and myth and place and space.

This paper explores social practices and the material world at Aredhiou Vouppes, a Late Bronze Age rural community in the Cypriot hinterland. In-depth analysis of the excavation results demonstrates that this site was more complex than current typologies of inland production centres, based mainly on survey data, would suggest. Instead it was multi-functional and played an important economic role within the wider Cypriot landscape. This paper explores the evidence for initial occupation at Aredhiou during MC III-LC I, but the main focus is on the substantial LC IIC remains. Through a detailed contextual analysis, and the identification of a multiplicity of activities practiced at the site, it examines social practice, gender relations and ritual performance within a small farming community.

本文还探讨了物质刺激的食物uction and consumption within the household in Bronze Age Cyprus. The focus is on embodied encounters with the “stuff of food”—the pots, pans, and other kitchen implements that were used on a daily basis—and how these shaped people’s lives. Throughout the Early and Middle Bronze Ages, generations of families on Cyprus used Red Polished pottery to serve and consume food and drink: the round-bottomed pots were not designed to be laid on a table, indicative of the development of very specific customs of dining at home. The very limited range of pottery (wares and forms) available to the Early-Middle Cypriot householder suggests a monotone cultural experience. The introduction of vessels with flat bases or ring bases at the beginning of the Late Bronze Age might indicate a move to dining around a table—a radically different engagement with the physical, material world that undoubtedly affected social relations. This was accompanied by radical shifts in production practices—a move away from household production into the realm of craft specialists—alongside which there was an explosion in the range of tableware for consumption of food and drink and of utilitarian wares used within the kitchen. This article interrogates the implied transformations in the cultural knowledge embedded within people’s engagement with their material world and the very different visual and tactile experiences involved in the daily use of pottery in the Late Bronze Age Cypriot household.

Konigin Nofretete坚持不ohne Kenntnis阿玛nazeit zu verstehen, genauso wie diese innovative Periode ohne sie nicht beschrieben werden kann. Der vorliegende Artikel spürt der neu definierten Rolle der Königinnen in der Königsideologie dieser Zeit am Beispiel Nofretetes nach und macht deutlich, daß das Fach Ägyptologie Referenzpunkte schaffen muss, um die Qualitäten dieser Königin adäquat beschreiben zu können. It is not possible to understand queen Nefertiti without a perception of the Amarna Period as a time of change and innovation. Equally we need to comprehend Nefertiti to research the Amarna Period. This article debates the newly defined role of Nefertiti as the prototype of the royal women of Amarna within the ideology of ancient Egyptian kingship. It is argued that Egyptology as a subject needs to create points of reference to adequately describe the aspects of this queen.

Examining the representations of Amarna citizens in order to construct a basis as to why Tel el-Amarna was considered to be a religious utopia when the realities of the skeletal remains suggest otherwise.

本文研究材料cultur形式e from the background of social archaeology, which will focus on the Cypriot site of Arediou-Vouppes, a Late Bronze Age production settlement at the foothills of the Troodos Massif. Primary attention will be given to the gaming stones discovered on the site during several seasons of survey and excavation, carried out under the direction of Dr. Louise Steel. I hope to demonstrate how such an aspect of material culture can be used to assist in an understanding of a site’s social make up and identity. The gaming stones context and possible function in Arediou will be examined and compared to the use of gaming stones in other Bronze Age Cypriot sites. My aim is to people the past and in so doing challenge the predominantly anonymous narratives of the discipline of archaeology. Ultimately my intention is to remove the so-called ‘faceless blobs’ of prehistory (Tringham 1991: 94), and replace them with socially active human beings, in so doing giving rightful consideration to the highly complex social dimensions of the site and its material remains.

本文地址是否成的问题r the prehistoric Mnajdra Temples in Malta were intentionally constructed to face astronomical events in the sky. Using a combination of archeoastronomical fieldwork measurements, photography, phenomenology and experimental archaeoastronomy, the possibility that the temples were purposely built as a sacred site to pay respect and obeisance to the power of the cosmos is investigated. The role of the sky in the wider cosmology of the temple builders, living on an island where sea, earth and heavens were important elements, is also explored with recourse to the archaeological record of the Temple Period. It will be argued that the Mnajdra South Temple is the world’s oldest structure that seems to be intentionally aligned towards the oscillation of the rising sun throughout the year. The debate over whether the temple was intentionally built as a ‘solar calendar’ or a device to keep track of time and seasons is examined. The search for celestial intentionality behind the architecture of the Mnajdra complex has also led to a proposal of a redefined chronology for its construction, based on both archaeological and archaeoastronomical arguments. This redefined chronology suggests that there was continuous interest in the sun’s position throughout the one and a half millennia of its construction which substantiates the hypothesis that the temple was built with awareness of the movements of celestial bodies, especially the sun’s cyclical vitalising and animating effect on earthly life. The uniqueness of each temple’s distinct orientation may suggest an increasingly sophisticated knowledge of cosmology, alignments and horizon-based astronomy, implying an astronomically-based intentionality of the builders.

This dissertation explores evidence for the practice of astronomy in central southern England during the Mesolithic and early Neolithic. It argues that those who built the prehistoric structures known as Cotswold-Severn earthen tombs embedded archaeoastronomic intent within their monuments’ architecture for both navigational and calendrical purposes. This research analyses various aspects of the archaeology found within the tombs and claims the monuments show evidence of intended alignment to specific celestial horizon events. The period under investigation is one of transition not just between eras, but possibly in the types of astronomy practised as well, thus there is also investigation into whether there was a shift from a lunar to solar allegiance at this time.
