Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Over 150 years of research in the Circum-Alpine region have produced a vast amount of data on the lakeshore and wetland settlements found throughout the area. Particularly in the northern region, dendrochronological studies have provided highly accurate sequences of occupation, which have cor…related, in turn, to palaeoclimatic reconstructions in the area. The result has been the general conclusion that the lake-dwelling tradition was governed by climatic factors, with communities abandoning the lakeshore during periods of inclement conditions, and returning when the climate was more favourable. Such a cyclical pattern occurred from the 4th millennium BC to 800 BC, at which time the lakeshores were abandoned and never extensively re-occupied. Was this final break with a long-lasting tradition solely the result of climatic fluctuation, or were cultural factors a more decisive influence for the decline of lake-dwelling occupation Studies of material culture have shown that some of the Late Bronze Age lake-dwellings in the northern Alpine region were significant centres for the production and exchange of bronzework and manufactured products, linking northern Europe to the southern Alpine forelands and beyond. However, during the early Iron Age the former lake-dwelling region does not show such high levels of incorporation to long-distance exchange systems. Combining the evidence of material culture studies with occupation patterns and burial practices, this volume proposes an alternative to the climatically-driven models of lake-dwelling abandonment. This is not to say that climate change did not influence those communities, but that it was only one factor among many. More significantly, it was a combination of social choice to abandon the shore, and subsequent cultural developments that inhibited the full scale reoccupation of the lakes.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this book an analysis of over 300 animal bone assemblages from English Saxon and Scandinavian sites is presented. The data set is summarised in extensive tables for use as comparanda for future archaeozoological studies. Animals in Saxon and Scandinavian England takes as its core four broa…d areas of analysis. The first is an investigation of the diet of the population, and how food was used to establish social boundaries. Increasingly diverse diets are recognised, with high-status populations distinguishing themselves from other social sectors through the way food was redistributed and the diversity of taxa consumed. Secondly, the role of animals in the economy is considered, looking at how animal husbandry feeds into underlying modes of production throughout the Saxon period. From the largely self-sufficient early Saxon phase animal husbandry becomes more specialised to supply increasingly urban settlements. The ensuing third deliberation takes into account the foodways and interactions between producer and consumer sites, considering the distribution of food and raw materials between farm, table and craft worker. Fundamental changes in the nature of the Saxon economy distinguish a move away from food renders in the middle Saxon phase to market-based provisioning; opening the way for greater autonomy of supply and demand. Finally, the role of wics and burhs as centres of production is investigated, particularly the organisation of manufacture and provisioning with raw materials.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book discusses one of the most frequently discussed subjects in history education during the last two decades, namely how secondary school pupils use the World Wide Web for their learning activities. Based on two case studies in two Dutch schools, the book shows some ways in which the us…e of the Web has changed history education in at least three respects: first, the findings of the two case studies show that the Web has a huge potential to turn the history class - previously described as boring and too abstract - into a livelier and more attractive environment, where concepts, events, phenomena and processes of the past almost always have textual and/or [audio]visual representations; second, strong indications were observed showing that the Web fosters historical understanding, not only by triggering thinking processes that take pupils beyond the shown contents, but also by prompting them to evaluate sources and sample relevant fragments for their assignments; third, the Web has brought into history education sources that were previously excluded, including those described as unconventional. This book shows, among other things, that convergence is underway on both the user side - since pupils use both conventional and unconventional online sources - and the content-production side, where heritage institutions are increasingly getting involved in unconventional platforms like Wikipedia. The latter emerged from the two case studies as the most popular source of historical information, while the websites of heritage institutions tended to appear at the bottom of the list of references. Unlike personal sites, which also scored better, heritage sites face some obstacles, including the still dominant desire to preserve institutions' identity and uniqueness, conservatism - which often prevents the redefinition of collection management tasks - and the tax-payers' money dilemma. For that reason, collections are not hyperlinked and, therefore, remain invisible and not easy to find online.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the past few years the image of tender procedures in which Dutch public clients selected an architect has been dominated by distressing newspaper headlines. Architects fear that the current tender culture will harm the quality of our built environment due to a potential lack of diversity,…creativity and innovation in architectural design. Clients often allow legal requirements to overrule their actual wishes. The current practice of architect selection by European public clients has its roots in three distinct systems: 1) tendering for services and works, 2) the selective search to identify a suitable architect or design team, and 3) the architectural competition. It is these diverse roots of the selection process that appear to cause conflicts between the legal rationality of procurement and the psychological rationality of public decision making. This PhD research addresses the origin of these problems as currently experienced by public commissioning clients in architect selection and proposes pragmatic implications for future practice. It is therefore of interest for commissioning clients, management consultants, policy makers and legal advisors but also for designers and researchers in the field of architecture and decision making. Based on four empirical cases the author shows that during architect selection the rational legal requirements clash with the psychological process of decision making. Decision makers only start to make sense of the proposed designs once they are confronted with the alternatives. It is therefore almost impossible for clients to design a selection procedure and announce the criteria and weighing factors up front, as required by procurement law. The scientific underpinning of the findings is found in four theoretical perspectives on value judgements in design and the latest decision theories in which emotion, intuition, and expertise play prominent roles. In the conclusions five sensemaking processes are distinguished and several underlying situational characteristics are identified that influence the selection process, such as complexity, uncertainty and decision support. The thesis proposes fifteen factors for a successful design of a tender procedure to select an architect. It also offers recommendations for change of the current Dutch practice.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Barrows, as burial markers, are ubiquitous throughout North-Western Europe. In some regions dense concentrations of monuments form peculiar configurations such as long alignments while in others they are spread out extensively, dotting vast areas with hundreds of mounds. These vast barrow lan…dscapes came about through thousands of years of additions by several successive prehistoric and historic communities. Yet little is known about how these landscapes developed and came about. That is what this research set out to do. By unravelling the histories of specific barrow landscapes in the Low Countries, several distinct activity phases of intense barrow construction could be recognised. Each of these phases contributed in a particular fashion to how the barrow landscape developed and reveals shifting attitudes to these landscape monuments. By creating new monuments in a specific place and in a particular fashion, prehistoric communities purposefully transformed the form and shape of the barrow landscape. Using several GIS-techniques such as a skyline-analysis, this research was able to demonstrate how each barrow then took up a specific (and different) position within such a social landscape. While the majority of the barrows were only visible from relatively close by, specific monuments took up a dominating position, cresting the horizon, and they were visible from much further away. It was argued that these burial mounds remained important landscape monuments on the purple heathlands. They continued to attract attention, and by their visibility ensured to endure in the collective memory of the communities shaping themselves around these monuments.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Engendering objects explores social and cultural dynamics among Maisin people in Collingwood Bay (Papua New Guinea) through the lens of material culture. Focusing upon the visually stimulating decorated barkcloths that are used as male and female garments, gifts, and commodities, it explores…the relationships between these cloths and Maisin people. The main question is how barkcloth, as an object made by women, engenders people's identities, such as gender, personhood, clan and tribe, through its manufacturing and use. This book describes in detail how barkcloth (tapa) not only visualizes and expresses, but also materializes and defines, people's multiple identities. By 'following the object' and how it is made and used in the performance of life-cycle rituals, in exchanges and in church festivities, this interaction between people and things, and how they are mutually constituted, becomes visible. How are women's bodies and minds linked with the production of barkcloth How do cloths produced by women both establish and contest clan identity In what ways is the commodification of barkcloth related to gender dynamics Barkcloth and its associated designs show how gender ideologies and the socio-material constructions of identity are performed and, as such, developed, established and contested. The narratives of both men and women reveal the ways in which barkcloth provides a link with the past and dreams for the future. The author argues that the cloths and their designs embody dynamics of Maisin culture and in particular of Maisin gender relations. In contributing to the current debates on the anthropology of 'art', this study offers an alternative way of understanding the significance of an object, like decorated barkcloth, in shaping and defining people's identities within a local colonial and postcolonial setting of Papua New Guinea. 'Engendering Objects is among the most comprehensive and innovative new works emerging from Melanesia examining the intimate connections between material culture, cultural identity and gendered personhood. Drawing upon extensive ethnographic fieldwork, archival research and examination of museum collections, Anna-Karina Hermkens traces the enduring yet innovative place of tapa (barkcloth) among the Maisin people. Written with warm compassion and immediacy, the book is a theoretically provocative, accessible and compelling portrait of changing life in a Papua New Guinean village society.' - John Barker, University of British Columbia 'This book makes a most welcome contribution to the study of the materiality by showing how gender is performed in the sensuous terms of clothing, food, and the exchange of objects. Anna-Karina Hermkens accomplishes this with enviable care and intellectual resources, and a prose and ethnography that make the book a pleasure to read.' - David Morgan, Duke University 'Anna-Karina Hermkens takes us to look at designs on bark cloth from Papua New Guinea through a magnifying glass. A fascinating perspective on material culture evolves. Beyond the art work we discover individuals - mainly women - painting their stories about who they and their beloved are as women and men, as traditional members of a clan, and also what they head for as strugglers in a new economy driven world.' - Christian Kaufmann, Honorary Research Associate, Sainsbury Reseach Unit, University of East Anglia, Norwich UK, former curator for Oceania at the Museum der Kulturen Basel.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The 21st-century media landscape is transforming how cultural heritage is perceived, practiced, and sustained. While media technologies accelerate global exchanges, tensions persist, if not deepen-between the obsolete and the innovative, local traditions and global narratives, and the past and an unc…ertain future. These challenges complicate efforts to sustain cultural heritage in inclusive, resilient, and ecologically attuned ways.This book examines how media technologies, environmental shifts, and transcultural exchanges are reshaping intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in contemporary China. Integrating historical, cultural, and technological perspectives, it challenges colonial and modernist biases that have marginalized shamanistic practices and critiques conventional notions of authenticity.Drawing on Actor-Network Theory, Entanglement Theory, Panpsychism, and Indigenous ontologies, it offers a fresh perspective on the interplay between human and non-human actors in heritage-making, repositioning 'animism' and 'shamanism' as interconnected systems that foster ecological stewardship, cultural resilience, and sustainable governance. It also interrogates UNESCO's heritage frameworks, highlighting both their potential and limitations in safeguarding shamanistic expressions.Through an interdisciplinary lens blending material-oriented media archaeology with socially conscious critical heritage studies, it interrogates how digital technologies-from animation and immersive storytelling to ICH nomination videos-mediate heritage and shape perceptions. It reveals how media acts as a cultural broker and a disruptive force, reinforcing or challenging marginalization and dominant narratives while fostering participatory, reflexive heritage-making. This approach reintroduces human agency into discussions of technology and sustainability, framing ICH safeguarding as a global niche construction project integral to achieving resilient and sustainable futures.By bridging cultural tradition and media innovation, it provides a timely roadmap for researchers, policymakers, and heritage and media practitioners navigating the complexities of heritage safeguarding, digital transformation, and sustainability. It advocates for participatory and interdisciplinary approaches that value local knowledge and nuance, cultural diversity, and adaptive strategies in an era of rapid socio-technological transformation.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The scarcity of water is a major problem in many parts of the Near East today and has been so in the past. To survive in such a region people should be able to structurally attain more water than rainfall alone can supply. The archaeology of this area should not only identify when people inha…bited such a region and what the character of this habitation was, but also how people were able to survive in such a region and why they chose to live there in the first place. In this book these questions have been studied for the Zerqa Triangle; a region in the middle Jordan Valley around Tell Deir 'Alla (Jordan). By means of a detailed pedestrian archaeological survey the intensity of habitation of the region from the Neolithic to early modern periods is investigated. Efforts have been undertaken to reconstruct the agricultural practices in the various periods and simultaneously the means by which the different communities were able to practice agriculture; in other words, how did they irrigate the land By focussing on the different social responses of communities conclusions have been drawn on how and why people managed to create a living in this arid, but potentially very fertile region. This book not only contributes to the ongoing discussion of the archaeology of marginal areas, but also provides a huge amount of new data on the archaeology of the Jordan Valley, both in the form of newly discovered settlement sites from several different periods as well as remains from several more inconspicuous types of human activity present in the countryside.

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | St. Eustatius, a small island in the northeastern Lesser Antilles, was one of the busiest ports in the eighteenth-century Atlantic World. Contested between the Dutch, French, and English, the island attracted thousands of ships a year and became one…of the most cosmopolitan places in the New World. Moreover, the island played an important role in the American War of Independence (1775-1783), during which large quantities of arms, ammunition, and gunpowder were shipped to the fledgling United States through St. Eustatius. Relics of this turbulent past are found all over the island and in its surrounding waters. These include warehouses in the historic port district, fortifications all around the island, sugar plantations in the countryside, and a variety of underwater archaeological sites such as shipwrecks, anchorage areas, and docks. Through extensive archaeological and documentary research, this study aims to provide a detailed analysis of the maritime cultural landscape of St. Eustatius over the past four centuries. It focuses on bridging the gap between the marine and terrestrial worlds and demonstrates that in order to truly make sense of the complex interactions, events, and processes that shaped this maritime world, both land and sea need to be studied in relation to each other.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This PhD thesis discusses the practices of wealth depositing in the 1st-9th century AD eastern Baltic (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). Wealth deposits are one or more valued object/s that is/are hidden deliberately as an intended separate deposition in a selected place in a specific, distinguish…able manner. Wealth depositing is regarded as an important cultural practice which relates to and derives from various past social phenomena and changes respectively in spatial and temporal terms. It is emphasised that wealth deposits should be analysed as a cohesive corpus of material, regardless of specific artefact types, functional groups, production material, environment of concealment, and most importantly without any predetermined interpretation categorisations. The dissertation presents different patterned practices of concealing valuables in the 1st-9th century AD eastern Baltic through a detailed contextual analysis of their main material characteristics: artefacts, their assemblages and appearance, environment of concealment, chronology and location in the cultural landscape. The study demonstrates how depositional practices change in time and space, and analyses relations between specific depositional practices and developments on a wider social scale. A comparative analysis of wealth deposits and important social changes in contemporary society based on overall archaeological material is presented. The key regional and cross-regional practices of wealth depositing in the 1st-9th century AD eastern Baltic are identified. Additionally, further comparisons are drawn between depositional practices in the eastern Baltic and other parts of the Baltic Sea region, especially Scandinavia. This thesis contributes to the discussions of concepts of value and depositional practices in a long-term and cross-regional perspective. A further aim is to look beyond the problematic 'why '-questions posed in the studies of wealth deposits, and move instead to more comprehensible questions of 'how ': how do depositional practices change in time and space, and how are these processes related to developments in a broader social context The book contains a catalogue of all the 1st-9th century AD Eastern Baltic deposits analysed in the dissertation with descriptions of objects, environments of concealment, find circumstances, illustrations/photos and further references.

They are as diverse and plentiful as the many communities which form the cores of their organizations and the hearts of their missions. These profoundl…y social museums adopt participatory practices and embark on community engagement processes in order to embed themselves firmly in contemporary Caribbean societies. This dissertation presents a mosaic of 195 Caribbean museums and the results of a unique research project based on a mixed methods approach. It begins with a macro view of Caribbean museums and their participatory practices. This part of the study consisted of a regional museum survey in which the museum visit was approached as an event, leading to the creation of an extensive database of Caribbean museums and their participatory practices. The dissertation continues by zooming in to a micro level to explore the dynamics of community engagement processes in two case studies. The Kalinago Barana Autê in Dominica shows the ongoing process of an indigenous grassroots initiative that became a governmentally owned but locally managed museum. The Bengal to Barbados exhibition in Barbados reveals the complex dynamics of the beginnings of a co-curation project between a heterogeneous migrant community and a national museum. By giving voice to grassroots museums, this dissertation shifts the museological discussion away from the usual suspects to consider topics such as the ephemeral museum. By combining a regional museum survey with case studies, it provides both overarching and close-up views of this mosaic. From ecomuseums and object donations, to multi-vocality and participatory styles, and the need for negotiation and representativity, the study reveals a multitude of facets of the social museum in the Caribbean. This book is a unique resource for museologists around the world, especially those interested in community engagement. It is particularly valuable for those working in, with, or on museums in the Caribbean. Contents 1. Introduction 2. Theoretical Framework 3. Methodological Framework 4.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The 21st-century media landscape is transforming how cultural heritage is perceived, practiced, and sustained. While media technologies accelerate global exchanges, tensions persist, if not deepen-between the obsolete and the innovative, local traditions and global narratives, and the past and an unc…ertain future. These challenges complicate efforts to sustain cultural heritage in inclusive, resilient, and ecologically attuned ways.This book examines how media technologies, environmental shifts, and transcultural exchanges are reshaping intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in contemporary China. Integrating historical, cultural, and technological perspectives, it challenges colonial and modernist biases that have marginalized shamanistic practices and critiques conventional notions of authenticity.Drawing on Actor-Network Theory, Entanglement Theory, Panpsychism, and Indigenous ontologies, it offers a fresh perspective on the interplay between human and non-human actors in heritage-making, repositioning 'animism' and 'shamanism' as interconnected systems that foster ecological stewardship, cultural resilience, and sustainable governance. It also interrogates UNESCO's heritage frameworks, highlighting both their potential and limitations in safeguarding shamanistic expressions.Through an interdisciplinary lens blending material-oriented media archaeology with socially conscious critical heritage studies, it interrogates how digital technologies-from animation and immersive storytelling to ICH nomination videos-mediate heritage and shape perceptions. It reveals how media acts as a cultural broker and a disruptive force, reinforcing or challenging marginalization and dominant narratives while fostering participatory, reflexive heritage-making. This approach reintroduces human agency into discussions of technology and sustainability, framing ICH safeguarding as a global niche construction project integral to achieving resilient and sustainable futures.By bridging cultural tradition and media innovation, it provides a timely roadmap for researchers, policymakers, and heritage and media practitioners navigating the complexities of heritage safeguarding, digital transformation, and sustainability. It advocates for participatory and interdisciplinary approaches that value local knowledge and nuance, cultural diversity, and adaptive strategies in an era of rapid socio-technological transformation. 258 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Cet ouvrage explore la transformation du paysage culturel de la région de Fort-Liberté sur le long terme. Il se base sur les traces de différents groupes sociaux façonnant le paysage culturel du lieu sur une longue période chronologique. Cette région renferme un patrimoine archéologique exceptionnel,… sous la forme de vestiges amérindiens, de traces des premières villes coloniales espagnoles et d'habitations coloniales françaises. Habitée depuis environ l'an 3000 av. J.-C., cette région a connu de profondes mutations au fil du temps, en particulier lors de l'invasion coloniale de 1492, qui a entraîné l'effondrement des communautés amérindiennes.Les fondements théoriques et méthodologiques de cette étude sont ancrés dans l'archéologie du paysage et utilisent des approches multidisciplinaires et diachroniques pour combiner les données archéologiques, ethnographiques et historiques. Suivant une approche de la biographie du paysage, l'étude amène à une redéfinition de la vision traditionnelle du village amérindien car elle envisage de considérer le village plutôt comme une agglomération de sites, aux dépens d'un seul site caractérisé par son extension. L'invasion coloniale de 1492 a engendré une dynamique d'implantations continues et intensives amenant à impacter drastiquement la région Fort-Liberté. La transformation coloniale du paysage a pris une forme radicale et dramatique, conduisant à l'effondrement des valeurs culturelles politiques, et économiques des premiers habitants de l'île. Le paysage colonial espagnol, fortement marqué par des implantations urbaines à petite échelle et de l'élevage de bétail, celui des Français constitue une forme de réorganisation et de réaménagement de l'espace qui se manifeste par les habitations coloniales à grande échelle et l'introduction de nouvelles fonctions et formes d'activités sociales, économiques et politiques.La biographie du paysage suggère que les périodes historiques sont considérées comme des manifestations qui se sont connectées les unes aux autres, et non pas comme des événements isolés. Les sites archéologiques dispersés dans l'environnement naturel expriment l'idée d'un palimpseste complexe de l'histoire de la région.ContentsChapitre 1 IntroductionChapitre 2 Contexte géographique et culturelChapitre 3 Approcher le paysageChapitre 4 Collecte des donnéesChapitre 5 Paysage archéologique des établissements amérindiensChapitre 6 Paysage archéologique des établissements coloniauxChapitre 7 La Biographie d'un paysage ou les transformations à long termeChapitre 8 Conclusion générale et pistes pour de nouvelles recherchesBibliographieAnnexeRésuméSummarySamenvattingRemerciementsCurriculum 246 pp. Französisch.
