Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cet ouvrage est la traduction d'Archaeology and Celtic Myth, livre paru à Dublin en 2014. La littérature médiévale irlandaise constitue de loin le plus vaste corpus de textes rédigés en langue vernaculaire dont dispose l'Europe occidentale. Bien que composée entre le VIIe et le XIIe siècle de notre ère, cette littérature véhicule des éléments provenant de la mythologie celtique préchrétienne. Elle permet ainsi d'entrevoir certaines traditions et croyances fort anciennes qui avaient cours dans l'Europe préhistorique.Les références mythologiques présentes dans ces textes, juxtaposées aux traces matérielles subsistant dans divers sites archéologiques majeurs, tels que Navan (comté d'Armagh), Tara (comté de Meath) et Newgrange dans la vallée de la Boyne, met en lumière certains thèmes et figures privilégiés. Parmi les plus significatifs sont le caractère sacré de la royauté, la notion de la souveraineté octroyée par une déesse, la thématique de la cosmologie solaire, et des tentatives pour rendre compte d'un Autre Monde.L'importance de ces concepts est soulignée par leur survie textuelle. Leur analyse offre la possibilité d'approcher de plus près l'organisation et la pensée d'un monde prélittéraire. On peut considérer, par exemple, que l'institution de la royauté sacrée devrait être prise en compte dans tout débat sur la nature des différentes structures socio-politiques de l'Europe d'alors, tandis que symbolisme solaire, rituels équins, rites de boisson, et divers autres indices nous révèlent la préoccupation de nos ancêtres concernant l'Autre Monde, avec leur désir de comprendre la mort et de concevoir une vie au-delà. 206 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Throughout the millennia and all over the world people have been killed by others, not only in wars and as a result of murders, but also in a ritualised way, often called human sacrifice. Much has been written about this, and research and discussion about ritual killing continue. This book offers contributions to this on-going discussion, by a re-evaluation of the term human sacrifice, arguing that not all forms of ritual killing can be considered to be sacrificial. Experts from different disciplines present new insights into the subject of ritual homicide in various regions of the ancient world. Various aspects of the phenomenon are discussed, such as offering humans to gods, making servants accompany their masters into the hereafter, and ritual killing in connection with execution of criminals and captives. While in some cultures ritual killing was accepted, others would consider it a symptom of barbarism and would use it as a reason or pretext for hostility, war, or genocide. Thus the Romans justified the violence against Carthage partly because of this, early Christians were accused of infanticide, while in turn they accused Jews of the same. The Spanish conquistadores used the argument to justify the genocide on indigenous Americans. The last chapter concerns one of the last surviving forms of ritual killing in recent history: headhunting among the Asmat. Contents Human sacrifice and ritual killing, defining the field Karel C. Innemée Ritual killing of humans in ancient Mesopotamia Theo Krispijn Ritual Homicide in ancient Egypt Jacobus van Dijk Sacrifice and ritual killing of humans in the Etruscan world Bouke van der Meer Phoenician synthesis: patterns of human sacrifice and problems with ritual killing Brien Garnand Human sacrifice from ancient Israel to early Christianity Karel C. Innemée Deconstructing the Aztec human sacrifice Maarten Jansen Death and new life: an intimate relationship Pieter ter Keurs Bibliography List of authorsBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 158 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Broomcorn/common/proso millet (Panicum miliaceum) is a cereal crop that originated in East Asia and was transferred westward to Europe, where it was introduced in the mid-2nd millennium BCE, at the height of the Bronze Age. Archaeobotanists from the Collaborative Research Centre 1266, supported by many colleagues, conducted a large-scale programme of radiocarbon dating of millet grains from prehistoric Europe. They discovered that the spread of this crop on the continent happened quickly, extending far and wide. What do we know about the (pre)history of this crop in Europe The workshop organised by the CRC 1266 at Kiel University in 2019 encouraged the discussion on the circumstances and consequences of early broomcorn millet cultivation in Europe. This book brings together many of the workshop papers and reflects the diverse topics and research areas covered. The contributions inform us on the range of cultivated and collected plants from the time before and after the start of millet cultivation in Europe; present the cultural setting in which millet arrived; discuss possible reasons driving the acceptance of this innovation; and reconstruct possible uses of millet and the methods of its cultivation, processing and storage. Not just the plant economy, but also the animal economy is represented, since millet was and is grown for both humans and animals. Techniques used to trace millet archaeologically are continually being developed or improved, and this book describes the application of a few of them. This broad-based compilation of papers adds another layer to the dynamic picture of the Bronze Age and the interconnected continent. It also illustrates the complexity of the research on the diffusion of agricultural innovations.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 328 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Many new results on Middle and Late Bronze Age Laconia are presented in this volume, stemming from recent excavations by the Greek Archaeological Service as well as ongoing excavations, surveys and material studies by foreign schools and individual scholars. Among discussed settlements are the sites of Pellana, Palaiopyrgi, Geraki, Pavlopetri and Vrysika and also the island Kythera. The newly discovered palatial site at Ayios Vasileios is also elaborately discussed in various papers, including discussions of its North Cemetery, early Mycenaean pottery deposits, the West Stoa, and an outline of the habitation history and size of Ayios Vasileios compared to other palatial settlements. More than 25 years have passed since the publication of a paper by Oliver Dickinson in which he wrote about central Late Helladic Laconia that he had an impression of ¿competing and unstable principalities in the early period and perhaps centrifugal tendencies¿. In this volume we explore to what extent this impression is still justified. Especially considering the recent discovery of a palatial site at Ayios Vasileios. Indeed, this volume shows that in the past decades much has happened in Laconia with respect to what we know about the Bronze Age. We are therefore extra pleased that Oliver Dickinson has agreed to write an Afterword to this volume. Written by academics and those working in the fields of Bronze Age Greece, Laconia, ceramic analyses, architecture, survey, and photogrammetry this volume will be invaluable to students and practitioners with similar interests.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 260 pp. Englisch.

Bien que composée entre le VIIe et le XIIe siècle de notre ère, cette littérature véhicule des éléments provenant de la mythologie celtique préchrétienne.

Les références mythologiques présentes dans ces textes, juxtaposées aux traces matérielles subsistant dans divers sites archéologiques majeurs, tels que Navan (comté d¿Armagh), Tara (comté de Meath) et Newgrange dans la vallée de la Boyne, met en lumière certains thèmes et figures privilégiés. Parmi les plus significatifs sont le caractère sacré de la royauté, la notion de la souveraineté octroyée par une déesse, la thématique de la cosmologie solaire, et des tentatives pour rendre compte d¿un Autre Monde. L¿importance de ces concepts est soulignée par leur survie textuelle. Leur analyse offre la possibilité d¿approcher de plus près l¿organisation et la pensée d¿un monde prélittéraire. On peut considérer, par exemple, que l¿institution de la royauté sacrée devrait être prise en compte dans tout débat sur la nature des différentes structures socio-politiques de l¿Europe d¿alors, tandis que symbolisme solaire, rituels équins, rites de boisson, et divers autres indices nous révèlent la préoccupation de nos ancêtres concernant l¿Autre Monde, avec leur désir de comprendre la mort et de concevoir une vie au-delà.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 206 pp. Französisch.
