Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This edited volume explores how (what is today) Scotland can be compared with, contrasted to, or was connected with other parts of Early Medieval Europe. Far from a 'dark age', Early Medieval Scotland (AD 300-900) was a crucible of different languages and cultures, the world of the Picts, Scots, Britons and Anglo-Saxons. Though long regarded as somehow peripheral to continental Europe, people in Early Medieval Scotland had mastered complex technologies and were part of sophisticated intellectual networks. This cross-disciplinary volume includes contributions focussing on archaeology, artefacts, art-history and history, and considers themes that connect Scotland with key processes and phenomena happening elsewhere in Europe. Topics explored include the transition from Iron Age to Early Medieval societies and the development of secular power centres, the Early Medieval intervention in prehistoric landscapes, and the management of resources necessary to build kingdoms.ContentsIntroductionAlice BlackwellPeripheral vision: Scotland in Early Medieval EuropeEwan Campbell'A bright crowd of chancels': whither early church archaeology in Scotland Sally M FosterThe 5-6th century Early Medieval Pictish power centre at Rhynie, north-east Scotland, and its European contextMeggen Gondek & Gordon NobleNorrie's Law, Gaulcross and beyond: widening the context of hacksilver hoarding in ScotlandAlice Blackwell & Martin GoldbergAn Early Medieval and prehistoric nexus: the Strathearn Environs and Royal Forteviot projectEwan Campbell, Stephen Driscoll, Meggen Gondek & Adrian MaldonadoPolitical transition at Portmahomack: the European contextMartin CarverEarly Medieval burial in European context: log coffins in ScotlandAdrian MaldonadoMedieval European land assessment, Fortriu, and the dabhachAlasdair RossIdeas of origins and ethnicity in Early Medieval ScotlandNicholas Evans 160 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The naos AM 107 of the Museum of Antiquities in Leiden was made by order of king Amasis in the 6th century BC, a period that saw an intense production of monolithic shrines. Despite its unimpressive dimensions, the naos of Leiden stands out for its originality. What is particularly interesting about this monument is that its distinctiveness is strictly connected to the nature of its recipient. Amasis dedicated the naos to Osiris Hemag, one of the most important and enigmatic Osirian forms of the first millennium BC. Osiris Hemag represents Osiris at a crucial moment of his existence: his reawakening. It was precisely this aspect of the god that strongly influenced both the shape and the decoration of the naos, creating a unique effect. Indeed, this is the only Egyptian naos showing on its surfaces groups of guardian-deities who had the task to protect the body of Osiris and to assist him in his rebirth and rejuvenation.This naos is not only a shrine housing a statue of Osiris Hemag, but also a monument conveying a new definition of the god and new ideas concerning his rebirth.ContentsPREFACELIST OF FIGURESABBREVIATIONSBIBLIOGRAPHY I NAOS AM 107: FROM EGYPT TO LEIDENII DESCRIPTION OF THE NAOS1.The architecture2.The decoration3.Some palaeographic and stylistic observationsIII THE NAOI OF AMASIS1.The naoi2.The damnatio memoriae3.The decorations4.The recipients: Osiris and the othersIV THE ROLE OF THE NAOS1.The recipient of the naos: Osiris Hemag2.The dedicatory text3.Great gods, small gods: divine beings in action4.Naoi at Kom el-AhmarIndices1 Deities2 Deities (in transliteration)3 Royal names4 Egyptian personal names5 Names of buildings and places6 Museum Collections 178 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Early Settlers of the Insular Caribbean: Dearchaizing the Archaic offers a comprehensive coverage of the most recent advances in interdisciplinary research on the early human settling of the Caribbean islands. It covers the time span of the so-called Archaic Age and focuses on the Middle to Late Holocene period which - depending on specific case studies discussed in this volume - could range between 6000 BC and AD 1000. A similar approach to the early settlers of the Caribbean islands has never been published in one volume, impeding the realization of a holistic view on indigenous peoples' settling, subsistence, movements, and interactions in this vast and naturally diversified macroregion.Delivered by a panel of international experts, this book provides recent and new data in the fields of archaeology, collection studies, palaeobotany, geomorphology, paleoclimate and bioarchaeology that challenge currently existing perspectives on early human settlement patterns, subsistence strategies, migration routes and mobility and exchange. This publication compiles new approaches to 'old' data and museum collections, presents the results of starch grain analysis, paleocoring, seascape modelling, and network analysis. Moreover, it features newer published data from the islands such as Margarita and Aruba. All the above-mentioned data compiled in one volume fills the gap in scholarly literature, transforms some of the interpretations in vogue and enables the integration of the first settlers of the insular Caribbean into the larger Pan-American perspective. This book not only provides scholars and students with compelling new and interdisciplinary perspectives on the Early Settlers of the Insular Caribbean. It is also of interest to unspecialized readers as it discusses subjects related to archaeology, anthropology, and - broadly speaking - to the intersections between humanities and social and environmental sciences, which are of great interest to the present-day general public. 338 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Depuis 2001, des recherches archéologiques sont menées dans l'archipel de Molène. Ce secteur s'avère particulièrement riche en vestiges du Néolithique et de l'Age du Bronze. Une concentration exceptionnelle de monuments mégalithiques y a été mise en évidence.Plusieurs habitats sont attestés par la présence de dépotoirs domestiques. A la pointe de Beg ar Loued (île Molène), l'un de ses amas coquilliers fit l'objet d'un premier sondage en 2003 marquant le début d'une série de campagnes de fouilles. Dès la deuxième année, celle-ci prit un tournant décisif avec la reconnaissance des premiers murs en pierres sèches, correspondant à un bâtiment conservé sous la dune. Pendant près d'une décennie, ce site fit l'objet de fouilles par une équipe interdisciplinaire. Les données obtenues par l'étude de l'habitat renseignent sur la chronologie des différentes occupations du site et permettent de documenter la transition IIIe-IIe millénaire avant notre ère, fourchette chronologique encore très mal connue dans la moitié nord de la France.Outre l'apport d'une chronologie relative, l'approche architecturale donne une meilleure compréhension des choix ayant présidé aux différentes phases de construction du bâtiment occupé pendant plus de trois siècles. Les éléments de la culture matérielle (céramique, lithique, métallurgie) viennent aussi soulever le voile sur une période essentiellement connue en Bretagne à travers les monuments funéraires.Pour la première fois dans cette région, grâce à la conservation des vestiges organiques, il est permis d'esquisser l'économie (élevage, agriculture pêche, collecte des coquillages, etc.) des hommes ayant occupé les rivages de la mer d'Iroise. Leur mode de vie suggère une communauté sédentaire à économie vivrière, exploitant l'ensemble des ressources insulaires sans pour autant être coupée du continent (style céramique, métallurgie).Afin de mieux comprendre l'évolution globale de cet environnement insulaire, de nouvelles recherches ont été menées sur les variations du niveau marin corrélées à l'étude du paysage végétal, de la géomorphologie, de la géologie et de la faune. 734 pp. Französisch.
