Archaeologies of Waste

Encounters with the Unwanted Edited by Daniel Sosna and Lenka Brunclíková

Encounters with the unwanted

Challenges traditional archaeological approaches that take advantage of refuse to infer past behaviour.

Danial Sosna and Lenka Brunclikova

Edited by

Danial Sosna and Lenka Brunclikova

Waste represents a category of ‘things’, which is familiar and ubiquitous but rarely reflected in archaeological and cultural studies. The ambiguity of waste challenges traditional archaeological approaches that take advantage of refuse to infer past behaviour. Recent developments in research in the social sciences and humanities indicate that waste offers many more dimensions for exploration. This volume covers topics ranging from the relationship between waste and identity in early agricultural settlements to the perception of contemporary nuclear waste. The book is structured into three sections that explore the relationship between waste and three domains of interest: value, social differentiation, and space.

Care in the Past

Archaeological and Interdisciplinary Perspectives Edited by Lindsay Powell, William Southwell-Wright and Rebecca Gowland

Archaeological Method & Theory

Archaeologies of Waste

Archaeologies of waste

Considers how we might recognise the provision of care in past societies in archaeological contexts.

From the earliest societies, humans have faced choices regarding how people in positions of dependency are to be treated. These 12 papers examine the topic of care in past societies and specifically how we might recognise the provision of care in archaeological contexts. The topic of ‘care’ is examined through three different strands: the provision of care throughout the life course; care-giving and attitudes towards impairment and disability in prehistoric and historic contexts, and the role of animals as both recipients of care and as tools for its provision.

Underground Archaeology

Studies on Human Bones and Artefacts from Ireland’s Caves Edited by Marion Dowd Presents new perspectives on the use and perception of caves at different times in the past, from the Early Mesolithic through to post-medieval time.

Until the present day, human bones and artefacts recovered from Irish caves, principally between 1870 and 1990 had either been completely neglected or had not been examined with modern techniques. The 15 expert contributions presented here shine a light on the use and perception of caves at different times in the past, from the Early Mesolithic through to post-medieval times.

Sagaholm

North European Bronze Age Rock Art and Burial Ritual

By Joakim Goldhahn Applies new theoretical approach to the interpretaion of a well-known group of rock art engravings from a Middle Bronze Age burial context.

This major new study by one of Europe’s leading prehistorians presents and discusses a series of rock art engravings from a Bronze Age barrow in Ljungarum parish, Jönköping Län, situated in southern Sweden. Sagaholm contains the largest group of rock engravings discovered in a burial context in northern Europe. Joakim Goldhahn addresses a number of aspects of the use of rock engravings in burial rituals during the Middle Bronze Age combining the antiquarian and scientific history of this extraordinary find.

An Archaeology of Prehistoric bodies and Embodied Identities in the Eastern Mediterranean Edited by Maria Mina, Sevi Triantaphyllou and Yiannis Papadatos

An Archaeology of

PREHISTORIC BODIES & EMBODIED IDENTITIES in the Eastern Mediterranean

Wide geographical and chronological range within the prehistory of the Aegean, Cyprus and the Near East.

In the long tradition of the archaeology of the eastern Mediterranean, bodies have held a prominent role in the form of figurines, frescos, or skeletal remains.

Growing literature on the archaeology and anthropology of the body has raised awareness about the dynamic and multifaceted role of the body in the construction, performance and negotiation of social identity. Contributors discuss new and old evidence; they examine how bodies intersect with the material world, and explore the role of body-situated experiences in creating distinct social and other identities.

Massendinghaltung in der Archäologie

Der material turn und die Ur- und Frühgeschichte Edited by Kerstin P. Hofmann, Thomas Meier, Doreen Mölders and Stefan Schreiber This volume focuses on the problem of archaeolgical finds stockpiling in collections and the complex relationship between humans and objects.

These 17 articles were contributions to a 2013 conference in Berlin organised by the German Association for Theories in Archaeology. Essays in the first part treat the virulent problem of objects stockpiling in collections. The history as well as the psychology of collecting are addressed. Contributions in the second part deal with the established empirical-antiquarian research in the light of the material turn and also show the complexity of the relationship between humans and objects. This volume discusses current attempts at the understanding of objects in other disciplines from an archaeological perspective.

Between and Beyond the Monuments

Prehistoric activity on the downlands south-east of Amesbury

By Andrew B. Powell and By Alistair J. Barclay This book reports on the prehistoric archaeology revealed by investigations of a large area of Chalk downland south-east of Amesbury.

The present volume covers the wider prehistoric remains from the site, describing all features of Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age date.

The prehistoric monuments and extensive sequence of burials are placed in their wider landscape context, and the development, chronology and variability of prehistoric ritual and mortuary practices is explored. Collectively, they reveal the development and transformation of a landscape rich in ritual, mortuary and settlement features during an almost continuous period of over 3000 years.

Social Change in Aegean Prehistory Edited by Corien Wiersma and Sofia Voutsaki Explains the processes of social and economic change from the Early Bronze Age III to the Late Bronze Age I period in the southern Aegean, using pottery, burials and settlement evidence.

This volume brings together papers that discuss social change. The main focus is on the Early Helladic III to Late Helladic I period in southern Greece, but also touches upon the surrounding islands. This specific timeframe enables us to consider how mainland societies recovered from a ‘crisis’ and how they eventually developed into the differentiated, culturally receptive and competitive social formations of the early Mycenaean period.

Perspectives on the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in Ostergotland, Eastern Middle Sweden

By Tom Carlsson and Annika Helander The empirical martial consists of newly excavated Mesolithic and Neolithic sites in Ostergotland in Sweden. The study proves that the process of change from foraging to farming in this area can be regarded as alterations in the Mesolithic local communities and that the introduction of farming and animal husbandry was an apparent rather undramatic event.

The Dyer’s Handbook

Memoirs of an 18th Century Master Colourist

By Dominique Cardon Contains information allowing the reproduction of colours authentic to the 18th century.

The Dyer’s Handbook concerns a unique manuscript from the eighteenth century; a dyers memoirs from Languedoc, containing recipes for dyes with corresponding colour samples. It is an exceptional document, hugely rare and of great significance not only to textile historians but dyers and colourists today, as thanks to the information in the manuscript the colours can be reproduced exactly, with the same ingredients, or reproduced using modern techniques by matching the colour samples. To the English translation of the text, together with facsimile pages reproduced in colour from the original manuscript, are added essays meant to situate it in its historical, economic and technological contexts.

Textile Production in Classical Athens

Textile technology is older than any other ancient craft and is an instance of cognitive archaeology that provides vital information about society. In Textile Production in Classical Athens, Stella Spantidaki provides the first synthesis of the available evidence from textual, iconographic and archaeological sources on textile production in 5th and 4th century BC Athens, employing an interdisciplinary perspective that sets the frame for future research in the field. As such this study is of special importance for textile specialists, ancient history scholars, historians of technology and students and will lead to a better understanding of ancient Greek textile production and Classical Athenian society.

Dress and Society

Contributions from Archaeology Edited by Toby F. Martin and Rosie Weetch Illustrates how dress constitutes an important aspect of the expression of group identities.

Dress and Society illustrates the range of current archaeological approaches to dress using a number of case studies drawn from prehistoric to postmedieval Europe. Individually, each chapter makes a strong contribution in its own field whether through the discussion of new evidence or new approaches to classic material. Presenting the eight papers together creates a strong argument for a theoretically informed and integrated approach to dress as a specific category of archaeological evidence, emphasising that the study of dress not only draws openly on other disciplines, but is also a sub-discipline in its own right.

Textiles in Greek Sanctuaries in the 7th to the 1st Centuries BC

By Cecilie Brøns Examines temple inventories in order to investigate the role of textiles and clothing accessories in Greek sanctuaries in terms of attire, identity and position of individuals within the ancient Greek religious system.

The aim of the present enquiry is to introduce textiles into the study of ancient Greek religion and thereby illuminate the roles textiles played in the performance of Greek ritual and their wider consequences. By merging the study of Greek religion and the study of textiles, the current study illustrates how textiles are, indeed, central materialisations of Greek cult, by reason of their capacity to accentuate and epitomize aspects of identity, spirituality, position in the religious system, by their forms as links between the maker, user, wearer, but also as key material agents in the performance of rituals and communication with the divine.

Nemea Valley Archaeological Project - Volume 2 Landscape Archaeology and the Medieval Countryside

By Effie Athanassopoulos

Two large sites and numerous smaller sites are discussed and illustrated.

This volume presents results of a regional survey conducted by the Nemea Valley Archaeological Project (NVAP). These sites reflect political and economic trends prevalent in medieval Greece at the time; thus they are contextualized by a discussion of the history of medieval Greece situated within the Annales school and by an evaluation of recent trends in landscape and Byzantine archaeology. This study contributes to a better understanding of the medieval and post-medieval countryside.

Excavations by Margaret and Tom Jones, 1965– 1978

By Sam Lucy and Christopher Evans With Rosemary Jefferies, Grahame Appleby and Chris Going This companion to Lives in Land (Oxbow Books 2015) is a comprehensive account of the Romano-British archaeology of the Mucking landscape.

Excavations at Mucking revealed extensive evidence for a multi-phase rural Romano-British settlement. After the mid-second century AD the Central Enclosure was largely abandoned and settlement shifted its focus more to the Southern Enclosure system. Some of the latest Roman pottery was strongly associated with the earliest Anglo-Saxon style pottery suggesting the existence of a terminal Roman settlement phase. Given recent revisions of the chronology for the early Anglo-Saxon period, this casts an intriguing light on the transition, with radical implications for understandings of this period.

AG R I C U LT U R E & INDUSTRY in South-Eastern Roman Britain

Agriculture and Industry in South-Eastern Roman Britain Edited by David Bird Major new assessment of our knowledge of the southern hinterland of Roman London.

The ancient counties surrounding the Weald in the SE corner of England have a strongly marked character of their own that has survived remarkably well in the face of ever-increasing population pressure. The area is, however, comparatively neglected in discussion of Roman Britain, where it is often subsumed into a generalised treatment of the ‘civilian’ part of Britannia that is based largely on other parts of the country. This book aims to redress the balance.

An overview of the environment and a consideration of themes relevant to the South-East as a whole accompany 14 papers covering the topics of rural settlement in each county.

An Iron Age and Early Romano-British Settlement

By Andrew Powell Excavations near a large Late Bronze Age ringwork at Queen Mary’s Hospital, Carshalton, in the London Borough of Sutton, revealed a settlement, including a roundhouse, a possible granary and a number of pits. Many of the pits contained deliberately deposited assemblages of animal bones, ceramics and metal objects. Sheep were the most common animal deposited closely followed by dog burials.

Death as a Process

The Archaeology of the Roman Funeral Edited by John Pearce and Jake Weekes Draws on large-scale fieldwork from across Europe, methodological advances and conceptual innovations to explore new insights from analysis of the Roman dead.

Death as a Process The Archaeology of the Roman Funeral Edited by John Pearce and Jake Weekes

The study of funerary practice has become one of the most exciting and rapidly developing areas of Roman archaeology. This volume draws on large-scale fieldwork from across Europe, methodological advances and conceptual innovations to explore new insights from analysis of the Roman dead, concerning both the rituals which saw them to their tombs and the communities who buried them. In particular the volume seeks to establish how the ritual sequence, from laying out the dead to the pyre and tomb, and from placing the dead in the earth to the return of the living to commemorate them, may be studied from archaeological evidence.

Homeric Epic

Important new multi-disciplinary exploration of the relationship between the Homeric epics and archaeology employing a variety of interdisciplinary approaches.

The relationship between the Homeric epics and archaeology has long suffered mixed fortunes, swinging between ‘fundamentalist’ attempts to use archaeology in order to demonstrate the essential historicity of the epics.

Archaeology and the Homeric Epic concentrates less on historicity in favour of exploring a variety of other ways in which we can use a multi-disciplinary approach to help offer insights into the epics.

Edited by Toni Naco del Hoyo, Roger Riera and Daniel Gómez-Castro Chapters seek to explore the meaning of catastrophes and topics such as collateral damage in war, earthquake recovery and breakdown of interstate relations.

For millennia catastrophes, whether those caused by nature, or by human violence, have impacted on historical societies. This volume deals with the actual meaning of catastrophes for the ancients, as well as how distorted our view of the remote past may be when applying modern terminology such as ‘humanitarian crises’ to events in the ancient world. The following chapters seek to explore such topics as collateral damage in war, earthquake recovery, breakdown of interstate relations, deportation, and postwar policies implemented on defeated societies.

Ancient Historiography on War and Empire Edited by Timothy Howe, Sabine Müller and Richard Stoneman Combines historial and literary evidence to explore context of history-writing in the ancient world and its focus on war and empire.

In the ancient Greek-speaking world, writing about the past meant balancing the reporting of facts with shaping and guiding the political interests and behaviours of the present. This book shows the ways in which the literary genre of writing history developed to guide empires through their wars.

Taking key events from various ‘empires’, the essays analyse the way events and the accounts of those events interact.

Small finds – the stuff of everyday life – offer archaeologists a glimpse into the material lives of the ancient Romans. These objects hold great promise for unravelling the ins and outs of daily life, especially for the social groups, activities, and regions for which few written sources exist. These 12 papers use small finds to reconstruct social lives and practices in the Roman Northwest provinces.

EURIPIDES

Edited with an introduction, translation and commentary by Chistopher Collard and James Morwood First English edition with commentary on one of Euripides’ finest texts for 125 years

Iphigenia at Aulis

Euripides died before completing this late masterpiece.

Over the centuries other hands have contributed to the text we now have but even so for the most part it shows Euripides at his finest. After Agamemnon has discovered that the Trojan War can only be fought if he sacrifices his daughter Iphigenia, we witness the break-down of the most dysfunctional family in Greek mythology. The characters are expressively and movingly etched; their confrontations are charted with unsurpassed dramatic power; their shifts and changes can take the breath away, especially Iphigenia’s transformation from desperate pleading to a heroic acceptance of her tragic destiny.

THE ART OF BEING A TIGER POEMS BY ANA LUÍSA AMARAL

Ana Luísa Amaral is considered to be one of the foremost Portuguese poets of her day. Her poems are resolutely female, but she casts her net very wide in terms of subject matter, from tender poems about her daughter to thoughts provoked by the theory of relativity and the larger themes of loneliness, loss, and death. The result is a poetry that takes equal pleasure in the physical and metaphysical, playing with words and ideas, a poetry that is always refreshingly oblique, taking the reader down unexpected intellectual and linguistic paths.

The Reykholt Church Excavations

By Gudrun Sveinbjarnardóttir Reseach from an excavation of an 11th century church in Iceland.

The excavations at Reykholt in Borgarfjörður, Western Iceland, are among the most extensive investigations at a historic site in the country in recent times. Reykholt became a chieftain’s and ecclesiastical centre shortly after it was established around AD 1000, and the church site, is the first of its kind to be subjected to a full excavation in Iceland. These investigations were included in a research plan drawn up in 1997 when, in the wake of the closure of the secondary school, which had been in operation at the site since c. 1930, a decision was made to undertake extensive archaeological investigations at the site.

Donner This new Oriental Institute series aims to publish a variety of scholarly works that offers a significant contribution to understanding the Near East between roughly 200 and 1000 CE. The papers in this first volume are derived from a conference entitled “Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians in the Umayyad State,”. The goal of the conference was to address a simple question: Just what role did non-Muslims play in the operations of the Umayyad state. The eight papers in this volume thus focus on non-Muslims who participated actively in the workings of the Umayyad government.

By Arie Boomert “This book fills a long-standing gap in the history of Trinidad & Tobago, and the southern Caribbean more generally.”

– Dr. Bridget Brereton This study relates the vicissitudes of the Amerindian peoples who lived or still inhabit the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, from the earliest occupants, to the present. Using archaeological, ethnohistorical and linguistic data, it discusses the social, political, economic, and religious development of indigenous society through the ages. The Amerindian struggle with European colonization is chronicled in detail, following centuries of independent existence during preColumbian times, as well as the survival of the current people of indigenous ancestry in the twin-island republic.

The Amerindians on Saba maintained extensive relationships with communities on neighbouring islands. The artefacts which have been found on Saba show these connections.

Lord Moyne’s 1936 Expedition to the Asmat

By Nick Stanley The photographs in this book provide a unique account of indigenous Asmat life and culture immediately prior to colonisation.

Lord Moyne was an Anglo-Irish politician, businessman and explorer. Unlike previous explorers of New Guinea, Lord Moyne was able to make sustained contact with several villages, bartering for objects that included shields and other carvings. Many of these objects were brought back to the British Museum as a means to address the severe lack of representation of South Papuan art in the collection. A series of photographs provide a unique account of indigenous Asmat life and culture at the time immediately prior to colonisation.

Relics and Reliquaries in Malta, 1600–1798

By Edgar Vella The volume is profusely illustrated with splendid photographs which have been purposely taken by master-photographer Joe. P. Borg.

The book discusses for the first time the rich tradition of relic veneration in Malta. It looks closely at the period between 1600, with the early documented translation of relics, and 1798, the end of the Knights’ period which has contributed greatly in the divulgation of the cult and veneration of relics. The author approaches the theme holistically, discussing not only their religious origins and significance but also the artistic value of the containers themselves.

By C.A. Petrie and P. Magee Provides specific insight into early imperialism in South Asia.

This third volume present the final reports of the exploration and excavations carried out by the Bannu Archaeological Project (1985-2001) in Pakistan.

The Bannu region provides specific insight into early imperialism in South Asia, as throughout this protracted period, it was able to maintain a distinctive regional identity in the face of recurring phases of imperial expansion and integration.

Ancient Effigy Mound Landscapes of Upper Midwestern North America

By Robert A. Birmingham First comprehensive overview of the effigy mound phenomenon of the Upper Midwest of North America c 700–1100 CE

Robert A. Birmingham

This book provides an overview of the effigy mound phenomenon of the Upper Midwest centred on southern Wisconsin. It documents the nature of these unique landscapes, describing the use of topography and natural features to create the ceremonial landscapes, and provides the interpretation that these were living landscapes in which ancestral animals and supernatural beings were ritually brought back to life at places where the spirits are best evoked in a continuous cycle of death and rebirth of the earth and its people.
