It's an unsettling remnant of colonialism, and its history runs deeply. Peter Der Manuelian's new book Walking Among Pharaohs offers readers an engaging account of the origins of contemporary Egyptology--and how it helps explain some of the debates we're reckoning with decades later. * InsideHook *\u003cbr\u003eWalking Among Pharaohs is a lively and uniquely informed biography of the most important American archaeologist of ancient Egypt and one of the founders of his discipline. Drawing expertly on a staggering range of sources, Peter Der Manuelian brings George Reisner, his ideas, and his times compellingly to life. * John Baines, University of Oxford *\u003cbr\u003eThe definitive biography of G.A. Reisner, who is generally regarded as one of the most important and influential Egyptologists and archaeologists of his day. The story flows with no punches pulled, revealing Reisner in intimate detail, warts and all. A must read for anyone interested in the early days of American Egyptology. * Eric Cline, author of 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed *\u003cbr\u003ePeter Der Manuelian's Walking Among Pharaohs is a thorough examination of the life, career, and legacy of one of the most influential Egyptologists of his era, George Reisner. Presenting Reisner's legacy in all of its complexity—including the colonialist and the racist elements of his work—highlights the indelible mark he left on the field, and how he shaped it for future generations. Walking Among Pharaohs is a worthy contribution to our understanding of the history of Egyptology. * Kathlyn M. Cooney, University of California, Los Angeles *\u003cbr\u003eThis is an amazingly rich biography of George Reisner, a giant among archaeologists working in the Nile Valley. It's also a powerful reflection on archaeology's many meanings, from celebration of ancient cultures to colonial appropriation. * Geoff Emberling, University of Michigan *\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Reisner has long been one of the most influential but least known archaeologists from the 'golden age' of Egyptology. Manuelian has finally done Reisner justice, bringing his long life, extraordinary career, and contested legacy into the spotlight of critical enquiry. Walking Among Pharaohs is a prodigious work of scholarship. * Toby Wilkinson, author of A World Beneath the Sands: The Golden Age of Egyptology *\u003cbr\u003e[Manuelian] is the ideal author for this authoritative first biography of Reisner. It is an essential addition to any Egyptological library, bringing to light the work and accomplishments of Reisner in Egypt and Nubia during the 'golden age' of Egyptology. The extensive, meticulous notes and bibliography are indispensable. * Ancient Egypt Magazine *\u003cbr\u003eWith this opus magnum (in every sense of the word), Peter Der Manuelian has completed a remarkable achievement, crowning more than twenty years of research... The author is indeed to be commended for truly mastering the 'staggering range of sources'...and the 'thorough examination'-at times painstakingly so-of the complexities of Reisner's biography, addressing the manifold issues of 'colonial appropriation' and 'racism'. * Orientalistische Literaturzeitung *\u003cbr\u003eEvery chapter contains some gem about the history of Egyptology.... This book will almost certainly remain the definitive biography of Reisner.

Particular highlights of its sequence are a cremation burial ground and pyre site of the 18th–16th centuries BC and a row of three Late Bronze Age sunken-floored roundhouses constructed in the 10th century BC. Beneath these roundhouses, four inhumation graves contained skeletons, two of which were remains of composite collections of body parts with evidence for post-mortem soft tissue preservation prior to burial. They have proved to be the first evidence for mummification in Bronze Age Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCladh Hallan's remarkable stratigraphic sequence, preserved in the machair sand of South Uist, includes a unique 500-year sequence of roundhouse life in Late Bronze Age and Iron Age Britain. One of the most important results of the excavation has come from intensive environmental and micro-debris sampling of house floors and outdoor areas to recover patterns of discard and to interpret the spatial use of 15 domestic interiors from the Late Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age. From Cladh Hallan’s roundhouse floors we gain intimate insights into how daily life was organized within the house - where people cooked, ate, worked and slept. Such evidence rarely survives from prehistoric houses in Britain or Europe, and the results make a profound contribution to long-running debates about the sunwise organisation of roundhouse activities. Activity at Cladh Hallan ended with the construction and abandonment of two unusual double-roundhouses in the Early Iron Age. One appears to have been a smokery and steam room, and the other was used for metalworking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first of two promised monographs (the next will feature artefacts, animal bones and environmental and human remains), this rich compendium presents the site’s stunning stratigraphy – soils, structures, burials, dating and pottery. * British Archaeology *\u003cbr\u003eA large publication, this book contains a vast amount of information, including chapters on thin-section soil micromorphology, scientific dating and pottery, that will be of interst and use to other researchers. * Archaeology Ireland *\u003cbr\u003eIt is not often that one opens the pages of a huge excavation report with a real sense of anticipation, awaiting the depth and detail that a monograph affords to shed light on a site that garnered much media attention … [It] finally allows the context, chronology, and interpretation of these discoveries to be explained in depth … [and] shows how flexible and evolving excavation methodologies and research questions can lead to outstanding results … There is no doubt that the understanding of later prehistoric lifeways, house building, cosmology, burial practices, metallurgical crafts, farming and ceramics have all been augmented by the work at Cladh Hallan and this wonderful volume. * Scottish Archaeological Journal *\u003cbr\u003eLucid writing and communication of the highly complex site stand out throughout the publication … Much more than a primer or scene-setter for the human remains, [this] is a great asset and a superb volume supported by high production values and lavish illustrations. The book evokes 500 years of settlement development and forms a contextualised basis for understanding the dynamic interplay between the dead and the living. [It] thus makes a highly important contribution to our understanding of Scottish and British later prehistory. * Antiquity *\u003cbr\u003eIt is one of those rare archaeological sites that transform the mundanity of everyday domestic life into something very much extraordinary, generating fascination from academic and lay audiences alike. So, it should come as no surprise that we feel [this volume] on the Bronze Age and Iron Age roundhouses at Cladh Hallan, which are presented in full alongside the buried human remains associated with them, should be very well received by archaeologists and all those interested in the later prehistoric archaeology of Britain … The monograph is also incredibly well illustrated with 575 figures, over 280 of which are in colour … While this volume will immediately appeal to people interested in later prehistoric settlement in Britain, anyone wanting to see a slightly different take on the printed archaeological monograph should also have a look between its covers. * Archaeological Journal *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLIST OF FIGURES  LIST OF TABLES  CONTRIBUTORS  ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS     1. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Cladh Hallan excavations and their context\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cem\u003eM.

This cemetery revealed a particular burial typology, consisting of long and narrow trenches, each containing multiple inhumations, which attests to a catastrophic event, such as an epidemic with high mortality in a short period of time. Given the rarity of human remains from epidemic contexts buried in trenches, the skeletal sample from Alghero represents valuable material. In fact, no other Italian plague cemeteries have been examined through a detailed bioarchaeological analysis, and the study thus serves as a model for future research. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author examines a series of parameters, starting from the demographic profile of the sample –181 individuals from 15 trenches – and taphonomic analysis, and then analysing stature, dental pathologies, stress indicators, degenerative joint disease, entheseal changes and other pathologies. The study is intended to illuminate a cross section of 16th century Sardinian society in a coastal city through a holistic view, which interweaves the documentary evidence for plague, funerary responses and the health status of the population. The main objective is therefore to shed light on a population which lived during a period of plague, revealing lifestyles, activity patterns and illnesses and providing a significant contribution to the bioarchaeology, palaeopathology, and archaeology of the Italian territory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface ;  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1 Introduction ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e1.1 The Plague: historical and biological aspects\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e1.2 The history of Alghero from the origins to the plague of 1582-83\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e1.3 The site of Lo Quarter\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e1.4 The cemetery (end of 13th-beginning of 17th centuries)\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e1.5 The collective burials of Alghero: the trenches\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e1.6 Aims of the study\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2 Materials and methods ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e2.1 Materials\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e2.2 Biological sex estimation\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e2.3 Age at death estimation\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e2.4 Taphonomy\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e2.5 Stature estimation\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e2.6 Non-metric traits\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e2.7 Dental pathologies\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e2.8 Stress indicators\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e2.9 Degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis)\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e2.10 Entheseal changes\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e2.11 Pathologies\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e2.12 Statistical analysis\u003c\/i\u003e  ;  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3 Results and discussion ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e3.1 Demography\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e3.2 Taphonomic analysis\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e3.3 Stature\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e3.4 Non-metric traits\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e3.5 Dental pathologies\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e3.6 Stress indicators\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e3.7 Degenerative joint disease\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e3.8 Entheseal changes\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e3.9 Pathologies\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4 Conclusions and future perspectives ;  \u003cbr\u003e Appendix  ;  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e1.

Among the most remarkable finds were the remains of the rigging. Normally shipwrecks offer only a few clues to the structure above the waterline, but on Vasa the lower masts, a myriad of blocks and deadeyes, hundreds of metres of rope and cable and – most astonishingly – nine sails from the ship and its boat survive. The unique finds provide an unparalleled opportunity to reconstruct the rigging in detail and to form an understanding of how ships were sailed in the seventeenth century. With a sail plan, rigging, and steering gear that are substantially different to the classical full-rigged ship of the nineteenth century, the evidence from Vasa paints a vivid picture of ship-handling in the Age of Sail. Vasa II Part 1 presents more than a thousand finds of wood, metal, and cloth from the most complete rig to survive from before 1800, which form the basis for a complete reconstruction of the rig and sailing performance of a large warship of the 1620s.","brand":"Nordic Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48869554225495,"sku":"9789188909114","price":67.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789188909114.jpg?v=1722293348"},{"product_id":"regional-settlement-demography-in-archaeology-9780989824941","title":"Regional Settlement Demography in Archaeology","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArchaeological field survey methods developed over half a century combine with powerful new quantitative tools for spatial analysis to unleash new potential for identifying and studying ancient local communities and regional polities.

Research on the polished blades of PNG has evolved over the years, following changing philosophies and research agendas. While it is clear that an exceptional sum of information has been gathered, it remains centered on that small part of the Highlands where conditions for field research were more pleasant than elsewhere. Our presentation of Irian Jaya axes therefore tackles a topic that remains mostly unexplored. Until now, stone tool research in New Guinea has followed an anthropocentric approach, in which tools are seen more as vectors for social exchanges than as means of acting on the environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis monograph will take a different approach. Here, polished stone blades are placed at the center of the world, between, on one side, the transformed natural environment, and, on the other, the social and economic environment. This approach will allow us to suggest new avenues of inference in archaeology, as well as to test and abandon existing ones.In this volume, the stone blade is considered as a living being, existing in balance within its biotope. This idea is not far removed from the beliefs of Irian Jaya farmers, for whom life animates certain objects of their material culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing a brief presentation of Irian Jaya, we will describe the function of polished stone blades in Irian Jaya societies and the distribution of hafting styles, define and study the quarrying zones and the areas of diffusion and use of their production, and, if possible, the different trends noted in each area of polished blade production and exchanges.

Within archaeology, personal ornaments have traditionally been viewed as decorative embellishments associated with status and wealth, materializations of power relations and social strategies, or markers of underlying social categories such as those related to gender, class, and ethnic affiliation. Personal Adornment and the Construction of Identity seeks to understand these artefacts not as signals of steady, pre-existing cultural units and relations, but as important components in the active and contingent constitution of identities. Drawing on contemporary scholarship on materiality and relationality in archaeological and social theory, this book uses one genre of material culture - items of bodily adornment - to illustrate how humans and objects construct one another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProviding case studies spanning 10 countries, three continents, and more than 9,000 years of human history, the authors demonstrate the myriad and dynamic ways personal ornaments were intertwined with embodied practice and identity performativity, the creation and remaking of social memories, and relational collections of persons, materials, and practices in the past. The authors’ careful analyses of production methods and composition, curation\/heirlooming and reworking, decorative attributes and iconography, position within assemblages, and depositional context illuminate the varied material and relational axes along which objects of adornment contained social value and meaning. When paired with the broad temporal and geographic scope collectively represented by these studies, we gain a deeper appreciation for the subtle but vital roles these items played in human lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving read this book, you will have a clear and up to date overview of the deep possibilities jewellery research has to offer: not just for archaeological pieces, but for any type of personal adornment. * Bedouin Silver *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   1.

Most were built of wood rather than stone; they were used over comparatively short periods; they were frequently replaced in the same positions; and some were associated with exceptional groups of artefacts. Their construction made considerable demands on human labour and approached the limits of what was possible at the time. They seem to have played specialised roles in ancient society, but they have been difficult to interpret. Were they public buildings or the dwellings of important people? Were they temples or military bases, and why were they erected during times of crisis or change? How were their sites selected, and how were they related to the remains of a more ancient past?

Archaeoastronomy seeks to discover how the impact of the skyscape is materialised in culture, by alignments to celestial events or sky-based symbolism; yet by contrast, archaeology's approach examines all aspects of culture, but rarely considers the sky. Despite this omission, archaeology is the dominant discipline while archaeoastronomy is relegated to the sidelines. The reasons for archaeoastronomy’s marginalised status may be found by assessing its history. For such an exploration to be useful, archaeoastronomy cannot just be investigated in a vacuum but must be contextualised by exploring other contemporaneous developments, particularly in archaeology. On the periphery of both, there are various strands of esoteric thought and pseudoscientific theories which paint an alternative view of monumental remains and these also play a part in the background.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe discipline of archaeology has had an unbroken lineage from the late 19th-century to the present. On the other hand, archaeoastronomy has not been consistently titled, having adopted various different names such as alignment studies, orientation theory, astro-archaeology, megalithic science, archaeotopography, archaeoastronomy and cultural astronomy: names which depict variants of its methods and theory, sometimes in tandem with those of archaeology and sometimes in opposition. Similarly, its academic status has always been unclear, so to bring it closer to archaeology there was a proposal in 2015 to integrate archaeoastronomy research with that of archaeology and call it skyscape archaeology. This volume examines how all these different variants came about and consider archaeoastronomy's often troubled relationship with archaeology and its appropriation by esotericism, to shed light on its position today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.

It is also an area that is of special interest to students of history and archaeology of Roman period Greece, since it was the first to be incorporated in the Roman state. Macedonia shared a similar path of development with Achaea during the imperial period. As provinces far from productive zones and frontiers, both played a minor role in the imperial administrative structure. Beneath this similarity, however, lie many differences: in Macedonia’s proximity to the Balkans, its early contact with Rome, its relatively low level of urbanization, its multicultural context and its sizeable economy, which played their own role in the formation of the urban and rural environments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a focus on elements of the built environment and human habitat, this book examines old and new archaeological evidence to present a concise overview of the archaeology of the area and develop a better perception of the region in terms of archaeology of the built environment, architecture and architectural influences, urbanization and use of land and resources from the 2nd century BC to the early 4th century AD. Driven by a set of key questions that are addressed through the archaeological evidence, the book explores key issues in understanding the archaeology of the area, like the role of architectural tradition and innovation, the interdependency between practical bases of architecture and socio cultural aspects, the exploitation of local resources, and the role of external influences. Special importance is given to the interaction of Greek, Roman and local cultures and the ways that the formation of the built environment eventually led to the assimilation of ideas from East and West in terms of workmanship, use of materials, design and function.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[T]here is no other book, to my knowledge, that discusses Roman Macedonia in an overall manner… The author undoubtedly dedicated many working hours to gathering all the evidence for the built environment of the area, scattered mostly in Greek publications and thus difficult for the international public to access.

As a result, many historical cemeteries and places of note in Connecticut have been investigated. The authors have selected 10 geophysical surveys, which have used GPR as a non-intrusive, non-destructive exploratory tool, that have elicited positive results in the search for unmarked burials, confirmation of marked burials and to authenticate areas of known historical events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book narrates the stories of GPR studies at 10 historical sites in Connecticut, spanning the 17th to the 20th centuries. Each chapter investigates and highlights a ‘history mystery’ and differing aspects of our research, including the ‘lost’ grave of an African-American Revolutionary War veteran, the verification of French Revolutionary War military personnel in a mass grave, the detection of a below-ground hidden 19th-century family burial tomb, the discovery of hurriedly dug, unmarked burials associated with the 1918 influenza pandemic and the detection of the unknown location of a 1941 military plane crash site, among others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessionally, the authors have over 40 years’ experience in GPR, soil science and archaeology. They bring their collective expertise to the reader in a scientific approach with a personal, story-telling touch. Each chapter delves into the history of the sites and the nature of the geophysical search (i.e., how the equipment was used) and the interpretation of the data in regard to solving a historical problem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  1.

This change, which manifested itself in different forms and at different times in different areas of the Old and New Worlds, is still a subject of debate and discussion today. How and why does such a profound change occur in the relationship with the environment and the land? Could the arrival of foreign settlers with a mature and structured Neolithic cultural heritage be the cause of this change in the Mediterranean?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe archaeological excavations conducted at the settlement of La Marmotta (Anguillara Sabazia, Rome, Italy), today submerged under the waters of Lake Bracciano, represents one of the most relevant Neolithic villages of the entire Mediterranean. The exceptional nature of this site is given by the conservation of the organic remains. Not only are the piles and architectural remains of the houses well preserved at La Marmotta, but so are small finds and fragile artefacts such as spoons, textile crafts, baskets, ropes, sickles and bows. In addition, there are a huge variety of remains of both animal and vegetal nature, such as seeds, spikelets, bundles of wheat and other plants, possible cheese and milk derivatives and other mixtures of foodstuff. This set of materials has an enormous potential for changing and deepening our understanding of the first farming societies, of their technological complexity, their know-hows, their lifestyle and food habits. Thanks to La Marmotta it is truly possible to rewrite the evolution of techniques for processing plants and wood during prehistoric times. Until now, published information on the site is very limited and partial. The main aim of this book is to make visible the extreme richness of the La Marmotta archaeological record and provide insights into Neolithic woodworking, basketry, textile production and other crafting and subsistence activities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrologue Director General of Museums of Italy  Prologue Director of the Museo delle Civiltà.

This volume analyses bioarchaeological data from three sites in Tuscany, in the former core of the western Roman Empire and potentially most vulnerable to the major socio-political constraints of the first millennium AD, to provide a corrective view, which begins to show how communities perceived and reacted to changes during the passage to post-Classical times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘Overall, this publication provides an invaluable body of data and information on post-classical and medieval Tuscany and for Italy in general, where anthropology and bioarchaeology have only recently started to be exploited for their contribution to issues long debated by scholars on the critical passage between the Classical and medieval world.\u003c\/em\u003e’ – \u003cstrong\u003eAlessandro Carabia (2022): \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMedieval Archaeology, 65\/2, 2021\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘…\u003cem\u003ethis book does contribute to the growing scholarship on human health in the past using multidisciplinary bioarchaeological approaches, and it serves as an aspirational companion to students wishing to undertake publishable PhD work.

The papers address a major challenge in archaeology. Non-intrusive research in pursuit of a deeper understanding of urban areas can be both richly informative and cost-effective. Multiple successes in the field have led to an impressive array of innovative methodologies, methodologies that are frequently combined for still greater insight and impact. Geophysical surveys, the use of UAVs, the study of exposed historic structures and the exhaustive examination of archival records can all play a vital role, and the development of these data capture methodologies is of the utmost importance for the future of research. As well as advances in data capture methodologies, however, the papers also present case studies in the management of the big data generated and in the integration of different methodologies. A further strength of this collection lies in the range of site types considered. While many projects have historically pursued non-intrusive research in areas relatively clear of modern buildings, a growing number of research initiatives, such as ‘Rome Transformed’ are seeking to advance them in areas which remain densely occupied. Accordingly the material presented here will also be of interest to non-archaeologists working in such diverse fields as civil engineering, urban planning and physical geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003cem\u003e– I.

The first studies of genetic profiling of this population, as well as the results of intra-site GIS and visualization, taphonomy, health and mobility, offer important insights into this complex mortuary site and its ritual.

It is rare that things have been preserved as they were originally made and conceived in the past. However, not all the ancient fragmentary objects were the ‘leftovers’ from the past. A noticeable portion of them was part and parcel of the ancient materiality already in the form of a fragment or damaged item. In 2000, John Chapman, with his volume \u003cem\u003eFragmentation in Archaeology\u003c\/em\u003e, attracted the attention of scholars on the need to reconsider broken artefacts as the result of the deliberate anthropic process of physical fragmentation. The phenomenon of fragmentation can be thus explored with more outcomes for a category of objects that played an important role inside the society: the figurines. Due to their portability and size, figurines are particularly entangled and engaged in social, spatial, temporal, and material relations, and – more than other artefacts – can easily accommodate acts of embodiment and dismemberment. The act of creation symmetrically also involves the act of destruction, which in turn is another act of creation, since from the fragmentation comes a new entity with a different ontology. Breaking contains the paradigms of life: creation and reparation, destruction and regeneration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scope of this volume is to search for traces of any voluntary and intentional fragmentation of ancient artefacts, creating, improving, and sharpening the methods and principles for a scientific investigation that goes beyond single author impression or sensitivity. The comparative lens adopted in this volume can allow the reader to explore different fields taken from ancient societies of how we can address, assess, detect, and even discuss the action of breaking and mutilation of ancient figurines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors   Preface      \u003cstrong\u003eAt the dawn of a break: The agency of the damage \u003c\/strong\u003e  1.

Written by three scholars whose prose styles are refreshingly different, yet compatible, this volume catalogues finds from more than 30 years of excavation...This book is a pleasure to read and use. It is logically organized and written with clarity and insight. The catalogue entries are both concise and complete, with up-to-date references. A useful concordance of finds by inventory number and a comprehensive index accompany the text. The plates include plans of the site of Sardis and photographs, often accompanied by profile drawings, of the majority of the catalogued items. The overall quality of the illustrations is excellent...This volume makes a significant contribution to our knowledge of the nature and distribution of imported mainland Greek pottery in western Anatolia. It should prove a valuable tool for vase specialists, as well as for those interested in ancient Mediterranean trade patterns and the chronological application of stratified pottery.
