Manuelian presents Reisner's undeniable impact and considers his life within the context of Western colonialism, racism, and nationalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn recent years, there's been an ongoing debate in the worlds of history and archaeology over the ethics of taking art and artifacts from a particular country and taking possession of it elsewhere. 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. Professor Der Manuelian is a careful and thorough researcher and for a book this long (1,000+ pages) we can only say 'Thank god he can write!' * Bob Brier, Journal of the American Research Center in Egypt *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface   Egyptian Chronology and Nubian Comparative Chart   Map   Introduction      I.

Collins discovered 2000 year old Eskimo cultures by excavating ancient sites in the Bering Sea region. Since then, archaeologists have pieced together a detailed history of how Eskimos spread east along the arctic coasts of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland to become the region's Inuit peoples of today. What remained unknown is the origin of the Alaskan proto-Eskimos. Did they develop from tundra hunting peoples of northern Eurasia? from river fishermen of the Amur who learned to hunt sea mammals? or from early maritime peoples of Japan and Korea?Central Asia seemed like an odd place for me to search for ancient Eskimos, but many paths led me to investigate the Bronze and Iron Age cultures of Mongolia ca. 2000-0 BCE. Besides physical and genetic similarities, I was intrigued by links in art and shamanic religion as revealed in Mongolia's mysterious, unstudied deer stone monuments. Perhaps deer stone art might provide clues about the origin of Eskimo culture and its ancient Asian heritage.

The impact of salt on the development of human communities, from the Neolithic to the present, has generated a huge number of specialized studies. However, scientific research has become so atomized that the primordial importance of the mineral has been lost, creating a need for a holistic, comprehensive vision of the dimensions generated by salt. This can only be achieved through anthropology. The anthropology of salt encompasses the entirety of human behavior, i.e. cognitive, spiritual, pragmatic, and social reactions to salt, and provides a holistic view of its role in the evolution of human communities. The anthropology of salt thus brings salt studies from an ancillary position to an autonomous discipline. The papers in this volume are organized into six sections: theory, archaeology, history, ethnography\/ ethnoarchaeology\/ethnohistory, linguistics, and literature.

The book is semi-autobiographical, charting the author’s investigation of Alexander Thom’s theories, in particular regarding the alignment of prehistoric monuments in the landscape, across a number of key Neolithic sites from Kintraw to Stonehenge and finally Orkney. It maps his own perspective of the changing reception to Thom’s ideas by the archaeological profession from initial curiosity and acceptance to increasing scepticism. The text presents historical summaries of the various strands of evidence from key Neolithic sites across the UK and Ireland with the compelling evidence from the Ness of Brodgar added as an appendix in final justification of his approach to the subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'...a richly illustrated account of an important, but much marginalised debate within archaeology and, as such, of great historiographical value.'—\u003cstrong\u003eKenneth Brophy (2021): \u003cem\u003eJournal of Skyscape Archaeology\u003c\/em\u003e, DOI:\u003c\/strong\u003ehttps:\/\/doi.org\/10.1558\/jsa.22278\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword – Dr Doug MacKie ;  \u003cbr\u003e Preface ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1 The origins of the controversy ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2 Early hypothesis-testing in western Scotland ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3 Decisive tests in Orkney and Ireland ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4 Research into Alexander Thom’s fieldwork ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5 The probable astronomy and geometry of Stonehenge ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6 The Neolithic solar calendar, as seen on a kerb stone at Knowth, Ireland ;  \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7 Current aspects of the research situation ;  \u003cbr\u003e Appendix Is there plausible evidence that the Ness of Brodgar priesthood had any esoteric knowledge? ;  \u003cbr\u003e Bibliography","brand":"Archaeopress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49084357837143,"sku":"9781784918330","price":43.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781784918330.jpg?v=1725551877"},{"product_id":"the-social-and-cultural-contexts-of-historic-writing-practices-9781789254785","title":"The Social and Cultural Contexts of Historic","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriting is not just a set of systems for transcribing language and communicating meaning, but an important element of human practice, deeply embedded in the cultures where it is present and fundamentally interconnected with all other aspects of human life.

However, in archaeology, the deployment of networks has sometimes been more descriptive than analytical.

However, the fragmentary, heterogenous and usually proxy data we possess are not always amenable to reconstructing that complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn ancient societies, we must infer the movement of knowledge about 'how to make things' largely from objects themselves. This is because we usually lack direct evidence of the human relationships that entwined people with objects and their makers, and hence have only imperfect understanding of the full range of diverse factors that shaped the relationships that constituted these networks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this volume aim to interrogate the interpretative potential of network concepts for understanding the movement over time and space of ideas about making, using and moving things through a range of archaeological case studies, which reveal both functional and dysfunctional relationships. The purpose is to consider how more broadly contextualised and multi-faceted studies can both enhance, and be enhanced by, network and related approaches. The volume contributes to the search for greater understanding of the movement and transmission of knowledge (or in some cases their absence), and to debates about how best to expand the utility of network concepts and approaches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of illustrations   Author biographies   Introduction   Lin Foxhall    1.

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.

A second of these shared insights addresses the ubiquity of phenomena of 'value in things'. There is no society without valued objects. As a rule, valuation is something negotiated or even disputed. Value arises through social action, whereby it is always necessary to ask anew which actors are interested in the value of certain objects (or in their appreciation).

For the first time, the two-way transfer of knowledge between dance studies and costume studies is connected via an innovative approach.

This includes both specific places such as Athens and Rome, but also an instantly recognisable style of urbanism wrought in marble and lived in by teeming tunic-clad crowds. Selective and misleading this vision may be, but it speaks to the continuing importance these ancient cities have had in the centuries that followed and the extent to which they define the period in subsequent memory. Although there is much that is mysterious about them, the cities of the Roman Mediterranean are, for the most part, historically known. That the names and pasts of these cities remain known to us is the product of an extraordinary process of remembering and forgetting stretching back to antiquity that took place throughout the former Roman world. This volume tackles this subject of the survival and transformation of the ancient city through memory, drawing upon the methodological and theoretical lenses of memory studies and resilience theory to view the way the Greco-Roman city lived and vanished for the generations that separate the present from antiquity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book analyses the different ways in which urban communities of the post-Antique world have tried to understand and relate to the ancient city on their own terms, examining it as a process of forgetting as well as remembering.

The volume assembles specialists in multiple fields to bring their perspectives to bear on the subject through eleven case studies that range from late Antiquity to the mid-20th century, and from the Iberian Peninsula to Iran. Through the examination of archaeological remains, changing urban layouts and chronicles, travel guides and pamphlets, they track how the ancient city was made useful or consigned to oblivion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe real power of this volume is that these changes through time are not seen as mistakes obfuscating a ‘true’ classical heritage in need of being saved from later accretions through excavation and correction, but as indicators of how thesemonuments and memories serve a dynamic role within successive generations’ cognitive maps of their environment. * Greece and Rome *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword:  \u003cem\u003eAndrew Wallace-Hadrill\u003c\/em\u003e     Introduction  \u003cem\u003eSam Ottewill-Soulsby and Javier Martínez Jiménez \u003c\/em\u003e  Part 1.

It addresses the divergent uses and roles of different metals, the interrelationships of these roles and the changing values that may have been accorded to them at different times and in different places by producers and consumers. Individually, the papers in the volume contemplate the particular properties of different metals and the various issues concerning their frequent under-representation in the archaeological (but not necessarily textual) record, and also point out comparative and diachronic perspectives that may have the ability to offer insights into their important roles in wider cultural and historical changes over a period of several millennia. After the Introduction and Chapter 1, which reflects on some of the parameters involved in the term ‘precious’ as applied to metals, the remaining six chapters cover the Aegean and the networks that link the Aegean with Italy, Cyprus and the Near East more generally, and south-east Anatolia and the Caucasus. Between them they discuss the beginnings of regular iron metallurgy, the uses of and attitudes to gold, silver and bronze and other copper-based alloys at various times between the fourth millennium BC and the Early Iron Age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Contributors Precious Circuits: Introduction Toby Wilkinson and Susan Sherratt  1.

This concept has gained momentum in academia, in part due to contemporary environmental concerns. Although the blurry conceptual boundaries of this term are open to a wide array of interpretations, the scholarly community generally perceives circular economy as a convenient umbrella definition that encompasses a vast array of regenerative and preservative processes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite the recent surge of interest, economic circularity has not been fully addressed as a macrophenomenon by historical and archaeological studies. The limitations of data and the relatively new formulation of targeted research questions mean that several processes and agents involved in ancient circular economies are still invisible to the eye of modern scholarship. Examples include forms of curation, maintenance, and repair, which must have had an influence on the economic systems of premodern societies but are rarely accounted for. Moreover, the people behind these processes, such as collectors and scavengers, are rarely investigated and poorly understood. Even better-studied mechanisms, like reuse and recycling, are not explored to their full potential within the broader picture of ancient urban economies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume stems from a conference held at Moesgaard Museum supported by the Carlsberg Foundation and the Centre for Urban Networks Evolutions (UrbNet) at Aarhus University. To enhance our understanding of circular economic processes, the contributions in this volume expand the framework of the discussion by exploring circular economy over the longue durée and by integrating an interdisciplinary perspective. Furthermore, the volume gives prominence to classes of material, processes, agents, and methodologies generally overlooked or ignored in modern scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: approaching circular economies through archaeological and historical sources  I.

For over a thousand years, this area was the focus of intense funerary ritual seemingly designed to send the dead to their ancestors and secure the land for the living. Scattered through the fields to the north and west of the Ring are flat cemeteries, standing stones, tombs, cists, and ring barrows – ancient monuments that were leveled by the plough when the land was enclosed in the 18th and 19th centuries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA great 90 m long timber enclosure with an elaborate entrance and inner ‘temple’ was first observed through crop marks in aerial photos.

Intellectuals, aristocrats, holy men or even the dead all needed to shape a discourse that would allow them to justify their hierarchies, whether they were internal or common to all of society, to reach a social consensus and to sustain them over time. The forms in which power used religion to express itself were quite diverse, such as ritual violence, martyrdom, sacrifice, or even divine trickery. Sometimes certain spaces became places whose political and religious control brought about conflicts, whose resolution was found through the legitimisation generated by the complex theological discourse, which reinforced the extraordinary qualities of the gods to reaffirm their authority, or through the cohesive value of the rites. This volume analyses these questions through fourteen works by sixteen researchers from different institutions. It includes studies carried out with materials from a wide range of sources: epigraphy, the archaeological record, and literary sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'\u003cem\u003eThis miscellany of studies has been enriched by his approach multidisciplinary because the contributions have been focused from a wide variety of scientific disciplines such as the History of Religions, Philology, History and Archaeology. Likewise, there is no doubt that we are dealing with a collection of innovative tests of great scientific value for scholars of societies as a whole, and that in Spanish-speaking historiography comes to fill a historiographic gap on the conceptual trinomial discourse-space-power. The different contributions, covering a wide chronology and cultural contexts diverse, facilitate the understanding of the realities and beliefs so polyhedral that they underlie the articulation of past religions.

Over the last decades, countless studies have examined the lives of dogs and their current place in our societies as well as their crucial part in human life and history. Data and hypotheses have progressively increased, sometimes controversially, in each field of investigation. The domestication of dogs and its success during prehistory is a fascinating theme that scholars of various disciplines are involved with. However, there has not been a real exchange between those approaches and it is extremely complex to reach a complete view of the thousands of texts which are published every year. By contrast, this volume is entirely dedicated to dogs and it is focused on the necessity of an ‘interdisciplinary perspective’ to fully understand the fundamental role that dogs have played in our past. When, where, how and why were dogs domesticated? What is their story? What was their role in the history of humankind? What is their role in traditional and non-traditional societies today? The book originated from the conference ‘Dogs, Past and Present – an Interdisciplinary Perspective’ held at CNR (National Scientific Council) and at Sapienza University in Rome (14–17 November 2018), promoted by the Italian Association for Ethnoarchaeology and organised by the editors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresentation – \u003cem\u003eAdriano V.

It compares the approaches and methods adopted by researchers from different disciplinary sectors to identify the water conditions of past societies and to highlight the measures they have taken to adapt to their water resources. Deriving from an interdisciplinary meeting held in Aix-en-Provence (Mediterranean House of Human Sciences) in 2019, it brings together seven articles that present the innovative results of collaborations between archaeologists and environmental scientists, geologists, geomorphologists, and climatologists in particular. After an introduction that situates the discussions conducted in Aix-en-Provence within the framework of the Watertraces project, funded by the A*Midex foundation (Aix-Marseille University), most of the articles focus on the Sicilian situation. An initial synthesis covers all aspects of the question, followed by four case studies ranging from the 4th century BC to the 1st century AD. Case studies on Agrigento, Termini Imerese\/Thermai Himerenses, Alesa\/Halaesa, Solunte and Tyndaris are presented. The focus then moves to southern Italy (the Terme di Baia), and to Aegean Greece (the sanctuary at Delphi).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction – \u003ci\u003eSophie Bouffier and Vincent Ollivier\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Impact of Climate, Resource Availability, Natural Disturbances and Human Subsistence Strategies on Sicilian Landscape Dynamics During the Holocene – \u003ci\u003eSalvatore Pasta, Giuseppe D’Amore, Cipriano Di Maggio, Gaetano Di Pasquale, Vincenza Forgia, Alessandro Incarbona, Giuliana Madonia, César Morales-Molino, Silvio Giuseppe Rotolo, Luca Sineo, Claudia Speciale, Attilio Sulli, Willy Tinner and Matteo Vacchi\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Analyse historique des variations du débit provoqué par les séismes pendant les siècles XVe–XXe: le cas de Termini Imerese (Sicile centro-septentrionale) – \u003ci\u003ePatrizia Bova, Antonio Contino and Giuseppe Esposito\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Le risorse idriche nel territorio di Alesa – \u003ci\u003eAurelio Burgio\u003c\/i\u003e ;  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Aquae caldae.

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 project, which in 2016 won the prestigious Current Archaeology award for the Archaeology Project of the Year, aimed at writing, through material culture and extensive archival and geophysical research, the narrative behind the construction of Berkeley Castle, the corresponding town, and the area of the Severn valley that overlooks the borders with Wales. By combining the results of archaeological fieldwork with information contained in the castle's impressive collection of 20,000 historical documents, the project adds greatly to our knowledge and understanding of the early medieval period and the subsequent changes in landscape and society that occurred with the coming of the Normans, with the erection of a castle on the former minster site. Throughout the publication the advances that the Berkeley Castle project offered to archaeological practice, to excavation and geophysics methodology, and to the community and public archaeology are evident, since the editors intend the volume to be a milestone not only for the study of a castle landscape but also for archaeological method and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword by Charles Berkeley\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword by Professor Graeme Were\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Tales from an Excavation: University of Bristol and the Berkeley Castle Project 2005–2019 – \u003cem\u003eStuart J.

An introductory chapter provides background information to clarify references in the letters, additional new comments within the letters amplify points and events, and a final chapter sums up her post-dissertation years. The letters were written during lively times politically and socially, as well as archaeologically, in Greece and around the world. The author was often torn between immersing herself in the past and being involved in the upheavals of that present. The letters show her frequent questioning about whether to remain in archaeology or become an ‘activist,’ and how she eventually found ways to do both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1.

As a result, bottom-up possibilities for group co-operation have been under theorised in favour of models stressing top-down leadership, while evidence from a range of disciplines has demonstrated humans to effectively sustain co-operative undertakings through a number of social norms and institutions. This is the first volume to focus on the use of archaeological evidence to understand co-operation and collective action.  Disentangling the motivations and institutions that foster group co-operation among competitive individuals remains one of the few great conundrums within evolutionary theory.  The breadth and material focus of archaeology provide a much needed complement to existing research on co-operation and collective action, which thus far has relied largely on game-theoretic modelling, surveys of college students from affluent countries, brief ethnographic experiments, and limited historic cases.  In this book diverse case studies address the evolution of the emergence of norms, institutions, and symbols of complex societies through the last 10,000 years. This book is an important contribution to the literature on co-operation in human societies that will appeal to archaeologists and other scholars interested in co-operation research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Cooperation research] is one of the busiest and most exciting areas of transdisciplinary science right now, linking evolution, ecology and social science... this is the first major work or collection to address linkages between archaeology and cooperation research.

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.

This book, the culmination of Binford's intellectual legacy thus far, presents a detailed description of his methodology and its significance for understanding hunter-gatherer cultures on a global basis. This landmark publication will be an important step in understanding the great process of cultural evolution and will change the way archaeology proceeds as a scientific enterprise.   This work provides a major synthesis of an enormous body of  cultural and environmental information and offers many original insights into the past. Binford helped pioneer what is now called ethnoarchaeologythe study of living societies to help explain cultural patterns in the archaeological recordand this book is grounded on a detailed analysis of ethnographic data from about 340 historically known hunter-gatherer populations.
