Equinox Publishing Ltd A Short Introduction to the Study of Language
Book SynopsisA Short Introduction to the Study of Language provides an accessible and up-to-date invitation to key concepts of modern language study. Readers gain awareness of the scientific approach to language through examination of varied topics of current research interest. The book explores the following issues: How are young children, who have limited general cognitive capability, able to automatically pick up and use any language that is in their environment, quickly, easily and without effort? Do other animals have language - what about the complex communication systems of apes, bees and cephalods? What happens when an individual is raised in an environment in which they are not exposed to language? Are some languages simpler than others - do some languages lack grammar? Is English getting worse over time, and is there one "correct" way to speak English? This book introduces readers to work that linguists are engaged in today which explores these questions, and sheds light on a number of widespread myths and misconceptions about language.Table of Contents1. What is Language? 2. Language and Other Animal Communication Systems 3. Teaching Human Language to Apes 4. Language Learning 5. Experiments in Language Acquisition 6. Abnormal Language 7. Bilingualism 8. Are there Primitive Languages? 9. Non-Standard Dialects

Archaeopress Working with the Past: Towards an Archaeology of
Book SynopsisRecycling is a basic anthropological process of humankind. The reutilization of materials or of ideas from the Past is a process determined by various natural or cultural causes. Recycling can be motivated by a crisis or by a complex symbolic cause like the incorporation of the Past into the Present. What archaeology has not insisted upon is the dimensional scale of the process, which operates from the micro-scale of the recycling of the ancestors’ material, up to the macro-scale of the landscape. It is well known that there are direct relations between artefacts and landscapes in what concerns the materiality and mobility of objects. An additional relation between artefact and landscape may be the process of recycling. In many ways artefact and landscape can be considered as one aspect of material culture, perceived at a different scale, since both have the same materiality and suffer the same process of reutilisation. This book invites archaeologists to approach the significant process of recycling within the archaeological record at two different levels: of artefacts and of landscape.Table of ContentsThe Never Ending Journey: Cycling and Recycling Seen through a Critical Assessment of the Taphonomic Process (Roberta Robin Dods); Sustainability, Health, and Society: Prehistoric Artefacts as Sustainable Materials (Lolita Nikolova); Recycling Power and Place: The Many Lives of Traprain Law, SE Scotland (Ian Armit, Andrew Dunwell, Fraser Hunter); Tells as Recycled Places.

Archaeopress IKUWA6. Shared Heritage: Proceedings of the Sixth
Book SynopsisCelebrating the theme ‘Shared heritage’, IKUWA6 (the 6th International Congress for Underwater Archaeology), was the first such major conference to be held in the Asia-Pacific region, and the first IKUWA meeting hosted outside Europe since the organisation’s inception in Germany in the 1990s. A primary objective of holding IKUWA6 in Australia was to give greater voice to practitioners and emerging researchers across the Asia and Pacific regions who are often not well represented in northern hemisphere scientific gatherings of this scale; and, to focus on the areas of overlap in our mutual heritage, techniques and technology. Drawing together peer-reviewed presentations by delegates from across the world who converged in Fremantle in 2016 to participate, this volume covers a stimulating diversity of themes and niche topics of value to maritime archaeology practitioners, researchers, students, historians and museum professionals across the world.Table of ContentsAcknowledgment to Country ; Preface ; Conference Organisation and Acknowledgements ; UNESCO Roundtable ; 1.

Archaeopress Essai bibliographique sur l’archéologie
Book SynopsisThe present bibliography of contributions in French to Mesoamerican studies aims to serve several purposes. For more than a century, Spanish, English and French were the three official languages of the International Congresses of Americanists. This situation stems from historical reasons: the first Congresses took place in Nancy, Luxemburg and Brussels. Since the fifties, the steady growth of Mexican and Central American national researches and the ever-growing weight of United States investigators slowly occulted the French contributions. Conversely, the establishment of research institutions in Belgium, Switzerland, France and Canada facilitated the multiplication of investigation projects in the whole continent, with their correlative publications. With this essay, we wish, 1) to make an assessment of the existing situation; 2) to provide our colleagues with the most complete number of references and draw their attention on unknown contributions frequently illustrated with forgotten objects; 3) to evaluate the contribution of the most recent formations; 4) last but not least, to insist upon the necessary confrontation of methods and points of view. We consider as fundamental this confrontation of methodological approaches, not to underestimate the diversity of interpretations. A language is not only a linguistic vehicle. It implies also a way of thinking, of reasoning. Each researcher answers a question, a problem according to his formation, his prejudices, his culture, his methods and his possibilities. From their confrontation, we may obtain better results, new tools and henceforth a better understanding of these civilizations.Table of ContentsAvant Propos / Foreword / Prólogo ; Abréviations utilisées / Used Abbreviations/ Abreviaciones ; Principales revues pertinentes pour la recherche américaniste francophone / Main pertinent French publications for Mesoamerican archaeology / Principales revistas pertinentes para las investigaciones en francés ; Bilan des publications en Français / An assessment of French contributions / Una evaluación de las contribuciones en francés ; Mésoamérique et généralités / Mesoamerica and general works / Mesoamérica y generalidades ; Une discipline ? / A specific approach? / Una disciplina? ; Géographie et milieux / Geography and environments / Geografía y medios naturales ; Chroniqueurs et codices / Chroniclers and codex / Cronistas y códices ; Ecritures, littérature et déchiffrements / Writing, literature and decipherments / Escritura, literature y desciframiento ; La découverte et la conquête / Discovery and conquest / El descubrimiento y la conquista ; Origines, comparatisme et hypothèses / Origins, comparatism and hypothesis / Orígenes, comparatismo e hipótesis ; Art, collections, expositions, musées / Art, collections, exhibitions, museums / Arte, colecciones, exposiciones y museos ; Les Chichimèques, le nord du Mexique et la Californie / The Chichimecs, Northern Mexico and California / Los chichimecas, el norte de México y Baja California ; Occident et Centre-nord / Western and North Central Mexico / El Occidente y el centro norte ; Le Mexique central / Central Mexico / El centro de México ; Oaxaca et le Guerrero / Oaxaca and Guerrero / Oaxaca y Guerrero ; La côte du Golfe: des Olmèques aux Huastèques / The Gulf Coast: from Olmecs to Huaxtecs / La costa del Golfo: de los olmecas a los huastecos ; Les Mayas / The Mayas / Los mayas ; L’Amérique centrale et les marges méridionales / Central America and the southern margins / La América central y la frontera meridional ; L’héritage colonial: une perspective anthropologique / The colonial heritage: an anthropological perspective / La herencia colonial: una perspectiva antropológica ; Thèses soutenues dans les universités francophones / Thesis and PhD in French-speaking Universities / Tesis de doctorado presentadas en las universidades francófonas

Archaeopress Archaeological Heritage Conservation and
Book SynopsisArchaeological heritage conservation is all too often highly conflicted and fraught with pitfalls in part due to a poor understanding of the historical and current underpinnings that guide best practice. When heritage places are managed with international principles in mind the sites stand out as evidencing superior outcomes. The International Scientific Committee on Archaeological Heritage Management expresses concern in the Salalah Guidelines of 2017 with the persistent problems facing archaeological sites that are open to the public. National heritage icons face overwhelming pressure to provide the mainstay of local, national and international tourism economies while in some instances being situated in locations destined for major development or military conflict. Leaders in the field of archaeological heritage conservation, particularly with respect to World Heritage listed properties, assert that economic interests often are at the forefront of management decision making while heritage values are given lesser, if any, consideration. Continuing and future zones of discomfort such as the impact of war, theft of national cultural property, over-development, unconstrained excavation, extreme nationalism, uncontrolled visitation and professionalisation need to be addressed if future generations are to be afforded the same heritage values as are available today.Table of Contents1.

Archaeopress The Poole Iron Age Logboat
Book SynopsisThe Poole Iron Age logboat, one of the largest surviving prehistoric watercraft in Britain, is today imposingly displayed in the entrance to Poole Museum in Dorset. However, the vessel faced a difficult journey from its first discovery to the amazing artefact we can now see. Recovered from Poole Harbour in 1964, it is impossible to overestimate the international significance of this vessel. But until now it had never been fully recorded and apart from its impressive size, very little was known about it. Its dimensions made it inherently unstable and suggest it was designed for use solely in Poole Harbour. This book is the culmination of significant multi-disciplinary work carried out by a variety of specialists, from conservators to woodworking and boatbuilding experts, exploring not only the craft’s history but also its functionality – or lack of – as a vessel. Digital recording, using the latest technology, has made it possible to test its capabilities. For the first time, prehistorians, nautical archaeologists and lay people alike can understand the story of one of Britain’s oldest boats – the archaeological and historical background, the environmental context, the timber and ship science, and the challenges of conserving such an important vessel.Table of ContentsList of figures; List of tables; List of contributors; Acknowledgements; Foreword – Professor Seán McGrail; Chapter 1: Introduction - Keith Jarvis†; Chapter 2: Environmental and archaeological background to prehistoric Poole Harbour – Eileen Wilkes; Chapter 3: Evidence for the building of the Poole logboat – Damian Goodburn; Chapter 4: The Poole logboat: digital comparisons – Pat Tanner; Chapter 5: The conservation of the Poole logboat – Jeremy Hutchings and James A.

Archaeopress Living with Heritage: The Case of Tsodilo World
Book SynopsisCultural Heritage Management in most parts of Africa has been concerned and focused on conservation and preservation of cultural and natural heritage and the development of sites for tourism and economic benefit. In this venture, the tangible heritage such as monuments and landscapes become the focus and of primary significance. Therefore, most efforts have failed to grasp the significance and relevance of cultural heritage to the local communities and the existing traditional and cultural attachment to heritage sites beyond the economic gain. Of late, operational guidelines of the WH Conventions have targeted the engagement of communities in the management of their local heritage and shaping visitor experiences. The major challenge is the implementation of these agreements and restoration of cultural pride in local communities. The communities’ interest in heritage areas has been overshadowed by the perceived idea of economic gain and the global agenda for preservation of monuments for future generation as the foremost primary benefit in heritage over cultural rights and entitlement to heritage sites, present day cultural valuation and traditional use. In 2008 several heritage sites in Botswana were opened for tourism in addition to the Tsodilo World Heritage Site. Furthermore, in June 2014 the Okavango Delta covering a vast range of land occupied by cultural communities was also inscribed on the World Heritage List, becoming the second World Heritage Site in the country. However, insufficient research and analysis has been undertaken to understand how local communities and local cultures respond to these ventures. The study is case study based, presenting an overview of community transformation and responses to universalized heritage value and collective global view that characterize heritage status of cultural materials and the interactions of local cultures and traditions with the concepts of heritage and culture in heritage sites as globalised platforms. In this regard, it is evident through this study that the interlocutors are aware of their community boundaries and value in response to a national and global process of ‘valuation’ of the heritage site that is not theirs.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction and Conceptulisation Chapter 2 Approaching Inhabited Heritage Spaces: Grounded Theory and Community Heritage Research RESEARCH FINDINGS Chapter 3 Relevance and Competition for Recognition and Entitlement of Communities in Inhabited Heritage Areas Chapter 4 Heritage Community Value Dimensions and Impact on Host Communities Chapter 5 Heritage Community Interactions: Hosts and Visitors Chapter 6 Discussion and Concluding Remarks References Appendices

Archaeopress Natter’s Museum Britannicum: British gem
Book SynopsisThe German gem-engraver, medallist, and amateur scholar Lorenz Natter (1705-1763), was so impressed by the size and quality of the collections of ancient and later engraved gems which he found in Britain that he proposed the publication of an extraordinarily ambitious catalogue – Museum Britannicum – which would present engravings and descriptions of the most important pieces. He made considerable progress to this end, producing several hundred drawings, but in time he decided to abandon the near completed project in the light of the apparent lack of interest shown in Britain. Only one of the intended plates in its final form ever appeared, in a catalogue which he published separately for Lord Bessborough’s collection. On Natter’s death the single copy of his magnum opus vanished mysteriously, presumed lost forever. All hope of recovering Natter’s unpublished papers seemed vain, and their very existence had come to be doubted. Yet they were to be found more than two hundred years after his death, in Spring 1975, when the classical scholar and renowned expert in gems, Oleg Neverov, chanced upon them at the bottom of a pile of papers in the archives of the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. Neverov and his colleague Julia Kagan carried out the initial research on the Hermitage manuscripts and produced the first published account of this archival treasure. The present volume builds upon their earlier work to produce the first comprehensive publication of Museum Britannicum, offering full discussion in English and presenting Natter’s drawings and comments alongside modern information on the gems that can be identified and located through fresh research. This book is the result of a ten-year collaboration between scholars on the Beazley Archive gems research programme at Oxford’s Classical Art Research Centre and the State Hermitage Museum. It fulfills Natter’s vision for the Museum Britannicum – albeit two and a half centuries late – to the benefit of art historians, cultural historians, curators, and gem-lovers of today.Table of ContentsPreface ; PART 1 ; I.

Archaeopress Visual Culture, Heritage and Identity: Using Rock
Book SynopsisVisual Culture, Heritage and Identity: Using Rock Art to Reconnect Past and Present sets out a fresh perspective on rock art by considering how ancient images function in the present. In recent decades, archaeological approaches to rock paintings and engravings have significantly advanced our understanding of rock art in regional and global terms. On the other hand, however, little research has been done on contemporary uses of rock art. How does ancient rock art heritage influence contemporary cultural phenomena? And how do past images function in the present, especially in contemporary art and other media? In the past, archaeologists usually concentrated more on reconstructing the semantic and social contexts of the ancient images. This volume, on the other hand, focuses on how this ancient heritage is recognised and reified in the modern world, and how this art stimulates contemporary processes of cultural identity-making. The authors, who are based all over the world, off er attractive and compelling case studies situated in diverse cultural and geographical contexts.Trade Review'This is a fascinating book that breathes new life into a subject dominated so long by traditional exegetic interpretations of prehistoric rock art which have achieved little collective consensus, although it is fair to say they have advanced our understanding. It is illustrated with beautiful and vibrant images throughout, and its anthropological/ethnoarchaeological approach is highly commended.'—Mark Merrony (2021): ANTIQVVS, Volume 3, Issue 4'The editors are to be congratulated on promoting a relatively new concept in rock art research, namely bridging the philosophical gap between ancient and modern art forms, using anthropology and ethnography to legitimise the past and the way it interacts with the present. The publishers, Archaeopress, should also receive praise for producing such a handsome and colourful publication that truly reflects the beauty and rhetoric of modern (rock) art-making.' – George Nash (2022): Current World Archaeology #111Table of ContentsA Brief Note about the Editors ; Using Rock Art to Reconnect Past and Present: An Introduction – Andrzej Rozwadowski and Jamie Hampson ; Indigenous Art in New Contexts: Inspiration or Appropriation? – Jamie Hampson and Rory Weaver ; The Cave of Altamira and Modern Artistic Creation – Pilar Fatás Monforte ; Joane Cardinal–Schubert: Ancient Contemporary – Alisdair MacRae ; Face to Face with Ancestors: Indigenous Codes in the Contemporary Art of Siberia – Andrzej Rozwadowski and Magdalena Boniec ; Contemporary Views on Rock Art from Within the Frame: Indigenous Cultural Continuity and Artistic Engagement with Rock Art – Marisa Giorgi and Dale Harding ; PalimpsGestures: Rock Art and the Recreation of Body Expression – Lina do Carmo ; In the Name of the Ancestors: Repainted Identities and Land Memories – Laura Teresa Tenti ; Muraycoko Wuyta’a Be Surabudodot / Ibararakat: Rock Art and Territorialization in Contemporary Indigenous Amazonia – the Case of the Munduruku People from the Tapajos River – Jairo Saw Munduruku, Eliano Kirixi Munduruku and Raoni Valle ; Appropriation, Re-Appropriation, Reclamation: The Re-Use of New Zealand’s Most Renowned Māori Rock Art – Gerard O’Regan [Open Access: Download]; Reproduction, Simulation and the Hyperreal: A Case Study of ‘Lascaux III’ 2015–2017 – Robert J.

Archaeopress Heritage in the Making: Dealing with the Legacies
Book SynopsisThe fifth volume of Ex Novo has the pleasure to host Flaminia Bartolini as guest editor for the special issue titled Heritage in the Making: Dealing with Legacies of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. This collection of peer-reviewed papers stems in part from the successful workshop held at McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge in December 2018 under the aegis of the DAAD-Cambridge Hub. The event gathered several international heritage experts and professionals from both Germany and Italy to explore the complexities of handling Heritage related to Fascism and National Socialism. The selection of papers contribute much to the debate on the shifting conditions of the reception of dictatorial regimes, and more specifically the fate of fascist material legacies from the aftermath of WWII to the present day. The second part of this volume includes an additional contribution by Aydin Abar which keeps in with the broad theme of political reappropriation of the past lying at the core of Bartolini’s collection of papers but strays away from their geographical focus by extending the analysis to the exploitation of Achaemenian material legacies in reinforcing nationalist narratives in nineteenth and twentieth century Iran.Table of ContentsForeword – Ex Novo EDITORIAL BOARD ; PART I: Heritage in the Making.

Book SynopsisUnderstanding and Accessibility of Pre-and Protohistorical Research Issues: Sites, Museums and Communication Strategies presents the papers from Session XXXV-1 of the 18th UISPP World Congress (Paris, June 2018). Museums are increasingly seen as the place where scientific research and heritage education meet, rather than being simply a location for exhibitions. The eight contributions from Italy, the United Kingdom, Senegal, Spain and the Netherlands address the following related issues: the mediation of language from research usage to public usage, making the museum visit an educational experience, universal accessibility, involvement of the local community in the management of the sites and museums, use of media and new technology to bring scientific content to the public.Table of ContentsUnderstanding and accessibility of pre-and proto-historical research issues: sites, museums and communication strategies – Davide Delfino and Valentino Nizzo ; Abandonment, rehabilitation and accessibility of open air sites: the case of El Castillar – Arróniz Pamplona, L., Sirvent Cañada, L.M., Fonseca de la Torre, H.J., Bayer Rodríguez, X., Meana Medio, L., Pérez Legido, D., Calvo Hernández, C. ; Beyond Museum Walls: The Potential of Untraveled Prehistoric Heritage Sites as Archaeotourism Destinations – Patrick M.M.A. Bringmans ; Reality, strategies and projects to Prehistory and Protohistory in the state museums and archaeological sites in the Molise region (Southern Italy) – Viviana Carbonara, Davide Delfino, Annarosa Di Nucci, Leandro Ventura ; Unlocking La Cotte de St. Brélade: making Jersey’s Pleistocene heritage accessible – Peter Chowne, Jonathan Carter ; Parco Archeologico Didattico del Livelet: education, ancient technology and experimental archaeology (Revine Lago, Treviso, Italy) – Marta Modolo, Maura Stefani, Fabio Sartori, Carlo Ingegno, Daniele Magagnin, Angela Bressan, Alessandra Marton, Giulia Conte, Gianmarco Mason, Samantha Rizzotto, Valentina Riva, Francesca Carpené, Carlotta Maniglia, Paola Nardellotto, Marta Meneghini, Erika Follador ; The Temple Machine.

Archaeopress The Public Archaeology of Treasure
Book SynopsisThe Public Archaeology of Treasure comprises the select proceedings of the 5th University of Chester Archaeology Student Conference which took place on 31 January 2020 in the lecture theatre of the Grosvenor Museum, Chester and was complemented by an online Twitter conference on the following morning, 1 February 2020. Reflecting on the shifting and conflicting meanings, values and significances for treasure in archaeology’s public engagements, interactions and manifestations, the volume emphasises how education and research cannot avoid the persistent and evocative associations of ‘treasure’ in socio-political discourse and popular culture. This first-ever exploration of ‘the public archaeology of treasure’ thus offers a host of timely themes and perspectives on the public engagement with, and popular receptions of, archaeological artefacts and assemblages written by students, researchers, educators and heritage practitioners.Table of ContentsIntroduction: the Public Archaeology of Treasure – Howard Williams, Samuel Clague, Natasha Carr and James Raine ; Going with the FLO: Personal Reflections on the Portable Antiquities Scheme for England and Wales – an interview with Peter Reavill ; ‘An Unlikely Ally?’ Archaeologists and Metal Detectorists in England and Wales Today – Pauline Magdalene Clarke ; Stór mo chroí - Reflections on Treasure from an Irish Perspective – Sharon A.
