Sidestone Press Past Landscapes: The Dynamics of Interaction
Book SynopsisPast Landscapes presents theoretical and practical attempts of scholars and scientists, who were and are active within the Kiel Graduate School “Human Development in Landscapes” (GSHDL), in order to disentangle a wide scope of research efforts on past landscapes. Landscapes are understood as products of human-environmental interaction. At the same time, they are arenas, in which societal and cultural activities as well as receptions of environments and human developments take place. Thus, environmental processes are interwoven into human constraints and advances.This book presents theories, concepts, approaches and case studies dealing with human development in landscapes. On the one hand, it becomes evident that only an interdisciplinary approach can cover the manifold aspects of the topic. On the other hand, this also implies that the very different approaches cannot be reduced to a simplistic uniform definition of landscape. This shortcoming proves nevertheless to be an important strength. The umbrella term ‘landscape’ proves to be highly stimulating for a large variety of different approaches.The first part of our book deals with a number of theories and concepts, the second part is concerned with approaches to landscapes, whereas the third part introduces case studies for human development in landscapes. As intended by the GSHDL, the reader might follow our approach to delve into the multi-faceted theories, concepts and practices on past landscapes: from events, processes and structures in environmental and produced spaces to theories, concepts and practices concerning past societies.Table of ContentsPreface Past Landscapes: The Dynamics of Interaction between Society, Environment, and Culture Annette Haug, Lutz Käppel, and Johannes Müller Introduction From Theories, Concepts and Practices on Human Development in Landscapes Annette Haug and Johannes Müller Landscape and the GSHDL 2007–2017: Ten Years of Research Johannes Müller I: Past Landscapes – Theories and Concepts The Disentanglement of Landscapes: Remarks on Concepts of Socio-Environmental Research and Landscape Archaeology Johannes Müller On Melting Grounds: Theories of the Landscape Antonia Davidovic Ritual and Landscape: Theoretical Considerations V.P.J.

Amsterdam University Press The Archaeology of South-East Italy in the First
Book SynopsisSynthesizing some 30 years of archaeological research in south-east Italy, this book discusses a millennium that witnessed breathtaking changes: the first millennium BC. In nine to ten centuries the Mediterranean societies changed from a great variety of mostly small entities of predominantly tribal nature into the enormous state currently indicated as the Roman Empire. This volume is a case study discussing the pathway to complexity of one of the regions that contributed to the formation of this large state:south-east Italy. It highlights how initially small groups developed into complex societies, how and why these adapted to increasingly wide horizons, and how and why Italic groups and migrants from the eastern Mediterranean interacted and created entirely new social, economic, cultural and physical landscapes. This synthesis is based on research carried out by many Italian archaeologists and by research groups from quite a variety of other countries.Amsterdam Archaeological Studies is a series devoted to the study of past human societies from the prehistory up into modern times, primarily based on the study of archaeological remains. The series will include excavation reports of modern fieldwork; studies of categories of material culture; and synthesising studies with broader images of past societies, thereby contributing to the theoretical and methodological debates in archaeology.

Amsterdam University Press Reading Memory Sites Through Signs: Hiding into
Book SynopsisWhat can space tell us about our past? Which stories do memory sites narrate? Which memories do they transmit? And, more importantly, how can we read their meanings? Semiotics can provide us with a homogeneous, shareable and theoretically sound methodology to analyse space within a comparable and common frame of reference for scholars of memory studies and traumatic heritage, as well as for historians, architects and museum curators. The book describes in clear and understandable language the main semiotic concepts that can be used to analyse space, illustrating them with carefully chosen case studies of memory spaces – monuments, museums, post-war urban restoration, filmed and virtual space – in order to show the applicability and efficacy of a semiotic methodology.Table of ContentsFor a Semiotics of Spaces of Memories Practices of Enunciation and Narratives from Monuments to Global Landscapes of Inheritance (Cristina Demaria and Patrizia Violi) 1 Stories that Shape Spatialities Lieu and Milieu de Mémoire through the Lens of Narrativity (Daniele Salerno) 2 Interpretation and Use of Memory How Practices Can Change the Meanings of Monuments (Mario Panico) 3 Uncomfortable Memories of Fascist Italy: The Case of Bigio of Brescia (Anna Maria Lorusso) 4 What Does Fascist Architecture Still Have to Tell Us?

Sidestone Press The Early Modern Zagori of Northwest Greece: An
Book SynopsisLandscape archaeology projects have had a significant impact on our understanding of the deep history of the Greek countryside, but have overwhelmingly been limited to the plains and have rarely placed the Ottoman period at their core. This investigation of Zagori in Northwest Greece explores the archaeology and cultural history of a mountainous area that famously thrived in the Ottoman period.This engagement with an upland region in the early modern period sheds light on previously neglected aspects of Greek landscape history. The inclusive methodology combines critical historiography, archival research, oral history and landscape-archaeological survey to achieve novel insights into this montane landscape and its distinctive history and cultural heritage.Contrary to the dominant nationalist historiography, it demonstrates the continuity of regional elites from the Byzantine to Ottoman period in Epirus and reveals how this shaped settlement patterns and elite/non-elite sedentary adaptations in this montane region. It also gives voice from within to the labour-intensive, engendered, cultural landscape of the Zagori peasantry and challenges the view of external scholarly observers that mountains support a predominantly pastoral way of life.Table of ContentsChapter One: Zagori today Chapter Two: An alternative version of history Chapter Three: Ottoman Archaeology in Greece Chapter Four: An Inclusive Dataset and Methodology Chapter Five: New realities. The local narrative, Ottoman historiography and archaeology Chapter Six: A topography of adaptations. Archaeological insights into the Zagori (14th-19th c.) Chapter Seven: Zagori through the 16th-century Ottoman imperial registers Chapter Eight: Non-elite landscapes Chapter Nine: Synthesis

ISEAS A View from the Highlands: Archaeology and
Book SynopsisThe highland of the Minangkabau community in Indonesia was the core area of the realm of Sumatra’s last Buddhist king, Adityavarman (c. 1347–75). An increasing socio-political integration, mentioned in his inscriptions, is marked by ceremonial architecture, changes of land use, and the establishment of an administration. Surveys and excavations have yielded new archaeological evidence that changes in settlement and socio-cultural patterns have occurred. New technology—metallurgy and an irrigation system—has also emerged. From the fourteenth century a territorial consolidation and increasing socio-economic complexity are evidenced, which initiated international trade and an incipient urbanisation process in this highland region.This book analyses the rise of the settlement system in the heartland of the Minangkabau region in the highlands of West Sumatra. It explores the regional settlement pattern arising from Adityavarman’s highland interregnum, and provides the first attempt to place the archaeological remains and the landscape of Tanah Datar, a fertile plain in the highlands of West Sumatra, in a cultural historic synthesis. The core of this research consisted of excavations at Bukit Gombak and Bukit Kincir. Bukit Gombak was a central place in Adityavarman’s kingdom, and provides evidence of the organisation and material development of this political entity. Surveys in the Tanah Datar plain provided evidence of other settlements that could be examined in relation to each other and to sites from earlier and later periods, and used to sketch out the settlement history of Tanah Datar from prehistoric times to the precolonial period. The book consists of detailed studies of metal, ceramics and glass finds by laboratory-based specialists as well as careful descriptions of stone, clay and other finds.
