Bronze Age Wayfaring and the monumentalised landscape
No full textChapter building on geographic mobilities theory and archaeological landscape studies to reevaluate the placement of bronze age burial mounds. This is based in my ongoing fieldwork in Cornwall (Supported by a DECRA) and an output linked to my DP 'Beyond migration and diffusion'.The work was funded by the Research School of Humanities and the Arts, Australian National University, and an Australian Research Council DECRA DE170100464 ('Conservatism as a dynamic response to the diffusion of innovations')
Making a point: Re-evaluating British flint daggers in their cultural and technological contexts
No full textMigration Narratives in Archaeology
No full textMigration is not just a recent, crisis-driven phenomenon, but a fundamental part of human life - and has always been so. This booklet is aimed at everyone who is interested in human migration in the past. In short texts, we first deconstruct twelve common migration stereotypes which are often encountered in both scholarly texts and other media, such as news reports. While most of our texts are written from an archaeological perspective, they also impact how we see migration in the present. For example, are migrations always violent? What is the demographic impact of migrations? How does migration change both migrants and welcoming societies? A second section explains five common archaeological and scientific methods used to trace past migrations, for example ancient DNA (aDNA), isotopic analysis, and archaeological sourcing methods. In a final part, we present seven selected case studies from the European prehistoric past, from the Stone Age to the early medieval Migration Period. Each text is accompanied by a lavish illustration which functions as a trigger for critical reflection in its own right - whether by provoking laughter, presenting alternative narratives, or inviting emotional responses. The volume also contains a series preface, an introduction, and suggestions for further reading. Enjoy
Catherine J. Frieman. an archaeology of innovation: approaching social and technological change in human society
No full textInnovation and change are some of the most recurrent themes addressed not only in archaeological research but also through social, economic, environmental, or biological sciences (among others). This interest can be justified since transitional moments are those which we usually know least, or because they are traditionally seen as structural in our shared past, and crucial for understanding the social trajectories that came afterwards. These transformative episodes have primarily been approached through a ‘scientific’ and even political lens that leads to sometimes direct transpositions from current points of view to the past. Only more recently have social considerations that try to accomplish archaeology’s primary goal— which includes understanding the practices
of past individuals and communities, materialities, or biographies—been fruitfully explored. An Archaeology of
Innovation by Catherine J. Frieman succeeds, in an exceptionally easy to read and sometimes humorous way, in giving us an overview of different approaches to innovation, combining them from an archaeological perspective, and backing them up with multiple theories and examples fromdifferent times and regions. What this book provides is an updated archaeological take on the study of innovation, change, and resistance in the past and present, not reducing these subjects to ‘“Do-Need” fra meworks’ (p. 159), but instead highlighting archaeology’s social nature.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Survival, Social Cohesion and Rock Art: The Painted Hands of Western Arnhem Land, Australia
No full textThis paper explores the complex story of a particular style of rock art in western Arnhem Land known as ‘Painted Hands’. Using new evidence from recent fieldwork, we present a definition for their style, distribution and place in the stylistic chronologies of this region. We argue these motifs played an important cultural role in Aboriginal society during the period of European settlement in the region. We explore the complex messages embedded in the design features of the Painted Hands, arguing that they are more than simply hand stencils or markers of individuality. We suggest that these figures represent stylized and intensely encoded motifs with the power to communicate a high level of personal, clan and ceremonial identity at a time when all aspects of Aboriginal cultural identity were under threat.Sally K.
