“Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 23Region: BentiuThis picture and bio was donated to the Lost Boys Found project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente
Megaliths, causewayed enclosures and social space in North Central Europe
No full textThis article summarises the results of several subprojects of the Priority Programme 1400 ‘Early Monumentality and Social Differentiation’. Under the overarching question of the development of the social space in the course of the first agricultural and stockbreeding society in southern Scandinavia, the sites Albersdorf/Dieksknöll, Büdelsdorf and Oldenburg Dannau are presented and their specific site biography is included in the supraregional developments. A trend can be traced in this context in which, due to increasing population numbers, narrowed strategic options and agglomerations of settlements, a narrowing of the social space is evolving with a climax of 3400-3100 cal BCE, which probably leads to the development of the single grave culture and thus a renewed opening of the social space due to the outbreak of some members of the Funnel Beaker societies
Honorable Emmanuel Okocha Oral History Interview
No full textThis is an oral history interview with the Honorable Emmanuel Okocha, author of Blood on the Niger, the only book about the Asaba Massacre, a mass killing of civilians which occurred in 1967 during the Nigerian Civil War. Okocha, a survivor of the massacre, was a small child at the time; his father was killed at Asaba, and two older brothers also died during the war. Okocha began researching the massacre after finishing his university studies, and has interviewed hundreds of survivors and relatives of those who were killed. He describes some of his research, the publication of his book, and his efforts to document the massacre
Emmanuel Cooper OBE 1938–2012 A Retrospective Exhibition
No full textDr Emmanuel Cooper OBE (HonDFA) 1938–2012 was a distinguished craftsman, writer, teacher and broadcaster. A potter of international standing, his work is represented in many public collections. The author of nearly thirty books, he was editor of Ceramic Review, visiting Professor at London’s Royal College of Art, and a regular broadcaster on television and radio. He was awarded an OBE in 2002 for services to art. Emmanuel’s contribution to the world of ceramics was hugely significant. This will be celebrated with a touring exhibition of his ceramics and a publication looking at his life in pots – produced by Ruthin Craft Centre in collaboration with the University of Derby

Étude technologique des gravures de Mané er Hroëk (Locmariaquer, Morbihan) : un nouveau cas de crosse transformée en hache dans l'art néolithique armoricain
No full textA large number of Armorican engravings were made by pecking. Each hammerstone impact caused the removal of a few square millimetres of rock, leaving a distinctive groove called a "flake negative ". When erosion by weathering has not been too severe, these flake negatives can be reproduced almost perfectly with careful shading. The technique consists of dampening the engraved wall before flattening very fine tissue paper over it. The latter is pushed deeply into the engraving with a rag, in the same way as for a moulding. Shading can then begin, using carbon paper and varying the direction of the strokes. Separating the different flake negatives is carried out thanks to colour contrast: the carbon settles better at the edge of where the matter was removed than in the hollow part. The negative flakes then appear with a white body surrounded by black, and their outlines can be drawn, using tracing paper placed over the shading. On supports particularly exposed to weathering, a preliminary granulometric study is necessary, in order to avoid any confusion between the natural washing away of grains and flake negatives of anthropic origin. The flake negatives are an authentic "percussion signature " which informs us about the gestures employed by the engraver. Whatever the nature of the rock, the variation of the angle of the hammerstone on the engraved rock face results in a change of form of the flake negative. For example, if the angle of the hammerstone approaches 45° in relation to the plane of the surface being engraved, the negative takes on a lengthened form; on the other hand, if the hammerstone approaches an angle of 90°, the negatives become as wide as they are long. According to the form of negative, the following typology is used: when the length of the negative is identical to the width, it is described as punctiform; when the ratio of length to width is greater than 2, the negative is classified as longilineal; and between these two extremes, when the ratio lies between 1 and 2, the negative is qualified as slightly longilineal. The percussion signature allows us to reconstitute the sequence of operations. Thanks to the morphological variability of the flake negatives, from which we can deduce the engraver s gestures, the successive stages of making the design can be defined. Finally, this study of percussion signatures makes it possible for us to identify cases of superposition or to show previously unperceived "repairs " or transformations. For example, the technological study of the engravings at Mané er Hroëk (Locmariaquer, Morbihan) showed the case of a crook transformed into a hafted axe. This method thus represents a new approach in developing a relative chronology of Neolithic engravings in Brittany.Un grand nombre de gravures armoricaines ont été réalisées par piquetage. Chaque impact du percuteur a provoqué un enlèvement de matière de quelques millimètres carrés en laissant un "négatif d'éclat ". Les négatifs d'éclats sont d'authentiques "signatures de percussion " qui renseignent sur les gestes employés par le graveur. La variation morphologique des négatifs d'éclats permet de restituer les différents gestes du graveur et de reconstituer ainsi la chaîne opératoire de taille. Enfin, l'étude des signatures de percussion permet d'identifier les cas de superpositions de gravures ou de démontrer des reprises, voire des transformations de signes jusqu 'à présent passées inaperçues. Par exemple, l'étude technologique des gravures de Mané er Hroëk (Locmariaquer, Morbihan) a montré l'exemple d'une crosse transformée en hache. Cette méthode constitue donc une nouvelle voie dans l'élaboration de la chronologie relative des représentations gravées du Néolithique armoricain.Mens Emmanuel.

Les industries à microlithes entre Loire et Vilaine : bilan et nouvelles perspectives de recherche
No full textAfter 30 years of research about Mesolithic between Loire and Vilaine, conclusions can be done, especially for technological and typological characteristics. Oldest phases of Mesolithic are most represented than récents. Old conception on late Mesolithic during Neolithic or cultural exception are not pertinent concepts to describe the Mesolithic of this non-isolated country. The analysis of lithic industry of la Petite-Île shows the technical diversity in western France, even on little flint pebbles.Le bilan des recherches sur le Mésolithique entre Loire et Vilaine réalisées depuis une trentaine d'années permet de mettre l'accent sur l'occupation dense au Mésolithique ancien et moyen, alors que les phases récentes et finales sont plus évanescentes. Le retard culturel et la prétendue exception régionale, qui ne prenaient pas en compte la position géographique ouverte de cette région ne sont plus des concepts pertinents. L'analyse du débitage du site de la Petite-Ile montre la diversité des méthodes et techniques utilisées dans l'ouest de la France sur les galets de silex de petites dimensions.Marchand Grégor, Gallais Jean-Yves, Mens Emmanuel.
