Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sur le territoire amazonien, la céramique représente un vestige essentiel de la reconstitution du passé amérindien, il est indispensable d'en extraire le maximum d'informations. Sur le littoral de Guyane, l'analyse technologique de la production céramique pourrait permettre l'interprétation de ce matériel en termes d'organisation politique, économique et socio-culturelle. La méthodologie mise en oeuvre vise, dans un premier temps, à élaborer un référentiel de traces diagnostiques des techniques et méthodes de façonnage et de finition. Dans un second temps, les assemblages céramiques de neuf sites du littoral de Guyane ont été examinés selon une procédure d'analyse permettant de reconstituer la chaîne opératoire de fabrication de la céramique. Ce type d'analyse a permis, entre autres, de s'interroger sur la signification de la variabilité des assemblages céramiques des sites étudiés et d'appréhender des entités archéologiques connues, notamment la tradition arauquinoïde, comme sphères d'interaction au sein desquelles des groupes culturels s'articuleraient en un réseau complexe d'échanges de biens, de personnes, de techniques et d'idées.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans cette étude, nous avons choisi de revenir sur la céramique de tradition Arauquinoïde du littoral de Guyane française. Vestige essentiel de la reconstitution du passé amérindien, il est indispensable d'en extraire le maximum d'informations. La recherche, d'un point de vue technologique, de l'homogénéité ou de l'hétérogénéité de la production céramique des cultures arauquinoïdes pourrait répondre à la question de l'existence d'un ensemble culturel et politique sous-jacent à la tradition définie par l’archéologie. La méthodologie mise en oeuvre vise, dans un premier temps, à élaborer un référentiel de macro-traces diagnostiques des techniques et méthodes de façonnage et de finition. Dans un deuxième temps, les assemblages céramiques de neuf sites du littoral de Guyane ont été examinés selon une procédure d’analyse permettant de reconstituer la chaîne opératoire de fabrication de la céramique. Site par site, ce type d’analyse a permis, entre autres, de proposer de nouvelles hypothèses de spécialisation de sites. La tradition Arauquinoïde correspondrait à une sphère d’interaction au sien de laquelle des groupes culturels s’articuleraient en un réseau complexe d’échanges de biens, de personnes, de techniques et d’idées.

Book Synopsis Archaeological Perspectives on the French in the New World by : Elizabeth M. Scott
Download or read book Archaeological Perspectives on the French in the New World written by Elizabeth M. Scott and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book has essentially created a new field of study with a surprising range of insights on the ethnicity, class, gender, and foodways of French speakers of European and African descent adapting to life under British, Spanish, or American political regimes."--Gregory A. Waselkov, author of A Conquering Spirit: Fort Mims and the Redstick War of 1813-1814 "Significant and intriguing. Strengthens the view that French colonists and their descendants are an important part of American heritage and that the worlds they created are significant to our understanding of modern life."--John A. Walthall, editor of French Colonial Archaeology: The Illinois Country and the Western Great Lakes Correcting the notion that French influence in the Americas was confined mostly to Québec and New Orleans, this collection reveals a wide range of vibrant French-speaking communities both during and long after the end of French colonial rule. This volume highlights the complexity of Francophone societies, the persistence of their cultural traditions, and the innovative means they employed to cope with the cultural and environmental demands of living in the New World. Analyzing artifacts including clay pipes, colonoware, and food remains alongside a rich body of historical records, contributors focus on how French descendants impacted North America, the Caribbean, and South America even after 1763. Taken together, the essays argue that communities do not need to be located in French colonies or contain French artifacts to be considered Francophone, and they show that many Francophone groups were composed of a mix of ethnic French, Métis, Native Americans, and African Americans. The contributors emphasize the important roles that French colonists and their descendants have played in New World histories. Elizabeth M. Scott, former associate professor of anthropology at Illinois State University, is the editor of Those of Little Note: Gender, Race, and Class in Historical Archaeology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays explores historical and conceptual locations of Guyane, as a relational space characterised by dynamics of interaction and conflict. Does Guyane have, or has it had, its own place in the world, or is it a borderland which can only make sense in relation to elsewhere?
Book Synopsis Handbook of South American Archaeology by : Helaine Silverman
Download or read book Handbook of South American Archaeology written by Helaine Silverman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-04-06 with total page 1172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the contributions of South American archaeology to the larger field of world archaeology have been inadequately recognized. If so, this is probably because there have been relatively few archaeologists working in South America outside of Peru and recent advances in knowledge in other parts of the continent are only beginning to enter larger archaeological discourse. Many ideas of and about South American archaeology held by scholars from outside the area are going to change irrevocably with the appearance of the present volume. Not only does the Handbook of South American Archaeology (HSAA) provide immense and broad information about ancient South America, the volume also showcases the contributions made by South Americans to social theory. Moreover, one of the merits of this volume is that about half the authors (30) are South Americans, and the bibliographies in their chapters will be especially useful guides to Spanish and Portuguese literature as well as to the latest research. It is inevitable that the HSAA will be compared with the multi-volume Handbook of South American Indians (HSAI), with its detailed descriptions of indigenous peoples of South America, that was organized and edited by Julian Steward. Although there are heroic archaeological essays in the HSAI, by the likes of Junius Bird, Gordon Willey, John Rowe, and John Murra, Steward states frankly in his introduction to Volume Two that “arch- ology is included by way of background” to the ethnographic chapters.

Book Synopsis Ceramics and Society by : Valentine Roux
Download or read book Ceramics and Society written by Valentine Roux and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-14 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pottery is the most ubiquitous find in most historical archaeological excavations and serves as the basis for much research in the discipline. But it is not only its frequency that makes it a prime dataset for such research, it is also that pottery embeds many dimensions of the human experience, ranging from the purely technical to the eminently symbolic. The aim of this book is to provide a cutting-edge theoretical and methodological framework, as well as a practical guide, for archaeologists, students and researchers to study ceramic assemblages. As opposed to the conventional typological approach, which focuses on vessel shape and assumed function with the main goal of establishing a chronological sequence, the proposed framework is based on the technological approach. Such an approach utilizes the concept of chaîne opératoire, which is geared to an anthropological interpretation of archaeological objects. The author offers a sound theoretical background accompanied by an original research strategy whose presentation is at the heart of this book. This research strategy is presented in successive chapters that are geared to explain not only how to study archaeological assemblages, but also why the proposed methods are essential for achieving ambitious interpretive goals. In the heated debate on the equation stating that “pots equal people”, which is a rather fuzzy reference to assumed relationships between (mostly) ethnic groups and pottery, technology enables us to propose with conviction the equation “pots equal potters”. In this way, a well-founded history of potters is able to achieve a much better cultural and anthropological understanding of ancient societies.

Book Synopsis Islands in the Rainforest by : Stéphen Rostain
Download or read book Islands in the Rainforest written by Stéphen Rostain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stéphen Rostain’s book is a culmination of 25 years of research on the extensive human modification of the wetlands environment of Guiana and how it reshapes our thinking of ancient settlement in lowland South America and other tropical zones. Rostain demonstrates that populations were capable of developing intensive raised-field agriculture, which supported significant human density, and construct causeways, habitation mounds, canals, and reservoirs to meet their needs. The work is comparative in every sense, drawing on ethnology, ethnohistory, ecology, and geography; contrasting island Guiana with other wetland regions around the world; and examining millennia of pre-Columbian settlement and colonial occupation alike. Rostain’s work demands a radical rethinking of conventional wisdom about settlement in tropical lowlands and landscape management by its inhabitants over the course of millennia.
Download or read book French Guiana written by Janet Crane and published by Oxford, England : Clio Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French Guiana lies on the north coast of South America, with Suriname to the west and Brazil to the south and east. French occupation began in the early seventeenth century. After brief periods of Dutch, English and Portuguese rule, the territory was confirmed as French in 1817. The colony steadily declined, after a short period of prosperity in the 1850s as a result of the discovery of gold. French Guiana, including the notorious Devil's Island, was used as a penal colony until 1937, and the territory became an Overseas Department of France in 1946. This bibliography, containing some 500 entries, brings together, for the first time, the most important French and English publications concerning French Guiana.

Book Synopsis Histoire et archéologie de la Guyane française by : Egle Barone-Visigalli
Download or read book Histoire et archéologie de la Guyane française written by Egle Barone-Visigalli and published by Ibis Rouge. This book was released on 2010 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le programme d'archéologie coloniale mené sur les habitations jésuites de Saint-Régis et Le Maripa a révélé l'histoire d'une partie de la région de Roura allant de 1668 à nos jours. Ces habitations servirent à financer la mission d'évangélisation des Amérindiens, objectif principal des jésuites, mais aussi à asseoir un pouvoir politique et spirituel touchant libres et esclaves. Ces sites furent d'ailleurs le théâtre de l'essai d'émancipation des esclaves imaginé par le marquis de Lafayette. Le rôle des jésuites dans la recherche agronomique a été en effet de toute première importance. Leur conception moderne de l'agriculture et leurs connaissances techniques ont propulsé les habitations gérées par l'Ordre à la tête de l'économie coloniale. Ces habitants modernes et efficaces réalisent d'imposants travaux agricoles et hydrauliques (réseaux de canaux, écluses, digues, terrassements d'envergure). Des Amérindiens, ils apprennent la culture sur brûlis et exploitent la grande surface de leurs concessions de façon itinérante, en couplant la technologie moderne au savoir agricole traditionnel. Leurs choix économiques, opérés sur des concessions qui s'étendaient sur plusieurs centaines d'hectares, produisirent un fort impact sur l'environnement, visible encore aujourd'hui.

Book Synopsis Archéologie et histoire du Sinnamary du XVIIe au XXe s. (Guyane) by : Olivier Puaux
Download or read book Archéologie et histoire du Sinnamary du XVIIe au XXe s. (Guyane) written by Olivier Puaux and published by Maison des Sciences de l'Homme. This book was released on 1997 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of the dam at Petit Saut by Électricité de France in the French Guyane gave place to an important archaeological rescue operation. Carried out from 1990 to 1995, this was the largest ever programme for an overseas French department of which the history was scarcely known. This volume represents the results of these researches in the Sinnamary river basin for the last four centuries of our millenium. Based on archives, travellers tales, old maps and archaeological work, this study brings new elements to the history of this part of South America : the formation of the colony during the 17th and 18th centuries, its settlement, its economy and material culture. With the development of gold production from the 19th century, the Guyane appears to be another California. The jail at Saut Tigre was created in 1933 for Indochinese prisoners who worked on development projects in the Inini territory up until 1944. This work contains an important dictionary of place-names which constitutes a documentary source without precedent. A second volume will soon be consecrated to the Amerindian sites discovered during the same operation.
