Book excerpt: La notion d'� espace � est un concept cl� de la disciple arch�ologique. Les vestiges mobiliers ou immobiliers trouv�s en fouille sont les reflets mat�riels des aspects politiques, sociaux, �conomiques et culturels des populations �tudi�es. De fait, l'espace arch�ologique est socialement construit. L'agencement des vestiges dans l'espace t�moigne de l'organisation des lieux du quotidien, ce qui permet d'acc�der � des ensembles rev�tant une grande signification sociale, culturelle ou symbolique. Conceptualis�e selon plusieurs �chelles, notamment g�ographiques et chronologiques, la notion d'espace est un angle d'approche efficace permettant de f�d�rer des recherches provenant d'horizons divers et traitant de th�mes multiples. Le pr�sent ouvrage se propose d'analyser trois �chelles de l'espace cara�be (les espaces v�cus, entrelac�s et symboliques) � l'aide d'une vari�t� de recherches r�centes, traitant autant de la Cara�be pr�colombienne que de la p�riode coloniale. Pr�s de quarante auteurs internationaux, sp�cialistes reconnus de l'arch�ologie des Antilles et des Guyanes, se sont r�unis autour de ce projet. Les diff�rents chapitres du volume, r�dig�s indiff�remment en fran�ais ou en anglais, correspondent � autant d'�tudes de cas sp�cifiques, chacune illustrant une fa�on d'aborder cette notion d'espace en arch�ologie. Enfin de part sa richesse et sa vari�t� cet ouvrage nous offre aussi un panorama original sur les recherches actuelles en arch�ologie cara�be. Cependant, par del� cette diversit� apparente des contributions, nous avons choisi de tenter de fondre le pluriel en un singulier, de faire un sans pour autant faire pareil. L'int�r�t de cette approche nous semblait r�sider non seulement dans la coh�rence qu'elle offrait � l'ouvrage mais aussi dans le fait qu'elle constitue sans doute l'un des paradigmes fondamentaux des soci�t�s que nous nous proposions d'�tudier dans la longue dur�e. En cela, elle nous paraissait poser les bases d'une arch�ologie v�ritablement cara�be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Que sait-on des populations amérindiennes qui occupaient les Petites Antilles à l'arrivée des Européens, puis à l'époque coloniale ? Qui sont ces populations aux structures sociales, politiques et religieuses complexes ? D'où viennent-elles ? Quelles ont été leurs relations avec les acteurs de la conquête et de la colonisation européennes ? Souvent réduites à de simples éléments de décor des entreprises coloniales européennes ou considérées comme moyen d'appréhender les cultures indigènes avant l'arrivée des Européens, ces populations ont néanmoins une histoire.
Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology by : Christopher J. Knüsel
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology written by Christopher J. Knüsel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-29 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology spans the gap between archaeology and biological anthropology, the field and laboratory, and between francophone and anglophone funerary archaeological approaches to the remains of the dead and the understanding of societies, past and present. Interest in archaeothanatology has grown considerably in recent years in English-language scholarship. This timely publication moves away from anecdotal case studies to offer syntheses of archaeothanatological approaches with an eye to higher-level inferences about funerary behaviour and its meaning in the past. Written by francophone scholars who have contributed to the development of the field and anglophone scholars inspired by the approach, this volume offers detailed insight into the background and development of archaeothanatology, its theory, methods, applications, and its most recent advances, with a lexicon of related vocabulary. This volume is a key source for archaeo-anthropologists and bioarchaeologists. It will benefit researchers, lecturers, practitioners and students in biological anthropology, archaeology, taphonomy and forensic science. Given the interdisciplinary nature of these disciplines, and the emphasis placed on analysis in situ, this book will also be of interest to specialists in entomology, (micro)biology and soil science.

Book Synopsis Archaeological Investigations on Guadeloupe, French West Indies by : Martijn M. van den Bel
Download or read book Archaeological Investigations on Guadeloupe, French West Indies written by Martijn M. van den Bel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprising 20 scientific contributions to the archaeology of Guadeloupe, French West Indies, this volume places the latter Caribbean Island in the spotlight by presenting the results of four contemporaneous archaeological sites. By means of these four sites, this book explores a variety of issues contemplating the transition from the Early to the Late Ceramic Age in the Lesser Antilles. Studies of pre-Columbian material culture (ceramics, lithics, faunal, shell and human bone remains) are combined with additional microanalyses (starch and phytolith analyses, micromorphology and thin sections) to sort out the processes that triggered the cultural transition just before the end of the first millennium CE. The multidisciplinary approach to address these sites Saladoid shows the current state of affairs on project-led archaeology in the French West Indies and should be of great value to both researchers and students of Caribbean archaeology, material cultures, zooarchaeology, environmental studies, historical ecology, and other related fields.

Book Synopsis Blood is Thicker Than Water by : Alistair J. Bright
Download or read book Blood is Thicker Than Water written by Alistair J. Bright and published by Sidestone Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study represents a contribution to the pre-Colonial archaeology of the Windward Islands in the Caribbean. The research aimed to determine how the Ceramic Age (c. 400 BC - AD 1492) Amerindian inhabitants of the region related to one another and others at various geographic scales, with a view to better understanding social interaction and organisation within the Windward Islands as well the integration of this region within the macro-region. This research approached the study of intra- and inter-island interaction and social development through an island-by-island study of some 640 archaeological sites and their ceramic assemblages. Besides providing insight into settlement sequences, patterns and micro-mobility through time, it also highlighted various configurations of sites spread across different islands that were united by shared ceramic (decorative) traits. These configurations were more closely examined by taking recourse to graph-theory. By extending the comparative scope of this research to the Greater Antilles and the South American mainland, possible material cultural influences from more distant regions could be suggested. While Windward Island communities certainly developed a localised material cultural identity, they remained open to a host of wide-ranging influences outside the Windward Island micro-region. As such, rather than representing a cultural backwater operating in the periphery of a burgeoning Taíno empire, it is argued that Windward Island communities actively and flexibly realigned themselves with several mainland South American societies in Late Ceramic Age times (c. AD 700-1500), forging and maintaining significant ties and exchange relationships. Alistair Bright was a member of the Caribbean Research Group at Leiden University from 2003 to 2010 and participated in numerous archaeological surveys and excavations in the Caribbean during that time. His research interests include the archaeology, ethnohistory and ethnography of the Caribbean and South America, as well as the archaeology of island societies throughout the world in general.
Book Synopsis Historical Archaeologies of the Caribbean by : Todd M. Ahlman
Download or read book Historical Archaeologies of the Caribbean written by Todd M. Ahlman and published by Caribbean Archaeology and Ethn. This book was released on 2019 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New perspectives on Caribbean historical archaeology that go beyond the colonial plantation Historical Archaeologies of the Caribbean: Contextualizing Sites through Colonialism, Capitalism, and Globalism addresses issues in Caribbean history and historical archaeology such as freedom, frontiers, urbanism, postemancipation life, trade, plantation life, and new heritage. This collection moves beyond plantation archaeology by expanding the knowledge of the diverse Caribbean experiences from the late seventeenth through the mid-nineteenth centuries. The essays in this volume are grounded in strong research programs and data analysis that incorporate humanistic narratives in their discussions of Amerindian, freedmen, plantation, institutional, military, and urban sites. Sites include a sample of the many different types found across the Caribbean from a variety of colonial contexts that are seldom reported in archaeological research, yet constitute components essential to understanding the full range and depth of Caribbean history. Contributors examine urban contexts in Nevis and St. John and explore the economic connections between Europeans and enslaved Africans in urban and plantation settings in St. Eustatius. The volume contains a pioneering study of frontier exchange with Amerindians in Dominica and a synthesis of ceramic exchange networks among enslaved Africans in the Leeward Islands. Chapters on military forts in Nevis and St. Kitts call attention to this often-neglected aspect of the Caribbean colonial landscape. Contributors also directly address culture heritage issues relating to community participation and interpretation. On St. Kitts, the legacy of forced confinement of lepers ties into debates of current public health policy. Plantation site studies from Antigua and Martinique are especially relevant because they detail comparisons of French and British patterns of African enslavement and provide insights into how each addressed the social and economic changes that occurred with emancipation.

This book was released on 2020-07-26 with total page 1039 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Global Historical Archaeology is a multi-authored compendium of articles on specific topics of interest to today’s historical archaeologists, offering perspectives on the current state of research and collectively outlining future directions for the field. The broad range of topics covered in this volume allows for specificity within individual chapters, while building to a cumulative overview of the field of historical archaeology as it stands, and where it could go next. Archaeological research is discussed in the context of current sociological concerns, different approaches and techniques are assessed, and potential advances are posited. This is a comprehensive treatment of the sub-discipline, engaging key contemporary debates, and providing a series of specially-commissioned geographical overviews to complement the more theoretical explorations. This book is designed to offer a starting point for students who may wish to pursue particular topics in more depth, as well as for non-archaeologists who have an interest in historical archaeology. Archaeologists, historians, preservationists, and all scholars interested in the role historical archaeology plays in illuminating daily life during the past five centuries will find this volume engaging and enlightening.

Book Synopsis Teeth Tell Tales by : Hayley L. Mickleburgh
Download or read book Teeth Tell Tales written by Hayley L. Mickleburgh and published by Sidestone Press. This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Similar to the osteological study of prehistoric human remains, the study of human dental wear has been proven to afford a wealth of information on human cultural practices. This study is aimed at recording and understanding the dental wear patterns in human dentitions from the Caribbean archaeological sites of Anse la Gourde, located on the most eastern point of Guadeloupe, and Tutu located on the small island of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. The premise of this research is the assumption that dental wear patterns are informative of a great many aspects of human health and lifestyle. The use of the mouth and teeth in both masticatory and non-masticatory activities is assumed to leave traces which can be studied post-mortem to infer the lifestyle linked to such activities. In order to build a complete picture of these activities and the lifestyle linked to the dental wear patterns, other lines of evidence are also followed here, such as ethnohistoric and ethnographical accounts, and evidence from modern dentistry. Using this combination of different lines of evidence, it has been possible to characterize the diet and a range of cultural practices of the inhabitants at each site. The individuals selected in this sample very actively engaged their teeth in many non-masticatory, culturally defined activities, which put their dentitions under a great deal of stress. It seems these people's use of their mouths and teeth in this way was a very conscious decision, characterized by their cultural background.
Book Synopsis The Caribbean before Columbus by : William F. Keegan
Download or read book The Caribbean before Columbus written by William F. Keegan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The islands of the Caribbean are remarkably diverse, environmentally and culturally. They range from low limestone islands barely above sea level to volcanic islands with mountainous peaks; from large islands to small cays; from islands with tropical rainforests to those with desert habitats. Today's inhabitants have equally diverse culture histories. The islands are home to a mosaic of indigenous communities and to the descendants of Spanish, French, Dutch, English, Swedish, Danish, Irish, African, East Indian, Chinese, Syrian, Seminole and other nationalities who settled there during historic times. The islands are now being homogenized, all to create a standard experience for the Caribbean tourist. There is a similar attempt to homogenize the Caribbean's pre-Columbian past. It was assumed that every new prehistoric culture had developed out of the culture that preceded it. We now know that far more complicated processes of migration, acculturation, and accommodation occurred. Furthermore, the overly simplistic distinction between the "peaceful Arawak" and the "cannibal Carib," which forms the structure for James Michener's Caribbean, still dominates popular notions of precolonial Caribbean societies. This book documents the diversity and complexity that existed in the Caribbean prior to the arrival of Europeans, and immediately thereafter. The diversity results from different origins, different histories, different contacts between the islands and the mainland, different environmental conditions, and shifting social alliances. Organized chronologically, from the arrival of the first humans-the paleo-Indians-in the sixth millennium BC to early contact with Europeans, The Caribbean before Columbus presents a new history of the region based on the latest archaeological evidence. The authors also consider cultural developments on the surrounding mainland, since the islands' history is a story of mobility and exchange across the Caribbean Sea, and possibly the Gulf of Mexico and Florida Straits. The result is the most up-to-date and comprehensive survey of the richly complex cultures who once inhabited the six archipelagoes of the Caribbean.
