Download or read book Tell El Hesi written by Lawrence Toombs and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 1985-10-31 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tell el-Hesi site comprises a 25-acre walled city from the Early Bronze III period. It is located on the southeastern edge of the Mediterranean coastal plain, 26 km northeast of Gaza in Israel. Tell el-Hesi was the first Palestinian site at which the principles of ceramic chronology and of stratigraphic excavation were applied and at which the relationship between pottery and stratigraphy was shown to be significant. In 1890 W.M. Flinders Petrie excavated at Hesi and produced a general picture of its occupational history. In 1891-92, F.J. Bliss excavated stratigraphically through each successive level of the mound and identified eleven occupational levels which he grouped into eight strata or "cities". In 1970, The Joint Archaeological Expedition to Tell el-Hesi, sponsored by the American Schools of Oriental Research and a consortium of educational institutions, entered the site with the objectives of investigating in greater detail and with more refined methods the stratigraphic divisions identified by Petrie and Bliss. This book appears as the second volume in the Joint Expedition's series of final publications regarding their field experience and findings. The presence of Strata I and II, the modern military trenching, and the Muslim cemetery, combined to force the Joint Expedition to an important archaeological decision. Both strata belong to the modern period and fall into the vaguely defined category of 'historical archaeology'. Strata of this kind are frequently disregarded in the excavation and reporting of Near Eastern sites. However, the decision was made to excavate these strata with the same detail as the more ancient levels of the mound. This decision launched a pioneering effort in the archaeology of the Palestine area, and necessitated the development of new excavation and recording techniques. The aim of this report is to present in an organized form all the data on Strata I and II gathered by the expedition; to analyze this data; to offer cultural conclusions; and to compare the results in a preliminary way with the data from other sites and with the published work of other anthropologists.

Book Synopsis England under the Norman and Angevin Kings by : Robert Bartlett
Download or read book England under the Norman and Angevin Kings written by Robert Bartlett and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-08-08 with total page 830 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lively and far-reaching account of the politics, religion, and culture of England in the century and a half after the Norman Conquest provides a vivid picture of everyday existence, and increases our understanding of all aspects of medieval society. This was a period in which the ruling dynasty and military aristocracy were deeply enmeshed with the politics and culture of France. Professor Bartlett describes their conflicts, and their preoccupations - the sense of honour, the role of violence, and the glitter of tournament, heraldry, and Arthurian romance. He explores the mechanics of government; assesses the role of the Church at a time of radical developments in religious life and organization; and investigates the peasant economy, the foundation of this society, and the growing urban and commercial activity. There are colourful details of the everyday life of ordinary men and women, with their views on the past, on sexuality, on animals, on death, the undead, and the occult. The result is a fascinating and comprehensive portrayal of a period which begins with conquest and ends in assimilation.

Book Synopsis Place Meaning and Attachment by : Dak Kopec
Download or read book Place Meaning and Attachment written by Dak Kopec and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revolutions have gripped many countries, leading to the destruction of buildings, places, and artifacts; climate change is threatening the ancestral homes of many, the increasingly uneven distribution of resources has made the poor vulnerable to the coercive efforts by the rich, and social uncertainty has led to the romanticizing of the past. Humanity is resilient, but we have a fundamental need for attachment to places, buildings, and objects. This edited volume will explore the different meanings and forms of place attachment and meaning based on our histories and conceptualization of material artifacts. Each chapter examines a varied relationship between a given society and the meaning formed through myth, symbols, and ideologies manifested through diverse forms of material artifacts. Topics of consideration examine place attachment at many scales including at the level of the artifact, human being, building, urban context, and region. We need a better understanding of human relationships to the past, our attachments to the events and places, and to the external influences on our attachments. This understanding will allow for better preservation methods pertaining to important places and buildings, and enhanced social wellbeing for all groups of people. Covering a broad range of international perspectives on place meaning from the United States to Europe, Asia to Russia, and Africa to Australia, this book is an essential read for students, academics, and professionals alike.
