Book Synopsis European Societies in the Bronze Age by : A. F. Harding
Download or read book European Societies in the Bronze Age written by A. F. Harding and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-05-18 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bronze Age, roughly 2500 to 750 BC, was the last fully prehistoric period in Europe and a crucial element in the formation of the Europe that emerged into history in the later first millennium BC. This book focuses on the material culture remains of the period, and through them provides an interpretation of the main trends in human development that occurred during this timespan. It pays particular attention to the discoveries and theoretical advances of the last twenty years that have necessitated a major revision of received opinions about many aspects of the Bronze Age. Arranged thematically, it reviews the evidence for a range of topics in cross-cultural fashion, defining which major characteristics of the period were universal and which culture and area-specific. The result is a comprehensive study that will be of value to specialists and students, while remaining accessible to the non-specialist.

Book Synopsis Personifying Prehistory by : Joanna Brück
Download or read book Personifying Prehistory written by Joanna Brück and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bronze Age is frequently framed in social evolutionary terms. Viewed as the period which saw the emergence of social differentiation, the development of long-distance trade, and the intensification of agricultural production, it is seen as the precursor and origin-point for significant aspects of the modern world. This book presents a very different image of Bronze Age Britain and Ireland. Drawing on the wealth of material from recent excavations, as well as a long history of research, it explores the impact of the post-Enlightenment 'othering' of the non-human on our understanding of Bronze Age society. There is much to suggest that the conceptual boundary between the active human subject and the passive world of objects, so familiar from our own cultural context, was not drawn in this categorical way in the Bronze Age; the self was constructed in relational rather than individualistic terms, and aspects of the non-human world such as pots, houses, and mountains were considered animate entities with their own spirit or soul. In a series of thematic chapters on the human body, artefacts, settlements, and landscapes, this book considers the character of Bronze Age personhood, the relationship between individual and society, and ideas around agency and social power. The treatment and deposition of things such as querns, axes, and human remains provides insights into the meanings and values ascribed to objects and places, and the ways in which such items acted as social agents in the Bronze Age world.

Book Synopsis A Modern Legal History of Treasure by : N.M. Dawson
Download or read book A Modern Legal History of Treasure written by N.M. Dawson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines treasure law and practice from the rise of the new science of archaeology in the early Victorian period to the present day. Drawing on largely-unexamined state records and other archives, the book covers several legal jurisdictions: England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland pre- and post-independence, and post-partition Northern Ireland. From the Mold gold cape (1833) to the Broighter hoard (1896), from Sutton Hoo (1939) to the Galloway hoard (2014), the law of treasure trove, and the Treasure Act 1996, are considered through the prism of notable archaeological discoveries, and from the perspectives of finders, landowners, archaeologists, museum professionals, collectors, the state, and the public. Literally and metaphorically, treasure law is revealed as a ground-breaking chapter in the history of the legal protection of cultural property and cultural heritage in Britain and Ireland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New History of Ireland is the largest scholarly project in modern Irish history. In 9 volumes, it provides a comprehensive new synthesis of modern scholarship on every aspect of Irish history and prehistory, from the earliest geological and archaeological evidence, through the Middle Ages, down to the present day. Volume I begins by looking at geography and the physical environment. Chapters follow that examine pre-3000, neolithic, bronze-age and iron-age Ireland and Ireland up to 800. Society, laws, church and politics are all analysed separately as are architecture, literature, manuscripts, language, coins and music. The volume is brought up to 1166 with chapters, amongst others, on the Vikings, Ireland and its neighbours, and opposition to the High-Kings. A final chapter moves further on in time, examining Latin learning and literature in Ireland to 1500.

Book Synopsis The Accomplished Art by : George Eogan
Download or read book The Accomplished Art written by George Eogan and published by Oxbow Books Limited. This book was released on 1994 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around 1500 gold objects from the British and Irish Bronze Age survive in collections today. Based on studies of these objects, this volume presents an evaluation and interpretation of the material in social terms, and is complemented by distribution maps and illustrations of typical examples of each class or sub-class in their own right, gold objects of the Bronze Age are also vital documents aiding our understanding not only of the work of craftsmen and technicians but also of the broader aspects of society such as social stratification, trade, commerce and ritual. After examining the natural and historical setting of British and Irish gold, this book looks at gold-working at four main periods during the Bronze Age: Beaker societies and the earliest insular gold objects; gold working in an age of industrial expansion and wealth; cultural transformation of the 13th-12th centuries BC; final late Bronze Age gold, apogee and end.
