Experimental archaeology is a method to attempt to replicate archaeological artefacts and/or processes to test certain hypotheses or discover information about those artefacts and/ or processes. It has been a key part of archaeology for well over a century, but such experiments are often embedded in wider research, conducted in isolation or never published or reported. Experiments Past provides readers with a glimpse of experimental work and experience that was previously inaccessible due to language, geographic and documentation barriers, while establishing a historical context for the issues confronting experimental archaeology today. This volume contains formal papers on the history of experimental methodologies in archaeology, as well as personal experiences of the development of experimental archaeology from early leaders in the field, such as Hans-Ole Hansen. Experiments Past Also represented in these chapters are the histories of experimental approaches to taphonomy, the archaeology of boats, building structures and agricultural practices, as well as narratives on how experimental archaeology has developed on a national level in several European countries and its role in encouraging a wide-scale interest and Experiments Past engagement with the past.

From Silent Cultural Heritage to Active Social 269 Memory Lars Holten Histories of Experimental Archaeology Documenting the Past for the Future Roeland Paardekooper & Jodi Reeves Flores Reconstructing the past is an intricate task for archaeologists, who rely on a multitude of methods such as excavation, analysis of artefacts, the use of archives and historical texts, and developing analogies from multiple sources. Archaeology is filled with an experimental air. In the field, archaeologists have experimented with different excavation and recording practices, introducing new technology as it becomes available. In the laboratory, people experiment with different methods, techniques and materials; sometimes they replicate an archaeological item or process under controlled conditions. One method available to archaeologists is experimental archaeology; this involves the replication of artefacts or past processes in order to test falsifiable hypotheses or to gather data systematically. Just as with other archaeological research, the results of experimenting with the past have not always been shared or preserved. This leaves today’s researchers with a limited foundation of literature and data to build upon. This volume sheds light on the Figure 1: Group photo of participants from the History of Experimental Archaeology Conference, April 2013, Lejre (Photo: Viire Pajuste, 2013) paardekooper & reeves flores 7 historical application of this method with in archaeological research and provides increased access to the knowledge that people have gained about the past through experimental archaeology. Looking at the history of a discipline helps to form a holistic view, and it reminds us of forgotten ideas, discoveries and methods. Histories of academic disciplines and methods highlight the influences they have had on our understanding of the world. Through this process, histories of archaeology contribute to our understanding of both our past and our present (Wengrow 2003, 134). Additionally, our view of history can become warped over time. Laura Nadar has illustrated how new movements in anthropology can “…shake up the discipline and... obliterate disciplinary memory” (Nadar 2001, 613). It is possible for this to take place in archaeology, as well. The recognition of this ‘forgetfulness’ may be one of the reasons archaeologists have become so interested in their history over the past several decades. However, despite the plethora of studies concerning the history of archaeology (for examples, see Daniel 1975, Piggott 1989, Kehoe 1998, Trigger 2006, Rowley-Conwy 2007), few have focused on the history of experimental archaeology. By actively re-engaging with the history of experimental archaeology, we can identify the origins of many of our current practices, ideas and beliefs concerning the methodology, and evaluate their historical impact. Previous publications on the history of experimental archaeology Perhaps the most well-known history of experimental archaeology is included in John Coles’ Experimental Archaeology (1979). Since it was first published, Experimental Archaeology has been reprinted several times, the most recent being in 2010. This new addition includes a preface from Roeland Paardekooper in which he discusses the historical importance of the book as well as developments in experimental archaeology since its original publication. Before this, little English language literature on the subject was available, although there were at least two bibliographies on experimental archaeology. A Bibliography of Replicative Experiments in Archaeology (Graham et al. 1972) and Bibliography of Archaeology I: experiments, lithic technology and petrography (Hester and Heizer 1973) are two reference lists of works that contain imitative experiments or that discuss their use. In the 1973 bibliography, the section ‘Experiments and Replications’ extends over 14 pages, and the references are divided into five major classes. It has been noted that this publication played an important role in bringing experiments from journals and reports together in one place (Saraydar 2008). Today, there is an online bibliography of experimental archaeology available: the Bibliography on Experimental Archaeology, Education and Archaeological Open-Air Museums (Paardekooper 2014). The bibliography stores references on experimental archaeology as well as re-enactment, archaeological education, and archaeological open-air museums. The database builds on several ongoing publications as well as other bibliographies and journals that are no longer in production. The initial source for the online collection was a printed German bibliography titled Bibliographie zur Experimentellen Archäologie, which included 8 experiments past over 2,000 titles. In addition to this, Paardekooper has added about 8,000 references relevant to experimental archaeology and archaeological open-air museums from other sources such as the Archaeological Textiles Newsletter, the Bulletin of Primitive Technology, Experimentelle Archäologie in Deutschland/in Europa, the Bulletin voor Archeologische Experimenten en Educatie, and EuroREA

The earliest and most complete reference to this deity can be seen in Vedic texts from 1500 BCE. Documentary evidence in rock art, and sixth century BCE Tartessian inscriptions demonstrate that the ancient Celtic world saw this deity of the land as a Horse Queen that ruled the land and granted fertility. Evidence suggests that she could grant sovereignty rights to humans by uniting with them (literally or symbolically), through ingestion, or intercourse. The Horse Queen is represented, or alluded to in such divergent areas as Bronze Age English hill figures, Celtic coinage, Roman horse deities, mediaeval and modern Celtic masked traditions. Even modern Welsh traditions, such as the Mari Lwyd, infer her existence and confirm the value of her symbolism in the modern world. 2 Lyle Tompsen, Student Number 28001102, Masters Dissertation Table of Contents List of definitions: ............................................................................................................ 8 Introduction ..................................................................................................................

  • The Reception of Palaeolithic Art at the Turn of the Twentieth Century: Between Archaeology and Art History
    The reception of Palaeolithic art at the turn of the twentieth century: between archaeology and art history Oscar Moro Abadía If I am asked to define any further what I mean by ‘the primitive’ I must refer the reader to the pages of this book, which will show that the term was associated in its time with early Greek vases, with quattrocento painting and with tribal art.1 These words by Ernst Gombrich summarize some of the main meanings associated with the term ‘primitive’ in the field of art history. In its original sense, the word refers to a movement of taste that, in the story of art, runs parallel to the progress towards naturalism. According to Gombrich, while art history may be described as the story of how ‘the artist got better and better in the imitation of nature’,2 there have been a number of artistic movements that have called for a deliberate abandonment of classical standards.3 This ‘preference for the primitive’ has been expressed in ‘the revulsion from that very perfection that art had been said to aim at’.4 During the last years of the nineteenth century, the theory of evolution ‘gave a new meaning to the term ‘primitive’ which […] came to denote the beginnings of human civilization’.5 As a result of this development, the term ‘primitive art’ was incorporated into art historians’ vocabulary to refer to a set of non-Western arts coming from Africa, America and Oceania.6 At the beginning of the twentieth century, ‘primitive art’ was used interchangeably with terms such as ‘savage art’, ‘tribal art’ and ‘art nègre’.7 Since then, the label has been intensively criticized for Acknowledgements.

After one week of extensive lectures at the college and one week of touring major archaeological sites of the area, five other American students and I spent two and one­ half weeks at the Claydon Pike excavation near Fairford, Gloucestershire. During our stay at the dig the excavation director, Dr. David Miles, and the assistant director~ - Simon Palmer, both of Oxford University and the Oxfordshire Archaeological Unit, delivered several lectures on the Iron A~e, Claydon Pike, and other excavations in the area that dated from the same period.

The reports are listed by subdiscipline, then geographic area (where applicable) and in alphabetical order. A Bibliography of Publications resulting from Foundation-supported research (reported over the same period) follows, along with an Index of Grantees Reporting Completed Research. ARCHAEOLOGY Africa: DR. JAMIE LYNN CLARK, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Alaska, received a grant in April 2013 to aid research on “The Sibudu Fauna: Implications for Understanding Behavioral Variability in the Southern African Middle Stone Age.” This project sought to gain a deeper understanding of human behavioral variability during the Middle Stone Age through the analysis of the Still Bay (SB; ~71,000 ya) and pre-SB (>72,000 ya) fauna from Sibudu Cave. In addition to characterizing variation in human hunting behavior within and between the two periods, the project had two larger goals. First, to explore whether the data were consistent with hypotheses linking the appearance of the SB to environmental change. No significant changes in the relative frequency of open vs. closed dwelling species were identified, with species preferring closed habitats predominant throughout. This suggests that at Sibudu, the onset of the SB was not correlated with climate change. Secondly, data collected during this project will be combined with lithic and faunal data from later deposits at Sibudu in order to explore the relationship between subsistence and technological change spanning from the pre-SB through the post-Howiesons Poort MSA (~58,000 ya).

January 2018 Thessaloniki - Greece Abstract This dissertation was written as part of the MA in Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean Studies at the International Hellenic University. The aim of this dissertation is to collect as much information as possible on agricultural practices in Macedonia from prehistory to Roman times and examine them within their social and cultural context. Chapter 1 will offer a general introduction to the aims and methodology of this thesis. This chapter will also provide information on the geography, climate and natural resources of ancient Macedonia from prehistoric times. We will them continue with a concise social and cultural history of Macedonia from prehistory to the Roman conquest. This is important in order to achieve a good understanding of all these social and cultural processes that are directly or indirectly related with the exploitation of land and agriculture in Macedonia through time. In chapter 2, we are going to look briefly into the origins of agriculture in Macedonia and then explore the most important types of agricultural products (i.e.

Using archaeological and osteological evidence from the region between the Pindos mountains and Evros river in northern Greece, this study examines the formation of death rituals, the role of landscape in the emergence of cemeteries, and expressions of social identities against the backdrop of diachronic change and synchronic variation. I draw on a rich and diverse record of mortuary practices to examine the co-existence of cremation and inhumation rites from the beginnings of farming in the Neolithic period
