  • Bronze Age Tell Communities in Context: an Exploration Into Culture
    Bronze Age Tell Kienlin This study challenges current modelling of Bronze Age tell communities in the Carpathian Basin in terms of the evolution of functionally-differentiated, hierarchical or ‘proto-urban’ society Communities in Context under the influence of Mediterranean palatial centres. It is argued that the narrative strategies employed in mainstream theorising of the ‘Bronze Age’ in terms of inevitable social ‘progress’ sets up an artificial dichotomy with earlier Neolithic groups. The result is a reductionist vision An exploration into culture, society, of the Bronze Age past which denies continuity evident in many aspects of life and reduces our understanding of European Bronze Age communities to some weak reflection of foreign-derived and the study of social types – be they notorious Hawaiian chiefdoms or Mycenaean palatial rule. In order to justify this view, this study looks broadly in two directions: temporal and spatial. First, it is asked European prehistory – Part 1 how Late Neolithic tell sites of the Carpathian Basin compare to Bronze Age ones, and if we are entitled to assume structural difference or rather ‘progress’ between both epochs. Second, it is examined if a Mediterranean ‘centre’ in any way can contribute to our understanding of Bronze Age tell communities on the ‘periphery’. It is argued that current Neo-Diffusionism has us essentialise from much richer and diverse evidence of past social and cultural realities. Tobias L. Kienlin Instead, archaeology is called on to contribute to an understanding of the historically specific expressions of the human condition and human agency, not to reduce past lives to abstract stages on the teleological ladder of social evolution.

  • Feeding Villages: Foraging and Farming Across Neolithic Landscapes
    Feeding Villages: Foraging and farming across Neolithic landscapes by Matthew V. Kroot A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in the University of Michigan 2014 Dissertation Committee: Professor Henry T. Wright, Chair Professor Daniel C. Fisher Professor Kent V. Flannery Professor Ian Kuijt, Notre Dame University Professor Joyce Marcus ©Matthew V. Kroot 2014 Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to Robin G. Nelson. ii Acknowledgments There are two parts to this dissertation work, the first being the research and the second being the writing. I would like to thank all those who labored in the field and in the lab with me to make the ‘Assal-Dhra’ Archaeological Project (ADAP) – the research program through which all the primary data of this dissertation has been derived – possible. This includes Chantel White, my co-director in the first year, as well as the paleo-environmental specialist for the duration of the project and Eliza Wallace, the project’s GIS specialist. In the first year the survey and surface collections could never have been completed without Joshua Wright who essentially designed the methodologies that we used. Additionally, Phil Graham provided enthusiastic and valuable work during this first season. Our Department of Antiquities representative, Rami Freihat, helped with fieldwork and field life in countless ways. In the second season, I had the pleasure of working with two very helpful members of the Department of Antiquities: Jamal Safi, who helped map the site of al-Khayran, and Khaled Tarawneh, who worked tirelessly for ADAP both in the field and in the bureaucracy.

  • The Early Neolithic Tor Enclosures of Southwest Britain
    The Early Neolithic Tor Enclosures of Southwest Britain By Simon R.

Abstract Along with causewayed enclosures, the tor enclosures of Cornwall and Devon represent the earliest enclosure of large open spaces in Britain and are the earliest form of surviving non-funerary monument. Their importance is at least as great as that of causewayed enclosures, and it might be argued that their proposed associations with settlement, farming, industry, trade and warfare indicate that they could reveal more about the Early Neolithic than many causewayed enclosure sites. Yet, despite being recognised as Neolithic in date as early as the 1920s, they have been subject to a disproportionately small amount of work. Indeed, the southwest, Cornwall especially, is almost treated like another country by many of those studying the Early Neolithic of southern Britain. When mentioned, this region is more likely to be included in studies of Ireland and the Irish Sea zone than studies concerning England.

  • The Digventures Platform
    journal of computer Wilkins, B. 2020. Designing a Collaborative Peer-to-peer System for applications in archaeology Archaeology: The DigVentures Platform. Journal of Computer Applications in Archaeology, 3(1), pp. 33–50. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/jcaa.34 RESEARCH ARTICLE Designing a Collaborative Peer-to-peer System for Archaeology: The DigVentures Platform Brendon Wilkins Digital technologies are ubiquitous in archaeology, and have been argued to improve workflows across the archaeological knowledge chain; but to what extent have digital tools materially changed the nature of archaeological scholarship or the role of archaeologists in knowledge production? This paper compares a traditional ‘pipeline’ with a networked ‘platform’ model of fieldwork, assessing the impact of technology- enabled participation on archaeology’s disciplinary and professional boundaries. In contrast to the col- laborative potential of peer-to-peer systems, the current vogue for intra-site digital tools (such as tablet recording, GIS, and 3D technologies) can be seen to augment rather than reinvent pre-digital workflows. This point will be illustrated through an assessment of the UK based collaborative platform, DigVentures, in contrast with recent high-profile initiatives to transition to digital workflows by other established field projects. Evaluated through the lens of Nesta’s recent typology of platform organisations in the ‘collaborative economy’, it will model the underlying dynamics of peer-to-peer interaction by utilising the ‘Platform Design Toolkit’, considered alongside a worked project example and assessment of digital web analytics of the DigVentures platform. It will finally consider how a peer-to-peer system is experienced by scholars themselves, and the changing role of the archaeologist in a system that shifts the locus of work beyond the physical limits of an organisation, to open up the archaeological process to anyone who chooses to participate.

  • CHAPTER 2 Neolithic and Bronze AGE Pembrokeshire
    CHAPTER 2 NEOLithic AND BronZE AGE PembroKeshire By Timothy Darvill and Geoffrey Wainwright INTRODUCTION his chapter tells the story of Pembrokeshire between about 4000 BC and 700 BC, a remote period of more than 3000 years when life was quite different from that of more recent times. It is conventionally referred to asT the Neolithic (4000–2000 BC), early Bronze Age (2000–1600 BC), middle Bronze Age (1600–1000 BC), and late Bronze Age (1000–700 BC), although advances in radiocarbon dating over recent decades provide a secure chrono- logical framework that now allows us to talk in terms of specific millennia and centuries. What we present here is a summary based on currently available archaeological evidence that has survived to be described, investigated, studied, and interpreted by prehistorians and other specialists working in related fields. There are no written records to help us in this task; all we have to go on are the lumps, bumps, structures, monuments, deposits, and stray finds that survive in the modern landscape. Some remains, for example the Pentre Ifan mega- lithic tomb (Figure 2.1) and the Gors Fawr stone circle (Figure 2.3), are truly spectacular in their form and setting, and have long been recognized as tourist destinations and places for spiritual nourishment through their connections with the distant past. Other sites and finds may seem less impressive, but their contri- bution to understanding prehistory is no less important. Modern Pembrokeshire covers an ancient peninsular projecting into the Atlantic Ocean, flanked on the south by the Bristol Channel and on the north by St George’s Channel.

  • Dartmoor: a Landscape Study Peter Kamilo Klemen Submitted for the Degree of Phd University College London
    Dartmoor: A Landscape Study Peter Kamilo Klemen Submitted for the Degree of PhD University College London 1 Declaration “I confirm that all the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis.” 2 Dartmoor: A Landscape Study Focus and aims At the heart of Devon in the southwest of England lies Dartmoor, a large expanse of high moorland and rocky tors. Anyone who has visited Dartmoor or seen photographs and read about it will have their own personal images and feelings for the place, which will be as varied as the landscape. Over recent years landscape approaches have adopted strategies to understand how people experience and perceive the landscape that surrounds them (Ingold 2000, Thomas 1999, Tilley 1994). Phenomenology attempts to reveal the world as it actually is experienced by the subject as opposed to how we might theoretically assume it to be (Tilley 2004a). Writers such as Casey (1996, 2000, 2001, 2008), himself influenced by Merleau-Ponty, consider the body as vital and fundamental in perceiving, understanding and familiarising oneself with the landscape. Issues of memory, place, attachment and cosmology are nested within the landscape and remains of human activity, both past and present. Anthropology has demonstrated how peoples’ understanding and perception of the landscape structures moral codes and practice (Basso 1996) and kinship affiliation and re-negotiation (Gow 1996). Therefore, the focus of this study is to understand how peoples’ experiences in the Bronze Age and in the present were/are structured by the landscape characteristics (topography, geology) of Dartmoor.
