This article considers how gender operated in the Linearbandkeramik (LBK, c. 5500–5000 cal. BC), the first farming culture of central Europe. A new theoretical approach is developed from the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari, and the feminist philosopher Braidotti, proposing that how difference and variation are conceived is an important element in how identity is experienced and performed.

LE RUN Radiocarbon Laboratory, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique Gif-sur-Yvette (Essonne), France The following list shows the age measurements carried out from 1958 to March 1963 at the Radiocarbon Laboratory at Gif-sur-Yvette. This laboratory has been replaced by a new one whose first measure- ments are also given in this volume. It was equipped with 2 proportional counters similar to those used in Saclay laboratory and operating with 1 atm of pure C02. These counters were shielded by 15 cm lead, 5 cm iron and 1.5 cm of mercury. Data have been calculated on the basis of a C14 half-life of 5570 yr, in agreement with the decision of the Fifth Radiocarbon Dating Confer- ence. As a modern carbon standard, wood taken from old furniture was used. This standard was found equivalent to 950 of the activity of the NBS oxalic acid, if a 2% Suess-effect is adopted for this wood.

  • The Monumental Architecture of Iklaina
    The Monumental Architecture of Iklaina Michael B. Cosmopoulos1 Abstract: The excavations of the Athens Archaeological Society at Iklaina have brought to light a major LH settle- ment that is identified with *a-pu2, one of the district capitals of the Mycenaean state of Pylos. One of the most striking features of the site is its monumental architecture, which includes at least two large buildings, two paved roads, a paved piazza, and massive built stone drains. The presence of this kind of monumentality outside the traditionally defined ‘palaces’, combined with other markers of advanced socio-political complexity, opens up a number of questions regard- ing the processes of the unification of the Mycenaean state of Pylos. In the present paper I review the relevant archi- tectural and stratigraphic evidence and assess its possible implications for this issue. It is concluded that the emergence of monumental architecture at Iklaina could have been initiated either by the Palace of Nestor following a peaceful annexation of Iklaina in the early Mycenaean period, or by the local Iklaina rulers following a period of continuous growth before a forced annexation in LH IIIB. Keywords: Monumentality, state formation, Mycenaean, Pylos, Iklaina Introduction The excavations at Iklaina are conducted under the auspices of the Archaeological Society at Athens.2 Over the course of nine field seasons we have unearthed a significant part of a LH settle- ment, which can be identified with *a-pu2, one of the district capitals of the Mycenaean state of Pylos.3 The site includes three general areas: residential, industrial, and administrative (marked as R, I, and A in Fig.

  • How to Tell a Cromlech from a Quoit ©
    How to tell a cromlech from a quoit © As you might have guessed from the title, this article looks at different types of Neolithic or early Bronze Age megaliths and burial mounds, with particular reference to some well-known examples in the UK. It’s also a quick overview of some of the terms used when describing certain types of megaliths, standing stones and tombs. The definitions below serve to illustrate that there is little general agreement over what we could classify as burial mounds. Burial mounds, cairns, tumuli and barrows can all refer to man- made hills of earth or stone, are located globally and may include all types of standing stones. A barrow is a mound of earth that covers a burial. Sometimes, burials were dug into the original ground surface, but some are found placed in the mound itself. The term, barrow, can be used for British burial mounds of any period. However, round barrows can be dated to either the Early Bronze Age or the Saxon period before the conversion to Christianity, whereas long barrows are usually Neolithic in origin. So, what is a megalith? A megalith is a large stone structure or a group of standing stones - the term, megalith means great stone, from two Greek words, megas (meaning: great) and lithos (meaning: stone). However, the general meaning of megaliths includes any structure composed of large stones, which include tombs and circular standing structures. Such structures have been found in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America and may have had religious significance. Megaliths tend to be put into two general categories, ie dolmens or menhirs.
