  • Ancient Civilisation’ Through Displays: Semantic Research on Early to Mid-Nineteenth Century British and American Exhibitions of Mesoamerican Cultures
    Structuring The Notion of ‘Ancient Civilisation’ through Displays: Semantic Research on Early to Mid-Nineteenth Century British and American Exhibitions of Mesoamerican Cultures Emma Isabel Medina Gonzalez Institute of Archaeology U C L Thesis forPh.D. in Archaeology 2011 1 I, Emma Isabel Medina Gonzalez, confirm that 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 Signature 2 This thesis is dedicated to my grandparents Emma and Andrés, Dolores and Concepción: their love has borne fruit Esta tesis está dedicada a mis abuelos Emma y Andrés, Dolores y Concepción: su amor ha dado fruto Al ‘Pipila’ porque él supo lo que es cargar lápidas To ‘Pipila’ since he knew the burden of carrying big stones 3 ABSTRACT This research focuses on studying the representation of the notion of ‘ancient civilisation’ in displays produced in Britain and the United States during the early to mid-nineteenth century, a period that some consider the beginning of scientific archaeology. The study is based on new theoretical ground, the Semantic Structural Model, which proposes that the function of an exhibition is the loading and unloading of an intelligible ‘system of ideas’, a process that allows the transaction of complex notions between the producer of the exhibit and its viewers. Based on semantic research, this investigation seeks to evaluate how the notion of ‘ancient civilisation’ was structured, articulated and transmitted through exhibition practices. To fulfil this aim, I first examine the way in which ideas about ‘ancientness’ and ‘cultural complexity’ were formulated in Western literature before the last third of the 1800s.

  • Forty-Third Annual General Meeting of the Saint Lucia National Trust Report of the Chairperson, Alison King
    Forty-Third Annual General Meeting of the Saint Lucia National Trust Report of the Chairperson, Alison King PROGRAMME REPORTS CONSERVATION The Conservation Department continues to maintain and monitor our sites. Tree risk assessments and management exercises were done at Pigeon Island and Morne Pavillon to improve overall forest health and visitor safety. Tools and equipment were procured and maintained regularly to improve on productivity. A new trail was created at the PINL from the Signal Peak train to the Two Gun Battery. This project was fully funded by LUCELEC. Built Heritage: Listing of Buildings The Register of Historic Buildings produced in 2014 was updated as part of a summer internship programme with seven students from Sir Arthur Lewis Community College- Division of Technical Education and Management Studies. Other collaborators on this initiative were the Department of Surveys and the Land Registry in the Ministry of Physical Development. These agencies provided much needed support to help address the data gaps that existed from the initial Assessment. Their support for this activity resulted in completion of the current dataset of Historic Building in Saint Lucia. Further support for this initiative was provided by Fauna and Flora International (FFI), with a donation of smart phones equipped with the open source software called Cyber tracker, to assist in collating data for the assessments of historic buildings island wide. A focus group comprising stakeholders from local cultural heritage organizations and the legal officer in the Department of Physical Development met to review the draft legislation for the conservation of historic buildings, objects and sites. This work is continuing.
