This anthology contains 13 articles written by colleagues from his broad network in appreciation of his many contributions to the field of rock art research. The contributions discuss many different kinds of borders: those between landscapes, cultures, Rock Art Research traditions, settlements, power relations, symbolism, research traditions, theory and methods. We are grateful to the Department of Historical studies, NTNU; the Faculty of Humanities; NTNU, Papers in Honour of The Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters and The Norwegian Archaeological Society (Norsk arkeologisk selskap) for funding this volume that will add new knowledge to the field and Professor Kalle Sognnes will be of importance to researchers and students of rock art in Scandinavia and abroad. edited by Heidrun Stebergløkken, Ragnhild Berge, Eva Lindgaard and Helle Vangen Stuedal Archaeopress Archaeology www.archaeopress.com Steberglokken cover.indd 1 03/09/2015 17:30:19 Ritual Landscapes and Borders within Rock Art Research Papers in Honour of Professor Kalle Sognnes edited by Heidrun Stebergløkken, Ragnhild Berge, Eva Lindgaard and Helle Vangen Stuedal Archaeopress Archaeology Archaeopress Publishing Ltd Gordon House 276 Banbury Road Oxford OX2 7ED www.archaeopress.com ISBN 9781784911584 ISBN 978 1 78491 159 1 (e-Pdf) © Archaeopress and the individual authors 2015 Cover image: Crossing borders.

  • Continuity and Change in San Belief and Ritual: Some Aspects of the Enigmatic ‘Formling’ and Tree Motifs from Matopo Hills Rock Art, Zimbabwe
    Continuity and change in San belief and ritual: some aspects of the enigmatic ‘formling’ and tree motifs from Matopo Hills rock art, Zimbabwe Siyakha Mguni A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, for the degree of Master of Arts. Johannesburg 2002 ii Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own work unless otherwise acknowledged. It is being submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other university. This 14th day of April , 2002 iii Preface Voyage of discovery This study was motivated by a personal revelatory experience I had when, in April 1995 shortly after I joined the National Museums and Monuments of Zimbabwe as a trainee archaeologist and monuments inspector, I first encountered one of the most spectacular rock art sites in Matopo Hills (hereafter called Matopo1), and, perhaps, in southern Africa. And little did I realize that this experience heralded my future career. This site is Nanke Cave on the eastern part of Matobo National Park. Ironically, although I had read about the Drakensberg paintings as part of my Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Zimbabwe, I had never heard of or seen a picture of Nanke paintings. It was a two‐hour walk to the site, but one filled with surprises as we strolled through dramatic ‘castle‐kopjes’ and gigantic ‘whalebacks’ called dwalas (isi‐ Ndebele word for bare granite domes, Plate 1) typical of this landscape. Located in Matabeleland South Province of southwestern Zimbabwe within the granite belt of Zimbabwe (Map 1), Matopo (Appendix 1 Map 1) comprises 3, 000 million years old granites.

  • DIRECT RADIOCARBON DATING of LATE PLEISTOCENE HOMINIDS in EURASIA: CURRENT STATUS, PROBLEMS, and PERSPECTIVES Yaroslav V Kuzmin1 • Susan G Keates2
    Radiocarbon, Vol 56, Nr 2, 2014, p 753–766 DOI: 10.2458/56.16936 © 2014 by the Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona DIRECT RADIOCARBON DATING OF LATE PLEISTOCENE HOMINIDS IN EURASIA: CURRENT STATUS, PROBLEMS, AND PERSPECTIVES Yaroslav V Kuzmin1 • Susan G Keates2 ABSTRACT. The corpus of radiocarbon dates run directly on Pleistocene-age human remains in Eurasia (~120 values, with ~80 of them found to be reliable) is analyzed and interpreted. The latest Neanderthals are dated to ~34,000–30,500 BP (~38,800– 35,400 cal BP). They probably coexisted with the first modern humans at ~36,200–30,200 BP (~42,500–32,800 cal BP) in the western and central parts of Europe. The earliest direct 14C dates on modern humans in Eurasia are ~34,950–33,300 BP (~40,400–37,800 cal BP). A paucity of 14C dates corresponding to the LGM is evident for Europe, but Asia perhaps had larger populations during this timespan. The main criteria for the selection of bone/tooth material for direct 14C dating as now widely accepted are (1) the collagen yield (generally, 1% or more) and (2) the C:N ratio (within the 2.9–3.4 range). INTRODUCTION The direct radiocarbon dating of Late Pleistocene humans from Eurasia is an important task. It was initiated in the 1970–1980s, and progress was at first slow (see e.g. review in Bednarik 2009:274–5). More results were published in the early 2000s when the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) technique was more widely used (e.g.

  • Science, Stories and Scholars
    Book Review Page 1 of 1 Science, stories and scholars BOOK TITLE: Scientific discoveries have always inspired writers and permeated popular culture, most obviously in science The White Lady and Atlantis, fiction. Sci-fi’s precursor was the ‘scientific romance’ – a booming 19th and early 20th century genre. In this Ophir and Great Zimbabwe: volume, Jean-Löic Le Quellec, a French archaeologist and specialist in Saharan rock art, examines this sub-genre, Investigation of an as exemplified by Conan Doyle’s 1912 novel The Lost World, but prefigured by ‘lost race’, rather than ‘lost world’, archaeological myth narratives such as Rider Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines (1885) and She (1886). Rather than considering the impact of how science meets stories, Le Quellec considers its inverse: ‘The blurring of frontiers between science BOOK COVER: and literature, in which novelists discuss scientific questions and scholars tell stories’ (p. 173). The book is profusely illustrated in colour and black and white. A small quibble is that the figures are not numbered; another is the absence of an index. However, these do not detract from the overall value of the work. The study’s starting point is the Namibian rock painting dubbed the ‘White Lady of the Brandberg’ that became famous after the abbé Henri Breuil (1877–1961) published a book of the same name in 1955.1 Breuil, a French priest and archaeologist, was known as the ‘father of prehistory’ by his fans and the ‘pope of prehistory’ by his critics. After valuable work on European Palaeolithic cave art, Breuil worked for a decade in South Africa at the invitation of Jan Smuts.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada i ABSTRACT The extent to which the poetry of Manuel Machado was influenced by that of Verlaine has been noted by many critics since the publication of Alma in 1901, and it is generally agreed that the two years Machado spent in Paris prior to the publication of that collection were responsible for French elements in his work. Nevertheless, no close textual examination of Machado*s poetry for direct Verlainian influence had been made until now, possibly because his contemporary Darfo is frequently considered to have been the first to introduce Verlaine*s themes and techniques into Spanish verse.

  • From Poetry to Prehistory: Mary Boyle and the Abbé Breuil
    From Poetry to Prehistory: Mary Boyle and the Abbé Breuil Alan Saville Abstract: This paper looks at aspects of the life and work of Mary Elizabeth Boyle, a Scottish aspiring poet and author who by chance found her way into prehistoric studies, firstly through working with Cambridge archaeologist Miles Burkitt and then, most significantly, by her encounter in 1920 with the Abbé Henri Breuil, the famous French prehistorian, whose aide and com- panion she became for the final 37 years of his life. Recently revealed documents allow for new insights, particularly with regard to unsuccessful publication projects, and include an archaeological poem and a preface by Hugo Obermaier to one of Boyle’s unpublished books, reproduced here as appendices.
