  • A Comparative Study of the Swennes Woven Nettle Bag and Weaving Techniques
    Karoll UW-L Journal of Undergraduate Research XII (2009) A Comparative Study of the Swennes Woven Nettle Bag and Weaving Techniques Amy Karol Faculty Sponsors: Dr. Connie Arzigian and Dr. David Anderson, Department of Sociology and Archaeology ABSTRACT During recent years, the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center (MVAC) has acquired permission to look at a beautifully preserved bag from 47Lc84, a rockshelter located in La Crosse County, Wisconsin. The bag is tentatively dated to the Oneota cultural tradition (A.D. 1250-1650) based on pottery sherds associated with it. Nothing of its kind has been found archaeologically in this region before, owing mostly to poor preservation conditions. Due to its uniqueness, there is nothing to compare it to within the Oneota tradition. Therefore, to gain a better understanding of this bag, a cross-cultural study was undertaken. This paper examines separate sites in the American Midwest, as well as textile impressions that are preserved on pottery, the ethnohistoric and early historic record, and modern hand-weaving techniques to determine the textile tradition from which the bag may have emerged as well as how it was constructed. INTRODUCTION Textiles in the archaeological record are poorly preserved in the American Midwest. Only in very few sites are they actually found, and in even fewer are the fragments large enough to be studied in depth. Detailed studies conducted on textiles are not numerous. Lacking in these studies is a cross-cultural comparison of types and materials from sites that do have better preserved textiles to try and determine similarities and differences in textile manufacture.

Sculptures vary in sizes, and may be small enough to fit in the palm of a hand or large enough that they can only fit in a large outdoor space. Some sculptures are representative, and may look like a famous person; others may be abstract. The materials used in sculpture vary, and anything from ceramics, cement, recycled materials, paper or synthetics may be used to produce this particular type of art. By definition, a sculpture differs from other structures in that it does not have an intrinsically utilitarian purpose. HISTORY & ORIGIN Sculpture was used mainly as a form of religious art to illustrate the principles of Hinduism, Buddhism, or Jainism. The female nude in particular was used to depict the numerous attributes of the gods, for which it was often endowed with multiples heads and arms. Important milestones in the history of sculpture include: the Buddhist Pillars of Ashokaof the Mauryan period, with their wonderful carved capitals (3rd century BCE); the figurative Greco- Buddhist sculpture of the Gandhara and Mathura schools, and the Hindu art of the Gupta period (1st-6th century CE). In brief, the flow of the growth of sculpture is as follows: Indus Valley Civilization (c.3300-1300 BCE) Mauryan Sculpture: Pillars of Ashoka (3rd Century BC Ajanta Caves (c.200 BCE - 650 CE) Under the Kushans, sculpture from Gandhara and Mathura art went on to influence artists across India, Elephanta Caves (c.550-720) Pallava and Pandya Sculpture from South India (600-900) Ellora Caves (c.600-1000) Chandela Stone Sculpture in Central India (10th-13th century) Chola Bronze Sculpture of South India, Sri Lanka (9th-13th century) Famous Sculptures that impressed and inspired me 1) TheAshoka Pillars 2) SanchiStupa 3) Ajanta Caves 4).

Although scholarship on public outdoor sculpture in the Southwest of Nigeria is becoming steady in growth, yet a reconnaissance study of the pottery sculpture in art practice and historical perspective has not been made. A study of this type of art, erected in the garden of Ife art school is exigent and paramount now that many of the works are not being maintained. The study underscores the inherent values in the genre of the art; and examined pottery sculpture types, its uses in public sphere and its development in morphology, iconic thematic and stylistic expressions. The study observed that outdoor pottery sculptures are impressive, apparent in sculpture multiplicity of type and dynamics; it is rare in occurrence in Southwestern Nigeria. Keywords: Ife Art School; outdoor sculpture, pottery sculpture; handbuilt pottery; Yoruba pottery. 1. Introduction The praxes of outdoor sculpture in Nigeria, beginning from the first quarter of twentieth century presented different latitudes.

The project was carried out in villages of the six southern provinces of the department of Cajamarca. The comparison was performed tak- ing into account two parameters: technical uniformity or diversity in ‘plain’ pottery and weaving, and presence or absence of lexical items of indigenous origin – both Quechua and pre-Quechua – in the vocabulary of both handicraft activities. Pottery and weaving differ in the two observed domains. On the one hand, pottery shows more technical diver- sity than weaving: two different manufacturing techniques, with variants, were identied in pottery. Weaving with the backstrap loom ( telar de cintura ) is the only manufacturing tech- nique of probable precolonial origin in the area, and demonstrates remarkable uniformity in Southern Cajamarca, considering the toolkit and the basic sequence of ‘plain’ weaving.

  • Mass Cannibalism in the Linear Pottery Culture at Herxheim
    Mass cannibalism in the Linear Pottery Culture at Herxheim (Palatinate, Germany) Bruno Boulestin1, Andrea Zeeb-Lanz2, Christian Jeunesse3, Fabian Haack2, Rose-Marie Arbogast3 & Anthony Denaire3,4 The Early Neolithic central place at Herxheim is defined by a perimeter of elongated pits containing fragments of human bone, together with pottery imported from areas several hundred kilometres distant. This article offers a context for the centre, advancing strong evidence that the site was dedicated to ritual activities in which cannibalism played an important part. Keywords: Europe, Germany, Linearbandkeramik pottery, LBK, human bone, cannibalism, butchering Introduction Since the early 1990s, archaeological and anthropological research into violence and war has become increasingly dynamic. The number of recent publications on the subject confirms this growing interest, for instance in the theoretical basis for the understanding of violence and war, and their relationships with social structures (Haas 1990; Reyna & Downs 1994; Keeley 1996; Martin & Frayer 1997; Carman & Harding 1999; Kelly 2000; Guilaine & Zammit 2001; Leblanc & Register 2003; Arkush & Allen 2006). The Neolithic of the Old World plays a particularly important part in this debate. While the problem of Neolithic violence was already tackled in early archaeological papers, it has recently been re-activated (Keeley 1996; Carman & Harding 1999; Guilaine & Zammit 2001; Beyneix 2001, 2007; Thorpe 2003; Christensen 2004; Pearson & Thorpe 2005; Schulting & Fibiger 2008), and debates about the importance of violence during the Neolithic, and how it should be qualified (should we speak of war?) remain heated. In particular, several discoveries made in Germany and Austria in the past 30 years raise the question of the reality of a climate of collective violence as early as the beginning of the Neolithic, that is at the end of the Linear Pottery Culture (end of the sixth millennium cal BC).
