Ancient glass beads as a window to the ancient world Glass beads, both beautiful and portable, have been produced and traded globally for thousands of years. Modern archaeologists study these artifacts through sophisticated methods that analyze the glass composition, a process which can be utilized to trace bead usage through time and across regions. This book publishes open-access compositional data obtained from laser ablation - inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry, from a single analytical laboratory, providing a uniquely comparative data set. The geographic range includes studies of beads produced in Europe and traded widely across North America and beads from South and Southeast Asia traded around the Indian Ocean and beyond. The contributors provide new insight on the timing of interregional interactions, technologies of bead production and patterns of trade and exchange, using glass beads as a window to the past. This volume will be a key reference for glass researchers, archaeologists, and any scholars interested in material culture and exchange; it provides a wide range of case studies in the investigation and interpretation of glass bead composition, production and exchange since ancient times.

Domestic devotion has become an increasingly important area of research in recent years, with the publication of a number of significant studies on the early modern period in particular. This Special Issue aims to build on these works and to expand their range, both geographically and chronologically. This collection focuses on lived religion and the devotional practices found in the domestic settings of late medieval and early modern Europe. More particularly, it investigates the degree to which the experience of personal or familial religious practice in the domestic realm intersected with the more public expression of faith in liturgical or communal settings. Its broad geographical range (spanning northern, southern, central and eastern Europe) includes practices related to Christianity, Judaism and Islam. This Special Issue will be of interest to historians, art historians, medievalists, early modernists, historians of religion, anthropologists and theologians, as well as those interested in the history of material religious culture. It also offers important insights into research areas such as gender studies, histories of the emotions and histories of the senses.

Les sites archéologiques de la vallée de l'Indus en témoignent : l'artisanal des perles en cornaline remonte à plusieurs millénaires. De nos jours, il se pratique encore dans quelques rares endroits comme en Inde dans la ville de Cambay (Gujarat) qui offre au chercheur une occasion unique de construire des référentiels. Dans ce but, des méthodes d'enquête appropriées ont été élaborées. Elles aboutissent à des régies interprétatives portant sur les processus techniques, les habiletés de taille, le techno-système. Il s'ensuit une interprétation des perles de l'Indus et de la Mésopotamie en termes de production et de réseaux de distribution. Interprétations fondées qui permettent de nouvelles hypothèses sur la fonction de certaines perles et sur les conditions de leur apparition. L'ouvrage est accompagné d'un cédérom (Mac-PC). La totalité des constructions scientifiques y est présentée selon un mode d'édition qui permet une lecture rapide des résultats ainsi que la consultation d'une très importante base de données (photos, films, graphiques, tableaux). The archaeological sites of the Indus Valley show that the craft of carnelian bead-making goes back several thousands of years. 'Ibday it is still racticed in a few rare places, such as the Indian city of Cambay (Gujarat), ofiering a unique opportunity for researchers to construct a modern reference base. With this objective in mind, appropriate investigative methods were developed. They have resulted in interpretative rules relating to technical processes, knapping skills, and the teclmo-system. These rules enable us to interpret the beadsfrom Indus and Mesopotamia in terms of production and distribution networks. These welltfounded interpretations allow the formulation of new hypotheses concerning thefitnction of certain beads and the conditions of their appearance. This book comes with a PC /Mac compatible CD-Rom. Scientific constntcts are presented in aformalized wayfin quick access to the main results as well as…

Au cours des quatre derniers siècles av. n.è. les sociétés d'Europe continentale de la culture dite de La Tène développent leur propre artisanat du verre. Cette période de mutations économiques et sociales saisissantes, où les centres urbains et les réseaux d'habitats hiérarchisés se déploient, connaît également une intensification et une diversification des productions artisanales et agricoles. De l'agriculture à la métallurgie, l'étude des spécialisations artisanales laténiennes révèle des changements techniques et économiques majeurs et précise les facteurs impliqués dans ces transformations socio-économiques. Presque exclusivement dédié aux ornements du corps, l'artisanat du verre celtique produit des perles et des bracelets. Longtemps considérés comme des objets de pacotilles, babioles qui ne pouvaient être que féminines ou enfantines, ces objets sont considérés ici sous leurs aspects économiques et sociaux. La méthode d'étude pluridisciplinaire développée, combinant l'étude contextuelle des objets, l'analyse élémentaire des matériaux et l'exploration des techniques avec des artisans verriers, a permis pour la première fois d'aborder ces objets à travers toute leur chaîne de production. De la fabrication du verre brut au Proche-Orient aux poignets des populations celtiques, l'étude des parures en verre celtiques révèle désormais les réseaux d'échanges et les savoir-faire que les sociétés ont développés pour leur production. Cette redécouverte de l'artisanat verrier laténien permet d'approcher les valeurs et les fonctions de signes des parures en verre, redéfinissant ces objets comme des parures de prix, destinés à la distinction sociale des individus, mais dont la production et les consommations semblent également évoluer parallèlement à la hiérarchisation de la société du La Tène.
