Why is it that in some places around the world communities live in villages, while elsewhere people live in isolated houses scattered across the landscape? How does archaeology analyse the relationship between man and his environment? Making Sense of an Historic Landscape explores why landscapes are so varied and how the landscape archaeologist or historian can understand these differences.Local variation in the character of the countryside provides communities with an important sense of place, and this book suggests that some of these differences can be traced back to prehistory.

Les frontières pionnières sont un thème central dans les recherches du célèbre géographe français Pierre Monbeig. À l’occasion du colloque Les Phénomènes de « frontière » dans les pays tropicaux, tenu du 12 au 15 décembre 1979, plus de quarante intervenants ou auteurs de communication – dont notamment Claude Bataillon – ont rendu hommage à ce spécialiste de l’Amérique du Sud. Cette rencontre est le résultat de recherches menées au cours des années 1970, dont résultent les sujets comme le développement des frontières pionnières, ou encore les politiques d’État liées aux opérations industrielles. L’un des problèmes majeurs soulevé ici est la destruction de l’environnement, due à la constante expansion de l’agriculture qui menace les écosystèmes d’Amérique latine. Les évolutions technologiques sont ici vues comme mettant en péril le monde du travail, qui a alors moins besoin de main-d’œuvre qu’auparavant pour une plus grande production. Les membres de ce colloque prouvent que le sujet des phénomènes de frontières est encore d’actualité, et démontrent que les fronts pionniers sont dans une recherche constante de ressources non utilisées, cherchant sans cesse à se développer au dépend de certains écosystèmes. Il n’est pas inutile de rappeler que l’Amazonie est l’une des dernières régions encore sauvage, mais elle disparaît peu à peu sous l’avancée inexorable des frontières pionnières.

Today, half the Netherlands is below sea level. Because of this, water-management is of key importance when it comes to maintaining present-day habitation of the Dutch low-lands. In prehistory, however, large parts of the Dutch landscape were highly dynamic due to ongoing fluvial sedimentation. Vast deltaic areas with ceaseless river activity formed the backdrop against which prehistoric occupation took place. Although such landscapes may seem inhospitable, the often excellently preserved archaeological evidence indicates that people lived in these lowlands throughout prehistory. This book des

The idea that the past was an era with long periods of little or no change is almost certainly false. Change has always affected human society. Some of the catalysts for change were exogenous and lay in natural transformations, such as climate change or plant and animal diseases. Others came from endogamous processes, such as demographic change and the resulting alterations in demographic pressure. They might be produced by economic changes in the agrarian economy such as crop- or stock-breeding or better agricultural husbandry systems with the resultant greater harvests. Equally, they might be from technological developments in industry and manufacturing affecting traditional forms of production. We should also note changes in ideology within society and even between principal groups, such as secular and ecclesiastical bodies. We need to consider the impact of politics and warfare.0These innovations, transmissions and transformations had profound spatial, economic and social impacts on the environments, landscapes and habitats evident at micro-, meso- and macro-levels. Changes, alterations and modifications may affect how land was worked, how it was organized, and the nature of buildings and rural complexes (homesteads, work buildings, villages, monasteries, towns and landscapes). 0The authors of the 36 papers focus in particular on transmissions and transformations in a longue durée perspective, such as from early medieval times (c. 500AD) to the High Middle Ages (c. 1000/1200 AD), and from medieval to post-medieval and early modern times (1700). The case studies include the shrinking and disappearance of settlements; changes in rule and authority; developments in the agrarian economy; the shift from handwork to manufacturing; demographic change.

Les récits relatifs à la fabrique des nations sont toujours pleins d’oublis. Dans le cas du Brésil, considérer que les peuples indigènes ont joué un rôle actif dans l’histoire du pays revient à toucher un château de cartes : il suffit d’en déplacer une seule pour que tout l’édifice s’écroule et pour que les interprétations consacrées, les certudes les mieux ancrées, s’effondrent. Le chercheur doit alors construire de nouvelles interprétations, mettre à distance les catégories de pensée héritées de l’ère coloniale et toujours bien présentes dans les sociétés contemporaines, revoir de manière critique son outillage méthodologique et ses instruments d’analyse. En considérant les marges comme de possibles façonneuses du centre et en s’interrogeant sur les régimes d’altérité, il devient alors en mesure de bâtir à nouveaux frais un récit alternatif sur la naissance d’une nation. Sur la base d’un travail ethnographique et dialogique engagé auprès des peuples autochtones brésiliens depuis plusieurs décennies, João Pacheco de Oliveira propose dans cet ouvrage une autre histoire du Brésil et de la formation des identités brésiliennes. Cet exercice d’anthropologie historique donne à voir les tensions complexes qui ont existé et existent toujours entre la pratique disciplinaire du pouvoir et les formes de résistance, de rébellion à l’autorité, entre les politiques publiques nationales et les dynamiques de la mondialisation, entre les héritages de l’époque coloniale et les mutations les plus contemporaines.

In pre-industrial societies in which the majority of the population lived directly off the land, few issues were more important than the maintenance of soil fertility. Manure really mattered, as without access to biodegradable wastes from production processes or to synthetic agrochemicals, early farmers continuously developed strategies aimed at adding nutritional value to their fields using locally available natural materials. In this book, international scholars working on social, cultural, and economic issues relating to past manure and manuring, use textual, linguistic, archaeological, sci

La naissance des villages perchés et fortifiés, la recomposition de l'espace rural qu'elle induit, sont des thèmes de prédilection et débattus, connus sous le nom d'incastellamento, de l'histoire médiévale de l'Occident méditerranéen depuis la publication des Structures du Latium médiéval de Pierre Toubert en 1973. Les antécédents, la genèse, les modalités du processus, sans négliger ses hésitations ni ses échecs, sont examinés ici dans une enquête d'archéologie et d'histoire micro-régionales. Des prospections et des fouilles conduites dans une vallée frontalière des Apennins aux confins de la Sabine et des Abruzzes, jointes à la critique de la documentation écrite, montrent comment les facteurs économiques et sociaux se conjuguent à l'histoire politique générale et à ses répercussions sur l'organisation des pouvoirs locaux pour expliquer les évolutions matérielles des formes de l'occupation du sol et de l'habitat qui ont dessiné le paysage des campagnes jusqu'à nos jours.

Wildlife conservation and other environmental protection projects can have tremendous impact on the lives and livelihoods of the often mobile, difficult-to-reach, and marginal peoples who inhabit the same territory. The contributors to this collection of case studies, social scientists as well as natural scientists, are concerned with this human element in biodiversity. They examine the interface between conservation and indigenous communities forced to move or to settle elsewhere in order to accommodate environmental policies and biodiversity concerns. The case studies investigate successful and not so successful community-managed, as well as local participatory, conservation projects in Africa, the Middle East, South and South Eastern Asia, Australia and Latin America. There are lessons to be learned from recent efforts in community managed conservation and this volume significantly contributes to that discussion.
