Abstract

Of all Britain's great archaeological monuments the Iron Age hillforts have arguably had the most profound impact on the landscape, if only because there are so many; yet we know very little about them. Were they recognised as being something special by those who created them or is the 'hillfort' purely an archaeologists' 'construct'? How were they constructed, who lived in them and to what uses were they put? This book, which is richly illustrated with photography of sites throughout England and Wales, addresses these and many other questions. After discussing the difficult issue of definitio

Abstract

Between A.D. 700 and 1100 Native Americans built more effigy mounds in Wisconsin than anywhere else in North America, with an estimated 1,300 mounds--including the world's largest known bird effigy--at the center of effigy-building culture in and around Madison, Wisconsin. These huge earthworks, sculpted in the shape of birds, mammals, and other figures, have aroused curiosity for generations and together comprise a vast effigy mound ceremonial landscape. Farming and industrialization destroyed most of these mounds, leaving the mysteries of who built them and why they were made. The remaining mounds are protected today and many can be visited. Spirits of Earth: Effigy Mound Landscapes of Madison and the Four Lakes explores the cultural, historical, and ceremonial meanings of the mounds in an informative, abundantly illustrated book and guide.

Abstract

Les architectures de terre et de bois d’époque romaine étaient, il y a quelques années encore, très mal connues. Des fouilles récentes ont apporté de nombreuses données. Cet ouvrage tente un premier point : s’agit-il de survivances protohistoriques ? comment se présentent ces techniques de construction ? à quelles conditions socio-économiques répondent-elles ? L’approche archéologique et textuelle s’accompagne des enseignements livrés par des expériences contemporaines. Earth and wood constructions of the Roman era were, until several years ago, very little known. Recent excavations have provided us with considerable information. This work attempts to answer primary questions such as : are these protohistorical survivals ? what construction techniques were used ? what socio-economic conditions do they correspond to ? The textual and archaeological approach go along with informationobtained by contemporary experiments.

Abstract

Que sait-on des habitats de la Gaule non méditerranéenne à la fin de l’âge du Fer ? Peu de choses par rapport à ce que l’on connaît des sites contemporains de la bordure méditerranéenne. L’étude d'I.B.M. Ralston, faite à partir d'un inventaire des sites d’une région, le Limousin, contribue à combler cette lacune. En comparant ces données avec celles fournies par d'autres régions françaises et en confrontant les sources archéologiques, numismatiques et textuelles, l'auteur propose une analyse de la société et de l'émergence probable des entités étatiques à la veille de la conquête romaine. Il se place délibérément dans une perspective régionale, à l'inverse des approches macroscopiques antérieures dont il fait la critique. What is known about the settlement sites of non-Mediterranean Gaul at the end of the Iron Age? Relatively little compared to our knowledge of contemporary sites near the Mediterranean littoral. This study, based on a regional inventory of the settlement sites of Limousin, is a contribution to filling that gap. The author considers archaeological, numismatic and historical data from Corrèze, Creuse and Haute-Vienne in relation to information from other regions of France, and proposes an analysis of Gaulish society and political structures in the immediately pre-Conquest period. The study is avowedly regionalist in perspective and offers a critique of earlier, brooder- scale models of change during this period.
