Abstract

This book is the culmination of the author's lifelong interest in the Roman to medieval transition in England and in the analysis of the historic landscape of Wessex. It begins with a focused, referenced, and critical exploration of the thorny, but crucial, issues of post-Roman personal and group identity, employing linguistic, historical, archaeological and toponymical evidence. A series of integrated studies seek to elucidate changes in the territorial organisation of the Wessex landscape, from Somerset to Hampshire, from the Roman period to the emergence of the historic counties.

Abstract

The field of Late Antique studies has involved self-reflexion and criticism since its emergence in the late nineteenth century, but in recent years there has been a widespread desire to retrace our steps more systematically and to inquire into the millennial history of previous interpretations, historicization and uses of the end of the Greco-Roman world. This volume contributes to that enterprise. It emphasizes an aspect of Late Antiquity reception that ensues from its subordination to the Classical tradition, namely its tendency to slip in and out of western consciousness. Narratives and artifacts associated with this period have gained attention, often in times of crisis and change, and exercised influence only to disappear again. When later readers have turned to the same period and identified with what they perceive, they have tended to ascribe the feeling of relatedness to similar values and circumstances rather than to the formation of an unbroken tradition of appropriation.

Abstract

The central Indonesian island of Sulawesi has recently been hitting headlines with respect to its archaeology. It contains some of the oldest directly dated rock art in the world, and some of the oldest evidence for a hominin presence beyond the southeastern limits of the Ice Age Asian continent. In this volume, scholars from Indonesia and Australia come together to present their research findings and views on a broad range of topics. From early periods, these include observations on Ice Age climate, life in caves and open sites, rock art, and the animals that humans exploited and lived alongside. The archaeology presented from later periods covers the rise of the Bugis kingdom, Chinese trade ceramics, and a range of site-based and regional topics from the Neolithic through to the arrival of Islam. This carefully edited volume is the first to be devoted entirely to the archaeology of the island of Sulawesi, and it lays down a baseline for significant future research.

Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze Late Prehistoric graphical markers, comprising paintings, engravings, Megalithic elements, and other portable objects. The Tajo inner basin (Spain), was chosen for this study due to the lack of scholarship on the subject and the lack of geographical information available for the archaeological sites.

Abstract

Die Schifffahrt war in Antike und Mittelalter von herausragender Bedeutung für Wirtschaft und Herrschaftsausübung. Sie ermöglichte darüber hinaus Kontakte zwischen weit entfernten Räumen. Schiffe als maßgebliche Objekte wurden zum einen dekoriert und ausgeschmückt, zum anderen waren sie auch häufig Gegenstand von Abbildungen. Dabei reicht die Spannweite vom skizzenhaften Graffito bis zur dreidimensionalen Wiedergabe. Die Kontexte der Darstellungen umfassen so unterschiedliche Bereiche wie die öffentliche und private Repräsentation sowie die Religion.Der Band versammelt 18 Beiträge, die im Rahmen eines internationalen Workshops im Jahre 2013 in Mainz präsentiert wurden. Für den Zeitraum von der Bronzezeit bis zum Ende des Byzantinischen Reiches werden verschiedene Materialgruppen untersucht sowie schiffbauliche und nautische Entwicklungen dargestellt. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf den Darstellungen von Schiffen, die in ihrer Vielschichtigkeit bislang kaum erforscht sind.
