Abstract

Fourteen experts examine the current state of Central Valley prehistoric research and provide an important touchstone for future archaeological study of the region. The Mississippi Valley region has long played a critical role in the development of American archaeology and continues to be widely known for the major research of the early 1950's. To bring the archaeological record up to date, fourteen Central Valley experts address diverse topics including the distribution of artifacts across the landscape, internal configurations of large fortified settlements, human-bo

Abstract

This major summary of the current state of archaeological research on the Swift Creek culture is the first comprehensive collection ever published concerning the Swift Creek people. The Swift Creek people, centered in Georgia and surrounding states from A.D. 100 to 700, are best known from their pottery, which was decorated before firing with beautiful paddle-stamped designs--some of the most intricate and fascinating in the world. Comprehensive in scope, this volume details the discovery of this culture, summarizes what is known about it at the present time, and

Abstract

L’idea di questo Convegno viene da lontano: ognuna delle istituzioni che lo hanno organizzato ha accumulato infatti un patrimonio di riflessioni su questo tema: per il Centre Jean Bérard questo precede la sua stessa nascita, trovando la sua origine in Rhégion et Zankle, il libro di un maestro di cui in quest’occasione più che mai abbiamo sentito la mancanza; seguirono poi le due Contributions à l’étude de la société et de la colonisation eubéennes, del 1975 e del 1981; per l’Università di Edinburgo basti pensare alla lungae fruttuosa consuetudine di D. Ridgway con Pithekoussaie con il suo scopritore, G. Buchner. Grazie alla generosità degli amici Greci attivi nelle Soprintendenzee nelle Università, il volume presenta scavi inediti, ο noti ancora soltanto attraverso relazioni preliminari. Lo stesso vale per lo scavo della nuova “capanna ovale” di Punta Chiarito a Pithekoussai. Ci si perdoni l’immodestia se diciamo che questi dati, da soli, giustificherebbero la soddisfazione degli organizzatori. Ma un altro aspetto ci premeva,e fu rammentato nel momento in cui ebbero inizio i lavori del Convegno,e riguardava in particolare i nuovi rinvenimenti della Calcidica.

Abstract

Greetings, I ask that you send the things which I need for the use of my boys . . . which you well know I cannot properly get hold of here . . . --A Roman solider on the frontier of England around AD 100 Over three hundred letters and documents were recently discovered at the fort of Vindolanda, in Northern England, written on wooden tablets which have survived nearly 2,000 years. Painstakingly deciphered by Alan Bowman, the materials contribute a wealth of evidence for daily life in the Roman Empire. Military documents testify to the lifestyle of officers and soldiers stationed at Vindolanda,
