"Bradley Ensor shows how kinship can be a valuable tool for archaeologists.

Proposer un manuel d'archéologie en cinq cents pages est un pari difficile, pour qui veut illustrer, expliciter et ne rien réduire. L'auteur a néanmoins voulu offrir un volume qui restitue l'unité de l'archéologie sans privilégier une spécialité par rapport à une autre. Ce manuel n'est pas une Encyclopédie, qui révèle tout sur toutes les archéologies. Il veut avant tout soumettre une plate-forme de formalisation, de méthodes et de techniques donnant à l'archéologue tous les moyens d'aborder la meilleure façon de faire sur le terrain comme en laboratoire afin de reconstituer un système. Il n'a pas non plus pour vocation de laisser croire que l'archéologue fait quotidiennement des miracles car il n'est pas d'érudition sans un appareil critique associé, comme il n'existe pas de méthodes et de techniques sans domaine d'application précis et sans limites connues. Ce manuel se veut enfin un ouvrage de référence, à portée de main, pour l'étudiant comme pour le professionnel de l'archéologie programmée ou de l'archéologie préventive.

Though archaeologists have long acknowledged the work of social anthropologists, anthropologists have been much less eager to repay the compliment. This volume argues that the time has come to recognise the insights archaeological approaches can bring to anthropology. Archaeology's rigorous approach to evidence and material culture; its ability to develop flexible research methodologies; its readiness to work with large-scale models of comparative social change, and to embrace the latest technology all means that it can offer valuable methods that can enrich and enhance current anthropological thinking.Cross-disciplinary and international in scope, this exciting volume draws together cutting-edge essays on the relationship between the two disciplines, arguing for greater collaboration and pointing to new concepts and approaches for anthropology. With contributions from leading scholars, this book will be essential reading for students and scholars of archaeology, anthropology and related disciplines.

The presented volume aims to carry out a socio-cultural case study focusing on two abandoned Nubian villages in Upper Egypt, which are regarding their formation and abandonment closely connected with the construction of the British Dam south of Aswan and the following floods around 1900. Besides the documentation of architecture and associated find material, the special nature of the research strategy involved a close cooperation with the descendents of the village inhabitants and other Nubians still living in the sourroundings of the affected area.Through the interdisciplinary research strategy and the combination of a variety of methods in the fields of Archaeology, Building research and Social Anthropology, standard interpretations could be reflected upon, questioned and if necessary corrected, wherefore this study makes an important contribution to the discussion of cultural formation processes and their transformation into the archaeological record as well as bringing insights into the debate on context interpretation of material culture.
