C’est au Ier millénaire av. J.-C. que le dromadaire et, plus marginalement, le chameau commencent à imposer leurs hautes silhouettes sur les routes du Proche-Orient et d’Égypte. Réunis lors de deux ateliers, à Lyon puis à Nanterre, seize archéologues et historiens ont tenté de prendre la mesure de cette révolution chamelière. Du Xinjiang au désert Libyque, l’usage de plus en plus intensif des grands camélidés de l’ancien monde est en effet venu bouleverser les domaines du transport caravanier mais aussi l’agriculture, redessinant les routes commerciales, accroissant les capacités d’exportation des oasis, désenclavant des régions autrefois isolées. Devenus progressivement une pièce majeure des systèmes économiques des régions désertiques ou semi-désertiques, les camélidés demeurent en même temps associés à des populations nomades disposant d’un savoir-faire sans lequel l’élevage et le dressage de ces grands animaux se révèlent impossibles à réaliser. Les sources écrites (akkadiennes, bibliques, démotiques, grecques…) mais aussi l’archéozoologie, l’iconographie, sans oublier l’ethnologie et la zootechnologie, sont convoquées pour traiter cette révolution chamelière dans ses multiples aspects. Ce livre présente un très grand nombre de documents, dont des inédits, et aborde un large éventail de thématiques : les différents usages des camélidés, le lien entre ces animaux et les populations nomades et sédentaires, leur place au sein des imaginaires des peuples d’Asie et d’Égypte, mais aussi dans la vie quotidienne des Grecs, Romains, Nabatéens, Arabes, habitants du Levant byzantin, populations d’Asie centrale ; au sein d’environnements aussi variés que la Mésopotamie, l’Assyrie, la péninsule Arabique, le Levant, l’Égypte et l’Asie centrale. Deux articles sur le devenir récent de l’animal et sur les pratiques actuelles de l’élevage camelin en Mongolie complètent ce tour d’horizon sur un animal décidément central dans l’histoire des régions envisagées. During the first…

"The domestication of South American camelids (llamas and alpacas) transformed the use of the Andean landscape. In the central altiplano of Bolivia, during the Formative Period (1500 BC - AD 500) a cultural complex known as Wankarani developed. This book discusses the development of early camelid pastoralism by testing a set of hypotheses related to Wankarani economic organization. In contrast with previous ideas that suggested the emergence of sedentary agricultural villages in this region, settlement patterns, site layouts and faunal remains analyses support the interpretation that the development and persistence of mobile pastoralist communities occurred in the Bolivian central altiplano."--Publisher's web site.

Through a richly detailed examination of the practices of spinning yarn from the fleece of llamas and alpacas, Earth, Water, Fleece and Fabric explores the relationship that herders of the present and of the past have maintained with their herd animals in the Andes. Dransart juxtaposes an ethnography of an Aymara herding community, based on more than ten years fieldwork in Isluga in the Chilean highlands, with archaeological material from excavations in the Atacama desert.Impeccably researched, this book is the first systematic study to set the material culture of pastoral communi
