The bilingual series Flower World - Music Archaeology of the Americas raises the study of ancient music and music-related activities of the pre-Columbian Americas to the next level. For the first time in the history of science, a series offering anthologies featuring scientific investigations in this fascinating multidisciplinary field is available. The series encompasses peer-reviewed studies by renowned scholars on both past and living music traditions from South, Central and North America, and thus constitute a platform for the most up-to-date information on the music archaeology of the continent. It features case studies and the results of research projects in the field, in which a great variety of music-archaeological approaches, such as conventional archaeology - for the interpretation of the find contexts, experimental archaeology - for reconstructive instrument making and playing, ethnohistory and ethnolinguistics - for the interpretation of textual sources, music iconology - for the interpretation if visual sources, organology and acoustics, and ethnomusicology - for the research on contemporary legacies - for the study of the instrument finds, are commonly applied. The title of the series, Flower World, refers to a mythological, even sacred place filled with the sweet scent of flowers, bird calls, pleasant sounds, and dance. It is a place full of happiness and joy, even if it belongs to the realm of the Dead, which sustains the enduring renewal of life on earth.

Este libro está destinado, preferentemente, al alumnado de la asignatura de Composición Arquitectónica 4 del Grado en Arquitectura de la Escuela Politécnica Superior de la Universidad de Alicante. Su cometido es pensar y hacer pensar la arquitectura, su naturaleza y su sentido, y asomarse al mundo, como es propio del arquitecto, desde la misma arquitectura, entrenando al estudiante en el ejercicio de esa mirada, alrededor y adentro, para que llegue a comprenderse mejor a si mismo, en tanto que futuro arquitecto.Su interes trasciende los limites de la asignatura a la que se destina y alcanza al conjunto de conocimientos, tanto teoricos como practicos, propios del area de composicion, es decir, a la historia, a la teoria y a la critica de la arquitectura.En el se contempla la diversidad de puntos de vista y horizontes sobre los que discurre la tarea de la composicion arquitectonica (naturaleza y arte, funcion, tecnica, forma, clasicismo y modernidad, espacio y tiempo, posmodernidad, etica y estetica), con objeto de ofrecer al lector una panoramica abierta sobre este oficio milenario.

Purpureae vestes estudia un elemento fundamental en la vida de cualquier sociedad antigua como es el vestido y los colores utilizados para el adorno del mismo, especialmente la púrpura. El lujo en el vestir implicaba el empleo de materiales como el oro para la confeccion de ciertos complementos. Con unos antecedentes claramente orientales de busqueda de la magnificencia externa de reyes y otros dignatarios, el simbolismo del color en el adorno personal constituyo, en las ciudades ribereñas del Mediterraneo, un factor importante de distincion social. Ya fueran de procedencia vegetal, mineral o animal, los tintes dieron siempre el alma a los textiles. Por ello, el poder imperial romano, en algunos periodos de su historia, controlo con normas legales de mayor o menor dureza el uso de determinados colores obtenidos a partir de gasteropodos marinos. La obra trata extensamente los aspectos economicos y tecnicos relacionados con la elaboracion y comercializacion de vestidos y telas para otros usos (velas, adornos del hogar, etc.). A partir de diversos puntos de vista, entre los que se incluyen los datos arqueologicos o las referencias etnografico-comparativas, se incide en las etapas de preparacion de las fibras textiles, en las formas de elaboracion de los tejidos mas complejos a traves de la reconstruccion experimental, en el trabajo de los pescadores y manufactureros que elaboraban en talleres costeros el tinte mas valorado, la purpura, o en quienes trabajaban en los talleres de la ciudad, asi como en el analisis y descripcion detallada de los resultados extraidos de los restos textiles aparecidos en yacimientos, del Egipto romano sobre todo, que nos muestran todavia hoy la riqueza y viveza de sus colores.

La arqueología es una ciencia social que ha tenido como objetivo primordial el estudio de las sociedades pasadas a partir de sus testimonios materiales ubicados en tiempo y espacio. A lo largo de su historia ha tendido puentes teoricos y empiricos con las ciencias exactas (como la fisica y la quimica), con las ciencias naturales (como la geologia y la biologia) y con ramas humanisticas (como la historia del arte o la filosofia), con el fin de enriquecer su bagaje teorico y para disponer de mejores herramientas analiticas. Este libro examina la demarcacion de la arqueologia mediante el estudio historico del desarrollo disciplinar y de la manera en que se ha conformado su marco conceptual a lo largo de su historia de 190 años. A partir de este analisis, se explica y se sostiene que la arqueologia es una ciencia hibrida que combina saberes de distintos campos del conocimiento y los adapta a sus propias necesidades.

When was Britain last truly wild? And what, if anything, remains? This is the unexpectedly human history of wild Britain. In Wilderlands, archaeologist Eloise Kane unearths 12,000 years of our changing relationship with and influence on the landscape. Through prehistory, Roman occupation, the Middle Ages and beyond, we see the unfamiliar beasts of our old wild make way for species such as brown hare and fallow deer, now romanticised as eternal symbols of the British countryside, but introduced much later than we might think.Places free from our influence havent existed for a very long time. But Eloise Kane invites us to rethink our definition of the wild - not as separate from us. Seen anew as the result of millions of human lives lived, Wilderlands demonstrates how we are integral to the ecology and biodiversity of our land - with the power to shape its future.

Peter Lacovara has worked as a curator, archaeologist, teacher, and ceramicist during a long career in the United States and Egypt. He has played a key role in establishing and organizing groundbreaking exhibitions, written a host of popular and academic publications, created an on-line resource for the history of North American Egyptology, and also inspired and nurtured several generations of professional and amateur Egyptologists. This book comprises a series of articles dealing with subjects close to his heart, including ceramic studies, urbanism and urban archaeology, funerary archaeology, artefact studies, and the history of Egyptology, and will appeal to scholars and enthusiasts alike.

This volume is the first in a four-part series presenting the final results of the Molyvoti, Thrace, Archaeological Project (MTAP), a Greek-American synergasia project in northern Greece. The project is centered on a site often referred to as "Ancient Stryme," which ancient sources identified as an emporion (trading post) and polis settled by Thasians. Focusing on the 2013-2015 field seasons, this volume offers a detailed presentation of the sites stratigraphy, material culture, and historical development. It proposes a revised chronology, including a 4th-century BCE reoccupation after destruction possibly associated with Philip of Macedon, and traces diachronic change through the Early Byzantine period. Among the projects notable discoveries is a complete Classical house--one of the few uncovered in Aegean Thrace--offering valuable insights into domestic architecture and material culture. An intensive urban survey sheds light on the citys 4th-century BCE fortifications and harbors, significantly enhancing our understanding of the scale and function of coastal settlements in the region. In the surrounding chora, the areas first geomorphological study examines landscape use and shifts in the ancient coastline. Contributions from more than 20 scholars present the sites architecture, stratigraphy, ceramics, small finds, and geographical data. Together, these studies illuminate Greek-Thracian interactions, patterns of settlement and trade, and environmental change from prehistory through the Early Byzantine era in this understudied region of the northern Aegean.

In recent decades an expanding cadre of archaeologists has embarked to the field and laboratories. Their endeavors have sparked the collection of troves of data about worldwide pasts at multiple scales from the molecular to the macroregional. Investigation has been amplified by new technologies including computers, satellite imagery, mass spectrometry, and sequencers for ancient DNA. As information-rich findings are rapidly being deciphered, it is clear that the temporal depth and global breadth of archaeological discoveries are sufficiently rich to inform us regarding key contemporary issues--sustainability, inequality, governance, well-being, and heritage. Ernest Hooten once described archaeologists as "the senile playboys of science rooting in the rubbish heaps of antiquity." Although Hootens view of archaeology as an esoteric discipline remains intact in some quarters, clearly times have changed--and in this volume a diverse suite of archaeologists marshal their thoughts regarding the current state and future of the discipline.

This volume presents the unique history of ancient Egypt through 50 artefacts discovered during excavations of the EES since its founding in 1882. They are brought together in this volume from global museums: from major collections as well as those that are a little less known. Readers will travel through three millennia of Egypts history from the Early Dynastic to the end of the Graeco-Roman Period uncovering the daily lives of the ancient Egyptians by investigating everyday items, as well as the elite objects of the ruling classes. Alongside these artefacts, further topics are unpacked relating to the history of Egypt and Egyptology as well as those characters that have played a role in the discovery of ancient Egypt. Each object entry is written by an expert in their field and contributions already include several items from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Metropolitan Museum in New York as well as the University Museum of Kyoto, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, and Bolton Museum.
