Understanding and Accessibility of Pre-and Protohistorical Research
Issues: Sites, Museums and Communication Strategies presents the
papers from Session XXXV-1 of the 18th UISPP World Congress (Paris,
June 2018). Museums are increasingly seen as the place where
scientific research and heritage education meet, rather than being
simply a location for exhibitions. The eight contributions from
Italy, the United Kingdom, Senegal, Spain and the Netherlands
address the following related issues: the mediation of language
from research usage to public usage, making the museum visit an
educational experience, universal accessibility, involvement of the
local community in the management of the sites and museums, use of
media and new technology to bring scientific content to the public.
Late Prehistoric Fortifications in Europe: Defensive, Symbolic and
Territorial Aspects from the Chalcolithic to the Iron Age presents
the contributions to the International Colloquium
‘FortMetalAges’ (10th–12th November 2017, Guimarães,
Portugal), The Colloquium was organised by the Scientific
Commission ‘Metal Ages in Europe’ of the International Union of
Prehistoric and Protohistoric Sciences (UISPP/ IUSPP) and by the
Martin Sarmento Society of Guimarães. Nineteen papers discuss
different interpretive ideas for defensive structures whose
construction had necessitated large investment, present new case
studies, and conduct comparative analysis between different regions
and chronological periods from the Chalcolithic to the Iron Age.
From Lascaux to Shanidar caves, from Malta temples to Stonenge (and
the 'new' one...), from Serra da Capivara to Foz Coa park, from
Australia to North Africa's Rock Art, from Pechino to Isernia
excavations, from the Musee de l'Homme in Paris to the Museum of
Civilization in Quebec, from Catal Huyuk to the Varna village, from
the Rift Valley to the Grand Canyon, most problems have to be
fronted in a common perspective. But which perspective? Is it
possible to have a common point of view on different values,
different sites, different methodologies? The Scientific Commission
for the Quality Management of Prehistoric and Protohistoric Sites,
Monuments and Museums (c) set up at UISPP by initiative of the
author (UISPP-PPCHM) is aimed to examine these issues and propose
solutions acceptable to all those who want to contribute to common
understanding of our past history. The only certainty in fact is
our Past. It is undoubted that it happened, it is undoubted that
its consequences are in place today, it is undoubted that it is
affecting persons, social groups or larger structures in some ways
also when it is disregarded. The help of specialists from different
Countries and the exchange of opinions with other colleagues from
other fields and/or organizations is then needed in order to:
discuss the reasons and possibilities for preservation and use of
Sites, Monuments and Museums; let the management of Rock Art Sites
and Parks, Prehistoric excavations, Museums and Interpretations
Centres and related structures open to the public to be made
according to criteria agreed at an International level, both in
normal and critical conditions; enhance standards in preserving,
communicating and using Sites, Monuments and Museums; involve the
public and diffuse awareness; analyse tourism benefits and risks at
these destinations; introduce new opportunities for jobs and
training; develop networks on these topics in connection with other
specialized Organizations. This session aimed to ask: what is your
experience? Which problems would you like to address? What
solutions can be considered?
Liguria, North-West Italy, is a region sited between the
Mediterranean and the Alps. Between XVI and XIII c. BC the region
experienced continuity and discontinuity in material culture and
land occupation strategy. That chronological period, known as
Middle and Late Bronze Age, coincided with movements throughout the
Central Mediterranean (Aegean Sea to Sardinia-Sicily-Southern
Italy) and in Central Europe (Danube Valley until Eastern France
and Eastern Italy). Indirect consequences of this movement can be
seen in a marginal region like Liguria. A regional panorama of
settlements and material culture is presented. Pottery continuity
and discontinuity is analyzed and granted new perspectives by
applying a techno-typological analytical model.
The papers collected in this book correspond to the lectures held
during session B34 of UISPP conference in Burgos (June 2014) where
the presentation of multidisciplinary works were encouraged. The
main goal of bringing together specialists from various disciplines
(humanities and natural sciences) was to debate, from different
perspectives, the networks in raw materials and technological
innovation in Prehistory and Protohistory, involving investigation
topics typical of archaeometry: archeometallurgy, petrography, and
mineralogy.
1. The Emergence of warrior societies and its economic, social and
environmental consequences. Proceedings of the XVII UISPP World
Congress (1-7 September 2014, Burgos, Spain) Session A3c edited by
Fernando Coimbra and Davide Delfino: Several works have been
dedicated to the aim of warfare in European Bronze Age, by a point
of view of bronze technology and archaeometallurgy. The present
volume wants to be a short and actualized contribution to the study
and interpretation of warrior societies, through a point of view of
the marks of the first warfare in Europe, its causes and its
consequences in all the intelligible evidences, both from a point
of view of material culture, of landscape, of human behavior and
artistic manifestations. 2. Aegean - Mediterranean imports and
influences in the graves from continental Europe - Bronze and Iron
Ages. Proceedings of the XVII UISPP World Congress (1-7 September
2014, Burgos, Spain) Session A16a edited by Valeriu Sirbu and
Cristian Schuster: There is already a 'history' with not only
different, but sometimes contradictory opinions regarding the role
played by the Aegean-Mediterranean area in the evolution of the
peoples who lived in continental Europe during the age of Bronze
and Iron, including burial customs. The organizers of this session
proposed, through ongoing communication and the discussions that
followed, to obtain new data on the influences and
Aegean-Mediterranean imports found in the graves, and the possible
movements of groups of people who carried them. The main area of
interest focused on the 'roads' and the stages of their
penetration, but also considered feedback from peripheral areas.
The session aims to highlight the role of the southern imports in
the evolution of local communities' elites and their impact on the
general development of the populations of continental Europe, the
possible meanings of their deposit in the burials. Analysis of
these phenomena over wide geographical areas (from the Urals to the
Atlantic) and large chronological periods (the third-. first
millennia BC) allow the identification of certain traits as general
(eg., the continuity and discontinuity), or particular (eg., the
impact of imports and southern influences on communities of
different geographical areas).
