Agency and Archaeology of the French Maritime Empire
The French maritime empire enabled the continued colonization of territories all over the world from the 17th to the 19th centuries and was built upon the backs of those in lower socioeconomic classes. These classes were heavily impacted by social, political and economic structures. Detailed archaeological case studies using an agency perspective indicate that these lower socioeconomic classes were extremely diverse and dynamic groups that constantly negotiated their identities. These stories are not about the kings, military leaders, and politicians, but rather an exploration of the perspective of those who provided the fuel, both willingly and unwillingly, for the French maritime empire.
Gli orci di Montelupo e le terrecotte vascolari nell’area fiorentina: la produzione grezza e smaltata
Le indagini archeologiche, e in particolare le ricerche subacquee, hanno evidenziato sin dagli anni ’70 la presenza di contenitori fittili (orci), poi riconosciuti come prodotti a Montelupo, in un ambito territoriale globale. Oltre al commercio internazionale dell’olio d’oliva toscano, questa eccezionale diffusione dipende anche dall’uso che la Royal Navy fece degli orci montelupini quale dotazione di cambusa per i suoi navigli tra il XVII (seconda metà) ed il XVIII secolo. I contributi di Hugo Blake, Gaëlle Dieulefet e Nina Linda Jaspers sono dedicati alla diffusione di questi contenitori lungo le vie marittime, in Inghilterra, Francia, Olanda e Canada, sino all’Indonesia e all’Australia, mentre Fausto Berti colloca la fabbricazione degli orci nelle vicende produttive delle ceramiche grezze in Toscana e nell’area di Montelupo. L’insieme dei saggi contenuti in questo volume rappresenta, dunque, un esempio dell’apporto che l’archeologia può offrire alla ricostruzione di vicende storiche complesse.
Communautés et mobilités en Méditerranée de la fin XVe au milieu du XVIIIe siècle
Comment les nationes s’organisaient dans la ville ? Qu’est-ce qu’une diaspora ? Quelles sont les réactions des autorités face aux nouveaux-arrivants ? Comment parvenait-on à garder des liens malgré les distances ? À ces questions – et à bien d’autres – cet ouvrage propose de répondre à partir de réflexions d’enseignants et chercheurs, en associant aux synthèses bibliographiques des études de cas. L’ouvrage est formé par des chapitres thématiques et se divise en deux parties, l’une consacrée aux communautés – les morisques, les tsiganes, les esclaves – en tant qu’acteurs de la mobilité, l’autre centrée sur les espaces et les lieux (les fondouks des marchands, les bagnes, les routes maritimes, et ainsi de suite). En réunissant les contributions de spécialistes internationaux dans un seul ouvrage, ce volume se veut un outil de travail capable d’accompagner les candidats à la préparation au concours de l’agrégation.
Before Canada
Long before Confederation created a nation-state in northern North America, Indigenous people were establishing vast networks and trade routes. Volcanic eruptions pushed the ancestors of the Dene to undertake a trek from the present-day Northwest Territories to Arizona. Inuit migrated across the Arctic from Siberia, reaching Southern Labrador, where they met Basque fishers from northern Spain. As early as the fifteenth century, fishing ships from western Europe were coming to Newfoundland for cod, creating the greatest transatlantic maritime link in the early modern world. Later, fur traders would take capitalism across the continent, using cheap rum to lubricate their transactions. The contributors to Before Canada reveal the latest findings of archaeological and historical research on this fascinating period. Along the way, they reframe the story of the Canadian past, extending its limits across time and space and challenging us to reconsider our assumptions about this supposedly young country. Innovative and multidisciplinary, Before Canada inspires interest in the deep history of northern North America.
Rouge Cochenille. Histoire d'un insecte qui colora le monde XVIe-XXIe siècle
La cochenille n'aurait pu être qu'un insecte parasite du nopal, cactus des hauts plateaux du Mexique. Grâce aux soins des peuples précolombiens, son cadavre est devenu un trésor convoité par toute l'Europe. Matière première pour teindre dans une gamme de rouges du luxe (carmins, cramoisis, écarlates), elle y a détrôné le vermillon du kermès. Danielle Trichaud-Buti et Gilbert Buti se livrent à la traque de l'étonnant insecte qui participe à la première mondialisation des échanges. Après avoir présenté le produit dans l'espace amérindien et son contrôle par les Espagnols, ils en retracent sa redistribution en pointant le rôle de Marseille, " place la plus délicate de l'...
Sans sépulture: Modalités et enjeux de la privation de funérailles de la Préhistoire à nos jours
This volume gathers contributions from archaeologists, anthropologists and historians to present a rich interdisciplinary and diachronic reflection on the diversity of motivations that lead to the intentional deprivation of funerals.
Material Agency
Thus far an ‘agent’ in the social sciences has always meant someone whose actions bring about change. In this volume, the editors challenge this position and examine the possibility that agency is not a solely human property. Instead, this collection of archaeologists, anthropologists, sociologists and other social scientists explores the symbiotic relationships between humans and material entities (a key opening a door, a speed bump raising a car) as they engage with one another.
Navigation et installations lacustres dans les hautes terres du Mexique: les cas mexica et tarasque
This research focuses on the practice of lake navigation and specific facilities that are associated with it in Late Postclassic Mesoamerica. Due to the need for a wholistic approach, this research is situated in a multidisciplinary framework that combines archaeology, ethnology and ethnohistory.
Contact in the 16th Century
From Labrador to Lake Ontario, the Gulf of Saint Lawrence to French Acadia, and Huronia-Wendaki to Tadoussac, and from one chapter to the next, this scholarly collection of archaeological findings focuses on 16th century European goods found in Native contexts and within greater networks, forming a conceptual interplay of place and mobility. The four initial chapters are set around the Gulf of Saint Lawrence where Euro-Native contact was direct and the historical record is strongest. Contact networks radiated northward into Inuit settings where European iron nails, roofing tile fragments and ceramics are found. Glass beads are scarce on Inuit sites as well as on Basque sites on the Gulf’s ...
