On n'a rien inventé!
L'archéologie est une science de l'interprétation. Ecrite, elle devient une Histoire. Histoire certes matérielle mais qui peut enrichir, voire quelque fois contredire, l'"Histoire officielle" . A partir du prisme de la gastronomie, ce livre va ainsi exposer la version historique des auteurs latins qui dresse l'image d'une table romaine outrancière. Si cette vision "péplumesque" concerne surtout la vie des Princes, les autres parties s'attaquent à la réalité archéologique. Produits mystérieux, écritures sibyllines dévoilent alors l'alimentation quotidienne des Romains. En comparant systématiquement les inscriptions latines des amphores aux étiquettes actuelles, ou encore des pots antiques à de simples boîtes de sardines, tout un pan de l'Histoire alimentaire se dévoile et, bien souvent, une conclusion s'impose : On n'a rien inventé !
A Companion to Ancient Agriculture
The first book-length overview of agricultural development in the ancient world A Companion to Ancient Agriculture is an authoritative overview of the history and development of agriculture in the ancient world. Focusing primarily on the Near East and Mediterranean regions, this unique text explores the cultivation of the soil and rearing of animals through centuries of human civilization—from the Neolithic beginnings of agriculture to Late Antiquity. Chapters written by the leading scholars in their fields present a multidisciplinary examination of the agricultural methods and influences that have enabled humans to survive and prosper. Consisting of thirty-one chapters, the Companion pres...
Case Studies in Archaeological Predictive Modelling
Dutch archaeology has experienced profound changes in recent years. This has led to an increasing use of archaeological predictive modelling, a technique that uses information about the location of known early human settlements to predict where additional settlements may have been located. Case Studies in Archaeological Predictive Modelling is the product of a decade of work by Philip Verhagen as a specialist in geographical information systems at RAAP Archeologisch Adviesbureau BV, one of the leading organizations in the field; the case studies presented here provide an overview of the field and point to potential future areas of research.
Processes in Karst Systems
Karst Systems deal with the question of how the subsurface drainage system, typical of Karst areas develops from its initial state to maturity. Equal attention is given to physical, chemical and geological conditions which determine karstification. The reader will find discussions of mass transport, chemical kinetics, hydrodynamics of fluxes, and the role of dissolution and precipitation of Calcite as they occur in experiments and natural environments. It offers a wealth of information on a complex natural system to hydrologists, hydrochemists, geologists and geographers.
Quantifying the Present and Predicting the Past
One of the more interesting developments in the field of archaeology in the recent past is the emergence of predictive modeling as an integral component of the discipline. Within any developing and expanding field, one may expect some initial controversy that will, presumably, diminish as the techniques are tested, refined, and finally accepted. We are still very much in the initial stages of learning how to go about using predictive modeling in archaeology, and this book represents an effort by some of the leading experts in the field to present a comprehensive and detailed examination of this approach to understanding how people in the past used the landscape in which they lived.
