Arqueologia e Patrimônio Cultural na UFRB
Esta publicação tem um caráter muito especial. Foi idealizada para comemorar 10 anos de atividades arqueológicas no âmbito do curso de Museologia do Centro de Artes, Humanidades e Letras da Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia, ou seja, para lembrar uma trajetória de pesquisa e educação ímpar, vigorosa e de qualidade, em que pese o contexto adverso pelo que essa e outras universidades públicas têm atravessado nos últimos anos. Com os artigos que compõem esta publicação, tem-se uma ideia clara da variedade do espectro temático que é abordado, se deslizando entre assuntos arqueológicos stricto sensu e os que apontam para as áreas de interfaces com a Museologia, História, Belas Artes, Etnologia e Arquitetura ou seja, com as chamadas Ciências do Patrimônio. Mapeamento de sítios arqueológicos, protocolos para acervos de material lítico, análise de traceologia lítica são pontos, de alguns artigos, que se referem a um campo arqueológico voltado para as populações pré-coloniais do território baiano.

Archaeological Artefacts as Material Culture
This book is an introduction to the study of artefacts, setting them in a social context rather than using a purely scientific approach. Drawing on a range of different cultures and extensively illustrated, Archaeological Artefacts and Material Culture covers everything from recovery strategies and recording procedures to interpretation through typology, ethnography and experiment, and every type of material including wood, fibers, bones, hides and adhesives, stone, clay, and metals. With over seventy illustrations with almost fifty in full colour, this book not only provides the tools an archaeologist will need to interpret past societies from their artefacts, but also a keen appreciation of the beauty and tactility involved in working with these fascinating objects. This is a book no archaeologist should be without, but it will also appeal to anybody interested in the interaction between people and objects.

Cultural Forests of the Amazon
Winner of the Society for Economic Botany's Mary W. Klinger Book Award. Cultural Forests of the Amazon is a comprehensive and diverse account of how indigenous people transformed landscapes and managed resources in the most extensive region of tropical forests in the world. Until recently, most scholars and scientists, as well as the general public, thought indigenous people had a minimal impact on Amazon forests, once considered to be total wildernesses. William Balée’s research, conducted over a span of three decades, shows a more complicated truth. In Cultural Forests of the Amazon, he argues that indigenous people, past and present, have time and time again profoundly transformed natu...

Objects and Others
History of Anthropology is a series of annual volumes, inaugurated in 1983, each of which treats an important theme in the history of anthropological inquiry. Objects and Others, the third volume, focuses on a number of questions relating to the history of museums and material culture studies: the interaction of museum arrangement and anthropological theory; the tension between anthropological research and popular education; the contribution of museum ethnography to aesthetic practice; the relationship of humanistic and anthropological culture, and of ethnic artifact and fine art; and, more generally, the representation of culture in material objects. As the first work to cover the development of museum anthropology since the mid-nineteenth century, it will be of great interest and value not only to anthropologist, museologists, and historians of science and the social sciences, but also to those interested in "primitive" art and its reception in the Western world.
