Dorothy Garrod and the Progress of the Palaeolithic
Dorothy Garrod opened many doors; not only was she the first female professor at Cambridge University, but she illuminated - and in some cases initiated - some of prehistoric archaeology's most central issues. The quiet yet self possessed woman was best known as a fieldworker, often venturing into dangerous regions such as Kurdistan. Her first and highly successful excavation revealed fragments of Neanderthal fossils in Gibralter. This volume reviews modern research on this site, as well as exploring other issues which interested the Disney Professor of Archaeology: hominid remains from Mount Carmel; Palaeolithic sites in the Zagros Mountains, Bulgaria and Britain; and the cultural evidence for the beginning of Near Eastern food production, which Garrod called Natufian. Also included are papers concerned with her life, background and published work. The topics' span and continuing relevance are testament to Dorothy Garrod's remarkable character and great achievements.

Sciamanesimo senza sciamanesimo
Sono passati più di sessant’anni da quando lo storico delle religioni Mircea Eliade ha dato alle stampe la sua monografia dedicata allo sciamanesimo, un testo rivelatosi decisivo per imporre l’argomento nel dibattito interno alla storia delle religioni. La seconda edizione, aumentata e tradotta nel 1964 per il mercato editoriale statunitense, ha poi avuto un impatto significativo sui riferimenti culturali della giovane generazione dell’epoca. Sorprendentemente, e malgrado il successo dell’opera, non esiste a tutt’oggi un’analisi critica dedicata alla formazione eliadiana del concetto di sciamanesimo. Si è così creato un vuoto storiografico che ha gravato sulle ricostruzioni...
L'art pariétal
Si la préhistoire est bien la science dont le but est l'étude de l'homme d'avant l'écriture, Leroi-Gourhan, par la place centrale qu'il lui a accordée tout au long de son itinéraire scientifique, peut apparaître à juste titre comme l'un des fondateurs de cette discipline. De ces hommes préhistoriques il ne reste cependant que des traces encore amenuisées par l'action du temps. Et l'abondance des documents livrés par les fouilles du passé ne doit pas faire illusion : extraits de leur contexte sans indication précise sur leur situation dans le site et sur leurs relations avec les autres objets, ces documents ne nous apportent guère d'autre renseignement que celui de leur existence...
