Making Journeys
Despite notable explorations of past dynamics, much of the archaeological literature on mobility remains dominated by accounts of earlier prehistoric gatherer-hunters, or the long-distance exchange of materials. Refinements of scientific dating techniques, isotope, trace element and aDNA analyses, in conjunction with phenomenological investigation, computer-aided landscape modeling and GIS-style approaches to large data sets, allow us to follow the movement of people, animals and objects in the past with greater precision and conviction. One route into exploring mobility in the past may be through exploring the movements and biographies of artifacts. Challenges lie not only in tracing the or...

Griot Potters of the Folona
Griot Potters of the Folona reconstructs the past of a particular group of West African women potters using evidence found in their artistry and techniques. The potters of the Folona region of southeastern Mali serve a diverse clientele and firing thousands of pots weekly during the height of the dry season. Although they identify themselves as Mande, the unique styles and types of objects the Folona women make, and more importantly, the way they form and fire them, are fundamentally different from Mande potters to the north and west. Through a brilliant comparative analysis of pottery production methods across the region, especially how the pots are formed and the way the techniques are tau...
Material Culture and (Forced) Migration
Material Culture and (Forced) Migration argues that materiality is a fundamental dimension of migration. During journeys of migration, people take things with them, or they lose, find and engage things along the way. Movements themselves are framed by objects such as borders, passports, tents, camp infrastructures, boats and mobile phones. This volume brings together chapters that are based on research into a broad range of movements – from the study of forced migration and displacement to the analysis of retirement migration. What ties the chapters together is the perspective of material culture and an understanding of materiality that does not reduce objects to mere symbols. Centring on ...
Mobility and Pottery Production
This book combines findings from archaeology and anthropology on the making, use and distribution of hand-made pottery, the rhythms of mobility involved and the transformations triggered by such processes, discussing different theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches.
Siedlungsstrukturen im Neolithikum
Die AG Neolithikum stellte neolithische Siedlungen, eine der wichtigsten Merkmale der Sesshaftwerdung, in den Fokus ihrer Sitzungen in Berlin (6.-7.10.2014, 8. Deutscher Archäologiekongress) und Erfurt (15.-18.6.2015, Gemeinschaftstagung von MOVA und WSVA). Ziel war es 2014, allgemeingültige Siedlungsmuster auf der Skala "Haus-Hof-Dorf" herauszuarbeiten und darauf aufbauend Erkenntnisse zu neolithischen Siedlungsstrukturen und -systemen zu gewinnen. Diese konnten 2015 durch das Miteinbeziehen architektonischer Sonderbauten und deren Interpretation um die Aspekte Ritual und Kult ergänzt werden. Der Tagungsband umfasst dreizehn Beiträge zu Siedlungsstrukturen aus der Zeit des Altneolithikums bis in das Endneolithikum und stellt sich der Herausforderung, eine Brücke zwischen Regel und Ausnahme zu schlagen.

Schnidi et la révolution néolithique
Été 2003. La canicule étouffe l’Europe. Dans les Alpes suisses, la chaleur fait fondre les glaciers et ouvre un chemin jusqu’au col du Schnidejoch. Après trois jours de marche, une randonneuse qui tentait l’ascension découvre un objet étrange d’environ 40 centimètres de long qu’elle ne parvient pas à identifier. Intriguée, elle l’emporte et décide de le faire examiner par une archéologue du musée d’Histoire de Berne. Cette dernière se rend compte qu’il s’agit d’un objet rare et ancien : un morceau de carquois resté enfermé près de 5 000 ans dans la glace ! C’est donc un témoignage direct d’une période de la Préhistoire qui a bouleversé l’humanité et provoqué une rupture dans l’histoire des hommes : la révolution néolithique. Parviendra-t-on à retrouver le corps momifié du propriétaire du carquois, surnommé Schnidi ? Qui étaient les hommes du Néolithique ? Nous ressemblaient-ils plus que nous le pensons ?
