De logica van het landschap
Fossiele eiken, veen- of bostoponiemen, Romeinse houtskoolmeilers, wildforstersgoederen, kogelpotten, relieken en bescherming van het landschap: in De logica van het landschap geven 31 artikelen samen een beeld van het brede werkterrein van de archeologie en landschapsgeschiedenis. De auteurs zijn archeologen of onderzoekers uit aanpalende vakgebieden. Ze schrijven over de archeologie van Oost-Nederland en Limburg, over bossen en bosgeschiedenis, veengebieden en zandlandschappen, maar ook over onderwerpen als de voedingsmiddelenbehoefte, bevolkingsdichtheid, Oranjekeramiek en kerkarchitectuur. De logica van het landschap is een zeer gevarieerd en rijk geïllustreerd boek voor iedereen die ge...
De dam bij Wijk en het Kromme Rijngebied in de middeleeuwen
Negenhonderd jaar geleden – 1122-2022 – werd besloten de (Kromme) Rijn bij Wijk bij Duurstede af te dammen. Met de aanleg van de dam werd de Lekdijk van Amerongen naar Vreeswijk geheel gesloten. Het land in de lage broeklanden achter de dijk kon nu worden ontgonnen voor de landbouw. Zonder dam, zonder dijk en zonder ontginning zou het Kromme Rijngebied er tegenwoordig heel anders uitzien. Daarom dit herdenkingsboek, voorzien van veel illustraties en een groot aantal oude én nieuwe kaarten waarvan een deel nooit eerder is gepubliceerd. Het boek beschrijft hoe het landschap er vóór de afdamming uitzag, waar mensen toen woonden en hoe zij het land gebruikten. Het beantwoordt vragen als hoe en door wie het gebied is ontgonnen, welke rol de Utrechtse bisschop had en hoe het water buiten de deur werd (en wordt) gehouden. Daarnaast gaat het in op de latere ontwikkeling van dorpen en kastelen. Bijna veertig jaar geleden verscheen het standaardwerk van Dekker ‘Het Kromme Rijngebied in de Middeleeuwen’. Deze publicatie borduurt voort op dat werk en biedt nieuwe inzichten en bevindingen.
Golden Middle Ages in Europe
In July 2014, the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden hosted the second Dorestad congress, exactly five years after the first. This congress was attached to the exhibition Golden Middle Ages: The Netherlands in the Merovingian World, 400-700 AD and brought together scholars to discuss these 'Dark Ages', their burials and settlements, rituals and identities, and the position of the Low Countries in the world-wide networks of early-medieval Europe. The congress opened with a keynote lecture by dr. Gareth Williams (The British Museum). Sessions were devoted to key themes like early-medieval identity and agency, so-called royal burials in Europe, significant find categories like garnets, coins and Merovingian glass, important new sites and finds from the Low Countries and recent work in the Carolingian vicus famosus of Dorestad.
The Death of Archaeological Theory?
The Death of Archaeological Theory? addresses the provocative subject of whether it is time to discount the burden of somewhat dogmatic theory and ideology that has defined archaeological debate and shaped archaeology over the last 25 years. Seven chapters meet this controversial subject head on, also assessing where archaeological theory is now, and future directions. John Bintliff questions what theory is and argues that archaeologists should be freed from 'Ideopraxists', or those who preach that a single approach or model is right to the exclusion of all others. Marc Pluciennik again questions what we mean by archaeological theory and argues that the role of intellectual fashion is undere...
Selve oscure e alberi strani
Elemento centrale della vita delle società umane nell’età medievale, le “selve oscure” di dantesca memoria potevano essere usate come potenti metafore letterarie, ma rappresentavano anche spazi ecologici, nicchie di biodiversità, risorse economiche e oggetti di tutela giuridica. Per questo si propongono quale luogo per eccellenza di dialogo interdisciplinare. Le ricerche qui raccolte presentano alcuni dei molteplici approcci possibili allo studio dei boschi nell’Italia dei secoli XIII e XIV, coinvolgendo storici e storiche della letteratura e dell’arte, della cultura e della società, dell’economia e delle istituzioni, nonché studiosi e studiose di botanica, archeologia e paleobotanica.
Settlement Change Across Medieval Europe
Innovations, transmissions and transformations had profound spatial, economic and social impacts on the environments, landscapes and habitats evident at micro- and macro-levels. This volume explores how these changes affected how land was worked, how it was organized, and the nature of buildings and rural complexes.
Disasters and History
Disasters and History offers the first comprehensive historical overview of hazards and disasters. Drawing on a range of case studies, including the Black Death, the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 and the Fukushima disaster, the authors examine how societies dealt with shocks and hazards and their potentially disastrous outcomes. They reveal the ways in which the consequences and outcomes of these disasters varied widely not only between societies but also within the same societies according to social groups, ethnicity and gender. They also demonstrate how studying past disasters, including earthquakes, droughts, floods and epidemics, can provide a lens through which to understand the social, economic and political functioning of past societies and reveal features of a society which may otherwise remain hidden from view. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Spatial Analysis in Archaeology
This 1976 text is a pioneering study in the applications to archaeology of modern statistical and quantitative techniques. The authors show how these techniques, when sensitively employed, can dramatically extend and refine the information presented in distribution maps and other analyses of spatial relationships. Techniques of interpretation 'by inspection' can now be made more powerful and rigorous; at the same time interest has turned from the examination of such sites and artefacts as 'things' to the spatial relationships between such things, their relationships to one another and to landscape features, soils and other resources. This book was the first to apply the available techniques systematically to the special problems and interests of archaeologists. It also demonstrates to geographers and other social scientists who may be familiar with analogous applications in their own fields the exciting interdisciplinary developments this facilitates, for example in studies of exchange networks, trade and settlement patterns, and cultural history.
The Randstad
"The Randstad metropolitan region encompassing Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht in the western Netherlands is regarded worldwide as a model of a 'successful' polycentric metropolis. It is widely cited as an example of how a region of interconnected small cities can effectively compete globally by providing complementary functions which together match the power of large monocentric cities. The methods of strategic spatial planning, regional design and strategic projects that are said to underpin this polycentric metropolis are used as models for practitioners and students around the world. But is this high reputation deserved? Does the Randstad really function as a polycentric metr...
Digital Geoarchaeology
This book focusses on new technologies and multi-method research designs in the field of modern archaeology, which increasingly crosses academic boundaries to investigate past human-environmental relationships and to reconstruct palaeolandscapes. It aims at establishing the concept of Digital Geoarcheology as a novel approach of interdisciplinary collaboration situated at the scientific interface between classical studies, geosciences and computer sciences. Among others, the book includes topics such as geographic information systems, spatiotemporal analysis, remote sensing applications, laser scanning, digital elevation models, geophysical prospecting, data fusion and 3D visualisation, cate...
