This volume addresses the directions that studies of archaeological human remains have taken in a number of different countries, where attitudes range from widespread support to prohibition. Overlooked in many previous publications, this diversity in attitudes is examined through a variety of lenses, including academic origins, national identities, supporting institutions, archaeological context and globalization. The volume situates this diversity of attitudes by examining past and current tendencies in studies of archaeologically-retrieved human remains across a range of geopolitical settings. In a context where methodological approaches have been increasingly standardized in recent decades, the volume poses the question if this standardization has led to a convergence in approaches to archaeological human remains or if significant differences remain between practitioners in different countries. The volume also explores the future trajectories of the study of skeletal remains in the different jurisdictions under scrutiny.

Archaeologists, anthropologists, and classicists discuss how urbanization first emerged in strikingly different sociopolitical contexts in North America, Europe, and the Near East. The pursuit for universally applicable definitions of the terms urban and city has frequently distracted scholars from scrutinizing processes of how ancient nucleated settlements evolved and developed. Based on the premise that similar social dynamics to a great extent governed nucleation trajectories throughout human history, Coming Together focuses on both prehistoric aggregated and early urban settlements. Drawing from a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, archaeologists, anthropologists, and classicists discuss how nucleation unfolded in strikingly different sociopolitical contexts in North America, Europe, and the Near East. The major themes of the volume are nucleations origins, pathways to sustainability, and the transformative role of these sites in sociopolitical and cultural change.

Bandejar la memòria de Martín Almagro Basch, fer com si la seva etapa a Barcelona no hagués existit. Aquesta va ser la posició que arqueòlegs catalans com Lluís Pericot, Miquel Tarradell, Joan Maluquer de Motes, Antoni Arribas i Eduard Ripoll, entre d’altres, van adoptar quan Almagro, que havia estat el mestre de bona part d’ells, es traslladà a Madrid el 1962. Format a Madrid i afecte al règim, Almagro fou nomenat director del Museu Arqueològic Provincial de Barcelona en substitució de Pere Bosch Gimpera, que s’havia exiliat. Amb habilitats polítiques i una innegable capacitat de treball, aconseguí un poder quasi absolut sobre la recerca i la difusió de l’arqueologia a ...
