Interdisciplinarity Between Humanities and Science
This volume incorporates original publications in the field straddling the Sciences and Humanities in honour of Prof.dr. Henk Kars, who held the first Chair of Archaeometry in The Netherlands since 1994.
Broadening Horizons
‘Broadening Horizons: multidisciplinary approaches to landscape study’ presents nine papers on physical landscape research in the Mediterranean and the Near East. Giving prime place to young researchers working in this field, it brings together highly diverse applications ranging from ground survey to semi-automated remote sensing, from cuneiform studies to palynology and from human geography to paradigm re-evaluation. Aimed at a public of both students and scholars with a shared interest in the study of past landscapes, its aims are dual. In presenting ongoing research which applies various techniques available to the student of landscape, it aims to add to the practice of these sub-fie...
Engineering Earth
This is the first book to examine the actual impact of physical and social engineering projects in more than fifty countries from a multidisciplinary perspective. The book brings together an international team of nearly two hundred authors from over two dozen different countries and more than a dozen different social, environmental, and engineering sciences. Together they document and illustrate with case studies, maps and photographs the scale and impacts of many megaprojects and the importance of studying these projects in historical, contemporary and postmodern perspectives. This pioneering book will stimulate interest in examining a variety of both social and physical engineering projects at local, regional, and global scales and from disciplinary and trans-disciplinary perspectives.
Landscape Archaeology Between Art and Science
This volume contains thirty-five papers from a 2010 conference on landscape archaeology focusing on the definition of landscape as used by processual archaeologists, earth scientists, and most historical geographers, in contrast to the definition favored by postprocessual archaeologists, cultural geographers, and anthropologists. This tension provides a rich foundation for discussion, and the papers in this collection cover a variety of topics including: how do landscapes change; how to improve temporal, chronological, and transformational frameworks; how to link lowlands with mountainous area.
The Materiality of Terracotta Sculpture in Early Modern Europe
Through meticulously researched case studies, this book explores the materiality of terracotta sculpture in early modern Europe. Chapters present a broad geographical perspective showcasing examples of modelling, firing, painting, and gilding of clay in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands. The volume considers known artworks by celebrated artists, such as Luca della Robbia, Andrea del Verrocchio, Filipe Hodart, or Hans Reichle, in parallel with several lesser-studied terracotta sculptures and tin-glazed earthenware made by anonymous artisans. This book challenges arbitrary distinctions into the fine art and the applied arts, that obscured the image of artistic production in the early modern world. The centrality of clay in the creative processes of artists working with two- and three-dimensional artefacts comes to the fore. The role of terracotta figures in religious practices, as well as processes of material substitutions or mimesis, confirm the medium’s significance for European visual and material culture in general. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Renaissance studies, and material culture.
Environmental Humanities
This book addresses the question if the broad interdisciplinary arena of Environmental Humanities is an acceleration of the process of integration that is central in Landscape Archaeology?
Advanced Algorithms for Mineral and Hydrocarbon Exploration Using Synthetic Aperture Radar
Advanced Algorithms for Mineral and Hydrocarbon Exploration Using Synthetic Aperture Radar is a research- and practically-based reference that bridges the gap between the remote sensing industry and the mineral and hydrocarbon exploration industry. In this context, the book explains how to commercialize the applications of synthetic aperture radar and quantum interferometry synthetic aperture radar (QInSAR) for mineral and hydrocarbon exploration. This multidisciplinary reference is useful for oil and gas companies, the mining industry, geoscientists, and coastal and petroleum engineers. - Presents both theoretical and practical applications of various types of remote sensing for hydrocarbon and mineral exploration - Covers specific problems for exploration professionals and provides applications for solving each problem - Includes more than 100 images and figures to help explain the concepts and applications described in the book
Nachhaltigkeit in der Geschichte
Nachhaltigkeit ist allgegenwärtig. Der Begriff erscheint in politischen Debatten, in den Medien, in Unternehmensphilosophien und im Supermarkt. In Folge erscheint der Begriff Nachhaltigkeit unscharf und beliebig. Auch in der Wissenschaft existieren unterschiedliche Konzepte und Definitionen, doch diesen gemeinsam ist die Idee von Dauerhaftigkeit, die auf die Forschungsobjekte bezogen wird. Der vorliegende Band versucht "Nachhaltigkeit" in der Geschichte aufzuspüren. Er folgt der Frage, ob und wie Menschen in der Vergangenheit die eigenen Bedürfnisse an Ressourcen befriedigten und gleichzeitig Rücksicht auf zukünftige Generationen nahmen. Das Buch öffnet dabei ein breites Spektrum an Fallbeispielen, die von den antiken Griechen bis zu Debatten über den Schutz des Waldes im 20. Jahrhundert reichen und neben der Geschichtswissenschaft auch die Archäologie, die Literaturwissenschaft und die Ökologie einbeziehen. Der Sammelband beruht auf Vorträgen, die im Rahmen der zentralen Ringvorlesung des Sommersemesters 2018 an der Universität Göttingen gehalten wurden.

oppidum - civitas – urbs
TOLETUM, das "Netzwerk zur Erforschung der Iberischen Halbinsel in der Antike", legt mit diesem Band erstmals ein deutsch-spanisches Kompendium zur Städteforschung vor. In 36 Beiträgen gewährt eine neue Generation von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern Einblick in ihre Untersuchungen einer Region des Mittelmeerraums, die wie keine andere in den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten durch spektakuläre Neufunde auf sich aufmerksam gemacht hat: Das Amphitheater von Corduba, das Theater und Forum von Carthago Nova oder Caesaraugusta, Teile der Stadtanlage von Segobriga und das Senatus consultum de Cn. Pisone patre, die Lex Irnitana - ja über 20.000 Inschriften. Auf der Grundlage eines interdisziplinären und traditionelle Periodisierungen überschreitenden Ansatzes bieten die Analysen von Stadtanlagen wie epigraphischen Monumenten neue Erkenntnisse in die bauliche Ausgestaltung und soziale Organisation der "Lebenswelt Stadt" zwischen Rom und al-Andalus.
