Book Description
Los símbolos del caballo, el toro, el laberinto, el hacha, la serpiente, o la diosa, aparecen de forma recurrente en los mitos y leyendas de numerosas culturas; pero todos ellos hunden sus raíces en la Prehistoria. Saber interpretarlos es necesario para entender cabalmente las creencias de nuestros antepasados, pues no dejan de constituir una materialización de sus mitos. El arte prehistórico puede ser considerado, de ese modo, una herramienta de enorme valor para indagar en nuestro pasado y en los orígenes de las creencias religiosas del ser humano. Este libro aborda una rigurosa interpretación de las primeras manifestaciones artísticas, como pórtico al conocimiento de la Prehistoria. Su lectura nos revela la naturaleza última de la «primigenia religión»: un culto a la Diosa Madre, a la Madre Naturaleza y a los astros, codificados bajo diversas formas animales. De ella derivarán todos los cultos posteriores. Sus aspectos esenciales se mantendrán incólumes en los principios constituyentes de múltiples religiones, y en el legado cultural que encarnan los mitos y leyendas populares que conforman el acervo de la memoria colectiva. Así, lograremos comprender y analizar con mayor precisión el presente, a partir del conocimiento de los símbolos que presidían la vida de nuestros ancestros.

Book Description
This volume explores the pervasive influence exerted by some prehistoric monuments on European social life over thousands of years, and reveals how they can act as a node linking people through time, possessing huge ideological and political significance. Through the advancement of theoretical approaches and scientific methodologies, archaeologists have been able to investigate how some of these monuments provide resources to negotiate memories, identities, and power and social relations throughout European history. The essays in this collection examine the life-histories of carefully chosen megalithic monuments, stelae and statue-menhirs, and rock art sites of various European and Mediterranean regions during the Iron Age and Roman and Medieval times. By focusing on the concrete interaction between people, monuments, and places, the volume offers an innovative outlook on a variety of debated issues. Prominent among these is the role of ancient remains in the creation, institutionalization, contestation, and negotiation of social identities and memories, as well as their relationship with political economy in early historic European societies. By contributing to current theoretical debates on materiality, landscape, and place-making, The Lives of Prehistoric Monuments in Iron Age, Roman, and Medieval Europe seeks to overcome disciplinary boundaries between prehistory and history, and highlight the long-term, genealogical nature of our engagement with the world.

Book Description
Megalithic monuments are among the most striking remains of the Neolithic period of northern and western Europe and are scattered across landscapes from Pomerania to Portugal. Antiquarians and archaeologists early recognized the family resemblance of the different groups of tombs, attributing them to maritime peoples moving along the western seaways. More recent research sees them rather as the product of established early farming communities in their individual regions. Yet the diversity of the tombs, their chronologies and their varied cultural contexts complicates any straightforward understanding of their origins and distribution. Megalithic Architectures provides new insight by focusing on the construction and design of European megalithic tombs – on the tomb as an architectural project. It shows how much is to be learned from detailed attention to the stages and the techniques through which tombs were built, modified and enlarged, and often intentionally dismantled or decommissioned. The large slabs that were employed, often unshaped, may suggest an opportunistic approach by the Neolithic builders, but this was clearly far from the case. Each building project was unique, and detailed study of individual sites exposes the way in which tombs were built as architectural, social and symbolic undertakings. Alongside the manner in which the materials were used, it reveals a store of knowledge that sometimes differed considerably from one structure to another, even between contemporary monuments within a single region. The volume brings together regional specialists from Scandinavia, Germany, Britain, France, Belgium and Iberia to offer a series of uniquely authoritative studies. Results of recent fieldwork are fully incorporated and much of the material is published here for the first time in English. It provides an invaluable overview of the current state of research on European megalithic tombs.

Book Description
This is the third in the five-yearly series of surveys of what is happening in rock art studies around the world. As always, the texts reflect something of the great differences in approach and emphasis that exist in different regions. The volume presents examples from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the New World. During the period in question, 1999 to 2004, there have been few major events, although in the field of Pleistocene art many new discoveries have been made, and a new country added to the select list of those with Ice Age cave art. Some regions such as North Africa and the former USSR have seen a tremendous amount of activity, focusing not only on recording but also on chronology, and the conservation of sites. With the global increase of tourism, the management of rock art sites that are accessible to the public is a theme of ever-growing importance.

Book Description
The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal presents significant interpretive perspectives in Portuguese rock art research and offers an excellent representation of core rock art areas, along with current thinking and interpretations. The various chapters deliver a personal approach to the many issues, themes and approaches that are embedded within the rock art of the outpost of western Atlantic Europe. Ethnographical perspectives have often dominated the study of rock art but unlike other well-studied regions, the western Iberian Peninsula is absent of an ethnographical or ethno-historical past and therefore the production of rock art can only be archaeologically assessed. Thus, the work promotes interpretive perspectives on Portuguese rock art, illustrating the richness, chronology and context of these unique artistic expressions and explores the variability of rock art imagery and the diversity of landscapes and social contexts in which it was produced. Although focusing on Portuguese rock art the book includes a number of universal themes that will appeal to a broad range of scholars researching in archaeology and anthropology, history of art, as well as professionals engaged in rock art heritage and conservation.

Book Description
Alrededor del volcán Popocatépetl, los tiemperos, cuidadores del temporal o graniceros incursionan cada noche al mundo onírico para comunicarse con el volcán manteniéndolo contento, propiciando la lluvia y apaciguando el granizo que daña sus cosechas. Para los graniceros, la comunicación con el volcán es de vital importancia, sosteniendo una relación casi personal con él, considerándolo un ser vivo consciente con el cual comulgan día a día. A través de las narraciones de los sueños de Don Epifanio, el lector se adentrará en el inconsciente colectivo que permea el universo de los graniceros, en donde se manifiestan simbolísmos sincréticos a través de sus sueños arquetípicos que ayudan a comprender mejor la fusión espiritual que aun se aprecia en México.
