Book Description
Este libro introduce y desarrolla en profundidad las posibilidades reales que tienen investigadores e investigadoras en Arqueología, Historia y Paleontología en "datar" el pasado de la humanidad. En los últimos años, la gran cantidad y mayor precisión de las fechas de radiocarbono y otros métodos, ha obligado a cambiar la manera de abordar la cronología del "pasado". Los distintos capítulos de este libro, escritos por prestigiosos especialistas cubren tanto los aspectos más técnicos y tecnológicos de la dendrocronología, el radiocarbono, la termoluminiscencia, el paleomagnetismo y otros métodos, sin descuidar una cuidada reflexión teórica sobre la idea del tiempo histórico. En el libro se abordan también aspectos metodológicos fundamentales de base estadística, como la cronología relativa (estratigráfica), la seriación y la calibración de dataciones isotópicas. Estos temas se tratan con rigor, pero también de manera práctica con numerosos ejemplos históricos y arqueológicos reales para ayudar al lector/lectora a sacar provecho de las nuevas tecnologías.

Book Description
This book highlights new and innovative approaches to archaeological research using computational modeling while focusing on the Neolithic transition around the world. The transformative effect of the spread and adoption of agriculture in prehistory cannot be overstated. Consequently, archaeologists have often focused their research on this transition, hoping to understand both the ecological causes and impacts of this shift, as well as the social motivations and constraints involved. Given the complex interplay of socio-ecological factors, the answers to these types of questions cannot be found using traditional archaeological methods alone. Computational modeling techniques have emerged as an effective approach for better understanding prehistoric data sets and the linkages between social and ecological factors at play during periods of subsistence change. Such techniques include agent-based modeling, Bayesian modeling, GIS modeling of the prehistoric environment, and the modeling of small-scale agriculture. As more archaeological data sets aggregate regarding the transition to agriculture, researchers are often left with few ways to relate these sets to one another. Computational modeling techniques such as those described above represent a critical next step in providing archaeological analyses that are important for understanding human prehistory around the world. Given its scope, this book will appeal to the many interdisciplinary scientists and researchers whose work involves archaeology and computational social science.

Book Description
Los profesores Santacana y Hernàndez realizan una interesante reflexión de carácter didáctico sobre la antropología, la arqueología y la prehistoria, así como sobre la función de estas disciplinas en la enseñanza. Esta obra da a conocer algunos aspectos del pasado remoto que nos ayudan a comprender el porqué la cultura occidental ha logrado ser hegemónica y plantea la pregunta de si el mundo actual fue la única opción posible. El libro contiene también algunas sugerencias prácticas de trabajo dirigidas al profesorado.

Book Description
The study of the Neolithic transition constitutes a major theme in prehistoric research. The process of economic change, from foraging to farming, involved one of the main transformations in human behavior patterns. This volume focuses on investigating the neolithization process at the periphery of one of the main routes in the expansion of the Neolithic in Europe: the Western Mediterranean region. Recent advances in radiocarbon dating, mathematical and computational models, archaeometric analysis and biomolecular techniques, together with new archaeological discoveries, provide novel insights into this topic. This volume is organized into five sections: · new discoveries and new ideas about the Mediterranean Neolithic · reconstructing times and modeling processes · landscape interaction: farming and herding · dietary subsistence of early farming communities · human dispersal mechanisms and cultural transmission This volume will also provide new empirical data to help readers assess different theoretical frameworks and narratives which underlie the models proposed to explain the expansion of farming from the Middle East into Europe.
