Book Description
The National Museum in Denmark possesses a large number of vessels from Argentina. Very few people knew about the existence of archaeological material from Argentina at the National Museum. And none had ever investigated these materials; neither have there been any previous studies of Argentinian Archaeology in Denmark. Since 2003, the Ethnographic institutions in Stockholm and Göteborg were contacted to enlarge the knowledge of Argentinian Archaeology, as they have large collections of Argentinian artefacts. In Denmark, there are no institutions focusing on this subject. The investigation of the following material was presented at several international congresses in Denmark, Sweden and Argentina, and now culminate in the cataloguing of the archaeological material located at the National Museum in Denmark, providing a spectrum of Argentinian Archaeology.

Archaeologists and the Dead
Author: Howard Williams
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198753535
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
This volume addresses the relationship between archaeologists and the dead, through the many dimensions of their relationships: in the field (through practical and legal issues), in the lab (through their analysis and interpretation), and in their written, visual and exhibitionary practice--disseminated to a variety of academic and public audiences. Written from a variety of perspectives, its authors address the experience, effect, ethical considerations, and cultural politics of working with mortuary archaeology. Whilst some papers reflect institutional or organizational approaches, others are more personal in their view: creating exciting and frank insights into contemporary issues that have hitherto often remained "unspoken" among the discipline. Reframing funerary archaeologists as "death-workers" of a kind, the contributors reflect on their own experience to provide both guidance and inspiration to future practitioners, arguing strongly that we have a central role to play in engaging the public with themes of mortality and commemoration, through the lens of the past. Spurred by the recent debates in the UK, papers from Scandinavia, Austria, Italy, the US, and the mid-Atlantic, frame these issues within a much wider international context that highlights the importance of cultural and historical context in which this work takes place.

Perishable Material Culture in Prehistory
Author: Linda M. Hurcombe
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317814541
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
Perishable Material Culture in Prehistory provides new approaches and integrates a broad range of data to address a neglected topic, organic material in the prehistoric record. Providing news ideas and connections and suggesting revisionist ways of thinking about broad themes in the past, this book demonstrates the efficacy of an holistic approach by using examples and cases studies. No other book covers such a broad range of organic materials from a social and object biography perspective, or concentrates so fully on approaches to the missing components of prehistoric material culture. This book will be an essential addition for those people wishing to understand better the nature and importance of organic materials as the ’missing majority’ of prehistoric material culture.

Social Transformations in India, Myanmar, and Thailand: Volume I
Author: Chosein Yamahata
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811596166
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
“This book focuses on the different challenges and opportunities for social transformation in India, Myanmar and Thailand, by centering communities and individuals as the main drivers of change. In doing so, it includes discussions on a wide array of issues including women’s empowerment and political participation, ethno-religious tensions, plurilingualism, education reform, community-based healthcare, climate change, disaster management, ecological systems, and vulnerability reduction. Two core foundations are introduced for ensuring broader transformations. The first is the academic diplomacy project – a framework for an engaged academic enquiry focusing on causative, curative, transformative, and promotive factors. The second is a community driven collective struggle that serves as a grassroots possibility to facilitate positive social transformation by using locally available resources and enabling the participation of the resident population. As a whole, the book conveys the importance of a diversification of engagement at the grassroots level to strengthen the capacity of individuals as decisive stakeholders, where the process of social transformation makes communities more interconnected, interdependent, multicultural and vital in building an inclusive society.”
