Abstract:
The overseas American war cemeteries, in their aim to achieve “soft power” or cultural diplomacy during the mid-century, created high-value commissions in the American art world. The sought-after commissions resulted in an internal struggle between artists practicing traditional figural Classicism and the avant-garde who had adopted expressionism and abstraction. Additionally, a surging political stream of anti-Communism made artists vulnerable, because modern art seemed to underscore Communism’s abandonment of religion. By adopting demagoguery as political strategy, McCarthyists escalated the perception of Communism as present in the United States by targeting American culture, including artists of the American war cemeteries. Describing the struggles surrounding the creation of the cemeteries, this essay takes into account the artists’ biographies, statements, and actions, arguing that their art-making was not only critical in creating international diplomacy, but also in sustaining American freedom, particularly within an era of American political suspicion.

Abstract:
Cemeteries from the European Romantic period (18th–19th centuries) are often compared to small cities that hold memories, art, and history. Portuguese public cemeteries were first established in 1835 and became an interesting combination of fauna, flora, and monumental sculptures to mourn the dead at a location outside the limits of the city. Over the past 187 years, laws have been created and amended taking into consideration the needs of the population and the scientific knowledge available at each time point in history. Nevertheless, cemeteries have long been struggling with the lack of burial space which has been emphasised during the two years of the COVID pandemic. This work aims to review the development of Portuguese public cemeteries since their establishment, highlighting the imposed measures for the inhumation and exhumation of the deceased. It will also discuss the importance of soil as an abiotic agent, focusing on eight specific soil properties and their significance on the characterisation of graves. It is expected that a better understanding of the impact of soil on human taphonomy supports the role of city halls in managing public cemeteries, particularly the lack of burial space.

Abstract:
The acculturation Ashkenazic Jews in Italy is the focus of the present discussion. By 1500 Jews had been living in Padua for centuries, but their cemeteries were destroyed in the 1509. Four cemeteries remained with over 1200 inscriptions between 1530–1860. The literary features of the inscriptions indicate a shift from a preference for epitaphs written in prose, like those of medieval Germany, to epitaphs in the form of Italian Jewry's occasional poetry. The art and architecture of the tombstones are part and parcel of the Renaissance ambient, with the portals and heraldry characteristic of Palladian edifices. The lettering, too, presents a shift from the constituency's medieval Ashkenazic origins to its Italian setting. These developments are situated in the broader context of Italian Jewish art and architecture, while the literary innovations are shown to reflect the revival of the epigram among poets of the Italian Renaissance.

Abstract:
‭I have always been drawn to the wildness and beauty of the rural cemeteries in Southern Colorado where I grew up. Widowed at a young age, I decided to photograph all of the cemeteries in the San Luis Valley—burial plots, private and public, Pentecostal, Penitente, Protestant, and Catholic—to explain to myself and to others the mysteries of death, and faithful hope. I found a shared sorrow in the grave images in the cemeteries, and I was comforted. I then sought to offer comfort to others through my art—photographs, digital prints, and artist’s books. This article describes my experiences of the grave markers. I have coined the term “grave images,” at the heart of which is a simplicity that creates a powerful expressive form that carries the Holy. The grave artisans of the San Luis Valley in their myriad approaches—in sandstone carving, in concrete forming, in their alchemy of transforming ordinary materials into extraordinary ones—show their adept ability to visualize and transmit the Divine into material form. The mountain desert cemeteries are a sacred space filled with objects that reflect Divine realities and remind us of what lies beyond our prosaic life in this physical world.‬

Abstract:
Cemeteries are socially constructed spaces, understood as museum spaces and have examples of art and architecture that show the changes that occur in societies. The tumular architecture, object and research source of funeral archaeology, takes into account its conceptual and typological progression over time. This article examines architectural styles in seven cemeteries of three cities abroad and two Brazilian cities. Père Lachaise in Paris, Forest Lawn Memorial Park Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles and La Recoleta cemetery in Buenos Aires were analyzed. In Rio de Janeiro, the cemetery São João Batista and in Recife three cemeteries: the Lord Bom Jesus of Redemption - cemetery of Santo Amaro, the cemetery of the English and the Bom Jesus of Arraial, the Cemetery of Casa Amarela. The approach is related to cemiterial studies with the interface of funeral archaeology and tumular architecture. Forty jazigos were analyzed, including some architectural styles. This work raised the characteristics of these deposits, defining the styles employed, showing the relationship between styles and purchasing power with the use of materials and techniques corresponding to the socioeconomic status of the owners of the deposits.

Abstract:
This article seeks to gain an understanding of distinctive changes in certain artefacts produced in Corinth in the late eighth and seventh centuries BC. The focus is the development of figurative imagery on miniature ceramic vessels (many of them perfume jars) which travelled from Corinth particularly to sanctuaries and cemeteries in the wider Greek world. Connections, conceptual and material, are traced through the manufacture and iconography of some 2000 pots, through changing lifestyles, with juxtapositions of contemporary poetry from other parts of the Greek world. Aspects of embodiment are foregrounded in a discussion of stylization and drawing, the character of monstrosity (appearing in ceramic decoration), experiences of risk in battle, discipline and control. Techniques of the self (leading through the floral to wider lifestyles) also feature in this context, together with perfume, and the consumption or deposition of the pots in circumstances of contact with death and divinity. The argument is made that the articulation of an ideological field lay at the core of the changes of the early city states such as Corinth. The article is offered as a contribution to a contextual and interpretive archaeology. It attempts to develop concepts for dealing with power relations in an understanding of material culture production which foregrounds human agency and embodied experience.

Abstract:
The end of slavery in North America presented an opportunity for African Americans in Jacksonville, Florida to reinvent themselves. The reconstruction era brought about new social, political, and economic opportunities for African Americans living in Jacksonville. Despite the failure of Reconstruction and the implementation of Jim Crow, Jacksonville gave birth to a vibrant African American aristocracy. Jacksonville's Black elite comprised of doctors, lawyers, morticians, religious leaders, business people and other professionals. Jacksonville's Black elite thrived in the early half of the twentieth century, many of them used their knowledge and skills to contribute to the social and economic development of Jacksonville's African American community. During this period, Jacksonville's African American aristocracy provided their community with legal protection, healthcare, vocational training, employment opportunities, goods, and other critical services such as life insurance and burial. This study centers on a historical African American cemetery cluster that was established during the early twentieth century by Jacksonville's Black aristocrats. This cemetery cluster consists of four cemeteries which include: Pinehurst, Mount Olive, Sunset Memorial, and Memorial. This cluster is located on the Northside of Jacksonville city, along the intersecting roads of 45th street and Moncrief road, and contains an estimated 70,000 African American burials. I argue that this cemetery is reflective of the social, political, and economic changes undergone by Jacksonville's African American community.

A pesquisa intitulada História e Arte Funerária dos Cemitérios São José I e II em Porto Alegre (1888-2014) analisa as mudanças culturais no trato com a morte e com o sepultamento, bem como com o impacto dessas mudanças para a preservação da arte cemiterial. Apresentamos ao leitor um histórico dos principais cemitérios de Porto Alegre, com foco nos Cemitérios São José I e II, pertencentes à Comunidade de Alemães Católicos de São José. Desde 2000, os Cemitérios São José I e São José II sofrem a gradual subtração de seus monumentos funerários em virtude da construção de um estacionamento anexo a um crematório. O estudo aborda também a obra das marmorarias que construíram os túmulos dos Cemitérios São José I e II, em especial a Marmoraria Casa Aloys (1894-1961). Além do inventário tumular, realizamos um levantamento dos sepultados nos cemitérios de São José, encontrando ali diversos nomes importantes, ligados a atividades artísticas e culturais no Rio Grande do Sul, como os pintores Pedro Weingärtner e José Lutzenberger. Propomos, ainda, um roteiro para visita monitorada que apresente à sociedade estes e outros mortos ilustres sepultados nos Cemitérios São José I e II.<br>The research entitled History and Funerary Art of São José I and II Cemeteries in Porto Alegre (1888-2014) examines the cultural changes in dealing with death and burial, as well as the impact of these changes for the preservation of graveyard art. We present the reader with a history of the major cemeteries in Porto Alegre, focusing on Cemeteries São José I and II, owned by the Community of Catholic Germans of São José. Since 2000, Cemeteries São José I and II suffer the gradual subtraction of their funerary monuments due to construction of an annex parking at a crematorium. The study also addresses the work of marble yards which built the tombs of Cemeteries São José I and II, especially the marble yard Casa Aloys (1894-1961). Besides the tomb inventory, we conducted a survey of those buried in the Cemeteries São José, finding several important names linked to artistic and cultural activities in Rio Grande do Sul, such as painters Pedro Weingärtner and Jose Lutzenberger. We also propose an itinerary for a guided tour to present to the society these and other illustrious dead buried in Cemeteries São José I and II.

Abstract:
Summary: Written, visual and material evidence demonstrates that the indigenous and immigrant peoples of nineteenth century New Zealand both retained aspects of their traditional burial practices and forms of memorialisation while modifying others in response to their new environmental and social contexts. Maori had developed a complex set of burial rituals by the beginning of the nineteenth century, practised within the framework of tangihanga. These included primary and secondary burial and limited memorialisation, with practices varying between iwi. Change and continuity characterised the development of Maori burial practices and materials, translated traditional practices into new materials, and new practices into traditional materials. Although urupa came to appear more European, they were still firmly embedded in the framework of tangihanga and notions of tapu. The nineteenth century settlement of New Zealand occurred at a time of transition in British burial practices, with the traditional churchyard burial ground giving way to the modern cemetery. The predominantly British settlers transplanted both institutions to the colonial context. The cemeteries, churchyards and burial grounds created in nineteenth century New Zealand were influenced by a great number of factors. These included the materials available, the religious and ethnic make up of settler society, regionalism, economic ties, major events, political and social conditions, means of establishment and function. These processes, events, and influences resulted in a rich yet neglected material culture of urupa, cemeteries, churchyards, burial grounds and lone graves which are today valuable components of our historic and cultural landscapes. Portions of this heritage have already been lost through decay and destruction. Neglect is now the major threat. Part of this neglect is due to the fact that we do not understand our cemeteries, what they show, how and why they have developed over time. Neglect is also engendered by cultural perceptions of what is valuable. While Maori regard urupa and burial places as toanga and sacred sites, Pakeha have tended to ignore their historic cemeteries. Such attitudes have been reflected and enforced by the policy of external agencies such as the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. New Zealand�s nineteenth century cemeteries have a great but under-utilised research potential, which it is important to recognise if we wish to preserve them.

Abstract:
This dissertation deals with sepulchral artworks of Franta Úprka (1868-1929), the Czech sculptor. At first his life is described. Franta Úprka was born in Kněždub, south-eastern Moravia. Beginning of his artistic activity belonged to the end of 19th century, when he worked as an assistant of two famous Czech sculptors - A. P. Wagner and Bohuslav Schnirch. His own career took place in the first two decades of the 20th century. Name Úprka is best known for Joža Uprka, Moravian painter and Franta's elder brother. Although Franta Úprka lived and worked in Prague from 1890th, the midpoint of his artistic interests and main theme of his sculptures was depicting people, traditions and subjects from his home country, Moravian Slovakia. Moravian Slovakia was specific part of Moravian countryside full of long lasting and still surviving folklore, folk traditions, peculiar vivacious characters and intact nature. As Auguste Rodin said during his visit of Moravian Slovakia in 1902 it was kind a Greek Helada overflowing with bright colours, sunshine and cheerful relaxed atmosphere. On the other side, common people lived there their uneasy rural lives with all ordinary worries and pleasures. Both sights of the issue were solved by Úprka's artworks. Very specific and the most significant part of his chef-d'oeuvre...

Abstract:
AbstractThis is a study of a group of people living in south-central Slovakia who wish to reconnect with their ancestral land. This group has decided to return to the abandoned cultural landscape in former hamlets. The area they are returning to, like many other similar areas around Europe, is characterized by demographic change through outmigration by young generations and aging populations. To facilitate their return, a group of anthropologists have conducted research of original adaptation strategies, historical migrations, and demographic changes in selected localities. At the same time, the areas’ last inhabitants began to revitalize cemeteries—symbolic places. The anthropologists facilitated this restoration process by conducting oral histories, developing maps of traditional areas, and compiling ethnohistorical research data. The abandoned cemeteries acquired a new function after their restoration—they speak to the public as an environmental argument for the fragility of landscape sustainability.

Abstract This era witnessed an upsurge of railway networks in countries such as Britain, Switzerland and India. The importance of railways for economies, as well as the travel and tourism industry, has been highlighted in several studies particularly in the last few decades. In current days, high-speed rail contributes to increased tourism arrivals in regional tourism economies of countries such as China and Japan, while technological advancements in trains may even embrace augmented reality games for passengers. In other cases, the train or/and journey itself becomes the main component of the tourist experience. In such cases, the rail experience is complemented with luxurious fittings or vintage aesthetics while travelling through scenic routes. This chapter also emphasizes the early beginning of war or dark tourism, wherein the cemeteries and/or museums related to World War I and II are starting to be part of the itineraries of travellers.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractPlague pamphlets like Thomas Dekker’s The Wonderfull Yeare (1603), Newes from Graves-end (1604), and A Rod for Runawayes (1625) recount devastating, large-scale outbreaks of bubonic plague in early modern London, chronicling a metropolitan state of crisis in which normality is suspended and Londoners live in mortal fear of the dead and the dying (while country folk live in mortal fear of Londoners). Amid the terror of contagion, with parochial cemeteries overflowing and the urban economy near a standstill, conventional funerary practices are supplanted by emergency measures. In his pamphlets, Dekker indicts sins—mostly of omission—committed in this climate against the infected and their mortal remains. Dekker laments that plague victims may be treated in death like convicted criminals or suicides but his especial horror is reserved for the mass grave which he understands as the worst possible affront to the dignity of the deceased. Although the historical accuracy of Dekker’s portrayal of plague burial is debatable (especially given the evidence provided by the 2015 New Churchyard excavations), he demonstrates striking conceptions of postmortem agency and individuality in the plague pamphlets. He recalls the dead from the convenient concealment of the grave and makes them visible once more (to the mind’s eye) and it is in this visibility that their agency resides.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines how Taiwan’s written media justified the state’s introduction of funeral reforms in the second half of the twentieth century. Situating this case study within the broader sociopolitical context of contemporary Taiwan, it illustrates how discourse analysis can be used as a tool for studying change. The state-led reforms induced changes in a field in which religious rituals play an important role, as state authorities operated with priorities differing from ritual practice. Instead, they were concerned with measures for land saving and popularized practices such as cremation or natural burials. The discourse analysis reveals that the justifications brought forward for reforms appeared with a high degree of consistency starting from the late 1970s in Taiwanese press articles. Following Michel Foucault’s understanding of discursive formations, four sub-formations can be distinguished, which all have in common that they are aimed at problematizing ritual practices prevalent at funerals. These sub-formations consisted of considerations concerning the quantitative limits of available cemetery land for graves, arguments referring to the economic advantages of cremation, articulations of the ideal of green cemeteries designed in a park-like fashion, and a critique of geomancy in labeling it superstitious. The discursive voices emerging in the sub-formations were state and local authorities, as well as experts and journalists commenting on reform measures. These priorities and justifications for reforms appeared to be incompatible with religious funeral rituals and are analyzed as changes in terms of a secularization process of Taiwan’s funerary practice. An important finding is that the secular reform measures were, to a large extent, inspired by similar reforms in other regions in the world, and are as such part of a global pattern.

This chapter discusses Jewish culture as it once was, which stands in sharp and powerful contrast to the ruins of Poland. It illustrates towns and villages of Polish Galicia in the present-day that still has vivid traces of the strength and splendour of Jewish culture before its destruction during the Holocaust. It also mentions synagogues and Jewish cemeteries that escaped being substantially damaged by the Germans or have been meticulously restored. The chapter looks at remarkable buildings and monuments that are far from being desolate, abandoned, and in ruins, which existed in Galicia before the genocide. It describes the art and architecture of Galician synagogues that were influenced by mystical ideas and encouraged with a richness of decorative features that cannot be found in other countries where Jews of Polish origin live.

Abstract:
Большинство погребальных памятников второй половины VIII – начала X в. на Среднем Дону представлено двумя типами объектов. К первому относятся катакомбные могильники, оставленные аланами. Ко второму типу относятся ямные могильники, которые нельзя связать с каким-то определенным раннесредневековым этническим объединением. Донские аланы, оставившие катакомбные могильники, существенно отличались от носителей ямного обряда своим происхождением, морфологическим обликом и хозяйственно-культурными традициями. Несмотря на эти различия, керамика катакомбных и ямных могильников Среднего Дона имеет много общего как в технологии, так и по морфологии. В статье исследуется вопрос о причинах этого сходства на примере лощеной столовой посуды, которая является одним из наиболее ярких «маркеров» салтово-маяцких древностей. Анализу подвергнуты археологические, антропологические, экспериментальные и этнографические данные. На основании результатов исследования высказано предположение, что население салтово-маяцкой культуры, оставившее на Среднем Дону ямные могильники, не имело собственного производства лощеной посуды, а использовало посуду, изготовленную аланскими гончарами. Institute of Archaeology of Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia Most of funeral monuments from the second half of the 8th - beginning of the 10th century in the middle Don River are represented by two types of objects. The first type includes catacomb cemeteries left by the Alans. The second one consists of pit grave cemeteries which can’t be referred to any certain early medieval ethnic association. The Don Alans who left catacomb cemeteries differed significantly from the bearers of the pit grave tradition by their origin, morphological appearance and economical and cultural traditions. In spite of these differences the pottery of the catacomb and pit grave cemeteries in the middle Don River has a lot in common both in technology and morphology. The article analyses the issue of this similarity on the example of polished pottery which is one of the clearest markers of the Saltovo-Mayaki antiquities. The archaeological, anthropological, experimental and ethnographical data were scrutinized. Based on the results of the study it has been suggested that the population of the Saltovo-Mayaki culture which left pit grave cemeteries in the middle Don River didn’t have self-produced polished pottery, but used wares made by the Alan potters.

Abstract:
Săgeata is the seat of the commune with the same name in Buzău county. The names on the funeral monuments in the cemeteries found in this settlement are specific to Romanian rural space. As far as their origin is concerned, one can note that 25.9% are biblical names, originating in Christianity and with religious connotations, 20.3% have Slavic roots and were borrowed via Bulgarian, whereas 7.4% are of Slavic origin and entered the Romanian language via Greek. Epitaphs consist of messages or appeals to wisdom, adages which were “sung” to express the regret of dying, appeals to remember the deceased, words which conveyed resignation before one’s destiny or the grief of the beloved, various philosophical phrases, and sometimes small prayers or personalized verses, etc. The oldest epitaph in the cemeteries in Săgeata dates back to 1892.

Abstract:
Discovered in 1965 by Cécile and Roland Mourer in the limestone massifs of the Battambang region in Cambodia, the Lang Spean cave is a karstic cavity with three main chambers with a floor area of about 1000 m2 and a vault height of thirty metres. The archaeological sequence of Laang Spean now includes several meters thick level of ancient activity dated between 71,000 and 26,000 years ago surmounted by a Hoabinhian occupation (11,000-5,000 BP), with a third summit level characterized by Neolithic tombs. Cemeteries and funeral spaces are major sites in Southeast Asia still used to reconstruct the chrono-cultural sequence of the region. However, their studies present a failure to take into account the funerary nature of the studied sites. Archeothanatology, although partly known by colleagues working in Southeast Asian has not been developed sufficiently leading to numerous problems linked to the real nature of the sites. A burial site where individuals chosen by a community have been placed presents an altered vision of the population, whereas a study of funerary gestures and recruitment makes possible to understand these choices. Thus, the discovery of Neolithic burials at Laang Spean was the opportunity to implement an excavation protocol that follows the principles of archeothantology including to determine the positioning of the defunct at the time of burial in order to illustrate the funerary practice carried out by its original population. Despite the fragility of the bones we carried out observations and measurements useful for determining the biological characteristics, including sex, age, stature or pathologies of the individuals uncovered and, direct dating were successful. Finally, the Laang Spean cave appears to be a Neolithic funerary cave according to its dating but showing some characteristics found in the Metal age on the nearby Khorat plateau.

Abstract:
In the southwest of the Algerian Sahara, Taguelzi is one of the fortified settlement oases forming the network of the Gourara defensive structures situated on the southern edge of the Ouled Aïssa Hmada. It is a large and long flat limestone area, which borders, from north to south, the west side of the Timimoun sebkha. Despite its position on the periphery of Charouine, one of the Gourara sub-region main human settlement, Taguelzi is exactly situated at the crossroads of ancient caravan routes linking sub-Saharan Africa to the Atlantic shores and the Mediterranean world through both the Messaoura wadi and the shortcut to Figuig in Morocco, across the Great Western Erg. Taguelzi strategic position, on the southern cornice of the Ouled Aïssa hamada facing the north of Moulay Mohemmed Erg, an arm of the Great Western Erg, allows to reach the Aougrout, the main sub region of the Gourara, through the Deldoul sub region in few hours, and eventually from there to get to the Gourara main cities. By using a space anthropological approach based on spatiality vocabulary, we have tried to understand this Saharan settlement formed by twelve distinct defensive inhabited structures and why some of them are considered as “dead ruins” and others as still “alive ruins”. Taguelzi twelve fortified inhabited structures reported through “the spatiality living word” reveals the living space organization complexity at the territory scale and may explain the morphogenesis of those defensive structures which gave birth to troglodyte habitat, to stone defensive towers and double walled fortifications with gardens, wells, water system irrigation and wide-open cemeteries. Today, despite unsuccessful state rehabilitation projects and the fortifications advanced state of ruins after the 2008 devastating floods, the inhabitants still clearly identify and refer to them as the twelve “i𝛾amawen of Taguelzi”.

Abstract:
The cemeterial units, are places of social practices of everyday life and worship and the tomb where nostalgia can be externalized and the memory of the deceased revered. In Western societies we can find a category of artifacts meant to evoke the memory or honor the dead. In this paper we we mention three examples of products that enabled a reflection on the concepts that gave rise to their ways, and that risks to fit them into a new "material culture", in that it may have created a break with the traditional system codes and standards shared by companies, and its manifestations in relation to the physical creation of this category of products. This work offers a reflection on the Design Products.What probably makes it special is the field where it is located: the design of products in one post mortem memory. Usually made of granite rock or marble, have the form of plate or tablet, open book or rolled sheet. On one side have a photograph of the person who intend to honor and inscriptions. The thought of inherent design of this work put on one side the intricate set of emotions that this type of product can generate, and other components more affordable, and concerning the form, function and object interactions with users and with use environments. In the definition of the problem it was regarded as mandatory requirements: differentiation, added value and durability as key objectives.The first two should be manifested in the various components / product attributes. The aesthetic and material/structural durability of product necessarily imply the introduction of qualifying terms and quantitative weights, which positively influence the generation and evaluation of concepts based on the set of 10 principles for the project that originated a matrix as a tool to aid designing products. The concrete definition of a target audience was equally important. At this stage, the collaboration of other experts in the fields of psychology and sociology as disciplines with particular ability to understand individuals and social phenomena respectively was crucial. It was concluded that a product design to honor someone post mortem, should abandon the more traditional habits and customs to focus on identifying new audiences. Although at present it can be considered a niche market, it is believed that in the future may grow as well as their interest in this type of products.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3323

Abstract:
This project was undertaken to provide the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration with a cultural landscape survey of Knoxville National Cemetery. The 9.8-acre cemetery is located within the city limits of Knoxville, Tennessee, and contains more than 9,000 buri-als. Knoxville National Cemetery was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on 12 September 1996, as part of a multiple-property submission for Civil War Era National Cemeteries. The National Cemetery Administration tasked the U.S. Army Engineer Re-search and Development Center-Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) to inventory and assess the cultural landscape at Knoxville National Cemetery through creation of a landscape development context, a description of current conditions, and an analysis of changes over time to the cultural landscape. All landscape features were included in the survey because according to federal policy on National Cemeteries, all national cemetery landscape features are considered to be contributing elements.

Abstract:
Why research Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Scotland? Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeology sheds light on the first colonisation and subsequent early inhabitation of Scotland. It is a growing and exciting field where increasing Scottish evidence has been given wider significance in the context of European prehistory. It extends over a long period, which saw great changes, including substantial environmental transformations, and the impact of, and societal response to, climate change. The period as a whole provides the foundation for the human occupation of Scotland and is crucial for understanding prehistoric society, both for Scotland and across North-West Europe. Within the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods there are considerable opportunities for pioneering research. Individual projects can still have a substantial impact and there remain opportunities for pioneering discoveries including cemeteries, domestic and other structures, stratified sites, and for exploring the huge evidential potential of water-logged and underwater sites. Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeology also stimulates and draws upon exciting multi-disciplinary collaborations. Panel Task and Remit The panel remit was to review critically the current state of knowledge and consider promising areas of future research into the earliest prehistory of Scotland. This was undertaken with a view to improved understanding of all aspects of the colonization and inhabitation of the country by peoples practising a wholly hunter-fisher-gatherer way of life prior to the advent of farming. In so doing, it was recognised as particularly important that both environmental data (including vegetation, fauna, sea level, and landscape work) and cultural change during this period be evaluated. The resultant report, outlines the different areas of research in which archaeologists interested in early prehistory work, and highlights the research topics to which they aspire. The report is structured by theme: history of investigation; reconstruction of the environment; the nature of the archaeological record; methodologies for recreating the past; and finally, the lifestyles of past people – the latter representing both a statement of current knowledge and the ultimate aim for archaeologists; the goal of all the former sections. The document is reinforced by material on-line which provides further detail and resources. The Palaeolithic and Mesolithic panel report of ScARF is intended as a resource to be utilised, built upon, and kept updated, hopefully by those it has helped inspire and inform as well as those who follow in their footsteps. Future Research The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarized under four key headings:  Visibility: Due to the considerable length of time over which sites were formed, and the predominant mobility of the population, early prehistoric remains are to be found right across the landscape, although they often survive as ephemeral traces and in low densities. Therefore, all archaeological work should take into account the expectation of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic ScARF Panel Report iv encountering early prehistoric remains. This applies equally to both commercial and research archaeology, and to amateur activity which often makes the initial discovery. This should not be seen as an obstacle, but as a benefit, and not finding such remains should be cause for question. There is no doubt that important evidence of these periods remains unrecognised in private, public, and commercial collections and there is a strong need for backlog evaluation, proper curation and analysis. The inadequate representation of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic information in existing national and local databases must be addressed.  Collaboration: Multi-disciplinary, collaborative, and cross- sector approaches must be encouraged – site prospection, prediction, recognition, and contextualisation are key areas to this end. Reconstructing past environments and their chronological frameworks, and exploring submerged and buried landscapes offer existing examples of fruitful, cross-disciplinary work. Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeology has an important place within Quaternary science and the potential for deeply buried remains means that geoarchaeology should have a prominent role.  Innovation: Research-led projects are currently making a substantial impact across all aspects of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeology; a funding policy that acknowledges risk and promotes the innovation that these periods demand should be encouraged. The exploration of lesser known areas, work on different types of site, new approaches to artefacts, and the application of novel methodologies should all be promoted when engaging with the challenges of early prehistory.  Tackling the ‘big questions’: Archaeologists should engage with the big questions of earliest prehistory in Scotland, including the colonisation of new land, how lifestyles in past societies were organized, the effects of and the responses to environmental change, and the transitions to new modes of life. This should be done through a holistic view of the available data, encompassing all the complexities of interpretation and developing competing and testable models. Scottish data can be used to address many of the currently topical research topics in archaeology, and will provide a springboard to a better understanding of early prehistoric life in Scotland and beyond.
