Abstract:

Field archeological activity of Lviv University during the interwar period is considered through the site protection legislation of the Second Commonwealth. There were two archaeological chairs at the university during the period under study – one of prehistory and one of classical archaeology. In fact, the Chair of the prehistory served as site protection institution. All reports of archaeological finds were sent at the same time to the conservator Zbigniew Hornung and to the heads of the chair. So, archaeologists of the University, depending on their scientific interests, visited these sites

Abstract:

North Italian Paths of Prehistory in South America: Argentine & Uruguay (1860–1880) This article aims to analyse the reception of the most well known works and discoveries in European prehistory in Argentina and Uruguay. The aim is to assess how terms and typologies proposed by French authors were adapted and challenged at a local level. Prehistorians from the north of the Italian peninsula played a fundamental role in this process. The article also refers to the news published in the Argentine press about the discoveries made in Europe, which inspired new vocations, particularly under the

His comments deserve quotation in full:…Classical archaeology is often stigmatized, by its many critics, as being ‘text-driven’ … [in] that the subject takes its orientation from, and adapts its whole narrative to, the lead given by the literary sources.

Abstract The first boot-shaped antler artifacts appear in the Shuangdun culture along the middle Huaihe River watershed at circa 7000 BP, before spreading out across the circum-Taihu Lake region, central Henan, and the Shandong Peninsula.

Abstract The present paper offers some thoughts on the complex issue of Italianate elements in Cretan icon painting by emphasizing the extent to which they can be considered to stem from motifs worked out in the mid-to-late fourteenth century in the wider, fluid space between Venice and the Eastern Mediterranean. It focuses on a cluster of Marian panels that, on account of their mixed Byzantine and Western character, have been hitherto confined to the margins of art-historical research and improperly labeled as works of a so-called “Adriatic” school.

Defining the southern margin of Beringia across which much of the early peopling of the Americas occurred, the Aleutians present a 9000 year record of human occupation in the eastern part of the island chain, and more than 3000 years in the west. Molecular evidence demonstrates: (1) that Aleuts shared common ancestry with Chukchi and Siberian Eskimos of Chukotka; (2) the original patterns of migration into the Aleutian islands were from the Alaskan

The emergence of the protruding front hall is closely related to the appearance of late Yangshao cave dwellings, where they serve an important role in maintaining the architectural stability of the dwelling.

Abstract:

 It is thought that there are three distinct concepts of temporality in the structure of the technique-object in prehistoric times. These are defined as the temporality of the structure of the technique, the temporality of the origin of the technique, and the temporality of the trajectory of the technique, each of which is thought to contain a memory of technical origin that is essentially an epiphylogenetic (epiphylogenesis) memory. At this point, according to some scholars, «technique» is first and foremost defined as a memory. However, as mentioned above, in the study of pr

Abstract:

Intricately decorated Lapita pottery (3100–2700 BP) was made and deposited by the prehistoric colonizers of Pacific islands, east of the main Solomon's chain. For decades, analyses of this pottery have focused on the ancestor–descendant relationships of populations and the relative degree of interaction across the region to explain similarities in Lapita decoration. Cladistic analyses, increasingly used to examine the evolutionary relationships of material culture assemblages, have not been conducted on Lapita artefacts. Here, we present the first cladistic analysis of Lapita pottery and note

The collection of the former Jagiellonian University Archaeological Cabinet (Gabinet Archeologiczny Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego) in Kraków is unique in Poland. This is the oldest archaeological academic collection in Poland and the only one to survive to the present day in a nearly unchanged form. The collection’s history goes back to 1867, when it was established by Józef Łepkowski, the creator of the first Chair of Archaeology in the Jagiellonian University. The basic bulk of the collection was accumulated after the January Uprising of 1863, in a period marked by increased interest in antiq

When, almost a century ago, Raphael Pumpelly put forward the ‘oasis theory’ for the origins of farming in the Near East, his was one of the first in a long series of explanations which looked to environment and ecology as the cause of the shift from hunting and gathering to cultivation and animal husbandry. Pumpelly envisaged climatic desiccation at the end of the last Ice Age as the primary factor, forcing humans, plants and animals into ever closer proximity as the arid zones expanded around them. Subsequent fieldworkers took the closer investigation of environmental changes as a key aim of

Introduction: The Gua Sha technique is a method from the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), having its origins in the prehistory, where they had the habit of rubbing their bodies to relieve symptoms of pain. The term “gua” means to scrape, brush, scratch and the term “Sha” has a more complex meaning such as sand or dirt. In China, this technique was and still is very used by the peasants. Gua Sha’s great effects exist by its simultaneous action on the skin, in the connective tissues, in the lymphatic system, in the muscles, blood vessels and the internal organs.

Identifying general patterns of colonization and radiation in island faunas is often hindered by past human-caused extinctions. The insular Caribbean is one of the only complex oceanic-type island systems colonized by land mammals, but has witnessed the globally highest level of mammalian extinction during the Holocene. Using ancient DNA analysis, we reconstruct the evolutionary history of one of the Caribbean's now-extinct major mammal groups, the insular radiation of oryzomyine rice rats. Despite the significant problems of recovering DNA from prehistoric tropical archaeological material, it

History is a truly important tool for understanding the realities of the present. This is especially true of academic disciplines, which cannot function without understanding the origins of the research questions, the methods of their development, or the limitations of a given era. The case is no different for archaeology, whose history, though equally “ancient”, is still underestimated by many. A case in point may be the fate of Warsaw archaeology, which for over 100 years, at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, developed in the Russian Partition of Poland.

As human society has progressed in its development, new challenges and threats to both individual and collective security have progressively emerged.

Large anthropogenic 14 C datasets are widely used to generate summed probability distributions (SPDs) as a proxy for past human population levels. However, SPDs are a poor proxy when datasets are small, bearing little relationship to true population dynamics. Instead, more robust inferences can be achieved by directly modelling the population and assessing the model likelihood given the data. We introduce the R package ADMUR which uses a continuous piecewise linear (CPL) model of population change, calculates the model likelihood given a 14 C dataset, estimates credible intervals using Markov
