Abstract:
The work of French ethnologist and prehistorian André Leroi-Gourhan (1911–86) represents an important episode in twentieth-century intellectual history. This essay follows the development of Leroi-Gourhan's relationship to the discipline of ethnology from his early work on Arctic Circle cultures to his post-war texts on the place of ethnology in the human sciences. It shows how in the pre-war period there is already a conscious attempt to articulate a more comprehensive form of ethnology including the facts of natural environment and material culture. The essay also indicates the biographical importance of Leroi-Gourhan's mission to Japan as a decisive and formative experience of ethnographic fieldwork, combining the learning of a language with extended immersion in a distinctive material and mental culture. Finally, it explores how in the post-war period Leroi-Gourhan's more explicit meta-commentaries on the scope of ethnology argue for an extension of the discipline's more traditional domains of study to include the relatively neglected areas of language, technology and aesthetics.

Abstract:
The article describes an interdisciplinary study that uses the means of ethnology and materials science. This approach is quite unusual in the Czech environment. Specifically, it concerns detailed materials analyses of samples of plaster which were acquired during ethnological research on selected recent buildings in South Moravia. The studied plaster samples from folk buildings in the Znojmo area are probably from the twentieth century. However, it cannot be ruled out that the buildings are older. In addition to traditional and mostly inorganic pigments, the plaster samples were also coloured using synthetic pigments, which corresponded to their availability on the market. Besides the description of the set of samples, the article also demonstrates the potential of applying natural-scientific methods to analyse plaster and its pigments for ethnology. At present, these methods are common in materials engineering and are used in restoration work.

Abstract The sustainable development concept has been detailed in several strategic documents which, among other things, point out that it is a complex issue and should be explored at the inter-disciplinary level. Examples of the current ethnological research of cities concerning transformations of post-socialist urban spaces in the context of civic initiatives and participative planning and participative budget demonstrate the possibilities of ethnology in applying the sustainable development principles in an urban environment.

Abstract:
Introduction. Retrospective studies of the human-society-environment system are increasingly ranked among the interdisciplinary problems of philosophy, ecology, paleography, history, ethnology and other scientific disciplines. Scientists are beginning to understand that the current ecological conditions require increased interest not only towards the environment as such but also towards deep historical research of the relationship between man and nature, require further studies and preservation efforts for natural, historical, and cultural heritage. Goals. The paper analyzes archaeological sites and places of worship for the possibility of correlating their locations with real geoactive zones through the example of the Barguzin Valley, and seeks to identify features of the territory, comparing it to separate Mongolia-based places of worship. Materials and Methods. The work attempts to apply an interdisciplinary approach in characterizing the origin of sites of worship from the standpoint of different disciplines, such as geology, geography, history, archeology, ethnology, and folkloristics. Results. The interdisciplinary approach to the research of places of worship makes it possible to once again highlight challenges faced by scholars engaged therein more broadly, and involve materials that have not been previously examined in this perspective. Nowadays, this constitutes a most urgent problem in contexts of aggravated man-nature relations, violations of harmonious ties, and increased anthropogenic impacts in certain areas for extensive use of natural resources contrary to opinions of the local population.

Abstract:
The development of linguistic research in the conditions of globalization acquires a new understanding, since it correlates with culturology, ethnology, and explicates the linguistic and cultural heritage. Modern linguistic intelligence is extrapolated to the problems of intercultural communication, linguistic aesthetics, and the study of national and cultural realities. The consideration of languages, in particular Germanic, in intercultural interaction appears to be actualized, because the knowledge of national values and communication peculiarities of Germanic native speakers contributes to the comprehension of the specific cognition nature of their cultural environment.

As the by-product of the one-child policy, the shidu have become a growing segment of the population. Their inherent characteristics, as well as their social relationships and means of interacting with the external environment, are issues that deserve our attention. Through compiling a virtual ethnology of the social media platform “Home of the Shidu”, as well as describing interactive processes such as the shidu individuals’ integration into and commiseration with the group, the collaborative defense of their rights, fragmentation within the community, and renewed legal defense efforts, the author analyzes the characteristics and mechanisms of the shidu and attempts to better understand the realities of their existence and demands.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper takes a critical look at the work of the extraordinarily popular historian Lev Gumilev. Writing in late Soviet times, Gumilev has become virtually a cult figure in Russia after his death. He took up the ideas of the Eurasianists of the early twentieth century, according to whom Russia's destiny is to be a Eurasian power, and he reconfigured them as a ‘scientific’ theory of ethnos. The ethnos is supposed to be a ‘biological’ entity determined by its place in the natural environment, but at the same time, inspired by a few innovative leaders, each ‘ethnos’ has its special time of intense flowering (which Gumilev called ‘passionary’). The article examines the contradictions in Gumilev's theories and its methodological flaws. It endswith a discussion of the political implications ofGumilev's popularity in post-Socialist Russia. He is not only admired by semi-educated people but is also legitimised by sections of the academy (a university is named after him in Kazakhstan). It is argued that his work lends a spurious credence to nationalismand anti-semitism.

Abstract:
Nils Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld (1832–1901), a Finnish Swedish scientist and explorer, made three expeditions to the North Asian coast between 1875 and 1879. He completed ten expeditions to the Arctic region between 1858 and 1883. The unifying goal of the North Asian expeditions was to open a trade route between Europe and Siberia. As a scientist, Nordenskiöld also studied the flora, fauna, geology, geography, hydrology, meteorology, ethnology, and history, and produced charts of this unfamiliar territory. This article argues that Nordenskiöld used his skills of environmental literacy when he combined the commercial and scientific goals of his expeditions. He also had the ability to deal with the environment in practical and rational terms, which I argue is also one expression of environmental literacy.

Abstract:
According to Romanian folk beliefs, the soil suffers when man ploughs it. After the first humans had traced furrows, the soil shed blood and started to shout. To ease its pain, it is recommended to refrain from working at noon and at night, because the earth needs rest, like humans. This folkloric motif has known several interpretations in the Romanian ethnology. Specialists considered it, successively, as an expression of animism, a poetic image, a proof of deep respect for nature, an illustration of the sacred violence committed by the ploughman, etc. The motif of the pain of the soil has a special value nowadays when we confront a serious ecological crisis. Traditional wisdom, thus, offers us an impulse to reflect and reconsider our behaviour towards the environment.

Full text
Abstract:
Drawing on ethnographic research undertaken at sea in north-west Scotland, this thesis builds a labour and class analysis of human-environment and human-machine relations. Fishing 'grounds' are constituted through metabolisms of labour as fishermen develop the affordances of their environments to make them productive. Places are constituted as fishermen transform them through their labour, judge them as significant through their productivity, and name them through the social process of collectively developing their affordances. Fishermen have developed complex techniques for extending their bodily senses far beneath the sea and working there. Tension is manipulated in these extended working practices, and control over these processes must be maintained in order for them to be carried out safely. However, social relations can affect the exercise of control and the practice of maintenance to shape tools and machines around one's body and according to one's intentions. Techniques for moving through the land and seascape include tools and electronic devices such as the GPS, and market and class relations affect what tools are developed and how skippers and crew relate to them. Market pressures are incorporated into the daily lives and subjectivities of commercial fishermen, and can determine the species that are targeted and what techniques are used. They have also affected the relation between fishing boat owners, skippers, and crew as a transition from shared ownership and shared payment to casual labour and low-waged migrant labour has taken place. Class relations affect fishing techniques, subjectivities, their exposure to violence and danger in their work, their control over their own practices and skills, the balance between their work and the rest of their lives, the cosmopolitainisation of their workplaces, and their ability to develop affordances according to their own interests. Work under capitalism is regularly experienced both as an alienating and as a relational, and people develop multiple subjectivities which they draw on as they decide how to act. An 'ideology of nature' has developed with capitalist class relations and division of labour which contributes to mainstream conceptions of the sea as a wilderness where human labour is only destructive.

Abstract:
In this qualitative ethnological study I explore the local development work undertaken by the municipal Botkyrka, located south of Stockholm. The material is primarily based on the municipals development programs and interviews with officials from the municipal working with local development. Their work is primarily based on achieving sustainable development in various problem areas such as education, unemployment, urban environment, climate change. My aim was to investigate how a municipality, with a declared focus on the benefits of diversity, that at the same time struggles with unequality (in regard to ethnic segregation and disparities in income, education, employment, housing and health), through its local development work presented its different districts. Guided by discourse analysis and postcolonial theory I focused on how the citizens in the districts where portrayed and how the physical and natural environment in these where described. The result shows that the municipal through its local development work is differentiating the districts and their citizens by adopting neoliberal labour market and housing policies, reproducing urban planning ideals and ideas regarding national beloning.

POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING

När man tänker på Botkyrka kommun, söder om Stockholm, är det nog främst till norra Botkyrka associationerna går. Miljonprogramsområdena och röda linjens tunnelbanestationer Alby, Fittja, Norsborg och Hallunda. Eller kanske har man hört sloganen ”Långt ifrån lagom” och vet att kommunen är en av Sveriges mest blandade vad gäller befolkningens ursprung. Men Botkyrka består också av en södra halva och här ligger områdena Tumba, Tullinge, Vårsta och Grödinge. Inte lika kända och inte heller på samma självklara sätt kopplade till Botkyrka som de ovan nämnda områdena i norr.

I min studie har jag undersökt hur Botkyrka kommun arbetar med områdesbaserad utveckling i sina kommundelar. Utgångspunkten för min analys är själva basen i detta arbete: kommundelarnas långsiktiga utvecklingsprogram. När jag samlade materialet till denna studie fanns tre sådana program framtagna, ett för Alby, ett för Tullinge och ett för Fittja. I dessa program formuleras de viktigaste nyckelområden som varje kommundel behöver arbeta kring för att uppnå en hållbar och långsiktig utveckling. Det intressanta med dessa program och det arbete som dessa föranleder är det skillnadsskapande som görs mellan norra och södra Botkyrka. I Fittja och Alby kretsar arbetet kring medborgarnas utbildning och sysselsättning samt områdenas stadsmiljöer. I Tullinge är målen: att utveckla och säkra områdets kvaliteter, att utveckla dialogen med medborgarna och att möjliggöra att leva klimatsmart.

Genom att titta på hur områdena och de människor som befolkar dem beskrivs i utvecklingsprogrammen och hur de kommunala tjänstemän som arbetar med detta förhåller sig till dessa frågor har jag utifrån en diskursanalytisk och postkolonial ansats kommit fram till att det områdesbaserad utvecklingsarbetet i Botkyrka kommun är del i en politisk och samhällelig åskådning som särskiljer platser och människor. Det områdesbaserade utvecklingsarbetet medverkar därmed till att reproducera bilden av den problematiska invandrarförorten och det idylliska villasamhället. Framställningarna som görs i mitt material visar hur kommunen positionerar sina kommundelar i relation till varandra. Tullinge utgör det oproblematiska, normativa och osynliga medan Alby och Fittja representeras av problembilder, det annorlunda och hjälpbehövande. Kommunen marknadsför sig som en progressiv aktör som arbetar för mångfald och mänskliga rättigheter, emot rasism och diskriminering samtidigt som man genom det områdesbaserad arbetet är delaktig i stigmatiseringen av platserna och människorna i norra Botkyrka.

Abstract:
La nidification urbaine des goélands est un phénomène récent et potentiellement conflictuel. A Marseille, la focalisation sur la gestion des déchets urbains pour expliquer ce phénomène élude la question du potentiel rôle actif des goélands. Les approches disciplinaires ayant des difficultés à rendre compte de la complexité des relations entre hommes et animaux, cette recherche adopte une approche interdisciplinaire et symétrisante impliquant à la fois observation des goélands, recueil des discours et pratiques des acteurs humains, et analyse de leurs relations dans la diachronie via l'étude d'archives. L'ensemble de nos résultats montre que la nidification urbaine des goélands s'inscrit dans un long processus qui n'est pas uniquement lié à la gestion des déchets urbains. Les propriétés interactives du goéland y tiennent un rôle non négligeable. Il s'affirme ainsi comme un acteur de la relation, capable d'ajuster ses comportements à ceux des humains et de défendre ses intérêts. Les comportements du goéland, à la fois oiseau sauvage qui interagit avec l'humain et voisin envahissant, sont de plus considérés par de nombreux habitants comme surprenants et intéressants, mais aussi ambigus, voire inciviques. L'analyse de cette forme nouvelle de cohabitation entre hommes et goélands montre la nécessité de donner une nouvelle place analytique à l'animal. Elle encourage l'étude des liens entre hommes et animaux dans leur contexte social, écologique et historique pour en saisir le caractère interactif et dynamique. Enfin, elle donne à penser la protection de la nature non plus seulement en termes de biens mais aussi et surtout en termes de liens.

Full text
Abstract:
En Suède boréale, les techniques de régénération forestière utilisées par la foresterie moderne, notamment les préparations de sols précédant la plantation, endommagent les pâtures de lichen terricoles (Cladina spp.), et sont devenues une source de conflit entre forestiers et éleveurs de rennes Sami. L'objet de cette thèse est d'étudier des stratégies de régénération forestière pouvant réduire les perturbations et promouvoir le ré-établissement du lichen des rennes. Les savoirs et les pratiques des éleveurs Sami sur la ressource en lichen sont également analysés. Les effets de préparations de sol moins perturbatrices sur le ré-établissement du tapis de lichen, le pâturage des rennes et l'établissement de plants de Pinus sylvestris furent étudiés. L'utilisation de l'HuMinMix, technique mélangeant le couvert de lichen avec la couche d'humus et le sol minéral, est favorable à la régénération du tapis de lichen par comparaison aux préparations de sols conventionnelles. Cependant, l'établissement des jeunes pins est supérieur suivant une préparation exposant seulement le sol minéral. L'occurrence de dégâts mécaniques, possiblement causés par le piétinement des rennes, est un argument pour éviter la plantation dans les parcelles fortement fréquentées par les rennes, au profit de la régénération naturelle ou de l'ensemencement afin d'éviter les conflits avec les propriétaires forestiers. La régénération complète du tapis de lichen suivant la préparation de sol HuMinMix est estimée à une dizaine d'année comparé à plus de cinquante ans suivant les techniques conventionnelles. Les possibilités de dispersion artificielle du lichen, par exemple dans des parcelles fortement endommagées par les préparations de sol, sont également étudiées. La nature du substrat s'avère être un facteur clé pour l'établissement du lichen dispersé. Le sol minéral se révèle être un substrat ne permettant pas l'immobilisation des fragments de lichen, alors que les substrats organiques sont favorables à l'établissement et à la croissance du lichen. Au cours du suivi de 17 parcelles en régénération, toutes les espèces du genre Cladina furent observées colonisant naturellement les sols scarifiés. Néanmois la présence d'espèces de lichen pionnières semble favoriser l'établissement des lichens du genre Cladina. Toutes les méthodes de dispersion testées résultèrent en un établissement effectif du lichen. Néanmoins l'établissement suivant la transplantation de thalles lichéniques entiers, non-fragmentés, fût sévèrement réduit par le pâturage des rennes, alors que l'établissement à partir de thalles fragmentés le fût beaucoup moins. Une étude ethnolinguistique permit également de démontrer que, contrairement à son usage dans la culture occidentale où le mot ‘pâture' est associé à une communauté végétale spécifique, l'usage par les éleveurs Sami du même mot (guohtun en Sami) inclut l'effet de la neige sur les pâtures de lichen et leur pâturage par les rennes. Les éleveurs de rennes Samis utilisent leurs savoirs sur l'influence de la végétation forestière sur les conditions de neige, et donc les conditions de pâturage, pour élaborer des stratégies de pâturage au cours de l'hiver. C'est pourquoi il est nécessaire d'intégrer le savoir des éleveurs Sami sur les pâturages hivernaux en tenant compte des conséquences de la régénération forestière sur le développement et la structure du peuplement, afin d'améliorer la compréhension des effets de la production forestière sur le pâturage hivernal des rennes, et pour développer des stratégies qui satisfassent les gestionnaires forestiers et les éleveurs de rennes.

Abstract:
Confronté aux difficultés des différentes disciplines à dégager les propriétés interactives des relations hommes-loups, j'ai interrogé les Kirghiz sur leurs relations, dans la synchronie et la diachronie. J'ai adopté une démarche ethno-éthologique intégrant le comportement de l'animal et la manière dont il est perçu afin de déterminer ses influences sur les savoirs et les pratiques humaines.
Intelligent et doué d'intentionnalité, le loup se voit attribuer par les Kirghiz une intériorité similaire à la leur et apparaît comme un alter ego. Pratiques d'élevage et de chasse viennent confirmer cette conception et participent à son émergence. Il apparaît ainsi que les Kirghiz se trouvent engagés dans une interrelation faite d'interactions réciproques. L'impact de la chute de l'URSS sur les pratiques humaines puis sur les comportements des loups montre le caractère dynamique des interrelations et conduit à considérer la relation des Kirghiz avec les loups comme une co-évolution.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an ethnography of how places like mountain pastures (jailoos), hydro-electric dams and holy sites (mazars) matter in striving for a good life. Based on eighteen months of fieldwork in the Toktogul valley of Kyrgyzstan, this study contributes to theoretical questions in the anthropology of post-socialism, time, space, work and enjoyment. I use the term ‘moral geography’ to emphasize a spatial imaginary that is centred on ideas of ‘the good life’, both ethical and happy. This perspective captures an understanding of jailoos which connects food, health, wealth and beauty. In comparing attitudes towards a Soviet and post-Soviet dam, I reveal changes in the nature of the state, property and collective labour. People in Toktogul hold agentive places like mazars and non-personalized places like dams and jailoos apart, implying not one overarching philosophy of nature, but a world in which types of places have different gradations of object-ness and personhood. I show how people use forms of commemoration as a means of establishing connections between people, claims on land and aspirations of ‘becoming cultured’. I demonstrate how people draw on repertoires of epic or Soviet heroism and mobility in conceiving their life story and agency in shaping events. Different times and places such as ‘eternal’ jailoos and Soviet dams are often collapsed as people derive personal authority from connections to them. Analysing accounts of collectivization and privatization I argue that the Soviet period is often treated as a ‘second tradition’ used to judge the present. People also strive for ‘the good life’ through working practices that are closely linked to the Soviet experience, and yet differ from Marxist definitions of labour. The pervasively high value of work is fed from different, formally conflicting sources of moral authority such as Socialism, Islam and neo-liberal ideals of ‘entrepreneurship’. I discuss how parties, poetry and song bring together jakshylyk (goodness) as enjoyment and virtue. I show how song and poetry act as moral guides, how arman yearning is purposely enjoyed in Kyrgyz music and how it relates to nostalgia and nature imagery. The concept of ‘moral geography’ allows me to investigate how people strive for well-being, an investigation that is just as important as focusing on problem-solving and avoiding pain. It also allows an analysis of place and time that holds material interactions, moral ideals, economic and political dimensions in mind.

Abstract:
This chapter presents the implementation of games in teaching social studies in primary schools. In Slovenia, social studies lessons combine educational goals from the fields of geography, sociology, history, ethnology, psychology, economy, politics, ethics, and ecology with the national curriculum based on the constructivist approach. Game-based learning enables an optimal learning environment for students. This chapter researches games in social studies. Results show teachers rarely use didactic games in social studies and that games are most commonly used at the beginning of lessons to achieve greater motivation and concentration of students and for more diversified classes. Most respondents' students like game-based learning in social studies and also estimate that games are not played often enough.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter synthesizes Inca and Andean chronicles, Peruvian ethnohistory, and archaeology to survey the varied cultures of healing, mummification, and ancestor veneration specific to the Andes and its Inca Empire prior to Spain’s invasion in 1532. Drawing from the Huarochirí manuscript and the study of a trepanned Yauyo skull today in Harvard’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, it explains how Andean cultures used healing, ancestor-making, and environment to extend communities’ health and navigate relationships with others, like the Incas’ empire of Tawantinsuyu. It details how Tawantinsuyu expanded over the Andes, and how Sapa Inkas (emperors) like Pachacutic intervened on the mummification and mortuary practices of the Incas and their subjects. They made the royal Inca dead into flashing and lithic mummies, yllapas. They collected the sacred ancestors (mallkis) and huacas of their subjects. And they ritually killed subjects to make capacocha offerings to the cosmos.

In Ethnology Symposium "Ethnic traditions and processes", Edition II. Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.52603/9789975333788.16.

Abstract:
The article presents some research approaches to the fairy-tale folklore of Bulgarians from the Republic of Moldova. According to the author, the fairy-tales texts of Bulgarians from the Republic of Moldova, their semantic, symbolic, and structural features should be researched as a local (regional) variant of Bulgarian folklore. Identification of ethnocultural markers in the fairy-tales of local Bulgarians on some different levels (such as on the subject, ethno-social and spiritual (church-religious) level) will allow to identify some peculiarities in the adaptation process of Bulgarians that migrated to a new ethnocultural zone, as well as to identify the level of preservation of basic ethnic mentality under the conditions of new “mental environment”. Thus, the study of regional ethnic culture is an interdisciplinary research, which allows discovering how localization in time and space affects ethnic culture, in general, and oral folk art, in particular.

Abstract:
In this article, the author examines the reflection of the Christmas traditions of the Russians of the Republic of Moldova in print and electronic media. Mass media analysis suggests that Russian winter rituals have undergone a significant transformation in the urban environment in recent decades. The main images of the holiday were identified and described, as well as the features of their holding in modern urban conditions. The main attention of the mass media was focused on theatrical performances related to the theme of Christmas. Russian ethno-cultural centers held Christmas events, where carols were performed, a Christmas story contest was organized, and thematic conversations about the birth of Jesus Christ were held. Special emphasis in the media was placed on the organization and holding of the Russian Christmas Ball in Chisinau. This event is also a reconstruction of balls that took place in the XIX century. Information technologies have contributed to the emergence of new forms of information presentation. One of these forms was the holding of master classes on making Christmas wreaths to decorate the festive table on video hosting sites.

Abstract:
The article is based on materials from a study carried out by employees of the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2017–2019. The study was conducted among young people living in two small towns in Central Russia – Belev, Tula region and Staritsa, Tver region. The issues of local-territorial identity of young residents of the Russian province, their attitude to their native city and the local environment are analyzed. An analysis of the sociological survey data made it possible to conclude that at present, territorial identity and love for their city were characteristic of a considerable part of the provincial youth, but these indicators varied markedly. The prevalence of young people’s orientations towards their city decreased in more developed, urbanized, open cities, with a rolling stock of the local population, wider contacts with the ”outside world”, a higher level of education, etc. In less urbanized cities, local-territorial identity and love for their city were more frequent. At the same time, local residents experienced less satisfaction with living conditions and showed more pronounced migration activity.

Abstract:
Throughout most mankind’s history our daily life artifacts have been designed, produced, and used with respect for social and environmental constrains and within the carrying capacity of ecosystems. Also, they have been created to fulfill tangible and specific needs (not desires) of individuals and communities to their daily tasks and have sustained a thorough process of evolution and adaptation to the cultural and environmental context and, so, have been perfected over time. It has been only with the technological and cultural changes implemented with the industrial revolution that several unbalances have been created in the relation between our material culture and the natural world. It stands to reason that there are lessons to be learned from those previous times, from their habits and, with a design perspective, from their products. This paper presents an analysis of vernacular objects identifying design features related to morphology, functionality, production, material, and use. This text presents as case study a set of vernacular objects from the rural life collection of the Portuguese National Museum of Ethnology. The analysis was made with support of literature, drawing and photography, and adapting some examples from previous studies of vernacular heritage and architecture. These products serve as example of the incorporation of circular product design strategies.

Atkinson, Dan, and Alex Hale, eds. From Source to Sea: ScARF Marine and Maritime Panel Report. Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, September 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.9750/scarf.09.2012.126.

Full text
Abstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under four headings: 1. From Source to Sea: River systems, from their source to the sea and beyond, should form the focus for research projects, allowing the integration of all archaeological work carried out along their course. Future research should take a holistic view of the marine and maritime historic environment, from inland lakes that feed freshwater river routes, to tidal estuaries and out to the open sea. This view of the landscape/seascape encompasses a very broad range of archaeology and enables connections to be made without the restrictions of geographical or political boundaries. Research strategies, programmes From Source to Sea: ScARF Marine and Maritime Panel Report iii and projects can adopt this approach at multiple levels; from national to site-specific, with the aim of remaining holistic and cross-cutting. 2. Submerged Landscapes: The rising research profile of submerged landscapes has recently been embodied into a European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action; Submerged Prehistoric Archaeology and Landscapes of the Continental Shelf (SPLASHCOS), with exciting proposals for future research. Future work needs to be integrated with wider initiatives such as this on an international scale. Recent projects have begun to demonstrate the research potential for submerged landscapes in and beyond Scotland, as well as the need to collaborate with industrial partners, in order that commercially-created datasets can be accessed and used. More data is required in order to fully model the changing coastline around Scotland and develop predictive models of site survival. Such work is crucial to understanding life in early prehistoric Scotland, and how the earliest communities responded to a changing environment. 3. Marine & Maritime Historic Landscapes: Scotland’s coastal and intertidal zones and maritime hinterland encompass in-shore islands, trans-continental shipping lanes, ports and harbours, and transport infrastructure to intertidal fish-traps, and define understanding and conceptualisation of the liminal zone between the land and the sea. Due to the pervasive nature of the Marine and Maritime historic landscape, a holistic approach should be taken that incorporates evidence from a variety of sources including commercial and research archaeology, local and national societies, off-shore and onshore commercial development; and including studies derived from, but not limited to history, ethnology, cultural studies, folklore and architecture and involving a wide range of recording techniques ranging from photography, laser imaging, and sonar survey through to more orthodox drawn survey and excavation. 4. Collaboration: As is implicit in all the above, multi-disciplinary, collaborative, and cross-sector approaches are essential in order to ensure the capacity to meet the research challenges of the marine and maritime historic environment. There is a need for collaboration across the heritage sector and beyond, into specific areas of industry, science and the arts. Methods of communication amongst the constituent research individuals, institutions and networks should be developed, and dissemination of research results promoted. The formation of research communities, especially virtual centres of excellence, should be encouraged in order to build capacity.
