Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seafaring is a mode of travel, a way to traverse maritime space that enables not only the transport of goods and materials but also of people and ideas - communicating and sharing knowledge across the sea and between different lands…. Seagoing ships under sail were operating between the Levant, Egypt, Cyprus and Anatolia by the mid-third millennium BC and within the Aegean by the end of that millennium. By the Late Bronze Age (after ca. 1700/1600 BC), seaborne trade in the eastern Mediterranean made the region an economic epicentre, one in which there was no place for Aegean, Canaanite or Egyptian trading monopolies, or 'thalassocracies'. At that time, the world of eastern Mediterranean seafaring and seafarers became much more complex, involving a number of different peoples in multiple networks of economic and social exchange. This much is known, or in many cases widely presumed. Is it possible to trace the origins and emergence of these early trade networks Can we discuss at any reasonable level who was involved in these maritime ventures Who built the early ships in which maritime trade was conducted, and who captained them Who sailed them Which ports and harbours were the most propitious for maritime trade What other evidence exists for seafaring, fishing, the exploitation of marine resources and related maritime matters This study seeks to address such questions by examining a wide range of material, documentary and iconographic evidence, and re-examining a multiplicity of varying interpretations on Bronze Age seafaring and seafarers in the eastern Mediterranean, from Anatolia in the north to Egypt in the south and west to Cyprus. The Aegean world operated on the western boundaries of this region, but is referred to more in passing than in engagement. Because the social aspects of seafaring and transport, the relationship different peoples had with the sea, and the whole notion of 'seascapes' are seldom discussed in the literature of the eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age, this volume devotes significant attention to such factors, including: mobility, connectivity, the length and purpose as well as the risk of the journey, the knowledge and experience of navigation and travel, 'working' the sea, the impact of distance and access to the exotic upon peoples' identities and ideologies, and much more.Contents:Preface and AcknowledgementsList of Figures1.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A mosaic is the only image which can do justice to museums in the Caribbean. They are as diverse and plentiful as the many communities which form the cores of their organizations and the hearts of their missions. These profoundly so…cial museums adopt participatory practices and embark on community engagement processes in order to embed themselves firmly in contemporary Caribbean societies. This dissertation presents a mosaic of 195 Caribbean museums and the results of a unique research project based on a mixed methods approach. It begins with a macro view of Caribbean museums and their participatory practices. This part of the study consisted of a regional museum survey in which the museum visit was approached as an event, leading to the creation of an extensive database of Caribbean museums and their participatory practices. The dissertation continues by zooming in to a micro level to explore the dynamics of community engagement processes in two case studies. The Kalinago Barana Autê in Dominica shows the ongoing process of an indigenous grassroots initiative that became a governmentally owned but locally managed museum. The Bengal to Barbados exhibition in Barbados reveals the complex dynamics of the beginnings of a co-curation project between a heterogeneous migrant community and a national museum. By giving voice to grassroots museums, this dissertation shifts the museological discussion away from the usual suspects to consider topics such as the ephemeral museum. By combining a regional museum survey with case studies, it provides both overarching and close-up views of this mosaic. From ecomuseums and object donations, to multi-vocality and participatory styles, and the need for negotiation and representativity, the study reveals a multitude of facets of the social museum in the Caribbean. This book is a unique resource for museologists around the world, especially those interested in community engagement. It is particularly valuable for those working in, with, or on museums in the Caribbean. Contents1. Introduction2. Theoretical Framework3. Methodological Framework4.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As reflected in the title 'From Microcosm to Macrocosm: Individual households and cities in Ancient Egypt and Nubia', both a micro-approach introducing microhistories of individual sites according to recent archaeological fieldwork…incorporating interdisciplinary methods as well as general patterns and regional developments in Northeast Africa are discussed.This combination of research questions on the micro-level with the macro-level provides new information about cities and households in Ancient Egypt and Nubia and makes the book unique. Architectural studies as well as analyses of material culture and the new application of microarchaeology, here especially of micromorphology and archaeometric applications, are presented as case studies from sites primarily dating to the New Kingdom (Second Millennium BC). The rich potential of well-preserved but still not completely explored sites in modern Sudan, especially as direct comparison for already excavated sites located in Egypt, is in particular emphasised in the book.Settlement archaeology in Egypt and Nubia has recently moved away from a strong textual approach and generalised studies to a more site-specific approach and household studies. This new bottom-up approach applied by current fieldwork projects is demonstrated in the book. The volume is intended for all specialists at settlements sites in Northeast Africa, for students of Egyptology and Nubian Studies, but it will be of interest to anyone working in the field of settlement archaeology. It is the result of a conference on the same subject held in 2017 as the closing event of the European Research Council funded project AcrossBorders at Munich.ContentsIntroductionJulia Budka and Johannes AuenmüllerIndividual Households and Cities in Ancient Egypt and Nubia: A short summary of the state-of-the-artJulia BudkaThe Development of Two Early Urban Centres in Upper Egypt During the 3rd Millennium BC: The examples of Edfu and DendaraNadine Moeller and Gregory MarouardAncient Gold Mining Settlements in the Eastern Deserts of Egypt and NubiaDietrich Klemm and Rosemarie KlemmKerma and Dokki Gel: Evidences of impressive changes in the urban architecture at the beginning of the New Kingdom in NubiaCharles BonnetThe Many Ethnicities in Avaris: Evidence from the northern borderland of EgyptManfred BietakEgyptians and Nubians in the Early New Kingdom and the Kushite BackgroundBruce WilliamsAcrossBorders: Five seasons of work in the Pharaonic town, Sai IslandJulia BudkaImage Based Modelling and Kite Aerial Photography on Sai IslandMartin Fera and Cajetan GeigerThe Fortifications of the Pharaonic Town on Sai Island: A reinvestigationIngrid AdenstedtPots & People: Ceramics from Sai Island and ElephantineJulia BudkaFrom Macro Wares to Micro Fabrics and INAA Compositional Groups: The pottery corpus of the New Kingdom town on Sai Island (Northern Sudan)Giulia D'Ercole and Johannes SterbaTomb 26 in Cemetery SAC5 on Sai IslandJulia BudkaLife History of Khnummose and Selected Anthropological Finds from Tomb 26Marlies Wohlschlager and Andrea StadlmayrThe Fortified Settlement at Tombos and Egyptian Colonial Strategy in New Kingdom NubiaStuart Tyson Smith and Michele BuzonUrbanism in Nubia and the New Kingdom Temple Towns Jördis ViethNew Kingdom towns in Upper Nubia: Sai, Soleb and Amara West in prosopographical perspectiveJohannes Auenmüller 262 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In the Caribbean region, landscape change is part of the region¿s history. The Caribbean exemplifies man-made changes to landscape, beginning with Amerindians, continuing to the importation of exotic species through the colony area, ext…reme land degradation caused by sugar plantation, forced settlement of millions of enslaved Africans, diverse populations of indentured laborers, and continued mixing of cultures from globalized interactions today, such as tourism. This has led to not only intense environmental degradation and introduction of new species, but the fostering of diverse cultures and communities ¿ creating today¿s melting pot of environment and community.Today, the small islands of the Caribbean are often described as vulnerable: with limited resources, growing populations and a dependence on unsustainable economic markets. This perspective often overlooks the adaptability or resilience of these island communities.However, with climate change and intensifying economic connection, landscape change will only increase, bringing not only changes to the ecology but to the customary practices and traditions that play an integral part in the rural community. How do we address these landscape modifications to build more sustainable and equitable land management techniques This research investigates the changing landscape and land use in two case studies of the coastal villages of St. Kitts and the Kalinago Territory of Dominica. By integrating human and ecological aspects of agrarian landscapes, this research analyzes how land degradation or land change impacts cultural ecosystem services, that ultimately disrupts community wellbeing. First, as a primary goal, the research focus is established together with local communities or stakeholders, identifying both direct and indirect causes of landscape change. Second, by using a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods, but grounded in local participation, the research indicates that landscape change never happens in a vacuum but rather, it is always a part of a larger socio-political context and historical background that must be considered. In both case studies, there remains emphasis on the tangible, as results not only lead to new directions in landscape research but also deliverables used by community stakeholders for continued land sustainability. By investigating the synergies of nature and community within landscape change, this research proposes that local communities assert their own agency. This moves away from how local communities fit into global phenomena of land change, to how communities can assert their diversity within a global process.Contents1. Introduction2.

The Caribbean exemplifies man-made changes to landscape, beginning with Amerindians, continuing to the importation of exotic species through the colony area, extrem…e land degradation caused by sugar plantation, forced settlement of millions of enslaved Africans, diverse populations of indentured laborers, and continued mixing of cultures from globalized interactions today, such as tourism. This has led to not only intense environmental degradation and introduction of new species, but the fostering of diverse cultures and communities - creating today's melting pot of environment and community.Today, the small islands of the Caribbean are often described as vulnerable: with limited resources, growing populations and a dependence on unsustainable economic markets. This perspective often overlooks the adaptability or resilience of these island communities.However, with climate change and intensifying economic connection, landscape change will only increase, bringing not only changes to the ecology but to the customary practices and traditions that play an integral part in the rural community. How do we address these landscape modifications to build more sustainable and equitable land management techniques This research investigates the changing landscape and land use in two case studies of the coastal villages of St. Kitts and the Kalinago Territory of Dominica. By integrating human and ecological aspects of agrarian landscapes, this research analyzes how land degradation or land change impacts cultural ecosystem services, that ultimately disrupts community wellbeing. First, as a primary goal, the research focus is established together with local communities or stakeholders, identifying both direct and indirect causes of landscape change. Second, by using a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods, but grounded in local participation, the research indicates that landscape change never happens in a vacuum but rather, it is always a part of a larger socio-political context and historical background that must be considered. In both case studies, there remains emphasis on the tangible, as results not only lead to new directions in landscape research but also deliverables used by community stakeholders for continued land sustainability. By investigating the synergies of nature and community within landscape change, this research proposes that local communities assert their own agency. This moves away from how local communities fit into global phenomena of land change, to how communities can assert their diversity within a global process.Contents1. Introduction2.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Seafaring is a mode of travel, a way to traverse maritime space that enables not only the transport of goods and materials but also of people and ideas ¿ communicating and sharing knowledge across the sea and between different lands. Seagoing…ships under sail were operating between the Levant, Egypt, Cyprus and Anatolia by the mid-third millennium BC and within the Aegean by the end of that millennium. By the Late Bronze Age (after ca. 1700/1600 BC), seaborne trade in the eastern Mediterranean made the region an economic epicentre, one in which there was no place for Aegean, Canaanite or Egyptian trading monopolies, or ¿thalassocracies¿. At that time, the world of eastern Mediterranean seafaring and seafarers became much more complex, involving a number of different peoples in multiple networks of economic and social exchange.This much is known, or in many cases widely presumed. Is it possible to trace the origins and emergence of these early trade networks Can we discuss at any reasonable level who was involved in these maritime ventures Who built the early ships in which maritime trade was conducted, and who captained them Who sailed them Which ports and harbours were the most propitious for maritime trade What other evidence exists for seafaring, fishing, the exploitation of marine resources and related maritime matters This study seeks to address such questions by examining a wide range of material, documentary and iconographic evidence, and re-examining a multiplicity of varying interpretations on Bronze Age seafaring and seafarers in the eastern Mediterranean, from Anatolia in the north to Egypt in the south and west to Cyprus. The Aegean world operated on the western boundaries of this region, but is referred to more in passing than in engagement. Because the social aspects of seafaring and transport, the relationship different peoples had with the sea, and the whole notion of ¿seascapes¿ are seldom discussed in the literature of the eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age, this volume devotes significant attention to such factors, including: mobility, connectivity, the length and purpose as well as the risk of the journey, the knowledge and experience of navigation and travel, ¿working¿ the sea, the impact of distance and access to the exotic upon peoples¿ identities and ideologies, and much more.Contents:Preface and AcknowledgementsList of Figures1.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A mosaic is the only image which can do justice to museums in the Caribbean. They are as diverse and plentiful as the many communities which form the cores of their organizations and the hearts of their missions. These profoundly social mu…seums adopt participatory practices and embark on community engagement processes in order to embed themselves firmly in contemporary Caribbean societies.This dissertation presents a mosaic of 195 Caribbean museums and the results of a unique research project based on a mixed methods approach. It begins with a macro view of Caribbean museums and their participatory practices. This part of the study consisted of a regional museum survey in which the museum visit was approached as an event, leading to the creation of an extensive database of Caribbean museums and their participatory practices. The dissertation continues by zooming in to a micro level to explore the dynamics of community engagement processes in two case studies. The Kalinago Barana Autê in Dominica shows the ongoing process of an indigenous grassroots initiative that became a governmentally owned but locally managed museum. The Bengal to Barbados exhibition in Barbados reveals the complex dynamics of the beginnings of a co-curation project between a heterogeneous migrant community and a national museum.By giving voice to grassroots museums, this dissertation shifts the museological discussion away from the usual suspects to consider topics such as the ephemeral museum. By combining a regional museum survey with case studies, it provides both overarching and close-up views of this mosaic. From ecomuseums and object donations, to multi-vocality and participatory styles, and the need for negotiation and representativity, the study reveals a multitude of facets of the social museum in the Caribbean.This book is a unique resource for museologists around the world, especially those interested in community engagement. It is particularly valuable for those working in, with, or on museums in the Caribbean.Contents1. Introduction2. Theoretical Framework3. Methodological Framework4. Caribbean Participatory Practices5.

Architectural studies as well as analyses of material culture and the new application of microarchaeology, here especially of micromorphology and archaeometric applications, are presented as case studies from sites primarily dating to the New Kingdom (Second Millennium BC). The rich potential of well-preserved but still not completely explored sites in modern Sudan, especially as direct comparison for already excavated sites located in Egypt, is in particular emphasised in the book.Settlement archaeology in Egypt and Nubia has recently moved away from a strong textual approach and generalised studies to a more site-specific approach and household studies. This new bottom-up approach applied by current fieldwork projects is demonstrated in the book. The volume is intended for all specialists at settlements sites in Northeast Africa, for students of Egyptology and Nubian Studies, but it will be of interest to anyone working in the field of settlement archaeology. It is the result of a conference on the same subject held in 2017 as the closing event of the European Research Council funded project AcrossBorders at Munich.ContentsIntroductionJulia Budka and Johannes AuenmüllerIndividual Households and Cities in Ancient Egypt and Nubia: A short summary of the state-of-the-artJulia BudkaThe Development of Two Early Urban Centres in Upper Egypt During the 3rd Millennium BC: The examples of Edfu and DendaraNadine Moeller and Gregory MarouardAncient Gold Mining Settlements in the Eastern Deserts of Egypt and NubiaDietrich Klemm and Rosemarie KlemmKerma and Dokki Gel: Evidences of impressive changes in the urban architecture at the beginning of the New Kingdom in NubiaCharles BonnetThe Many Ethnicities in Avaris: Evidence from the northern borderland of EgyptManfred BietakEgyptians and Nubians in the Early New Kingdom and the Kushite BackgroundBruce WilliamsAcrossBorders: Five seasons of work in the Pharaonic town, Sai IslandJulia BudkaImage Based Modelling and Kite Aerial Photography on Sai IslandMartin Fera and Cajetan GeigerThe Fortifications of the Pharaonic Town on Sai Island: A reinvestigationIngrid AdenstedtPots & People: Ceramics from Sai Island and ElephantineJulia BudkaFrom Macro Wares to Micro Fabrics and INAA Compositional Groups: The pottery corpus of the New Kingdom town on Sai Island (Northern Sudan)Giulia D'Ercole and Johannes SterbaTomb 26 in Cemetery SAC5 on Sai IslandJulia BudkaLife History of Khnummose and Selected Anthropological Finds from Tomb 26Marlies Wohlschlager and Andrea StadlmayrThe Fortified Settlement at Tombos and Egyptian Colonial Strategy in New Kingdom NubiaStuart Tyson Smith and Michele BuzonUrbanism in Nubia and the New Kingdom Temple TownsJördis ViethNew Kingdom towns in Upper Nubia: Sai, Soleb and Amara West in prosopographical perspectiveJohannes Auenmüller 262 pp. Englisch.
