There are many restrictions placed on researchers studying Paleolithic Cave art due to the constraints of conservation that
limit direct contact with the original works. This paper discusses how recent advances in technology have revolutionized the
study and interpretation of Paleolithic cave art. The interpretation of Paleolithic symbolic systems is a complex process
and hypotheses must be applied to cave art with the greatest of precision. A detailed analysis of the painted or engraved
surfaces leads to a greater understanding of both the techniques employed and the actual sequence in which parietal compositions
were executed. By unlocking the creative process followed by Upper Paleolithic artists we are able to glimpse the artist’s
motivations and to understand a portion of the art’s hidden meaning.

In this paper I argue that the practice of archaeology over-emphasizes and over-rewards unambiguous certainty in our interpretations,
even though our conclusions are usually drawn from necessarily partial, underdetermined and complex evidence. I argue that
full or partial erasure of ambiguity from our data and from our interpretive assertions does not serve the long-term interests
of the discipline; that a feminist practice aimed at more nuanced understandings of the past and open to more subtle, multivalenced
notions of reality, must accept ambiguity as a central feature of archaeological interpretation. After I review familiar strategies
that are used to obscure troubling areas of uncertainty in archaeology, I urge feminist practice to resist employing these
“mechanisms of closure” in our work. It is only by openly recognizing and preserving the ambiguity that resides in messy data
arrangements today that we stand any hope of fuller and richer understandings in the future.

In Tigray, Ethiopia highland farmers and noblemen used a common vernacular architecture to build places of political authority
and power during the last century of Ethiopia's feudal economy. This study contributes to the perspective that domestic houses
are active political locales integrated into the larger political landscape. In addition, it is argued that vernacular architectural
style generates hierarchical power in part by manipulating building strategies usually attributed to monumental construction.
The study concludes that vernacular architecture is actively engaged in rendering a political aesthetic that reproduces state
authority in rural hinterlands. 相似文献

Over the last decade several dozen direct dates on cave art pigments or associated materials have supplemented more traditional
style-based attempts to establish a chronological (and developmental) scheme for cave art. In the “post-stylistic” era an
holistic integration of pigment “recipe” analysis, formal stylistic analysis and direct chronometric dating have been applied
to a handful of dates. Here, we examine the state-of-the-art of Palaeolithic cave art dating, with particular emphasis on
certain radiocarbon and Uranium-series projects. We examine the relative successes and weaknesses of this cutting edge science.
We conclude that there are several weaknesses in current applications that are in serious need of addressing. Issues of sample
contamination and of the heuristic relationship between materials dated and the production of the art are particularly problematic.
It follows that one should at present be very cautious about straightforward interpretations of apparent “dates” of cave art. 相似文献

This paper examines the tension between the Spanish evangelical ideal of religious conversion (erasure and replacement of
“idolatrous” praxis) and the exigencies of its enactment (inter-cultural communication via analogy) among a series of sixteenth
century Franciscan doctrinal settlements (doctrinas) in the Colca valley of southern Peru. I suggest that the necessity and
outcomes of inter-cultural communication during initial evangelization made conversion impossible, despite increasing institutionalization
of coercive doctrinal measures through time. Combined archaeological and historical analysis explores how these tensions were
locally negotiated. Written texts describe early extirpation campaigns, while archaeological evidence documents the remains
of early doctrinas in the form of rustic chapels at local settlements which were previously centers of Inka power. Associations
between these chapels and Inka ritual spaces hint at an analogical approach to conversion that is not as evident in the documentary
record. Analogies linking Inka and Christian religious symbols were later “re-written” onto the surfaces and spaces of Spanish-style
reducción villages established in the 1570 s. 相似文献

Drawing on examples from Achill Island, County Mayo and from the north Antrim uplands, notions of marginality, isolation,
and cultural stagnation associated with upland landscapes are explored in light of contradictory material and documentary
data, raising questions about the materiality of marginality and challenging static, nationalist presentations of rural Irish
life in the post-medieval period. Discussion of the Irish evidence is contextualized with reference to the twentieth-century
construction of marginality in southern Appalachia. 相似文献

Historical archaeology is today widely practiced in Latin America. Scholars not living or working in the region often are
unaware of the research conducted in the countries south of the United States. This brief report outlines some of the historical
archaeology conducted in Latin America and provides a brief bibliography. 相似文献

This paper explores the themes and tensions of class and propriety at one of New Zealand’s early European settlements, a Church
Missionary Society mission in the Bay of Islands. Archaeological investigations at the site of the Te Puna mission house revealed
a cellar containing, among other articles, items connected with domesticity and feminine concerns, demonstrating the presence
of women and their daily activities. The interweaving of the archaeological and historical record sheds light upon the replication
of class and culture through themes such as the “cult of domesticity” at this remote location, a decade prior to British colonization. 相似文献
