“Powered cultural landscapes” is my term for landscapes that express social power dynamics. Historical archaeologists have
not adopted or developed adequate definitions or theorizations of the terms “power” or “landscape.” Since these terms are
predominantly considered separately in the literature, this article first briefly defines power and develops a heterarchical
theory of power. Then cultural landscapes are defined and categories of human-landscape interactions are constructed. The
bulk of the article applies my heterarchical paradigm to analyze the social power dynamics in selected examples of historical
archaeological research concerned with each category of human-landscape interaction. 相似文献

Battlefield archaeology has provided a new way of appreciating historic battlefields. This paper provides a summary of the
long history of warfare and conflict in Scotland which has given rise to a large number of battlefield sites. Recent moves
to highlight the archaeological importance of these sites, in the form of Historic Scotland’s Battlefields Inventory are discussed,
along with some of the problems associated with the preservation and management of these important cultural sites. 相似文献

Recent work by archaeologists emphasized the contributions of archaeological fieldwork to the study of post-classical Greece.
This marks a significant departure from traditional approaches to the archaeology of Byzantium that tended to focus on art
historical methods and architectural history. Despite these changes in the study of post-classical Greece, the issues of abandonment,
continuity and change continue to play an important role both in ongoing debates and will undoubtedly influence future research
priorities. Only collaboration among scholars who study historical archaeology in Greece and elsewhere will ensure the continued
relevance of this field even as these long-standing debates wane in relevance. 相似文献

Despite the relevance of material culture in the politics and culture of Italian Fascism (1922–45), this phenomenon has rarely
been approached from an archaeological point of view. In this article, I argue that archaeology can provide new insights into
the study of this particular version of totalitarianism. I will show the connections that an archaeological study of fascism
has with some concerns of historical archaeology, such as colonialism, power, conflict, and race. For this, three Italian
military sites in Ethiopia will be examined. 相似文献

Scholars have frequently invoked the abandonment of Early Christian basilicas in the sixth and seventh centuries as key evidence
for the end of antiquity in Greece. The standard narrative treats the archaeological evidence for abandonment as the physical
manifestation of decline recorded in textual sources. The neat equivalency between archaeology and text ignores the role that
abandonment plays in the narrative strategies of the textual sources. By reexamining the tie between text and archaeology,
we can read the life cycle of the Early Christian basilica in Greece more critically and consequently expand our understanding
of this dynamic period in Greek history. 相似文献

Niche construction theory (NCT) is a relatively new development within evolutionary biology, but one that has important implications
for many adjacent fields of research, including the human sciences. Here, we present a broad overview of NCT and discuss its
application to archaeology. We begin by laying out the basic arguments of NCT, including a historical overview, focusing on
how it affects understanding of human behavior and evolution. We then consider how NCT can be used to inform empirical research
and how it might profitably be applied in archaeology, using as a case study the origins of agriculture. We suggest that the
unrivaled potency of human niche construction, compared with that of other species, means that archaeologists need not be
mere consumers of biological insights but can become important contributors to evolutionary theory. 相似文献

Archaeology of ancient China’s periphery has traditionally been examined through the historiographic lens of Chinese textual
sources. Social developments in the periphery are often explained in relation to accounts of migration from “core” regions
of China. Setting conventional paradigms and textual sources aside, this article examines prehistoric developments in southwestern
China in conjunction with broader trends in Southeast Asia. This comparative approach reveals that the development of bronze
metallurgy in southwestern China parallels trends observed among Neolithic communities in Southeast Asia. Using recent data
and a reassessment of radiocarbon dates for the Bronze Age, I propose that sociopolitical complexity emerged in southwestern
China as part of a multiregional phenomenon that had its beginning with the formalization of trade networks during the Neolithic
period. 相似文献

The article examines children's and parents' perspectives on risks and safety in the neighbourhood in the context of Serbian society undergoing turbulent transformation. The evidence for the analysis comes from a small-scale survey with parents and 13–14-year-old schoolchildren and eight group interviews with the children in three Belgrade urban settings. The data show that the main difference between children's and parents' perspective is situated along the axis general risks in broader society vs. particular knowledge of risks and coping strategies embedded in the neighbourhoods. Such difference is related to different social positions of adults and children but is also significantly marked by specific social context. Bearing in mind recent brutalisation of Serbian society, risk anxiety in general is lower than might be expected. Due to weak institutions parents still rely considerably on social safety nets within the neighbourhoods. Their practices are generally more instructive than restrictive, thus implicitly supporting the practices through which children exercise significant agency in using places. Different spatial characteristics of the studied neighbourhoods emerged as an important contextual variable in both children's and parents' perspective on risks. The under-urbanised suburban locations are perceived as more risky, contrary to experience in the West. 相似文献

This paper examines the processes of settlement and abandonment of the medieval countryside as revealed by archaeological
surveys undertaken in southern Greece. The Nemea region, the focus of an intensive archaeological survey, serves as a case
study. Early archaeological surveys approached this time period primarily from a historical point of view. Political history
provided the textual frame while the archaeological data were expected to “fill in” the gaps of the historical record. In
contrast, in the last twenty-five years the second generation of surveys has taken an active interest in the archaeological
documentation of the medieval countryside. The settlement trends observed in Nemea are viewed as manifestations of a variety
of political, social, and economic processes. 相似文献
