Knowledge Networks and Craft Traditions in the Ancient World by Katharina Rebay-Salisbury,Ann Brysbaert,Lin Foxhall Pdf

This edited volume investigates knowledge networks based on materials and associated technologies in Prehistoric Europe and the Classical Mediterranean. It emphasises the significance of material objects to the construction, maintenance, and collapse of networks of various forms – which are central to explanations of cultural contact and change. Focusing on the materiality of objects and on the way in which materials are used adds a multidimensional quality to networks. The properties, functions, and styles of different materials are intrinsically linked to the way in which knowledge flows and technologies are transmitted. Transmission of technologies from one craft to another is one of the main drivers of innovation, whilst sharing knowledge is enabled and limited by the extent of associated social networks in place. Archaeological research has often been limited to studying objects made of one particular material in depth, be it lithic materials, ceramics, textiles, glass, metal, wood or others. The knowledge flow and transfer between crafts that deal with different materials have often been overlooked. This book takes a fresh approach to the reconstruction of knowledge networks by integrating two or more craft traditions in each of its chapters. The authors, well-known experts and early career researchers, provide concise case studies that cover a wide range of materials. The scope of the book extends from networks of craft traditions to implications for society in a wider sense: materials, objects, and the technologies used to make and distribute them are interwoven with social meaning. People make objects, but objects make people – the materiality of objects shapes our understanding of the world and our place within it. In this book, objects are treated as clues to social networks of different sorts that can be contrasted and compared, both spatially and diachronically.

Military Departures, Homecomings and Death in Classical Athens by Owen Rees Pdf

This volume sheds new light on the experience of ancient Greek warfare by identifying and examining three fundamental transitions undergone by the classical Athenian hoplite as a result of his military service: his departure to war, his homecoming from war having survived, and his homecoming from war having died. As a conscript, a man regularly called upon by his city-state to serve in the battle lines and perform his citizen duty, the most common military experience of the hoplite was one of transition – he was departing to or returning from war on a regular basis, especially during extended periods of conflict. Scholarship has focused primarily on the experience of the hoplite after his return, with a special emphasis on his susceptibility to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), but the moments of transition themselves have yet to be explored in detail. Taking each in turn, Owen Rees examines the transitions from two sides: from within the domestic environment as a member of an oikos, and from within the military environment as a member of the army. This analysis presents a new template for each and effectively maps the experience of the hoplite as he moves between his domestic and military duties. This allows us to reconstruct the effects of war more fully and to identify moments with the potential for a traumatic impact on the individual.

Attika by Hans Lohmann,Torsten Mattern Pdf

Attika, die ostlichste Landschaft Mittelgriechenlands, war zusammen mit ihrem Vorort Athen neben Sparta nicht nur die flachengrosste hellenische Polis, sondern mit rund 300 000 Einwohnern auch die bevolkerungsreichste. Als Wiege der abendlandischen Kultur steht Athen auch zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts im Brennpunkt des allgemeinen wie des wissenschaftlichen Interesses. Attika ist fur Historiker und Archaologen vor allem deshalb eine "zentrale" Landschaft des Mittelmeerraumes, weil sich in ihr materielle Reste, epigraphische Quellen und historisch-literarische Uberlieferung verdichten wie in keiner anderen Region Griechenlands. Da das klassische Zeitalter Athens unbestreitbar einen der grossen Hohepunkte abendlandischer Kulturgeschichte darstellt, ist alles, was diese Epoche betrifft, von grosstem kulturwissenschaftlichen Interesse. Auf eine Phase hochster Blute im 5. und 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. folgte ein abrupter Niedergang und fuhrte in weiten Bereichen zu einer Fossilisierung der Kulturlandschaft, die ideale Voraussetzungen bot, Einblick in die Lebensverhaltnisse, die Siedlungsformen und Wirtschaftsweisen der Bewohner des antiken Attika zu nehmen. Zugleich ist Attika aber heute auch die am starksten zerstorte antike Kulturlandschaft Griechenlands. Unzahlige Fundstatten aus allen Epochen sind unbeachtet von Wissenschaft und Offentlichkeit dem unkontrollierten Bauboom der letzten dreissig Jahre zum Opfer gefallen. Der von Hans Lohmann und Torsten Mattern herausgegebene Band prasentiert neue Forschungen zu Athen und Attika und gibt Impulse fur kunftige Forschungen.
