Seeman, Mark F., et Kevin C. Nolan. « Building the Ohio Hopewell Chronology : An Incremental Approach to Historical Reckoning ». American Antiquity 88, no 2 (avril 2023) : 144–62. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/aaq.2023.6.
Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractOhio Hopewell is an archaeological concept that is known worldwide but that suffers from “a disarray of radiocarbon results” (Lynott 2015:60). Here, we establish a comprehensive dataset of 425 14C dates from Ohio Hopewell sites and apply formal chronometric hygiene criteria to all dates. We then iteratively assess the temporal placement and span of the six most important Ohio Hopewell sites—the Hopewell Mound Group, Liberty, Mound City, Seip, Tremper, and Turner. A staged relaxation of hygiene criteria for our best three categories (Classes 1–3) permits alternate but generally consistent conclusions. As the first large-scale analyses of Ohio Hopewell temporality since the publication of IntCal20 (Reimer et al. 2020), the available data show a ritual complex that begins 90 or more years later than generally has been recognized circa 2010 14C BP, or as Bayesian modeled, AD 90–120. Our analysis reveals site histories of differing spans, more late dates than early dates, and with most Hopewell activity ending across these sites circa 1640 14C BP, or as Bayesian modeled, AD 395–430. An increased consideration of contingency in contemporary temporal reckoning increases the utility of the historical narratives that we as archaeologists can construct.

Verba, Taras. « Volyn regional Museum archaeological collection on scientific periodical pages of Independence time ». SUMY HISTORICAL AND ARCHIVAL JOURNAL, no 40 (2023) : 36–48. http://dx.doi.org/10.21272/shaj.2023.i40.p.36.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The article examines Volyn regional Museum archaeological collection (hereinafter – VRM) through the prism of scientific researches published in domestic periodicals during the period of Ukraine's independence. The relevance of the research is related to the necessity of study and popularization of the transitive archaeological heritage, which performs important sociocultural functions, such as the restoration of historical memory and the preservation of cultural self-identification of identity, which is especially relevant due to modern events, the influence of neighboring cultures and growing globalization. During the research, author characterized the quantitative composition of VRM archaeological collection. At the end of 2022, it had 23,880 registration numbers, which makes the collection one of the largest archaeological collections in Western Ukraine. The author noted that the accumulation of archaeological objects inVRM collections did not go unnoticed by scientists from various cities and institutions. The results of their researches were usually published in the form of articles and reports in domestic scientific periodicals and magazines. The main tasks followed by the researchers were the involvement of the archaeological collection objects to the scientific circulation, their attribution clarification, comprehensive analysis of the incomes. The author assorted all scientific publications related to the VRM archaeological collection according to several criteria. One of the main ones is their writing form and style. Reviews and analytical publications are highlighted. In the first ones, authors described collections or selections of objects, characterized their external features and functional purpose. Most of them are written in short informative messages form. On the other hand, in analytical publications objects from different monuments were compared, was presented their in-depth interpretation, and were drown conclusions about particular ethno-cultural or ethno-historical issues. Almost all analytical publications are written as large scientific articles. Another important criterion for the publications systematization of the VHLM archaeological collection is the scientific publications type in which they were published. Conventionally, they can be divided into informative archaeological collections, regional historical and local history publications, all-Ukrainian specialist publications on archeology and ancient history. The largest number of articles written about the VRM collections belong to H. Okhrimenko, and they were also actively researched by the State Enterprise "Volyn Starozhytnosti" employees. Researchers paid special attention to materials from the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Middle Ages, and early modern times. Despite a significant number of publications, most objects from the VRM archaeological collection have not been introduced into scientific circulation, and many artifacts require re-attribution.

Tucker, Patrick M. « The mysterious ruins : Rescuing the Spafford farmstead from the forgotten war of 1812 ». North American Archaeologist 39, no 2 (avril 2018) : 87–130. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0197693118772593.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The Amos Spafford farmstead (33Wo50) of Port Miami in northwest Ohio disappeared from the historical record after the War of 1812. Port Miami, a Franco-American village, was the first U.S. federal customs facility established in Ohio in 1805. It was destroyed in 1812 by a British and Native American detachment led by Captain Peter Latouche Chambers (British 41st Regiment of Foot), the Shawnee leader Tecumseh, and the Wyandot leader Roundhead. Port Miami’s destruction became lost over the years to the historical memory and consciousness of Ohio. Salvage excavations of the Spafford farmstead (1810–1823) in 1977 and its history provide an archaeological window within which to view Port Miami’s obliteration and its recovery to the community heritage of the state.

Himbaza, Innocent. « Le mur de Manassé (2 Ch xxxiii 14) entre archéologues et théologiens ». Vetus Testamentum 57, no 3 (2007) : 283–94. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/156853307x190741.
Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractMost archaeological scholarship accepts as historical the information of 2Ch xxxiii 14, which claims that Manasseh built a fortification wall in Jerusalem. However, there is no unanimity as to its identification, since recent archaeological publications indicate at least two walls. Concerning theological publications, 63% of them do not include archaelogical data in their discussions on that point. This article points out this lack of balance and suggests a possible solution.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The article is dedicated to the main aim of the Soviet archaeology, which was also its feature – to study social development of ancient societies basing on archaeological sources. It was stated at the beginning of 1930s and after the WW2 a list of actual tasks was specified. In the late 1940’s – the early 1970’s they included studying of regularities and features of ancient (from primitive to feudal) societies development, reconstruction of concrete history of folks from the USSR territory, which had no written language, researches on handicrafts, swap and trade, studies of the mediaeval village history, examination of primitive society ideology, improvement of the typological method and archaeological theory, preparation of fundamental publications. All these tasks were practically realized in work of archaeological research institutions during above mentioned period, in particular, research fellows of central and republican archaeological research establishments worked on topics related to study of social and historical problems of ancient societies basing on archaeological data. As well these problems were discussed at methodological workshops of the Institute of archaeology AS USSR and its Leningrad branch, at All-Union meetings and conferences. Soviet archaeologists completed resumptive archaeological publications with historical conclusions and chapters or even separate volumes of fundamental books dedicated to history of particular folks, regions or periods in the 1950’s – the early 1970’s. This work on social and historical problematique determined Soviet archaeologists’ requirement for methodology development which was a cause of appearance of a new subdiscipline. The Soviet theoretical archaeology institutionalized in the early 1970s.

Bencze, Ünige, et Levente László Zólya. « The Bethlen castle in the light of written sources and the latest excavations ». Hungarian Archaeology 11, no 3 (2022) : 26–34. http://dx.doi.org/10.36338/ha.2022.3.1.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Probably one of the most beautiful Renaissance castles in Transylvania, attracting numerous visitors every year, it is situated in Criș/Keresd4 (Kreisch in German), on one of the ancient properties of the Bethlen family. A considerable amount of educational writings, art historical analyses, and historical works discuss the history of the castle and the Bethlen family. However, there is hardly any scientific work synthesizing the relatively rich set of available written sources, the results of the previous excavations, and the conclusions that can be drawn from the still-standing building parts. Although archaeological excavations have been carried out on the castle’s territory, relatively little is known about the preceding manor or manor houses. It must be highlighted that the results of the earlier archaeological excavations and wall surveys are difficult to summarize because of a lack of documentation and never-completed publications; however, the historical and architectural importance of the building complex makes it necessary for us to survey the previous work and present a current state of research before starting new investigations. Therefore, this study aims to briefly summarize the results of the historical research and previous archaeological excavations and to formulate the research questions to be addressed by the new archaeological research project that has started in 2020, as well as the ones that may arise during a complex (historical, archaeological, art historical and architectural) investigation of the castle.

Oleksenko, Roman, Vladyslav Parkhomenko et Olha Perepeliuk. « Antiquities of Northern Black Sea Region and Bessarabia on Pages of Eparchy Publications in Pre-Soviet Era ». Eminak, no 2(42) (15 août 2023) : 220–33. http://dx.doi.org/10.33782/eminak2023.2(42).649.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The purpose of the publication is to study the informational potential of local church periodicals for modern archaeological science.
The scientific novelty is in drawing the attention of the archaeological community to non-standard sources of obtaining information for the history of archaeological science and the formation of generalizing information about archaeological sites and finds of material culture.
Conclusions. It can be stated with certainty that ‘Eparchialnyie Vedomosti’ can serve not only as a source for the history of archaeological science (in terms of the participation of the clergy and church societies in the accumulation of archaeological knowledge), but also as a direct source of information on finds, their location, and nature.
The entire amount of material related to archeology, presented in the studied collections of the ‘Eparchialnyie Vedomosti’, can be divided into 3 main groups: 1) authoritative orders on the protection of antiquities; 2) reports about church institutions (societies, commissions, museums); 3) analytical reviews on localities and settlements.
The first group of materials shows the process of involving the clergy in the process of discovering and preserving cultural and archeological sites. The participation of the clergy in the Archaeological Congresses in Kyiv and Odesa is also associated with this group.
A great number of publications of ‘Eparchialnyie Vedomosti’ are represented by materials on the activities of local church-archaeological societies – reports of the societies, event chronicles and details of some meetings, research materials, etc.
An important source of historical and local lore information about settlements and their outskirts is historical and statistical analytical reviews, which were regularly published in ‘Eparchialnyie Vedomosti’. One of the sections of such reviews was ‘Archaeological Sites’, where it was necessary to describe ramparts, settlements, burial mounds, caves, pile (lake) structures, dolmens, Stone Age sites (kjoekkenmoeddinger), etc. Many reviews contain interesting material for modern archeology not only in the context of the history of science but also in practical terms, pointing to the places of disappeared sites, found troves, and single finds.

Hume, Ivor Noël, et Henry M. Miller. « Ivor Noël Hume : Historical Archaeologist ». Public Historian 33, no 1 (2011) : 9–32. http://dx.doi.org/10.1525/tph.2011.33.1.9.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Ivor Noël Hume is one of the founders of historical archaeology in North America and has long championed the integration of documentary and archaeological evidence for understanding the past. As the chief archaeologist at Colonial Williamsburg for three decades, he directed numerous excavations and literally wrote the book on colonial artifacts. Committed to sharing research findings with the public, he led the way through varied publications and films and developed the first major exhibits about colonial archaeology in the United States. His most well-known project is the exploration and exhibition of the early seventeenth-century Virginia settlement of Martin's Hundred.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The article considers international archaeological terms which show that the ways of their creation are different. These may be ready-made language units taken from Greek, Latin or another language, or words that have undergone reinterpretation in relation to the needs of archaeology, or terms created in the field of archaeology from interna-tional term elements. Comparison of the semantics of terms in a number of languages allowed to reveal pseudo-international lexicon homologous only in form.Archaeology holds a special place among historical Sciences. Studying materials of historical sources, provides are source for historical reconstructions of ancient eras. Today, archaeology in our country has turned from an auxiliary historical discipline in the pre-revolutionary period into a science that solves important historical problems of social progress, economic development, religion, art, formation and mutual influence of cultures.As one of the most important disciplines of the historical cycle, archaeology has its object of study and its terminology with its inherent specificity. From a linguistic point of view, archaeological terminology is of high interest for research. Due to extra linguistic reasons. Unity of purpose and tasks of historical research determines the similarity of the language of archaeology with the historical description, the uniqueness of the object of archaeological science lies in the connection that provides the intimacy of its terminology with lexicon of popular language. The materialist conception of archaeology, its class character brings language archaeological publications with the language of social and political Sciences.

Shaidullin, Rafail V. « “Tatar Encyclopedia” in the Context of Systematization, Generalization and Scientifi c Popularization of Knowledge about the Archaeology of Tatarstan ». Povolzhskaya Arkheologiya (The Volga River Region Archaeology) 2, no 40 (27 juin 2022) : 242–48. http://dx.doi.org/10.24852/pa2022.2.40.242.248.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The scientific article is devoted to the study of the characteristic features of the development of archaeological content on the pages of the 6-volume "Tatar Encyclopedia" in Russian and Tatar languages. In it, along with a brief illustration of the history of the formation and development of archaeological research in the territory of modern Tatarstan, the conceptual and terminological content of the section «Archeology» of the «Tatar Encyclopedia» is considered in a statistical and rubricational context, and special attention is paid to the problem of personification of the names of archaeologists and numismatists on the pages of the encyclopedia. In addition, the article fragmentally analyzes the «Archaeological map of the Republic of Tatarstan» and «Archaeological monuments of the Tatar ASSR» in the context of using the materials of these reference publications when writing historical references for the section «Archeology» about ancient and medieval monuments of the historical and cultural heritage of the peoples of Tatarstan. At the same time, some critical judgments are expressed regarding the content level of a number of articles on the section «Archeology». The final part of the article talks about the socio-cultural significance of the development and publication of the illustrated encyclopedia «Archeology of Tatarstan». This encyclopedic publication will become a new form of systematization and generalization of archaeological materials about the material and spiritual culture of the peoples of Tatarstan, collected and published by the Russian historical and archaeological community for many decades.

Hart, John P., et Bernard K. Means. « The Monongahela tradition in “real time” : Bayesian analysis of radiocarbon dates ». PLOS ONE 17, no 10 (26 octobre 2022) : e0276014. http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0276014.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Despite advances in techniques, methods, and theory, northeastern North American archaeologists continue to use early to mid-twentieth century culture historical taxa as units of analysis and narrative. There is a distinct need to move away from this archaeological practice to enable fuller understandings of past human lives. One tool that enables such a move is Bayesian analysis of radiocarbon dates, which provides a means of constructing continuous chronologies. A large dataset of radiocarbon dates for late prehistoric (ca AD 900/1000–1650) sites in the lower upper Ohio River basin in southwestern Pennsylvania and adjacent portions of Maryland, Ohio, and West Virginia is used here as an example. The results allow a preliminary assessment of how the settlement plans of contemporaneous villages varied considerably, reflecting decisions of the village occupants how to structure built environments to meet their needs.

Nimenko, Nataliia. « Research on Vedmezhe settlement in Romny region : Mykola Makarenko's excavations ». Materials and studies on archaeology of Sub-Carpathian and Volhynian area 23 (26 novembre 2019) : 388–95. http://dx.doi.org/10.33402/mdapv.2019-23-388-395.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The article is devoted to the study of the little-known biography pages of the famous archaeologist, art critic, organizer of the museum activity M. Makarenko (1877–1938). Shot as a public enemy for his steady position on the protection of historical and cultural monuments, the scientist had left a number of publications covering various areas of his activity, as well as dedicated to specific architectural and archaeological sites. However, not all the ideas of the scientist have been implemented. Archival documents kept at central and regional institutions, museum funds include materials that reveal plans to continue exploring particular archaeological sites and writing certain publications. For several decades, M. Makarenko studied archaeological sites in Romny region (territory of modern Sumy region), which gave grounds to speak about opening of a new archaeological culture, now known as Romny culture. Four settlements were the most interesting from a scientific point of view: Monastyrysche, Vedmezhy, on the khutirs of Vashkevych and Hlynske. Fundamental work of the scientist, devoted to Romny archaeological culture, is “Monastyrysche” settlement. However, according to the documents, the scientist also planned a separate publication of the materials from the excavations of the site Vedmezhe. The plans were not implemented. Drafts were also not found. In the article on the basis of archival documents, M. Makarenko’s publications and drawings, the attempt to reproduce the chronology of the study of Vedmezhe settlement from 1906 to the end of the 1920s is made; the main results of the excavations are highlighted. The main factors that influenced the effectiveness of scientific research in the 1920s are shown. During excavations of Vedmezhe settlement, M. Makarenko for the first time applied a new technique – burial scraper, which the scientist later used when studying archaeological sites near Sumy and Mariupol. Key words: research, archaeological site, settlement, excavations, plan, drawing, pottery.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This article considers Childe's career in Scotland, where he was Abercromby Professor of Prehistoric Archaeology at Edinburgh University 1927–1946, and assesses his impact on Scottish archaeology and the Scottish archaeological community. Matters discussed include his development of teaching programmes and resources within the university, and his association with the Edinburgh League of Prehistorians. His excavation and fieldwork at Skara Brae and elsewhere, and his publications during this span, are considered. Childe's collaborations with the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland and the National Museum, especially during the Second World War, are reviewed. The archaeological achievements of some of his Edinburgh students are briefly summarized.

Erokhin, B. R. « BUDDHIST HERITAGE OF KALINGA (ODISHA STATE, INDIA) ». Bulletin of Udmurt University. Series History and Philology 30, no 1 (21 mars 2020) : 119–25. http://dx.doi.org/10.35634/2412-9534-2020-30-1-119-125.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The interaction between autochthonous, Buddhist and Hindu traditions here is regarded through the historical perspective basing on the material presented in publications of the state’s historical school which describe the archaeological and epigraphic monuments of Odisha. Unlike the “brahminical” approach, which generally dominates the Indian historiography and diminishes the influence of Buddhism on the Indian subcontinent, the studies of the local school provide more attention to this factor forming the regional history. The introduction describes the early period of Kalinga's relationship with Buddhism. The main part of the article is dedicated to the evidence of the overwhelming presence of Buddhist tantric tradition and subsequent gradual adaptation of Buddhist images and symbols in Hinduism. Due attention is paid to the outstanding figures of Buddhism whose lives were connected with Odisha, and to the main archaeological sites of the state. The conclusion generalizes the historical process of assimilation of Buddhist ideas and practices on the Indian subcontinent, which ended in the 13-14 centuries by extinguishing Buddhism over the most part of the subcontinent.

Marinov, Ivan, et Nicolas Zorzin. « Thracology and Nationalism in Bulgaria. Deconstructing Contemporaneous Historical and Archaeological Representations ». Ex Novo : Journal of Archaeology 2 (31 décembre 2017) : 85–110. http://dx.doi.org/10.32028/exnovo.v2i0.391.
Texte intégralRésumé :
It is now widely acknowledged that Bulgarian academic discourses of the country’s so-called communist era (1945-1989) were heavily politicized with the aim of nationalizing and ethnicizing the history of the Bulgarian people. This communist era phenomenon subscribes to a chronologically vaster process of nationalist continuum recognized to have spanned from the middle-end of the nineteenth century to at least the early 1990s. Despite this trend, Bulgarian academics, especially in the field of archaeology, have more recently presented their post-communist, transition period disciplines as ideology-free, objective, scientific research.
In this paper, we provide examples of recent theoretical developments and interpretations in the sub-field of thracology – studies of ancient Thracian culture – that indicate that this claim to objectivity is unfounded. Based on the examples provided we argue that not only have Bulgarian academic discourses in the fields in question not severed with the ethnicizing practices of the so-called nationalist continuum of the pre-communist and communist eras, but they are now flourishing on the nationalist foundation of the preceding century and a half. As such discourses are reproduced unquestioningly in specialized publications, their influence on right wing populism is incontestable as they provide the latter, wittingly or not, with the scientific authority it needs to justify its ethnicizing of “historical” tenets of racial and social discrimination.

Texte intégralRésumé :
As a result of the development of archeological researches in the Aral Sea region, the range of materials was gradually increased. In the early stages of research, the promotion and resolution of historical reconstruction issues based on archaeological sources were limited to unbiased reasons, and the introduction and description of the archeological material and evidence obtained in the first place was necessary. Therefore, even in the 50s and 60s of the last century, most of their scientific publications were devoted to the "preliminary", "some" results of the study of monuments in the Khorezm oasis, as well as the description of excavations and findings in particular places. Such an approach is undoubtedly relevant in archeological science, due to its role in field research. Also, the archaeological materials of the Neolithic and Bronze Age, which were found in the oasis, provided wide opportunities for studying the socio-economic system of ancient communities.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Research objectives: To study the composition and geography of the Golden Horde collections conserved in the State Historical Museum. It is necessary to demonstrate: how museum collections are used as an essential tool of the modern researcher; how the attitude towards this source of information changes in a chronological perspective; how the absence of any types of sources’ information encourages researchers to discover new directions and develop new archaeological aspects of their study. Additionally, attention should be paid to the question of key events that became starting points for the beginning of archaeological research of the Golden Horde cities. Research materials: The lists of the collections of archaeological department of the State Historical Museum, the main inventory book of the museum, and archaeological items from the the Golden Horde collections of the archaeological department. Results and novelty of the research: The author identified the following methods of replenishing the collections: finds of private individuals of the second half of nineteenth century, items of famous collectors (P.I. Shchukin), archaeological finds of the founders of the museum (P.S. Uvarova), excavations on the instructions of the Imperial Archaeological Commission (D.Ya. Samokvasov, N.I. Veselovsky, V.A. Gorodtsov, A.A. Spitsyn, etc.), transfers from other museums (Rumyantsev Museum, Hermitage), research by museum staff (E.V. Weimarn, V.P. Levasheva, V.L. Egorov, L.L. Savchenkova, N.I. Shishlina, etc.), receipts from the state bodies of the Soviet period (the Simferopol hoard), excavations by archaeologists from friendly research organizations (G.A. Fedorov-Davydov, M.G. Kramarovsky, etc.). Many items from these collections have taken their place in the exhibition space. The exhibition space itself was built with the database of information and publications of researchers being taken into account. Thus, the finds of the Volga expedition made it possible to display the main aspects of the statehood of the Golden Horde: its architectural traditions, culture, and all types of crafts. Also, the exposition contains items of armament – that is, the main nomadic component of the Golden Horde civilization – as well as two paizas of the heyday of the Golden Horde. Although the exposition cannot reflect all aspects of the Golden Horde civilization, the main (nomadic and sedentary) components are still demonstrated.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The significance of the African provinces is well-appreciated in historical studies of the Roman Empire, but there is a distinct lack of good summaries in English on recent developments in the field of study. Some introductory books sacrifice readability in favour of detail, others offer a more synthetic view, but lack depth. The bibliography is now vast and ever more intimidating for the uninitiated; we hope that what follows will serve both as a useful introduction for those new to the field and as a refresher for others. In this review we have concentrated on developments which seem to us to be of particular importance, whilst directing the reader's attention to basic references in other areas. The emphasis throughout is on archaeological work and this will explain short measure having to be given to some important historic and epigraphic studies. Another choice had to be the geographical limits of the study and, mostly, we have restricted our coverage to Africa Proconsularis and Numidia, though certain themes demand expanding the horizons to sites in the Mauretanian provinces and Cyrenaica also. We have considered 1970 as an appropriate start-date for our survey, allowing us to review developments across the last twenty five years, though necessarily with greater emphasis being placed on publications of the last decade.

Bulletin of Kemerovo State University 21, no 4 (31 décembre 2019) : 940–47. http://dx.doi.org/10.21603/2078-8975-2019-21-4-940-947.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The paper features the interaction of archaeological science and textbooks on archeology. It successively examines the history of textbooks on archeology in Russia published for higher education institutions of history, from the XIX century to the present. The author stresses the importance of textbooks in the formation and development of archeology as one of the main subjects of university historical education. Archeology and its textbooks play a key role in the reconstruction of important historical events of the three million years of human history, especially in cases when archaeological materials are the only source. Archeology discovered civilizations of the Ancient East, e.g. China, India, Iran, as well as Archaic Greece and ancient Rome. The paper states the significance of the archaeological heritage of Russia. Since 1970s, only two universities in Russia, Lomonosov Moscow State University and Kemerovo State University (Department of Archeology), have been publishing university textbooks on archeology to be used in universities nationwide. The list involves nine publications prepared by Kemerovo State University. These textbooks are unique from the point of view of the content and methodology of the presentation. The article focuses on the interaction of archaeological science and university textbooks. This concerns the explanation of global historical events, e.g. the early colonization of Eurasia, ethnogenesis in the Middle Paleolithic Era, human migration to America in the Upper Paleolithic, the formation of cultural in the early Holocene, revolution of the producing economy in the Paleometallic Era, etc. The author describes the effect of archeological textbooks on the formation of the conceptual foundations of modern archeology as a historical science. The section "One History – Two Sciences" features the shortcomings of modern Russian historical science, in particular, the lack of alternative to the concept of formational explanation of history in school and university textbooks. History is currently being demonstrated exclusively as a social-class development process, which makes it impossible to understand the role of the fundamental foundations of historical development, as well as the role of discoveries, innovations, achievements in the field of material culture and productive economy. As a result, the human achievements of the past, which are indicated in archeology textbooks, do not find proper application in explaining the historical processes in Russia and Eurasia in modern history textbooks.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The study of monuments of ancient culture in the territory of southern Ukraine began at the end of the 18th century, and became regular at the end of the 19th century. In addition to historical and archaeological descriptions, maps and plans of the remains of ancient northern Black Sea cities were created. Subsequently, attempts were made to collect archaeological materials, as well as intelligence on the history of the Bosporus kingdom and Olbia. From the end of the XIX century. systematic excavations of the largest ancient city-states and their necropolises on the territory of Ukraine – Berezan and Olbia, Chersonesus, mounds of the Bosporan kingdom, etc. Defensive structures, residential quarters, thermal baths (baths) and a mint in Chersonesos, dozens of monumental burial structures were opened. The study of the Northern Black Sea region does not stop, the excavations of new places, which hide the secrets of history that have not yet been revealed, continue. Interesting research materials of the Northern Black Sea region are stored in the Scientific Library of the Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University. (ONU) in the A. G. Gotalov-Gotlib fund. There are book editions and publications of the works of famous historians and archaeologists dedicated to the Northern Black Sea region. Most of the copies of these publications were presented to the professor by fellow scientists, graduate students and employees of the university, including V. I. Selinov, M. S. Sinitsyn, M. F. Boltenko, G. D. Belov, and V. F. Haydukevich. The research materials of the Northern Black Sea region, stored in the fund of A. G. Gotalov-Gotlib, contain important and interesting information for archaeologists and historians who study the architectural monuments of Odessa and the Scythian-Sarmatian monuments of Odesa (Ovidiopol, Usatove village, the village of Kryva Balka), historical and archaeological monuments of Ochakov (Pitukhivka settlement), o. Berezani, Crimean Peninsula (Khersones, Bosphorus).

Texte intégralRésumé :
The mid-first millennium CE represents a crucial period in the emergence of early polities in Southeast Asia. However, disagreement remains between archaeologists and art historians as to the precise dating of this shift from prehistory to history. This article focuses on the Dvāravatī period and re-evaluates evidence in Thai and Western language publications. A growing number of sites excavated over the past two decades in particular show occupation from c. the fourth to fifth century onwards while others provide a continual sequence stretching back well into the Iron Age. I argue that evidence from these sites makes a strong case for postulating a proto-Dvāravatī period spanning c. the fourth to fifth centuries. In doing so this article proposes this period as the timeframe within which the nascent traits and characteristics of what becomes Dvāravatī in the seventh to ninth centuries are present and gradually developing.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The article provides an analytical overview of the books by Russian authors of the 19th century, containing information about Abkhazia. Among the studied editions are well-known books that have widespread use in science, as well as rare ones, which have not been given due attention. The reviewed publications contain information about Abkhazia of a physical-geographical, military-topographic, military-statistical, historical-ethnographic, linguistic and archaeological nature. The article attempts to establish the differences in the authors’ cognitive interest in Abkhazia. The materials of the analyzed texts differ in terms of their volume, some of them represent a section or chapter of a book, and there are also generalizing publications entirely devoted to Abkhazia. Despite the discrepancies encountered between the editions in the description of the ethnic appearance of the Abkhaz people, they all contributed to the accumulation of knowledge about it, and played an important role in the formation of scientific Abkhaz studies. Biased assessments and condemnatory characteristics given by individual authors to historical circumstances have been critically analyzed.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study of Medieval Archaeology presents a quantitative survey of publications as they appear in NAA 1986 to 1990.The survey indicates a shift of interest in those years from urban archaeology to other areas, i. e. castles, iron production and in some sense rural activities. A significant growth of interest in theory and methods can be detected which could be considered as a sign of maturity of Medieval Archaeology in Sweden. The status of Medieval Archaeology in the research society is discussed and is considered to be quite low. It is suggested that the reason for this is the fact that the subject has a rather vague identity.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In 2021, we performed a ground penetrating radar survey at the place of the Epiphany Cathedral of the Kyiv Confraternal Monastery, destroyed in 1936, in order to precisely locate its foundations. The collection and analysis of archival information from open sources was carried out, which became the basis for the interpretation of the results of geophysical measurements. Publications and written testimonies of archaeologists who personally saw the foundations of the Cathedral became especially valuable. The set of historical data covers the period from 1615, that is, from the beginning of the construction of the wooden Epiphany Church, the predecessor of the Cathedral, to the present day. Original documents, blueprints, stock sources, photographs, and cartographic materials of the 17th––19th centuries, as well as historical works of the 19th–21st centuries, were analyzed. The information about the construction, restoration after the fire, functioning, and destruction of the Cathedral, as well as about the construction on its site in the 20th century, archaeological research in the 20th–21st centuries was generalized. Ground penetrating radar survey revealed the best-preserved group of foundations of the western wall of the Cathedral, which are proposed for archaeological excavations.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The research hereafter intends to establish how complex the Department of State Security (also known as Securitatea (DSS) was involved with the archaeological research in Romania during the eighties; this topic has been rather absent within recent historiographic studies. Having made this statement, it should be considered that some approaches have tackled the interferences of the official ideology in the interpretation of the archaeological data. The orthodoxy of some archaeologists can be justified by the continuous pressure from the DSS, or because of their status as collaborators of this institution of repression. The archaeological research from Caransebeș provides a relevant tool for understanding the mechanisms used by DSS to intervene in the middle of scientific debates, as a neutral judge; on the other hand, a series of documents from Arhiva Consiliului Național pentru Studierea Arhivelor Securității (ACNSAS) reveals further details that had been somewhat predicted by those archaeologists living within the respective period. The outcome of our research nevertheless overcomes all predictions the contemporary historians. The actual controversy regarding chronological and confessional ascriptions of Caransebeș disclosures was brutally altered by DSS, following its empirical principles of so-called historical truth. Those archaeologists refusing to obey and follow the principles established by DSS and of the official ideological framework had to face certain repercussions, from interdiction to proceed further archaeological prospecting to secret police surveillance, refusals to travel abroad, and close censorship for every study intended to be published in international magazines and other publications.

Geology and Mineral Resources of World Ocean 19, no 1 (2023) : 3–16. http://dx.doi.org/10.15407/gpimo2023.01.003.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This article is a continuation of the author’s series of publications devoted to the study of the resource potential of archaeological artifacts — sites of ancient and medieval heritage as anthropogenic components of modern geoecosystems of the Northern Black Sea coast (GESNBSC) and the nearby Black Sea shelf including the estuaries. These sites are currently partially or fully located in the transitional part of the Black Sea Geoecosystem (BSG) space and associated geoecological subsystems of estuaries, where modern natural aerial, aquatic and geological environmental subsystems interface with each other. The article presents the results of research, characterization and typification of archaeological sites of the cultural heritage of ancient and medieval times, which are located in the space of geoecosystems that were formed in this region. Among them are the underwater archaeological sites dis- covered in the space of ancient coastal and littoral paleogeoecosystems of the Bug Estuary, their connection with the most significant archaeological sites that were once formed as part of geoecosystems of the land. A preliminary reconstruction of the borders of the Bug Estuary in ancient and medieval times is made; there is demonstrated the resource archaeological potential of GESNBSC spaces and the adjacent zone of the Black Sea shelf with estuaries, including the ancient and medieval archaeo- logical sites of cultural heritage, which were created and for some time belonged to the spaces of cer- tain paleo-GESNBSC, but are now located in the space of modern geoecosystem of the Bug Estuary. The article gives a brief description of the already known archaeological, partially submerged sites of ancient and medieval cultural heritage, some other interesting underwater archaeological artifacts, and shows the feasibility of expanding their study with reference to bathymetric and geomorphological features of the boundaries between modern natural BSG environmental subsystems. Such knowledge is important both for solving the issues related to a more profound understanding of the causes and consequences of changes in the paleogeoecological and modern geoecological conditions of the shelf of Azov-Black Sea basin and GESNBSC, predicting their dynamics and directions of development, and for historical and archaeological reconstructions, in particular, to identify new cultural heritage sites. The results of geoarchaeological (that is, a complex of geoecological and archaeological) studies published in the article are important not only for understanding the formation and functioning of transitional geoecosystems with their resources, which include archaeological artifacts as anthropogenic components, but also for the development of public culture, historical memory population and expansion of its historical consciousness. In addition, such knowledge is necessary to consciously and competently address a number of economic problems in the development of communities in the Northern Black Sea region. In particular, to attract investment in the development of coastal and underwater tourism, to predict the impact of many geo-environmental processes inherent in the research region under specific conditions of the search, identification, use and preservation of the historical and archaeological potential of ancient and medieval cultural heritage located in the space of modern GESNBSC and BSG as their components. These anthropogenic components are objective evidence of the impact of natural geo-environ- mental conditions and their dynamics on the peculiarities of life and migration of the region’s inhabitants from ancient times up to the present.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Despite the fact that Palaeolithic sites in Ukraine are objects of cultural heritage and protected by law, a large number of them is on the verge of total destruction. Organization of the processes of protection and preservation, as well as monitoring of the state of such sites, is based entirely on state legal acts. The Law of Ukraine On the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage defines the protection of the archaeological heritage as a complex of measures carried out in accordance with the legislation by state authorities, enterprises, institutions, organizations, citizens, aimed at keeping records, protection, preservation, proper maintenance, appropriate use, conservation, restoration, rehabilitation and museisation of archaeological heritage objects, as well as dissemination of knowledge about archaeological heritage. A characteristic feature of the objects of the archaeological heritage is the material embodiment of scientific information, which is largely stored in the place of its formation, regardless of the state of preservation. The basis for the protection of the archaeological heritage is its properties, which impose a ban on any work on this area, except for works related to the scientific research of the archaeological heritage. State regulations in the field of cultural heritage regulate relations connected to the protection of the archaeological heritage of Ukraine – an integral part of the cultural heritage of humankind, a vulnerable and non-renewable source of knowledge about the historical past, as well as determine the rights and responsibilities of archaeological heritage researchers. Scientific research of archaeological heritage is the scientific activity aimed at gaining new knowledge about the objects of archaeological heritage, patterns of development of ancient society and man on the basis of the results of the analysis of archaeological materials and documented information (publications, scientific reports, etc.) of archaeological character. It is extremely important to create the necessary conditions for the state to carry out scientific studies of Palaeolithic sites in order to organize a proper regime for their protection in terms of legislation. Key words: site, archaeological heritage, cultural heritage, protection of Palaeolithic sites, law, legal norms.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Archaeological objects are often accompanied by recording units that constitute a corpus of information contained in museums and archives, but also in publications. These scientific writings deal with archaeological objects and collections through images that generally do not give the reader the possibility to physically interact with the photographed or drawn piece. In this context, we have chosen a picture of three flaked stones that appeared for the first time in a publication by Aureliano Oyarzun in 1917, on the discussion about the ‘paleolithic station’ of Taltal. The chosen photograph was subjected to an indexing method that led us to the deposit of the National Historical Museum, Chile, in order to find the indicated pieces. This finding questions us about the meaning of the image and the object portrayed, and, at the same time, questions us about the representational dynamics contained in the photographic image.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The article is dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the birth of the famous Soviet and Russian archaeologist, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of Bashkir State University Niyaz Abdulkhakovich Mazhitov. The object of the research is the works of the scientist published in the second half of the 1950s - the first half of the 1960s. The subject of the research is the theoretical developments of N.A. Mazhitov on the problems of cultural genesis in the Southern Urals in the Early Middle Ages, considered through the prism of his archaeological research and ethnocultural constructions. It is shown that despite the so-called "non-theoretical" period established in the studied period of time in archaeology and the absence of methodological works on cultural genesis in general, N. A. Mazhitov's publications showed a historical and cultural approach to studying the history of the Southern Urals in the I millennium AD. The methodological basis of the study is the analysis of the main publications of Niyaz Abdulkhakovich written in the initial period of the scientist's research activity related to the study of mainly the monuments of the 1st millennium AD. Bakhmutin, as well as the Pianobor and Turbasli archaeological cultures. An analytical review of N.A. Mazhitov's works devoted to the study of the ethnic history of the Southern Urals in the Early Middle Ages, conducted for the first time, allows us to conclude that his research was based, among other things, on the theoretical positions of cultural studies both in the study of the development of individual archaeological cultures of the Southern Urals in the I millennium AD, and in the study of ethnogenetic processes occurring in the region in general. Considering the ethnic history of the Bashkiria population in the designated period of time, Niyaz Abdulkhakovich largely appealed to the ethnocultural processes taking place in the region associated with changes in spiritual and material culture. Based on his work, the main factors that influenced their transformation can be called migration, socio-economic factor, intercultural interaction, traditions and innovations.

Texte intégralRésumé :
For many years, the Department of Archaeology, Ethnography and Museology of the Altai State University has been regularly receiving information about archaeological finds discovered in different circumstances in the Altai Territory, as well as in neighboring and remote regions. Such information is checked and followed by investigation. The results of constructive interaction have been reflected in publications, such as presented in a scientific periodical “Preservation and Study of the Cultural Heritage of Altai”. This article provides brief information about an archaeological site in critical condition due to the constant bank caving by the Isha River near the village of Kurlek in the Krasnogorsky District of the Altai Territory. In the summer of 2017, when fishing, a local resident collected fragments of ceramics and stones that fell from the cultural layer to the scree and river hirst. The collection reflects several cultural and chronological layers and requires special studying. It is important to identify a settlement of the Early Iron Age, which reflects one of historical stages in developing the northern Altai foothills by different social groups.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This paper reviews archaeological publications and fieldwork related to Macedonia and Thrace of the past five years, covering the Early Iron Age to the Hellenistic period, with reference also to sites and projects in Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Turkey. Published syntheses reveal the priorities that have driven archaeological research to date (for example funerary monuments, ties to historical figures and narratives, pottery) and a need for more studies on other aspects of social history and archaeology, such as subsistence, crafts and households. Fieldwork at settlements has continued over the years, but few are being dug and published to current standards. A discussion is growing about the role and use of the countryside, and field surveys and excavations are providing new data on this. Fortified rural sites in Greece and Bulgaria may indicate that similar social processes were afoot, but full publication and the retrieval of relevant comparative data, especially faunal and botanical, are essential for a better understanding of potential differences.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The following paper brings forth a less studied category of artefacts discovered in the Orăștie Mountains area. The terracotta pipes found in the area since the 19th c. are mentioned in different historical sources, archaeological reports and publications, but they have rarely been treated as the object of particular studies. As such, based on information obtained during my doctoral research that focused on the water management systems of pre-Roman Dacia, I will present some observations regarding the terracotta pipes discovered in the Orăștie Mountains. Before that, I will try to discuss the information and interpretations proposed for this type of artefacts during the last two centuries, in parallel to the general interpretation of the archaeological sites from the Orăștie Mountains and Grădiștea de Munte in particular. All of this is done in order to determine if this category of objects can be related to a certain period and cultural material expression.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The Ukrainian intellectual elite from Galicia understood the importance of building national cultural values through their scientific interpretation. The vectors of this rethinking are projected onto separate branch groups of the illustrated magazine «Nedіlia» publications (weekly supplement to the newspaper «Dіlo») and relate to various scientific fields – history, literary studies, linguistics, visual arts, music, theatre, natural sciences, etc. The authors of the publications such as Mykhailo Wozniak, Volodymyr Doroshenko, Natalіa Kobrynska, Ivan Krypyakevych, Ivan Rakovsky, Hnat Khotkevych, Ivan Franko, Vasyl Shchurat, and others – considered the problems of national culture in the pan-European context, made comparative parallels regarding the social status, financial situation and public resonance of the activities of Ukrainian and foreign scientists and artists results. Journal materials initiated such scientific disciplines as Shevchenko studies and Shashkevych studies contained rich historical and archaeological material on Ukrainian history in general, and Lviv, in particular, reflected a high assessment of the results of the Shevchenko Scientific Society. Historical research updates the topics of the prehistory of Ukraine, the era of Khmelnytskyi, identification of Ukrainian national symbols and at the same time. The newspaper’s publications make it possible to trace the connection between the development of Galician scientific processes and the press. In addition to purely professional publications, society needed popular science publications that would promote to a wider public space the researches, primarily in the humanitarianism field. The unity of the spiritual space of Ukrainians, separated by the border of two empires, is evidenced by the newspaper’s authors and the thematic dominants of scientific studies. Keywords: the Galician press of the beginning of the 20th century, «Nedіlia» weekly, scientific content, comparative studies, the nation unity.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This paper sets a framework by discussing the trends and approaches observable in the study of Late Antiquity over the last few decades. It takes up the points made in a recent article by A. Giardina and considers the models of continuity and change adopted in several recent collective publications. It questions whether the current enthusiasm for the ‘long Late Antiquity’, and the privileging of cultural over social and economic history are likely to continue in their present form. It draws attention to differences of emphasis between historians and archaeologists, and between analyses of the Eastern and Western parts of the empire, and stresses the complementarity of historical and archaeological approaches.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In 2012 and 2015, Zbigniew Kobyliński’s articles on valuing archaeological monuments and sites (the article of 2012 was co-authored by Jacek Wysocki) were printed in post-conference publications. Z. Kobyliński assumed that historic preservation officers can assess values of archaeological sites by basing on non-scientific criteria and the level of preservation of artifacts only. The author is also of the opinion that the criteria used for classifying and categorising both properties of special architectural and historic interest and works of arts cannot be applied to archaeological sites. This stems from the knowledge on full potential of archaeological monuments and sites being limited prior to conducting thorough analyses. According to Kobyliński, any value assessment results in negative selection of archaeological sites and therefore, it is of utmost importance to provide all resources with appropriate protection. The author of this article takes a different point of view. Assuming that there is 0.5 million sites entered into the Polish record of archaeological monuments and sites, Konopka is of the opinion that it is and will be impossible to provide all resources even with basic monitoring, not mentioning active care. He reckons that basing on the information collected by archaeologists, it is possible to nominate sites of outstanding potential. Analysing the records by applying the most innovative non-invasive methods may allow for selecting sites which should be provided with particular care in a certain region. Konopka calls for implementing a form in which past relics of outstanding historical value and features characteristic of archaeological sites would be listed. These would be useful in identifying the potential of the place to be protected. He suggests creating a card being of higher rank than the record. The information provided therein would be helpful in nominating properties and sites to be entered into the register of historic monuments and sites.

In 2021, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the birth of Doctor of Historical Sciences, employee of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, V.D. Kubarev. The article notes a great contribution of the scientist to the study of the archaeological cultures of Altai and Mongolia, the discovery of more than a thousand new sites of antiquity. Anokhin National Museum of the Altai Republic has a large collection of materials consisting of 747 units of almost all historical periods, transferred to scientists in different years. Among them are several deer stones and ancient Turkic statues, materials from the Bike-I, Ulandryk-I, Jolin-III, Talduair-I, III, Kuyakhtanar, Burata burial grounds. The collections feature weapons and household items, jewelry and clothing items, horse equipment. Many exhibits from the collection of V.D. Kubarevs occupy a worthy place in the exhibition halls of the museum of the Scythian-Saka, Xiongnu--Sarmatian and ancient Turkic times of Altai, were demonstrated at thematic exhibitions. The library of the museum constantly received all the scientific publications of the scientist as a gift. A number of museum employees constantly participated in the scientist’s expeditions and became professional archaeologists. Keywords: Gorny Altai, archaeology, V.D.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The article analyzes the activities of the Penza Church Historical, Archaeological and Statistical Committee for the Preservation of the History and Description of the Daily Life of Cities, Villages and Parishes of the Penza Diocese.As a source for studying this problem, the materials of the «Penza diocesan gazette» (1866-1917) were used, on the pages of which articles and essays of members of the Committee were published.Documents on the organization of the Penza Church Historical, Archaeological and Statistical Committee, as well as numerous publications of its members, have been studied. The reasons for the organization of the Committee, its place and role in the system of historical and archival institutions of the Penza province were investigated; organizational structure and composition; quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results of the activity was carried out; a description of the clergy'perception of parish life in the cities and villages of the Penza diocese, as well as the peculiarities of the class organization of Russian society in the era of modernization, using the example of the peasantry and clergy, was given.The historical, archaeological and statistical committee acted at the Penza Theological Seminary from February 14 (27), 1902 until 1918. This body played a prominent role in shaping public interest in local history and provincial everyday life. The Orthodox clergy was involved in expeditionary research of the provincial "living history," not recorded in historical documents, but transmitted from generation to generation according to oral tradition. The description of the modern state of the parishes was carried out, in modern terms, through the "included observation" of the priests themselves. The activities of the Committee significantly complemented the research results of the Provincial Statistical Committee.The analysis of publications in the Penza diocesan gazette convinces that representatives of the Orthodox clergy, having the initial goal of collecting and summarizing information on the history of the Russian Church in the Penza Territory, describing the history of settlements, churches, monasteries and parishes, discovered crisis bias in the development of the entire Russian society. While describing the daily life of the province, it turned out that the clergy and peasantry underwent unfavorable historical circumstances. The acute shortage of arable land became widespread and everyday phenomena; the insufficient level of development of education and medicine, as well as technical equipment of peasant farms; lack of productive land-cultivation practices, mass poverty, the low crop capacity and recurrent hunger; forced migration in the conditions of "latrine" industries, etc. The consequences of the above phenomena were the extinction of the cultural traditions of the peasant world, the rupture of stable social ties and crisis phenomena in the religious and moral state of society. The clergy fully shared the hardships of the daily life of the peasantry, experiencing a poor financial situation. Essays on the history of villages and parishes, compiled by members of the Committee, were a signal for the deep reform of society.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This article analyses the practice of public presentation of the cultural heritage protection problems in the printed materials of the Ural Society of Devotees of Natural Science (Ekaterinburg) between the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Currently, the civil society structures are actively involved in the system of cultural heritage protection which makes the study of such historical experience relevant. The author comprehensively analyses the materials of Zapiski Uralskogo Obshchestva Lyubitelei Estestvoznaniya (Notes of the Ural Society of Devotees of Natural Science) (40 volumes) related to the discussion of issues of cultural heritage protection, which has never been done previously. The study uses research tools of the historical-anthropological and procedural methods. The article refers to different sources: published office documents of the Society (minutes of meetings, reports), scientific notes and papers, catalogs. The analysis of the sources demonstrates that Zapiski dealt with the problems of preserving all the main categories of cultural heritage (immovable, cultural properties, intangible). The publications pay significant attention to the problems of preserving book rarities and museum collections, disseminating their own and world experience in this area. The regular topics of Zapiski were the discussion of the problems of archaeological objects protection (registration, methods of study), information about excavations, and random archaeological finds. The important topics of the Zapiski were the popularization and actualization of objects of Ural cultural heritage. This was achieved through the publication of catalogs of the society’s collections and reviews of archaeological sites. Zapiski contains a lot of articles about the ethnography of the Ural population (everyday life, traditions, folklore). Nevertheless, the problems of preserving the intangible heritage were raised very rarely. The experience of protection activities was promoted by printed materials on the interaction between the Society and the Imperial Archaeological Commission, the provincial administration, and foreign organizations. The author believes that the materials of the Notes of the Ural Society of Devotees of Natural Science performed an important function of disseminating scientific and practical experience in the protection of cultural heritage, its popularization, and actualization.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The work was created as a consequence of the engagement of the librarians of the University Library in Kragujevac within the framework of the project Auditing and Expert Processing of the Studenica Monastery Library. The article presents the need and proof of the importance of preserving cultural heritage in the case of a successful reconstruction of the Studenica monastery library, as well as the catalog processing of library publications in electronic form. Historical aspects of the creation and development of the monastery libraries and their influence on the literacy and culture of the Serbian people were considered. The possibility of further expansion of engagement on the conservation and digitization of library material would be a great help in working for scientists of philology, historical, archaeological and theological provinces. The reconstructed and modernized library of Studenica monastery became a role model for other monasteries, making the first step towards a different affirmation of these special libraries.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Prior to 2009, South Texas was essentially an archaeological tabula rasa, largely unknown in the academic, public, or grey literature due to its location far from research universities, the state historic preservation office, and cultural resource management firms. Here, we relate how a consortium of anthropologists and archaeologists, biologists, historians, geologists, and geoarchaeologists have embraced a locally focused, place-based STEAM research approach to tell the story of a largely unknown region of the United States and make it accessible to K–17 educators,1 the public, and scholars with bilingual maps, books, exhibits, films, traveling trunks, and scholarly publications. The efforts of the Community Historical Archaeology Project with Schools Program at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley have been recognized locally, nationally, and internationally.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Joseph Anderson (1832–1916) was an influential figure within the history of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and Scottish archaeology during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. But while Anderson is best known for his contribution to the development of Scottish prehistoric and early medieval archaeology, there has been less focus on his role in expanding and studying the Society’s Scottish historical collection. This article considers the ways in which Scottish historical material culture was displayed in the Antiquities Museum and investigated by Anderson from 1869 until 1892, with arrangements in Scotland compared to other national museums in the British Isles and Europe. The Society’s archives and Anderson’s publications have been critically examined within this study to demonstrate that Anderson’s archaeological background influenced his approach to studying historic objects and contributed to his vision of a unified Scottish cultural history contextualised through international comparisons. This article also seeks to show how Anderson was in a privileged position as keeper of the museum for 43 years, allowing him to systematise and apply ideas and methodologies to the Scottish historical collection that had been developing within the Society both prior to and during his keepership.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Kucha was one of the major political powers and cultural centers along the ancient Silk Road, home to a great number of Buddhist cave temples that have survived from the time of their creation sometime between the third century and the eighth. Although they are not as well-known as their counterparts in Dunhuang, the complexes at Kizil and Kumutra, among others, have preserved equally invaluable material evidence of the vibrant interchange of goods, ideas, and cultural practices that took place across the entire region in the first millennium. These sites represent the crucial link with the artistic traditions of Gandhara, India, and Persia in explicating the Chinese adaptation of a complex, foreign visual culture through the introduction of Buddhism. This essay reviews a number of significant publications on the art and archaeology of Kucha that have appeared in the past decade. Marking one of the notable trends in Asian studies today, the remarkable growth in Kucha scholarship has been facilitated in one way or another by the opening of China's Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region to the outside world. The review focuses on the compilations of source materials, reception and collection histories, and interpretative studies of source materials, examining each of these three areas within their proper historical and historiographical contexts. An extensive review of Archaeological and Visual Sources of Meditation in the Ancient Monasteries of Kuča (2015) by Angela F. Howard and Giuseppe Vignato appears in the last section of the essay.

Texte intégralRésumé :
В данной статье предлагаются возможные отождествления и уточнения характеристик археологических памятников Хорезма, обнаруженных в середине 50-х гг. прошлого века в процессе работ археолого-топографического отряда Хорезмской археолого-этнографической экспедиции (ХАЭЭ) под руководством Б. В. Андрианова, который производил разведку обширных территорий в низовьях Амударьи и Сырдарьи. Основным объектом исследований были искусственные ирригационные сооружения. Попутно обследовались и наносились на карту и другие археологические объекты. В публикациях каждому маршруту в определенной местности присваивался номер поиска, а объекту, обнаруженному и зафиксированному на местности в ходе поиска (точка по Б. В. Андрианову), присваивался определенный номер. При этом положение каждой точки поиска было зафиксировано относительно других, точно таких же, точек без использования системы географических координат и в ряде случаев даже без планов местности. В наше время исследователи проводят анализ антропогенного ландшафта на определенных участках территории, соотнося более точную современную информацию с прежними данными, которые имеют приблизительный характер в силу того, что они были получены менее совершенными методами. Это делает сложным поиск и отождествление обнаруженных топографическим отрядом объектов даже в том случае, если они сохранились до наших дней. Для решения данной проблемы мы дополнили информацию отряда ХАЭЭ спутниковыми снимками 1970-х гг., на которых сохранились многие из обнаруженных им объектов. Ориентируясь на расширенные данные, была проведена наземная разведка памятников, в результате чего по ним была получена наиболее точная информация, пригодная для использования для создания ГИС региона. The paper proposes possible identifications and clarifications of Khorezm archaeological sites discovered in the mid-1950s by the archaeological and topographic party of the Khorezm archaeological and ethnographic expedition (KhAEE) led by B. V. Andrianov in the Lower Amudarya and the Lower Syrdarya region. Artificial irrigation systems were the main object of the research. Other archaeological sites were surveyed and mapped as well. In the publications each itinerary in a specific location was assigned a search number, whereas all objects or features discovered in a location and recorded during the search (the so called search points according to B. V. Andrianov) were given a specific number. The location of each search point was documented relative to other similar points without using the system of geographical coordinates and, in some cases, even without topographic plans. Today analysis of anthropogenic landscape in specific localities is conducted with correlation of more precise modern information with earlier data that are approximate. It complicates search and identification of objects discovered by the topographic party even in the case these objects have survived. To solve this problem, the data collected by the KhAEE team were complemented with satellite images made in the 1970s that demonstrate many objects discovered by B. V. Andrianov. Focusing on these extended data, surface reconnaissance of the sites was carried out and more accurate information suitable for preparing the GIS of the region was obtained.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This essay forms a case study of the transnational dimensions of Afghanistan's modern intellectual history through a focus on the practice of history. It traces the development of Afghan historical writing between around 1880 and 1940, with an emphasis on the revolutionary historiographical transformations of the 1930s. Prior to this decade, Afghan historians broadly continued the dynastic and genealogical traditions of the Persianate tarikh (‘chronicle’). After discussing several such texts, the focus turns to the new intellectuals associated with the Kabul Literary Society (Anjuman-i Adabi-yi Kabul) in its role as a crossroads for the importation and adaptation of European intellectual disciplines. Drawing on Anglophone and Francophone scholarship in their Dari-Persian publications, the Society's historians forged radically new conceptions of collective identity by adapting European linguistic and archaeological methods. An examination of the writings of two such historians, Ya‘qub Hasan Khan and Ahmad ‘Ali Kuhzad, documents the subsequent rise of the new historical ideology of Aryanism by which Afghanistan and its peoples were linked to the ancient Aryans and their homeland of Bactria qua Aryana.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The article deals with the sources concerning the history of the research into the cave complexes of the Kyiv-Pechersk monastery in the 1930 s – various materials created and/or made public at the time when the sacral complex system of interconnected underground passages and cave buildings was turned into the structure of the State Historical and Cultural Preserve «All-Ukrainian Museum Towns» and began to use it to demonstrate the inadmissibility of Christianity and to provide atheism propaganda. It is indicated that evidence of the «new research life» of the Lavra monastery underground complexes in the 1930s was partly archeographically published in the publications prepared by the National Preserve «Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra» research fellows. In the collection of unorganized, unrepresented in publications of recent decades and, for the most part, archival and museum sources on the history of the study of St Antony’s (Near) & St Theodosy’s (Far) Caves of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra during the 1930s, three groups are distinguished: articles and reports in the press and periodicals of that time; various archival documentary materials (papers, reports, correspondence); photographs that recorded the research process. For the first time, photos, reproduced from glass negatives, from the National Preserve «Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra» collection are introduced into scientific use. It is noted that the informational potential of the sources is not exhausted. The considered materials make it possible to verify the history of various directions, including archaeological, research into the Lavra underground labyrinths, clarification of the participants, analysis, evaluation of the results, etc. Key words: source study, St Antony’s (Near) Caves of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, St Theodosy’s (Far) Caves of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, archaeological research, Kyiv, 1930 s.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This article presents an analysis of the historical role of Nestorian Christianity in China. Also, it considers new archaeological and epigraphic materials from the Nestorian burial grounds of the Yuan dynasty (the territory of the modern Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region). Despite some interest in spreading the teachings of the “Syrian Church” in Central and East Asia (the most famous example is the famous book “In Search of a Fictional Kingdom” by L. N. Gumilev) Russian science lacks publications related to the tangible Nestorians heritage located in the territory of modern China during its heyday (the Tang and Yuan dynasties). This paper is partially dedicated to partially filling this gap introducing brief data on the Wangmulian, Aolunsumu and Muhuerso-Buerga burial grounds. In addition, the authors paid attention to the interesting set of terms that the Chinese used in relation to the new religion.
