New book chronicle.

New book chronicle. As recent chronicles have concentrated on sites, landscapes,specific regions or issues, artefacts have so far received littleattention here.

Let us start with a dose of theory, with Marcel Mauss'writings on Techniques, Technology and Civilisation. Collected by NATHANSCHLANGER who contributes an illuminating introductory essay, as wellas, with others, translations of Mauss's ideas, this book is anexcellent start to a new series, the 'Histories ofArchaeology', published by Berghahn Books. As many of us are guiltyof spouting spout��ing?n. Chiefly Pennsylvania & New JerseySee gutter.

Whereby a group of 15 young Israelis, who have Austrian family roots, are invited to Austria and together with 15 young local Austrians do research about their .

Well, Mauss, Durkheim's nephew and pupil (biography on p.160), wrote mainly in the 1920s and 1930s, and his best-known text,'Techniques of the Body' came out in 1935 when Bourdieu wasfive years old. We encounter the habitus on p. 80, after considerationson running and walking: 'Hence I have had this notion of the socialnature of the habitus for many years. The word translates infinitelybetter than 'habitude' (habits or custom) ... These habits ...vary especially between societies, educations, proprieties and fashions,prestige. In them we should see the techniques and work of collectiveand individual practical reason rather than, in the ordinary way, merelythe soul and its repetitive faculties'. But Schlanger notes (p. 19)that this is 'a philosophical concept revived by Mauss' (myemphasis) 'and subsequently developed by the sociologist PierreBourdieu'. There is much else besides in this collection:Mauss' views on Bergson, the rescuing of technique and technologyfrom Durkheim, or the notion of 'l'homme total'. Byputting Mauss' texts, some not much more than loose lecture notesof, it has to be said, uneven quality, between two hard covers, andproviding context, including a set of contemporary photographs of NativeAustralians from the Cambridge Haddon collection, Schlanger has done usa good turn. So, objects, the result of techniques and vice versa, are imbuedwith social meaning. Some would say they have a social life. Objects,CRHRIS CAPLE's contribution and the most wide-ranging of the octet An eight-bit storage unit. In the international community, octet is often used instead of byte. (jargon, networking) octet - Eight bits. This term is used in networking, in preference to byte, because some systems use the term "byte" for things that are not 8 bits long. ,bridges neatly the gap between theoretical thinking and technology. Thiscomprehensive introduction teaches us to read objects, these ReluctantWitnesses to the Past, using a combination of explanation, presentationof scientific investigative techniques and case studies. Precise,well-organised, using bullet points, Caple's manual answers in sixchapters the questions we can ask of objects (who, how, where, why,when?). It is full of detail and extremely useful; not only does itexplain in simple terms how techniques such as ICPS See IXS. (induction-coupledplasma spectrometry) work, but it then follows through with richlydocumented case histories, such as an Anglo-Saxon pendant from MiltonKeynes, the Coppergate helmet, the Bayeux tapestry, the Winchesterreliquary reliquary(rĕl'əkwĕr`ē), receptacle containing the relics of saints and other sacred objects of the Christian religion. Reliquaries were often designed in shapes that reflected the nature of their contents, such as hands, shoes, , the Durham cathedral doors or a fake Chinese Han dynastymirror in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, amongst others. One regretis that most examples are British and medieval, and that relatively fewcome from good or complex archaeological contexts. Nevertheless, theprocedures have wide applications. I would certainly recommend thisbook; not only to students but to anyone interested in how rich objectbiographies are constructed. Reconstruction could be the next step. This is what the Society forExperimental Archaeology Hradec Kralove (Czech Republic) and EXARC, theEuropean network of Open Air Museums, are engaged in. Their journal,EuroREA: (Re)construction and Experiment in Archaeology--EuropeanPlatform reports, in its second volume, on a number of experiments,including the fulling of cloth in The Netherlands or producing Neolithicwinged beads in Switzerland. This is a truly European forum: volume 2has contributions from the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania,Latvia, Denmark, The Netherlands, Germany Switzerland, France and theUnited Kingdom. Though still a bit 'folksy'--there are plentyof pictures of people in loose scratchy clothes, and the odd (extremelylong) loin cloth (on p. 73)--the journal contains a number of reflexivepapers on the direction of experimental archaeology and its, sometimesawkward, relationship with presentation and reconstruction. Further,advice on conducting experiments rigorously and on publishing theirresults show that EuroREA wants to be taken seriously. We look forwardto more insights into material culture from this new journal. How is this material culture analysed, interpreted, reported? Threestudies of materials, all from the Americas, feature here as examples ofdifferent styles. Gender and Hide Production is an edited collection that firstappeared in 2005. It aims to rescue women from the 'Drudge on theHide' and does so with a vengeance. Kevin P. Gilmore sets the tonein Chapter 2: 'This chapter has a protagonist. She possessed anumber of skills and was highly proficient in the tasks that sheperformed. These tasks were of great importance to the people who reliedon her, and the tasks had great meaning to her, ensuring her and herfamily the respect of everyone in her band. We do not know her name, butwe do know that she lived sometime in the eleventh or twelfth centuryAD.... And we know that she made a moccasin moccasin, in footwearmoccasin,skin shoe worn by indigenous people of North America, excepting the sandal wearers of the Southwest area. There were two general types of moccasins, the hard-soled, which was used in the Eastern woodlands and the Southeast to replace the one she leftbehind at Franktown Cave' (p. 13). Pass the sick bag, and allow mea short rant. The book's argument goes something like this: a solidbody of ethnographic observations and historic records show that amongstthe Plains Indians it was the task of the women to prepare hides, hencethe 'Drudge on the Hide', projected back into prehistory: itis 'the quintessential work of women in many kinds of depiction ofprehistoric life' (p. xv). A number of things apparently follow: itis highly likely that tools used in hide production were also made bywomen (p. 23: 'the predominance of local toolstones suggests thatthese scrapers were made by women'; what sort of evidence isthat?). Further, as hides were essential to the economy of the group, totrade and to prestige, women played a crucial role; they were notdowntrodden creatures engaged in 'unimportant, repetitive,unskilled domestic tasks' (p. 198). The contributors then set outto counter this image with case studies from Plains communities, bothprehistoric and ethnographic, and from Canada, Alaska, South Africa andEthiopia. But who is arguing? Why portray prehistoric women as a bunchof Stepford wives, why set up Aunt Sallys only to shoot them down in ahail of feminist friendly fire? Indeed 'it is all too easy fortwenty-first century well-educated middle class persons of Europeandescent to view Plains Indian marriage ... as oppressive to women'(p. 87). So, stop wasting time in pointless protestations. Rant aside,there is a serious point to be made: engendering archaeology must not bean exercise in wishful thinking, it must not be allowed to turn into acircular argument: 'What we want to avoid is correlating an assumedrelationship between gender and a particular tool type with the presenceor absence of people of that gender at an archaeological site'(Laura L. Scheiber, p. 60, in a balanced contribution on bison hides).Gender attributions cannot be based, especially if you are 'acutelyaware of the limitations' (Judith A. Habicht-Mauche, p. 54), on'unsystematic surface collections' (eadem, p. 44). Preciselybecause the ethnohistoric record is copious, it must be interrogated toidentify the signature of women's activities in the archaeologicalrecord. But that is extremely hard to do, though in rare cases it mightbe possible; an example from Alaska shows musculoskeletal musculoskeletal/mus��cu��lo��skel��e��tal/ (-skel��e-t'l) pertaining to or comprising the skeleton and muscles. mus��cu��lo��skel��e��taladj.Relating to or involving the muscles and the skeleton. markers onsexed skeletons, indicating that Golovin Bay women chewed skins tosoften hides (Susan L. Steen, p. 124-30). It would be unfair to end thisreview without giving the contributors to Gender and Hide Productionsome credit for awareness of the problem: in her summing up Suzanne M.Spencer-Wood concedes euphemistically that 'interpretations areunderdetermined by data' (p. 210). That is the problem. We return to habitus in The Social Life of Pots, the proceedings ofa symposium of the Society for American Archaeology The Society for American Archaeology (SAA) is the largest organization of professional archaeologists of the Americas in the world. The Society was founded in 1934 and today has over 7000 members. in Denver, Colorado,in 2002, convened 'to examine not only how specific technologiesare structured by, but also structure, their specific cultural andsocial milieu' (p. 11). The subject matter is the painted andglazed pottery of late Pueblo communities, a class of artefact See artifact. that hasbenefited from much new analysis, including petrographic pe��trog��ra��phy?n.The description and classification of rocks.pe��trogra��pher n. analysis, EPMS EPMS Employee Performance Management SystemEPMS Enlisted Personnel Management SystemEPMS Enterprise Project Management SystemEPMS Electrical Power Management SystemEPMS Electronic Publishing Management SystemEPMS East Paulding Middle School (electron probe microanalysis) or ICPS, as well as from more traditionalstudies of fabric, form and style, since Kidder and Shepard realised inthe 1930s that much of the ceramic of Pueblo settlements was nothome-made, implying extensive networks of exchange (summary by Cordell,p. 257 ff.). The volume under review has its longueurs: 'whileglaze ware pots tended to circulate within networks of interaction thattended to reinforce local community and ethnolinguistic identities,specialized raw materials such as lead ore moved through systems ofinteraction that linked individuals and communities on a larger regionaland interregional scale' (Nelson & Habicht-Mauche, p. 201)seems a tortuous way to say that people needed to go further afield toprocure appropriate materials. Altogether, this book is a thoroughappraisal, more deeply rooted in data than Gender and Hides. Aninteresting paper (chapter 6, by Huntley) caught my eye: it analyses thebrushstroke sequence on painted pots, as decoration betrays'graphic behaviour'. This work leads to the concept of'communities of practice', a concept taken up by many othercontributors, and the hallmark of the book. Obsidian Craft Production in Ancient Central Mexico is a detailedreport by a single author, KENNETH G. HIRTH. It deals with the obsidianprismatic blade industry, the whole chaine operatoire, that waspracticed at Xochicalco in central Mexico in the Epiclassic period (AD650-900), after the decline of Teotihuacan, at a time of emergingcity-states. This well-structured study takes us, in 13 chapters, fromthe site itself to the wider economy of prehistoric Mesoamerica. Itconcentrates on the data from five excavated workshop areas, four indomestic quarters and one in an open public plaza. The examination ofcores, core rejuvenation flakes, blades and other artefacts (chapters2-4) is followed by an assessment of the sources of obsidian, itsprocurement and organisation (chapter 5), the spatial analysis of thefour domestic workshops and plaza context (chapters 6-7) and aquantification of their output (chapter 8). We then move on to use-wearanalysis, to the function of tools, weapons and large bifaces, and thedegree of specialisation in production (chapters 9-11), before beingpresented with a local model and its place in the economy of centralMexico (chapters 12-13). Every aspect of production appears meticulouslyand cogently argued, and the conclusions are far-reaching: the coresarrived on site with blades already removed, but there was no shortagein supply; large bifaces and other lithic lith��ic?1?adj.Consisting of or relating to stone or rock.Adj. 1. lithic - of or containing lithium2. lithic - relating to or composed of stone; "lithic sandstone" artefacts were obtaineddifferently, with Xochicalco craftsmen acting as intermediaries (p.113); the sources of obsidian were located 150-200km away and thematerial came via itinerant craftsmen (p. 134-5); production was athousehold level, perhaps occupying 3-5 people per household,intermittently; in the plaza workshop, specialist market sellers wereestablished, possibly 8-9 craftsmen (p. 201); the domestic output ofblades is estimated at 500-1000 (p. 216), many intended for exchange ina market place economy (p. 240); the elite acquired its specialartefacts through tribute or on the market (p. 257); all aspects ofobsidian production were carried out by the same individual craftsman,probably not full time (p. 273) and not organised into guilds; andfinally the monopoly of Teotihuacan is challenged, in a model thatinvolves domestic modes of production (p. 289 ft.). Though highlyimpressive this report leaves a nagging question: can we really say thatmuch, in that much detail? More generally, and this is not a criticismof Xochicalco: how can we be certain that our excavations, stratigraphy,recovery levels, sampling template and statistical methods are up toscratch? We end with a couple of volumes that trace the fate of objects,once in the public and private domain, sometimes leading a secret life.That life does not necessarily end in a museum. The outcome of a seminar series and workshop held in Oxford in2004, ROBSON, TREADWELL & GOSDEN's edited book investigates WhoOwns Objects? This initiative brings together different perspectives:from archaeologists, collectors, traders, museum curators, and those whotry to make the legislation work. Though this is a simplification, thedifferent camps remain largely entrenched, either side of a line thatdivides those who see objects primarily as elements of a widercontext--mostly archaeologists, sometimes accused of hating objects(Boardman, p. 38)--from those who value objects for their intrinsic,artistic merit, the collectors, the dealers, at times the museums. Thus,Nell Brodie (representing the Renfrew 'camp') offers apessimistic assessment of the world of traded antiquities, while Ortizand Boardman take a dim view of archaeologists, urging them, with somejustification, to put their own house in order. In between thesepositions are recounted the experiences of dealers (Kampmann, Ede,commented on by Mayhew), and museum curators (Roberts, Gaimster,O'Neill, the latter offering a fascinating account of the return ofa Native American Ghost Dance shirt, captured at Wounded Knee in 1890,kept in Glasgow Museum for a century, and given back to the Lakotapeople in 1999). There are glimpses of progress, like the creation ofCulture Banks in Mali which allows local people to use cultural items tosecure loans from the World Bank (p. xv) or the British PortableAntiquities scheme, and valiant efforts are made by museums andreputable traders to exercise 'due diligence' by formulatingclear protocols. But 'there is no easy answer', the editorswarn. International Law, Museums and the Return of Cultural Objects isimpressive. Thoroughly referenced, with tables of cases and instruments(the law) and a chronological chart of treaties, containing a forest offootnotes and a veritable smorgasbord of acronyms, this book isnevertheless written with exemplary clarity, keeping the reader'sattention. The book is structured in three parts that follow a sequencefrom 1815 to the present and which focus on Britain in the nineteenthcentury, the USA in the twentieth century and Australia in recent times;in each case a museum--the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, theMuseum of Modern Art in New York and the Australian Museum in Sydney--isused to illustrate evolving trends. The subject is also treated underthree headings which examine three principles: the 'sacred'link between peoples, places and their material culture; the desire toredeem past wrongs; and the part restitution plays in the affirmation ofidentity. This structure hides a wealth of information and givestime-depth to an argument that some might think quite recent: thepost-Napoleonic Congress of Vienna The Congress of Vienna was a conference between ambassadors from the major powers in Europe that was chaired by the Austrian statesman Klemens Wenzel von Metternich and held in Vienna, Austria, from late September, 1814, to June 9, 1815. (1815) was already debating therights and wrongs of restitution. I particularly liked the judicious useof quotes, my favourite being 'I do not know anything aboutnational feeling; I am a keeper of British antiquities' (C.H. Read,1899, quoted on p. 73, in a case involving Irish ornaments in theBritish Museum, discussed on p. 88-92). Of course, the book has anagenda, the promotion of indigenous peoples' right toself-determination, but it is put forward soberly and convincingly.Indigenous people have in ANA FILIPA VRDOLJAK a strong advocate and herbook deserves a wide Western readership. This foray into the recent literature of objects testifies to alively scene: objects are social constructs, 'reluctantwitnesses' that can nevertheless be coaxed or bludgeoned intodisclosing their economic role, their social life, their gender.Analysed, reconstructed, acquired, traded, loved, protected, theseobjects speak volumes. Pictland We end this chronicle with short notices of four books on Pictland:two deal with the remarkable art of the Picts and two are about whatmight have been or may yet be discovered.

No listing of recent books on the Picts could start withoutsaluting the publication, two years ago, of The Art of the Picts, asumptuous work of scholarship by GEORGE and ISABEL HENDERSON, handsomelyproduced in black and white by Thames & Hudson. This study of thesculpture and metalwork (chapter 4) of the Picts in north-easternScotland in the early Middle Ages inscribes itself in the wider world ofInsular art and probes into meaning, programmes, form and function. Thisbook provides a rich context, a counterpoint to, in the Hendersons'view, the sparse presentation of Pictish sculpture in the NationalMuseum of Scotland The Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland, is a building which, together with the adjacent Royal Museum, comprises the National Museum of Scotland. It is dedicated to the history, people and culture of Scotland. The museum is on Chambers Street, in central Edinburgh. in Edinburgh (p. 226). It deserves an in-depth reviewfrom a specialist in early medieval sculpture. Suffice to say here thatit is a new landmark in Pictish studies, a century after Allen &Anderson's survey of 1903. 2003 marked the centenary of Allen & Anderson's EarlyChristian Monuments of Scotland (or ECMS ECMS Electronic Copyright Management SystemsECMS Enterprise Content Management SolutionECMS Extended Change Management SystemECMS Electronic Client Management SystemECMS Enhanced Crisis Management SystemECMS Environmental Corrosion Monitoring System ) and a seminar was held inEdinburgh to mark the occasion. Able Minds and Practised Hands (thetitle is taken from a Rhind lecture by Anderson in 1880 to'encapsulate what is significant about our inheritance of earlymedieval sculpture', as one of the editors, FOSTER, notes) aims notonly to discuss the sculptures themselves, but their context, theirpost-use fate, their meaning to local communities, their conservation,display and recording. The seminar brought together 30 scholars, writing26 chapters ranging from Iona to Portmahomack and from decipheringinscriptions to erecting glass boxes around the great cross slabs; itended with a call for a new corpus, a new ECMS for the twenty-firstcentury. 'The royal centre at Forteviot is poorly recorded indocumentary sources and its surviving remains await archaeologicalinvestigation' (p. 83). NICK AITCHISON surveys the availableevidence in Part 1 of Forteviot: a Pictish and Scottish Royal Centre, a'palace' site of the ninth century AD in lower Strathearn thathas been much eroded by the movement of the Water of May, a tributary tothe River Earn in Perthshire. Part 2 describes, analyses and interpretsthe iconography of the Forteviot arch, probably the chancel arch of alost church, and sets this remarkable sculpture, found in the Water ofMay in the 1820s, in the context of a basilican church. After thetwelfth century, as Scone Scone(skn), village, Perth and Kinross, central Scotland. Old Scone, west of the modern village of New Scone, was the repository of the Coronation Stone (see under coronation) and the thrived, Forteviot declined, to fade from alandscape that may yet reveal more. Sueno's Stone, one of the great Pictish cross slabs, stands inMoray, the home of IAN KEILLAR who, together with the late Barri Jones,has worked tirelessly to put Moray on the map of Roman Britain,assembling over the past four decades the evidence for the Romanpresence on these confines of the empire. This is proving to be arecalcitrant subject, and Keillar is well aware of it, classifying hismaterial into the possible, the probable and the (almost) certain.Romans in Moray details the historic evidence in its first half, thesecond half deals with the archaeology. 'If we ever are to solvethe mystery of the Romans in the north, it will be necessary tospeculate, but with caution' (p. 57). Keillar's is an honestaccount of an area that may still spring some surprises. Books received The list includes all books received between 1 June and 1 September2006. Those featuring at the beginning of New Book Chronicle have,however, not been duplicated in this list. The listing of a book in thischronicle does not preclude its subsequent review in Antiquity.
