Books with 'Memory' in their titles are proliferatingand, on receipt, are likely to provoke a Violet Elizabeth Bott bott?n.Variant of bot1. reactionfrom this reviews editor (for non-English or younger readers this is thelisping girl in the Just William schoolboy book series who will'scweam and scweam and scweam until I'm thick'). Why?Because the 'memory' tag appears attached to just aboutanything. Nevertheless, there are many enlightening studies in thebundle under review here, and, as we shall see, a great deal of commonground. Let us start with the best-written first. LAURENT OLIVIER'S isa fine book, the sort that gets discussed on high-brow radio--and ithas, on France Culture. Le sombre abime du temps (from a phrase by theeighteenth-century naturalist Buffon) is, I suspect, intended to reach areadership other than archaeologists, though it should be on thelatter's bookshelves too. It is a worthy addition to the Couleurdes idees series published by Seuil: a captivating essay seeking toexplain what archaeology is, what it does and what it does not do.Olivier insists that the past cannot be recreated, as it is constantlytransformed by its afterlife into the present. This position may not benew, at least to archaeologists, but it is worth paying attention to.Olivier is searching for a new way to read the past; somewhere betweenthe stances adopted by Kristiansen (the stuff of the past) and Holtorf(the past in the present) in a recent Antiquity debate (vol. 82, June2008: 488-92; both protagonists are in fact far more sophisticated thantheir polarised views let on). Olivier's argument is thatarchaeologists, his 'rag-and-bone men of the past' are'those who bring back the vanished past, who make it reappear inthe present and who, in so doing, change history by making the pasthappen' (en faisant advenir le passe pas��s��?adj.1. No longer current or in fashion; out-of-date.2. Past the prime; faded or aged.[French, past participle of passer, to pass, from Old French; see ) (my translation, p. 97). Thefirst part of this sentence puts forward the conventional view thatarchaeology brings the past back, but it is the second part thatmatters: faire advertir le passe, which implicitly contains the notionof transformation. This is precisely what Olivier conceives the role ofarchaeology to be: an understanding, with its own grammar, of thetrajectory of the past into the present. Consequently there is no'Once upon the time there was ... (il etait une fois ...)',only 'Once upon a time there has been ... (il a ete une fois...)'--hence the past composite of this chronicle's title. To my mind, this reveals the contradictory forces inherent inarchaeological pursuits. An example will clarify: Olivier, who isconservator conservatorn. a guardian and protector appointed by a judge to protect and manage the financial affairs and/or the person's daily life due to physical or mental limitations or old age. of Iron Age archaeology at the Musee des Antiquitesnationales at St Germain-en-Laye but has much interest in thearchaeology of the recent past, uses a case study to make his point. ABritish Lancaster bomber was shot down over Fleville in Lorraine in 1945and excavated in 1997 by Jean-Pierre Legendre. The excavator was able topresent his findings to one of the survivors of the crash, VictorCassapi. Olivier makes much of Vic's emotion and sense of'closure', of archaeology's ability to put the past torest: 'because it now has again a material place in the present,the past, held in suspense up to now, is finally allowed to have takenplace and appease the present' (p. 97, my translation). Yet Olivierhas just spent a good part of the book explaining that archaeologistscannot recreate the past and then gives us an example that includes arecreation of the last moments of the bomber. Even if we accept thatarchaeologists are just telling stories filtered by the passage of time,so much intellectual ingenuity goes into integrating increasinglycomplex data and telling audiences what it may have been like--to witthe explosion in computer-generated imagery for this purpose. Arearchaeologists' ratiocinations about the place of the past not justsophistry soph��is��try?n. pl. soph��is��tries1. Plausible but fallacious argumentation.2. A plausible but misleading or fallacious argument.sophistryNoun1. ? Read this book to judge, even if you are only half fluent inFrench. It contains far more than I can present here. Some of it will befamiliar to English-reading archaeologists (Millie's Camp is there,as are site formation processes, Schiffer, Hodder and others), but soare wide-ranging readings from philosophy (Walter Benjamin inparticular), psychoanalysis, art history or literature. It also featuresmore personal passages: the book starts with a dream or nightmaresequence and an extensive description of boxes of trinkets, some loadedwith meaning and others not, left to the author by his recently deceasedmother. Above all the reason why you should read this book is that it iswell written; Olivier is actually interested in his reader.

Characterized by words having more than three syllables. soup that Anglo-American academics serve up. This book is abook I would be pleased to give to my non-archaeologist friends. ANDREW JONES's Memory and material culture is also concernedwith objects as survivors of the past in the present. This book comes intwo parts, a theoretical part (chapters 1-4) which introduces differentorders of reading material culture, addresses questions of comprehendingtime and proposes the concept of 'indices' and'citation' as useful tools when attempting to understandmemory's function in material culture (p. 80 ff.). The second part(chapters 5-9) uses a number of case studies to illuminate thesetheoretical approaches, taken mainly from Neolithic and Early Bronze AgeScotland, Ireland and central-western Europe (for the LBK LBK Lubbock (Texas)LBK Linearbandkeramik (European Archaeological Culture)LBK Landing Barge, Kitchen (US Navy)LBK Lutherske BekjennelseskirkeLBK Location-Based Key study).Beakers feature prominently (there it becomes easier to understand whatis meant by 'citation'). The latter part of the book concernsforms of graphic communication in the decorative motifs found on IberianChalcolithic stone plaques, on Irish passage tombs and in rock art inScandinavia and Kilmartin in Scotland. This is not the easiest of booksto understand but the author helps his reader along by providingnumerous examples to explain his points and obligingly begins each newchapter with a summing up of what went on before. We move on to more familiar territory, Negotiating the past in thepast or identity, memory, and landscape in archaeological research, acollection of 10 chapters edited by NORMAN YOFFEE. It showcases the workof 7 research students from the University of Michigan (body, education) University of Michigan - A large cosmopolitan university in the Midwest USA. Over 50000 students are enrolled at the University of Michigan's three campuses. The students come from 50 states and over 100 foreign countries. , complemented bya useful introduction (Yoffee) and two concluding commentaries. This isa good collection. Although identity, memory, and landscape (shortenedto IML See Simputer. IML - Initial Microprogram Load in the book) may have become a tired concept, there is nothingtired in the work here. What is new is that young researchers are notafraid to tackle the subject in areas of the ancient world which benefitfrom epigraphic ep��i��graph?n.1. An inscription, as on a statue or building.2. A motto or quotation, as at the beginning of a literary composition, setting forth a theme. or historical texts. Thus the studies deal with Akkadianand Elamite Mesopotamia, Roman collecting, Urartian and HellenisticArmenia, the post-depositional treatment of the dead in Mycenae, thepositioning of a Roman temple on Athens' Acropolis, architecture inthe eighth century BC Napatan (Nubian) landscape, early medieval templesin India and finally the use of space in two urban centres in QuintanaRoo on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. Lynn Meskell's and JackDavis's summing up make for a well-rounded work, ending withDavis's 'partial agenda for archaeologies of memory' (pp.250-3). It echoes much of Susan Alcock's thinking: if memorystudies are to be more than a bandwagon, more rigour and more criticalapproaches must be adopted, and the relationship between memory studiesand archaeological field procedure needs to be addressed. Selective remembrances edited by KOHL, KOZELSKY & BEN-YEHUDA isa fascinating collection, with an excellent introduction by Philip Kohl.It examines the manipulation of the past to suit nationalistic agendasin four areas of the world: Russia and Eastern Europe (4 chapters), theNear East (3 chapters), Israel/ Palestine (4 chapters) and S/SE Asia (2chapters). The accounts from Romania, Azerbaijan, Dagestan (with abrazen case of forgery), the Crimea (where the Russian Orthodox Churchseems to have stepped into the void left by the former Soviet system)and Ukraine are at times hair-raising. Things don't lighten up asone moves further east, with critical assessments of Masada and theagenda of the Israeli tourist industry. A fine paper by GhadaZiadeh-Seely charts the vicissitudes of the fledgling archaeology of theoccupied territories of Palestine, stopped in its tracks by the murderof its founding member Albert Glock and the first and second intifadas.She concludes (pp. 342-3) by warning against a new Palestiniannationalism which, by following the same path as the Israeli path shedeplores, would harm academic enquiry. Not all the contributions to thebook are negative, but on the whole the 13 case studies document casesof abuse. Recurring themes are conformity, an obsession with modernethnic identity and bigotry. Kohl stresses that by treating nationalismas a secular phenomenon, the role of religious nationalism may have beenunderestimated. He concludes on a note of hope, stressing what seems soobvious but still needs doing: archaeologists have an essential role toplay, 'namely to demonstrate the continuous intercourse betweencultures and peoples and the diffusion of ideas and technologies fromone culture and people to another throughout prehistoric times and toinsist that no single group was responsible for the constantly growingand shared history of cultural development' (p. 24). The role of memory repeatedly crops up in Cultural heritage inpostwar recovery, the proceedings of an ICCROM forum held in Rome inOctober 2005. This enlightening collection of 12 papers edited byNICHOLAS STANLEY-PRICE brings together the experiences from many zonesof recent (or ongoing) armed conflict, notably in the republics thatonce formed Yugoslavia, plus Germany, Cyprus, Palestine, Laos, Mexico,Sri Lanka, West Africa and El Salvador. The 13 contributors describe theinitiatives taken in these hotspots and emphasise that 'culturecan't wait', is part and parcel of the reconstruction andreconciliation process. This does not mean that culture, and memory withit, has stood still: it is irremediably ir��re��me��di��a��ble?adj.Impossible to remedy, correct, or repair; incurable or irreparable: irremediable errors in judgment.ir different after conflict,adapted (there are good examples here from the Hmong diaspora outsideLaos, or from Chiapas in Mexico, where a certain homogenization homogenization(həmŏj'ənəzā`shən), process in which a mixture is made uniform throughout. Generally this procedure involves reducing the size of the particles of one component of the mixture and dispersing them evenly of Mayandiversity is taking place). This book is gripping, with clear exposesand many excellent colour photographs. The tone is generally positive,not surprisingly since that is ICCROM's brief. Curiously, toreaders used to watching scenes of devastation on television newsbulletins, the photographs look incongruously 'clean': eventhe images of the destruction of Nablus (Figures 35 & 39) don'tconvey the sense of desolation such events must have brought intopeople's lives. The contributors, all experts in their field, areat pains to point out what can be done. This is particularly wellformulated by Sultan Barakat, but also by Suad Amiry and Khaldun Bshra(Ramallah) or by Boureima Tiekoroni Diamitini (West Africa). Even themost pessimistic accounts, for example that of Jon Calame on citiesdivided by walls, point to a few glimmers of hope. The overarchingimpression given by memory in all of this is that it is at onceresilient, fluid and malleable. Destruction was what befell Alexander's library (theBibliotheca Alexandrina) sometime during the first millennium CE.BEVERLEY BUTLER'S Return to Alexandria is a fine-grained analysisof what happens when the 30-year dream (costing $220 million) ofreviving a beacon of universal learning becomes a reality. The brand newBibliotheca Alexandrina, comprising museums, libraries, a planetariumand a conference centre, opened its doors in 2002. In football parlance,Butler's book is a game of two halves: the first (theoretical) partI found excruciating, the second (ethnographic) captivating. This is notjust the reaction of a theoretically uninformed reader; I am as willingas any to understand what Latour, Eliade or Derrida bring to engagementwith the past. No, it is just that the first 95 pages of the book arealmost impossible to read. The prose is impenetrable and portentous, themetaphors strained to breaking point, and there are enough referencesand inverted commas to inebriate an entire RAE review panel. Even thecaptions to illustrations, e.g. Materialisation of Technological Object(accompanying a shot of the building of the roof of the new library) areHugely Irritating. Everything is referenced, everything is a metaphor:the UNESCO UNESCO:see United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. UNESCOin full United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization committee concerned with the Alexandrina Project is alwaysthe Ritual Chorus, the professor of Greco-Roman Studies at AlexandriaUniversity Mostafa El Abbadi who first gave impetus to the idea is theGatekeeper; even his cat (Cleopatra) and office furniture are imbuedwith several layers of meaning. The interested reader is completelyalienated by a book seemingly written for a select band of academics andI suspect even they will find the exercise tiring. Having got this offmy chest, I have to recognise that Return to Alexandria is an ambitiousstudy, by a clever and extremely well-read nmseologist whom NealAscherson hails as a worthy successor to no less than Edward Said. So,what is the book about? It is about the agendas, aspirations andexpectations of the Alexandrina Project and its web of allegiances,Western and Eastern, Mediterranean and African. It is about the impactthis huge project had on the citizens of Alexandria, Egypt and the widerworld when the project came into being in the late 1990s. Forarchaeologists, there are insightful comments in chapter 5 on there-awakening to Alexandria's archaeology, underwater and on theground (including the perfunctory evaluation of the archaeologicaldeposits under the new library: see pp. 171-3). Finally, when theLibrary opened its doors, there was yet another shift in perception, arealignment of perspectives, if I have understood it correctly, awayfrom cosmopolitanism. We return to Britain and calmer, even dead calm waters, with PETERSHERLOCK'S Monuments and memory in Early Modern England. This book,stemming from an Oxford DPhil dissertation, examines the funerarymonuments or memorials to the great and the good of the sixteenth andseventeenth centuries found in English parish churches and cathedrals,those elaborate confections that many of us hurry past. Two questionsare posed: 'What happens when historians listen to how people inthe past wanted to be remembered?' and 'what does it tell usabout the Reformation and Renaissance?' Answers are found in thechanges in attitude towards death and the afterlife, changes in motifsand changes in the messages conveyed. The author puts forward aconvincing argument that monuments are more than convention, say morethan they let on, if only we learn to read the code. But, only 300 or soyears after they were erected, much of that code is no longerunderstandable by most of us. Not very successful memorials then? Our last three books deal with British archaeology in, mainly, thefirst part of the twentieth century. Two are biographies, of O.G.S.Crawford and of Dame Kathleen Kenyon, the third is an account of Britisharchaeology in the interwar years and of what Crawford described as its'crankeries', ley hunting and Druidic revivalism. These willbe presented only briefly here, as they are more likely to be bought byreaders of Antiquity to judge for themselves. Fortunately all three arereasonably priced and all three are competently written, though none isscintillating scin��til��late?v. scin��til��lat��ed, scin��til��lat��ing, scin��til��latesv.intr.1.

HAUSER's biographyof the founder of Antiquity and father of landscape archaeology O.G.S.Crawford, is entitled Bloody old Britain (from the title of anunpublished but circulated book penned by Crawford in the late 1930s andearly 1940s). The impression is one of disillusionment, though it isdifficult to ascertain exactly whether this is wholly due to thecharacter of the subject or also in part to the treatment of it. Thesombre mood is further conveyed by the uncaptioned dark illustrations.

A thumbnail sketch is provided on p. 112: 'The KathleenKenyon who became a modern archaeological legend--even amyth--originated at Jericho in the 1950s.

This isthe woman who could consume frightening quantities of gin withoutshowing its effects ...'. Yet, as the author shows, this image ofthe lovable British battle-axe is just one aspect of a more complexcharacter. ADAM STOUT'S Creating prehistory covers some of the groundencountered in O.G.S Crawford's biography, starting with the mainplayers in the field, Crawford himself, Childe, Wheeler, Kenyon, Clark,Piggott, Hawkes, Grimes and many more (the index treads like a roll callof twentieth-century British archaeology). His treatment of the widerpolitical canvas and archaeology's own political weft makes forfive enjoyable early chapters. Thereafter treatment switches todiffusionism, ley-hunting and druidism. There perhaps greater prominencecould have been given to Piggott (whose 1985 book The Druids isunaccountably missing from the bibliography). Stout ends his foray intoalternative visions of the past by suggesting that British archaeologyis still 'boxed in' in the intellectual agenda developed inthe 1920s (p. 241) and that it should engage with 'otherness'in all its guises, however outrageous (pp. 242-6). These three books project an image of archaeology, and society ingeneral, that is so very British, and this despite the fact that themain protagonists were major international figures, well-travelledplayers on the world stage. And hand in hand with Britishness comesclass consciousness. This uneasy alliance is perhaps best illustrated bythe life of O.G.S Crawford who, despite his Bolshevik sympathies,appears never to have been at ease either with the class struggle orwith the generally privileged intelligentsia of the day. So, from memoirs back to memory. The books reviewed here share anumber of common threads. Even the some examples crop up: the house keysthat Kathleen Kenyon noted amongst the Palestinian refugees in the 1950s(Davis, p.143) reappear in Sultan Barakat's post-war reconstructionessay (Stanley-Price, p. 30); or the sense of identity in the brevity ofan epitaph of 1573 ('Caius fui', I was Cajus; Sherlock, p.215) is echoed in the inscription on Crawford's grave ('Editorof Antiquity'; Hauser p. 258). Broader trends are that remembrancehas enormous powers of evocation (starting with Proust's muchquoted madeleine) but not replication of the past, that the act offorgetting, deliberate or not, is part of the package (see in particularMeskell's comments in Yoffee), and that memory is never static,always composed.
