Santa Cruz Island figure sculpture and its social and ritual contexts by
William H Davenport(
)
5 editions published in 2005 in English and held by 596 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"In the ethnographic study of traditional sculpture from Santa Cruz Island (Nendo) in the southwest Pacific, the late anthropologist William H. Davenport presents a distinctive genre of figurative carvings produced for and used in traditional religious rituals and ceremonies. Santa Cruz Island, part of the Solomon Islands nation, lies in the ethnographic region called Melanesia." "The book begins with the history of Santa Cruz Island society since the first Europeans came to the area in 1595, and records the distinctive characteristics of the culture. Included are meticulous descriptions of Nendo's sacred objects, unique red-feather currency, and ceremonial dances and rituals. An engaging transcription of oral myths relayed by local informants reveals how Santa Cruz believers distinguished, celebrated, and communicated with their deities." "The extensive catalogue entries cover 55 specimens of Santa Cruz Island sculpture, with black and white photographs of each. Since this is the first text to present this sculpture tradition, all figures discovered in the future will be judged against this corpus of authenticated originals. Figures that have long stood mute in many of the world's museums are now given voice through Davenport's text." "The 72 color photographs by the author on the accompanying CD illustrate life as it was lived on Santa Cruz before independence in 1978, recording a culture which is barely now remembered by the descendants of those who created it. These illustrations provide a visual context for the sculptures and the ceremonies surrounding their worship."--Jacket

Maya folktales from the Alta Verapaz by
Elin C Danien(
)
5 editions published in 2005 in English and held by 574 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The dozen tales in this book were collected from Guatemalan informants early in the twentieth century recorded in the words of the storytellers. They come down to us unfiltered by anthropologists, writers, or professional folklorists. The tales make up a fascinating collection that informs in significant and creative ways how the Maya view their world and how they were engaged with the greater world around them in insightful and often humorous ways. They offer transformations, ogres, anthropomorphic animals, mountains and caves, and supernatural explanations for natural phenomena, along with the origins of modes of dress and behavior, medical rituals, and tales that carry folk interpretations of the Popul Vuh, the ancient Maya creation myth. Elin C. Danien's introductory essay includes biographical information about the collectors, suggestions of pre-Columbian roots for the tales, and a history of the previous restricted publication. Her explanations of cultural behavior enhance the human qualities of the actors without transgressing the storytellers. The early date of these tales makes the book extremely unusual and fresh

Dún Ailinne : excavations at an Irish royal site, 1968-1975 by
Susan A Johnston(
)
7 editions published in 2007 in English and held by 528 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The site of Dún Ailinne is one of four major ritual sites from the Irish Iron Age, each said to form the center of a political kingdom and thus described as "royal." Excavation has produced artifacts ranging from the Neolithic (about 5,000 years ago) through the later Iron Age (fourth century CE), when the site was the focus of repeated rituals, probably related to the creation and maintenance of political hegemony. A series of timber structures were built and replaced as each group of leaders sought to claim ancient descent from a deep past and still create something unique and lasting.Pam J. Crabtree and Ronald Hicks provide analyses on, respectively, biological remains and Dún Ailinne's role in folklore, myth, and the sacred landscape, while Katherine Moreau examines bronze and iron artifacts and Elizabeth Hamilton, slag.Content of this book's CD-ROM may be found online at this location: http://core.tdar.org/project/376584.University Museum Monograph, 129

Landscapes of movement : trails, paths, and roads in anthropological perspective by
J. Andrew Darling(
Book
)
3 editions published in 2009 in English and held by 174 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Landscapes of Movement originates from the premise that trails, paths, and roads are the physical manifestation of human movement through the landscape and are central to an understanding of that movement. The study of these features connects with many intellectual domains, engaging history, geography, environmental studies, and, in particular, anthropology and archaeology. These diverse fields together provide not only a better understanding of infrastructure but also of social, political, and economic organization, cultural expressions of patterned movement, and the ways that trails, paths, and roads reflect aculture's traditional knowledge, worldview, memory, and identity." "The contributors to Landscapes of Movement document these routes across different times and cultures, from those made by hunter-gatherers in the Great Basin of North America to causeways in the Bolivian Amazon to Bronze Age towns in the Near East, examined through aerial and satellite photography, surface survey, historic records, and archaeological excavation. The essays consider many factors in the development and use of trails, paths, and roads, including labor, technology, terrain characteristics, landscape features, access, and ownership. Diverse scales of movement are also addressed, ranging from paths between home and fields to roads used for long-distance journeying. Overall, the book makes the case for the centrality of paths, trails, and roads as an organizing element of human lives throughout history."--Jacket

The Tlingit encounter with photography by
Sharon Gmelch(
Book
)
4 editions published between 2008 and 2009 in English and held by 173 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Based on research in 13 North American archives (including the Penn Museum's Shotridge Collection), examination of hundreds of photographs, and extensive oral-history interviews with both Tlingit and non-Natives, Sharon Bohn Gmelch presents valuable insights on the reactions of Native subjects to being photographed and their own early use of photography. Today, these now historical images are being reclaimed from public archives by the Tlingit, contributing to a new sense of empowerment and pride in their rich heritage." "This is the first book to explore the photographic imagery of the Tlingit during a critical period of change, from the 1860s through the 1920s. It also provides the first full treatment of the Tlingit photography of Elbridge W. Merrill, a neglected figure in the history of ethnographic photography." "The author has included 129 rare photographic images, a map, bibliography, and index."--BOOK JACKET

Reconfiguring the Silk Road : new research on East-West exchange in antiquity by
Jane Hickman(
Book
)
3 editions published in 2014 in English and held by 104 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
From the Bronze Age through the Middle Ages, a network of trade and migration routes brought people from across Eurasia into contact. Their commerce included political, social, and artistic ideas, as well as material goods such as metals and textiles. Reconfiguring the Silk Road offers new research on the earliest trade and cultural interactions along these routes, mapping the spread and influence of Silk Road economies and social structures over time. This volume features contributions by renowned scholars uncovering new discoveries related to populations that lived in the Tarim Basin, the advanced state of textile manufacturing in the region, and the diffusion of domesticated grains across Inner Asia. Other chapters include an analysis of the dispersal of languages across the Eurasian Steppe and a detailed examination of the domestication of the horse in the region. Contextualized with a foreword by Colin Renfrew and introduction by Victor Mair, Reconfiguring the Silk Road provides a new assessment of the intercultural evolution along the steppes and beyond. Contributors: David W. Anthony, Elizabeth Wayland Barber, Dorcas R. Brown, Peter Brown, Michael D. Frachetti, Jane Hickman, Philip L. Kohl, Victor H. Mair, J.P. Mallory, Joseph G. Manning, Colin Renfrew
