The Archaeology of Shamanismby Neil S. PriceISBN 0415252555 (0-415-25255-5)
Softcover, Routledge
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Archaeology of Shamanism'Book summary:In this timely collection, Neil Price provides a general introduction to the archaeology of shamanism by bringing together recent archaeological thought on the subject. Blending theoretical discussion with detailed case studies, the issues addressed include shamanic material culture, responses to dying and the dead, shamanic soundscapes, the use of ritual architecture and shamanism in the context of other belief systems such as totemism. Following an intial orientation reviewing shamanism as an anthropological construct, the volume focuses on the Northern hemisphere with case studies from Greenland to Nepal, Siberia to Kazakhstan. The papers span a chronological range from Upper Palaeolithic to the present and explore such cross-cutting themes as gender and the body, identity, landscape, architecture, as well as shamanic interpretations of rock art and shamanism in the heritage and cultural identity of indigenous peoples. The volume also addresses the interpretation of shamanic beliefs in terms of cognitive neuroscience and the modern public perception of prehistoric shamanism. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Bones: Discovering the First Americans'Book summary:Bonesthe remains of ancient New World natives now lying in museums and university laboratories across the Americasare at the center of the scientific and cultural battles described in this provocative book. These bones, award-winning investigative journalist Elaine Dewar asserts, challenge the accepted theory that the first Americans descend from a Mongoloid people who migrated across the Bering land bridge to Alaska at the end of the Ice Age 11,000 years ago. With Native American activists, white supremacists, DNA experts, and physical anthropologistsall vying for control of ancient bones like those of the Caucasoid Kennewick ManDewar explores the politics of archaeology, history, law, native spirituality, and race relations at work in this scientific battlefield. She reports, too, on the contention among the experts over alternative theories that suggest the New World may have been populated as early as 60,000 years ago, perhaps by Polynesian voyagers who sailed to South America. Bound to shake archaeologists out of their complacency. Canadian Geographic Provocative ... likely to rattle the old bones of orthodoxy.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Celts'Book summary:By T.G.E. Powell, edited by Stuart Piggott, Revised edition, 1980, published by Thames & Hudson. With 149 illustrations, 12 in colour. Publisher's statement: "Who were the Celts? To what extent have they influenced the composition of the modern nations of Western Europe, and of Britain and Ireland in particluar? In his search for their identity the author probes the social, religious and cultural attitudes of this far-flung people by marshalling the evidence that does exist--historical, archaeological, and linguistic. The late Professor Powell's book has been widely acclaimed as a major pioneering study since its first publication. Professor Stuart Piggott, who supervised the preparation of the revised edition, says in his Preface that so sound was the author's scholarship that it was possible to leave the text virtually intact. However, many additional illustrations have been selected including eight pages of colour plates." [via]

Ceramic Theory and Cultural Processby Dean E. ArnoldISBN 0521272599 (0-521-27259-9)
Softcover, Cambridge Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Ceramic Theory and Cultural Process'Book summary:This much-praised book aims to develop a theory of ceramics which will elucidate the complex relationship between ceramics and culture and society. Drawing upon the theoretical perspectives of systems theory, cybernetics and cultural ecology, Dr Arnold develops cross-cultural generalizations to explain the origins and evolution of the craft of pottery making. These processes are organized into a series of feedback mechanisms which limit or stimulate the initial production of pottery and its transition from a part-time to a full-time specialized activity. The author provides extensive ethnographic documentation, taken from a wide-ranging synthesis of the available literature and employing many data from his own fieldwork in Peru, Guatemala and Mexico, to illustrate the existence of these feedback relationships in societies around the world. Each mechanism is viewed, not as a relationship which exists in a few of the world's cultures, but as a universal generalization often based on some unique physical or chemical aspect of the pottery itself. Ceramic theory and cultural process is an innovative approach to the archaeological interpretation of ceramics which significantly extends our understanding of the social, cultural and environmental processes of ceramic production.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Goddess And The Bull: Catalhoyuk An Archaeological Journey To The Dawn Of Civilization'Book summary:THE GODDESS AND THE BULL details the dramatic quest by archaeologists to unearth the buried secrets of human cultural evolution in the largest and best preserved prehistoric settlement ever to be discovered: the 9,500-year-old village of Catalhoyuk in Turkey. Here lie the origins of modern society - the dawn of art, architecture, religion, family, and even the first tangible evidence of human self-awareness, the world's oldest mirrors. Michael Balter, the excavation's official biographer, takes readers behind the scenes, providing unprecedented access to the remarkable site and its history of scandal and thrilling scientific discovery. He features colourful characters like James Mellaart, the man who discovered the site only to lose it in the wake of a scandal, and Ian Hodder, a path-breaking archaeological rebel who reopened excavations in the early 1990s and who continues to probe the site today. Along the way, Balter describes the cutting-edge advances in archaelogical science that have allowed the team at Catalhoyuk to examine and illuminate the central questions of human existence. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'In Pursuit of the Past: Decoding the Archaeological Record With a New Afterword'Book summary:Many consider Lewis Binford to be the single most influential figure in archaeology in the last half-century. His contributions to the "New Archaeology" changed the course of the field as he argued for the development of a scientifically rigorous framework to guide the excavation and interpretation of the archaeological record. In this book, first published nearly two decades ago, Binford provided students and general readers with an introduction to his challenging and provocative ideas about understanding the human past. Now available again, this important component of Binford's intellectual legacy will convey the drama and intellectual excitement of contemporary archaeology to a new generation of archaeologists and others interested in the field. Throughout the book, Binford questions old ideas and proposes new theories based on his comparative archaeological and ethnographic research in North America, Europe, South Africa, and Australia. A new afterword by Binford surveys the direction archaeology has taken since the publication of this book and shares his hopes for the future of the discipline.[via]More editions of In Pursuit of the Past: Decoding the Archaeological Record:

Softcover, Thames & Hudson
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Mind in the Cave: Consciousness and the Origins of Art'Book summary:The central themes of this intellectually invigorating and wide-ranging book - the evolution of the brain and mind, primary vs. higher-order consciousness, Neanderthals vs. Cro-Magnons, the nature of art, and shamanism - are guaranteed to capture the public imagination. This compellingly written 'detective story' puts forward the most convincing explanation yet proposed for the origins of image-making and art, examining how the Neanderthals lived for over 10,000 years alongside our Cro-Magnon ancestors, but never developed art. The reason for this lay in the evolution of the human mind. Cro-Magnons possessed a higher-order consciousness and more advanced neurological make-up, which enabled them to experience shamanistic trances and vivid mental imagery. It became important for them to 'fix', or paint, these images on to cave walls, which they perceived as the membrane between their world and the spirit world from which the visions came. These illuminating glimpses into the ancient mind are skilfully interwoven with the story of modern-day cave discoveries and vivid descriptions of the beautiful Ice-Age art found in caves such as Lascaux and Altamira.
