Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Bone and tooth tools and ornaments have been made by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for at least 46,000 years some of the oldest organic technologies in the world. Despite their beauty, sophistication, and ubiquity, archaeologists and other researchers have overwhelmingly focused on the stone artefacts of Australia. Consequently, until now, we knew little of how bone and tooth objects were made and used, or how individual communities differed in how they worked with these distinctive materials.A Record in Bone brings together the scattered and sometimes difficult-to-find research and findings of more than a century. It reveals innovative bone, tooth, quill, and claw industries, including extensive use of ornamentation, bone points, fishhooks, and much more.This volume is a perfect companion to A Record in Stone: The study of Australias flaked stone artefacts (ASP 2007). It is an invaluable reference text for professionals and students of archaeology, anthropology, Indigenous studies, and museum studies; and an easy-to-read introduction for anyone interested in Australias deep past. Bone and tooth tools and ornaments have been made by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for at least 46,000 years, using some of the oldest technologies in the world.

Published by Aboriginal Studies Press, it is the first comprehensive volume to synthesise over a century of fragmented research regarding Australia's 46,000-year-old osseous (bone and tooth) technologies. The book serves as an essential companion to Holdaway and Stern's foundational 2004 text, A Record in Stone. Key Archaeological Themes Ancient Technology: Proves First Nations peoples engineered bone, tooth, quill, and claw materials for at least 46,000 years, representing some of the world's oldest organic technologies. Alternative to Stone: Challenges the long-held archaeological bias that stone was the primary medium for toolmaking in ancient Australia. Diverse Material Industries: Details complex manufacturing traditions including bone points, multi-pronged fishhooks, regional ornaments, and items stained with ochre. Cultural Innovation: Illustrates how individual Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities developed distinct regional methodologies based on local fauna and environmental conditions.

HB, 300 x 240 mm, 192 p, 225 illustrations, FR edition, . ISBN 9788836652259. Des jouets au musée ? Cet ouvrage en présente un grand nombre, par exemple un bélier à roulettes vieux de 2000 ans, des poupées Barbie, les premiers petits soldats de plomb ou des ours en peluche, tous prêtés à l'HDE Var par les nombreux musées qui se sont intéressés à ces objets fascinants : le musée des Arts décoratifs à Paris, le musée du Louvre, le musée de Cluny, le musée du Jouet de Moirans-en-Montagne, le musée d'Archéologie nationale de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, le Mucem, la BnF et bien d'autres. Les plus grandes institutions muséales ont montré, en contribuant à cette exposition et à ce catalogue, leur intérêt de rendre accessible une réflexion sur ce sujet essentiel. Les musées, comme les institutions universitaires, se sont depuis longtemps saisis de ces objets qui permettent de mieux comprendre la place du jeu dans l'Histoire. En effet, le jouet suit les évolutions historiques, sociales, politiques et économiques, et reflète la place des enfants dans la société. Des harpons miniatures de la Préhistoire aux héros d'aujourd'hui, en passant par les premiers chevaliers ou les petites boutiques du XIXe siècle, l'histoire des jouets nous permet de mieux comprendre la vie des enfants des siècles précédents, mais également les besoins de ceux d'aujourd'hui. Car, au-delà de l'objet et de son histoire, se dessine également l'histoire de son usage et ainsi des mentalités. Alors que les jouets sont à un tournant de leur existence, entre nouvelle technologie et retour aux matériaux naturels, il s'agit de mieux appréhender leur influence sur les premières années de nos vies, mais aussi, pour les adultes, de cultiver et de chérir la part d'enfance qui demeure en chacun de nous. 1400 g.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume presents the current state of knowledge on the osseous projectile weaponry that was produced by Pleistocene cultures across the globe. Through cross-cultural and temporal comparison of manufacturing methods, design, use methods, and associated technology, chapters in this volume identify and discuss differences and similarities between these Pleistocene cultures. The central research questions addressed in this volume include: (a) how did osseous weaponry technology develop and change through time and can these changes be tied to environmental and/or social influences ; (b) how did different Pleistocene cultures design and adapt their osseous weaponry technology to their environment as well as changes in that environment ; and (c) can we identify cultural interaction between neighboring groups through the analysis of osseous weapons technology - and if so - can we use these items to track the movement of peoples and/or ideas across the landscape Through addressing these three central research questions, this volume creates an integrated understanding of osseous technology during a vital period in Modern Human cultural development which will be useful for students and advanced researchers alike.…
