Elements of Being Mentalities Identities and Movements - bar s
Author: Andrew Cochrane, Daniela Hofmann, Jessica Mills

This volume is the product of a Theoretical Archaeology Group (TAG) conference session (held at Lampeter, Wales, in December 2003) entitled Mentalites and Identities in Motion. Included here are all the papers held there, and more besides. The session centred on the role of past ways of thinking, feeling and acting in social transformation, and ... more »exploring past worldviews as (instead of being relegated to the aefictionalAe or anecdotal) an integral part of every aspect of human life, not just explicit contexts of power struggles and domination, but also approachable from the material evidence. The contributions are widely spread across space and time, ranging from Northern Ireland to Sicily, from France to Bulgaria and covering almost every period from the Mesolithic to the Thirty YearsAe War. On top of this, they are also very different in methodology, in the ways they have interpreted the session title and approached their evidence. Before rushing headlong into this kaleidoscopic mix, then, it is worth briefly explaining the rationale behind the session title and the selection and arrangement of papers. CONTENTS: (1) A taste of the unexpected: subverting mentalites through the motifs and settings of Irish passage tombs (Andrew Cochrane); (2) oUn pour tous, tous pour uno, Communal identity and individualism in northern French villages during the Thirty YearsAe War (Hugues Courbot-Dewerdt); (3) Private lives, public identities: a spatial analysis of privacy within Bulgarian tell architecture (Gary Jones); (4) Agents of identity: performative practice at the Etton causewayed enclosure (Oliver Harris); (5) aeMending GaulsAe fences with the RomansAe: spatial identities from farmsteads to sacred places in northern Gaul (Cecilia Courbot-Dewerdt); (6) Fragments of power: LBK figurines and the mortuary record (Daniela Hofmann); (7) aeWhat the Romans did for us.Ae A question of identity in the Broekpolder (Marjolijn Kok); (8) War and domestic peace in the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age of Abruzzo (Central Italy).
