Figurines, Magic and Cult in a Changing World
Appropriation and Its Consequences
The beginnings of archaeology in Egypt and in India are the subject of this paper. In both countries, antiquities were carried away by the powerful. Moreover, the hubris of the colonial powers ruling both countries made it inevitable that not only antiquities, but knowledge about the past, were appropriated in different ways. For modern Egyptians, the Pharaonic past was remote in culture and distant in time. The people themselves were until fairl…
The Magic in the Image
Archaeology at the Heart of a Political Confrontation
Le citoyen et les liens tribaux à Mohenjo-daro Habitat, parenté, voisinage
On peut poser pour hypothèse plausible que l'administration harappéenne était une structure duelle : d'une part, des institutions étatiques précoces (royauté, législation royale, organisation du travail, normalisation des poids et mesures, etc.), d'autre part, des institutions ' tribales ' (poids de la parenté dans les réseaux de production, etc.). Ce dualisme se reflète-t-il dans l'urbanisme de Mohenjo-daro, ville principale de cette civilisatio…
Long‐Term History Without History? World System History

The evidence of the Harappan and Mesopotamian weights found overseas is discussed in the context of a theory of pre-Market economies, acknowledging the co-existence of commerce, gift exchange and elite-organized procurement expeditions.

Systems recently in use in India are relevant to the fact that the weights abroad were small and few. Also, the…
Our Tribal Past
The Bronze Age
This paper considers the crosscultural trade of the 3d millennium b.c. across the region between the Euphrates and the Indus from the perspective of worldsystem theory. This theory was developed for the international economics of the past few centuries, but in the 3d millennium b.c., when neither labour nor land was a commodity, economic processes were totally different. The Bronze Age was, however, unique even in ancient times in that the great …

Ideology and the Formation of Early States
Eighteen authors from 10 countries offer an assessment of the role of ideology in the emergence and development of early states. In a comparative perspective the significance of ideology in the processes that led to formation of states in Europe, Africa, Meso-America and Polynesia is discussed by specialists in the fields of anthropology, history and archaeology. Special attention is given to subjects such as the concept of ideology, regional com…
