Walking through the landscape: A different approach to mobility through 87Sr/86Sr isoscapes
Strontium isotope analyses ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) represent a fundamental tool for reconstructing human mobility in the past. However, interpretations based on comparisons between the isotopic values of mineralised tissues and local baselines – reducing mobility to a simple “local” versus “non-local” dichotomy – may result in over-simplified views of complex phenomena. In fact, such an approach may blur the complexity of human movement and the non-linea…
Forum: Populism, Identity Politics, and the Archaeology of Europe
The kind of liberal and open-minded society on which most academics rely to freely conduct their research is increasingly under threat, even within democratic societies of long standing. The issues related to populist approaches/uses of archaeology are highlighted, in different European countries. The Italian cases debated by A. Vanzetti is analyzed by proposing a general model of (archaeological) communication and discussing some particular situ…
How much is known about glassy materials in Bronze and Iron Age Italy? New data and general overview
The Campanian agrarian systems of the late Copper-Early Bronze Age (ca. 4550-3850 cal BP): A long-lasting agrarian management tradition before the Pomici di Avellino eruption
What is ‘European Archaeology’? What Should it be
European archaeology’ is an ambiguous and contested rubric. Rooted in the political histories of European archaeology, it potentially unites an academic field and provides a basis for international collaboration and inclusion, but also creates essentialized identities and exclusionary discourses. This discussion article presents a range of views on what European archaeology is, where it comes from, and what it could be
The Intangible Weight of Things: Approximate Nominal Weights in Modern Society
The field system of Gricignano d'Aversa (Southern Italy) and the agrarian impact in the Piana Campana, ca. 3900 cal BP
The iceman as a burial
Since his discovery in 1991 the iceman has been widely seen as meeting a dramatic end - mortally wounded by an arrow shot while attempting to flee through an Alpine pass. A careful study of all the located grave goods, here planned comprehensively for the first time, points strongly towards the scene as one of a ceremonial burial, subsequently dispersed by thawing and gravity. The whole assemblage thus takes on another aspect - not a casual trage…
