Soft cover. Zustand: New. i, 94 pages : illustrations, map ; 30 cm. "The present volume is the outcome of a session held at the 15th European Archaeological Association conference at Lake Garda in Italy, in September 2009"--Page 1. The aim of this volume is to explore a topic which occurs in all cultures from as early as the Upper Palaeolithic, but has so far been underexplored in archaeological literature – the archaeology of dance. The contributions to this volume examine the archaeological evidence for dance performances from a variety of geographical areas and time periods. The common element in these papers is the human body and the implicit meaning of the act of dancing. Since dance is a multi-faceted phenomenon, the papers in this volume treat it from a variety of perspectives, focusing on the one side on recognizing dance in the archaeological record and on the other in an attempt to look into the deeper meaning and symbolism of dance performances. The aim of the book is tohighlight the importance of a study of dance for archaeology, in order to form a more nuanced understanding of the past.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. xxviii, 420 pages : illustrations (some colour), maps ; 30 cm. Interpreting Southeast Asia's Past: Monument, Image and Text contains 31 papers read at the 10th International Conference of the European Association of Southeast Asian Archaeologists. The authors present new research on monumental arts, sculpture and painting, epigraphy and heritage management across mainland Southeast Asia and as far south as Indonesia. New monumental arts research includes papers focused on the enduring enigma of the Bayon of Angkor, as well as material on the great brick temple sites of the state of Champa, neighbors of the ancient Khmers. The sacred art of Burma, Thailand and southern China incites new analysis of sculpture and painting including the first study of the few surviving Saiva images in Burma. The collection includes an account of a spectacular find of bronze Mahayana Buddhas, an analysis of the sculpted bronzes of the Dian culture, and an assessment of the purpose of making and erecting sacred sculptures in the ancient world. Ancient Khmer materials, including recently discovered Cambodian ceramic kiln sites, are the main focus of new research on craft goods and crafting techniques that treat the source, dating and adoption of amalgam gilding among Khmer craft specialists; the sandstone sources of major Khmer sculptures; and the rare remaining traces of paint, plaster and stucco on Khmer stone and brick buildings. More widely distributed goods also receive attention, including Southeast Asian glass beads. There are also contributions to Southeast Asian heritage and conservation, including research on Angkor as a living World Heritage site, and discussion of a UNESCO project on the stone jars of the Plain of Jars in Laos that combines recording, safeguarding, bomb clearance, and eco-tourism development.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. XXIII, 423 pages: illustrations, maps, diagrams; 30 cm. The 36 chapters in this collection have been selected to give an overview of recent research into prehistoric and early historic archaeology in Southeast Asia. In the first chapter, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindorn of Thailand comments on the significance of the inscriptions from the important Khmer temple, Prasat Phnom Rung in northeastern Thailand. Following this, Professor Charles Higham gives an original and insightful survey of the prehistoric threads linking south China and the countries of modern Southeast Asia. The authors in this book include both senior academics and younger scholars just starting to make their contributions to an evolving story of Southeast Asia's past. Their contributions are organised under seven broad themes: Late Pleistocene and early Holocene communities, new perspectives on Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age mortuary practices, Iron Age landscapes and cultures, emerging early states and trading ports, urban landscapes, and regional and long-distrance exchange relations. This book makes a significant contribution to understanding early developments in the complex and dynamic region of Southeast Asia.…
