  • af Marianne Rasmussen Lindegaard
    231,95 - 298,95 kr.

    Landskabet kan byde på store oplevelser og rummer spændende historier fra vores fortid. Bogen levendegør i tekst, fotografier og tegninger oldtidens Danmark og de mennesker, der boede i landet. Det er historiefortælling for hele familien. Det er fascinerende, at vores lille og intensivt opdyrkede land kan byde på så mange spektakulære steder, fyldt med stemning af uberørthed, historie og magi. En gravhøj er ikke bare en bunke jord, men et monument bygget af tusindvis af græstørv, stablet af en udvalgt gruppe mennesker og efter en nøje tilrettelagt plan. De 72 fortællinger danner en samlet historie om perioden fra rensdyrjægerne kom til landet lige efter istidens slutning omkring år 11.000 f.v.t. og frem til vikingekongernes statsdannelse omkring år 1000.

  • - Textual and Archaeological Approaches to Secrecy
     
    115,95 kr.

    Secrecy and the act of concealing and revealing knowledge effectually segregate the initiated and the uninitiated. The act of sharing or hiding knowledge plays a central role in all human relations private or public, political or religious. This volume explores the concept of secrecy and its implications in Antiquity, Late Antiquity and the Renaissance in eleven cross-disciplinary contributions using both textual and archaeological sources. By exploring the revealing and concealing of knowledge across different social contexts, time frames and geographical locations, the book provides insight into the concept of secrecy and its potential for illuminating the agendas behind identity constructions, political propaganda, literary works, religous practices and shared history.

  • - A History and Guide
    af E.M. Forster
    163,95 kr.

    In the autumn of 1915, in a "slightly heroic mood", E.M. Forster arrived in Alexandria, full of lofty ideals as a volunteer for the Red Cross. Yet most of his time was spent exploring "the magic, antiquity and complexity" of the place in order to cope with living in what he saw as a "funk-hole". With a novelist''s pen, he brings to life the fabled, romantic city of Alexander the Great, capital of Graeco-Roman Egypt, beacon of light and culture symbolised by the Pharos, where the doomed love affair of Antony and Cleopatra was played out and the greatest library the world has ever known was built. Threading 3,000 years of history with vibrant strands of literature and punctuating the narrative with his own experiences, Forster immortalised Alexandria, painting an incomparable portrait of the great city and, inadvertently, himself.

  • - An Archaeological Guide
    af Paul Wilkinson
    217,95 kr.

    The resonant ruins of Pompeii are perhaps the most direct route back to the living, breathing world of the ancient Romans. Two million visitors annually now walk the paved streets which re-emerged, miraculously preserved, from their layers of volcanic ash. Yet for all the fame and unique importance of the site, there is a surprising lack of a handy archaeological guide in English to reveal and explain its public spaces and private residences. This compact and user-friendly handbook, written by an expert in the field, helpfully fills that gap. Illustrated throughout with maps, plans, diagrams and other images, Pompeii: An Archaeological Guide offers a general introduction to the doomed city followed by an authoritative summary and survey of the buildings, artefacts and paintings themselves. The result is an unrivalled picture, derived from an intimate knowledge of Roman archaeology around the Bay of Naples, of the forum, temples, brothels, bath-houses, bakeries, gymnasia, amphitheatre, necropolis and other site buildings - including perennial favourites like the House of the Faun, named after its celebrated dancing satyr.

  • - Egypt from the Fall of the New Kingdom to the Saite Renaissance ()
    af Aidan Dodson
    173,95 kr.

    During the half-millennium from the eleventh through the sixth centuries BC, the power and the glory of the imperial pharaohs of the New Kingdom crumbled in the face of internal crises and external pressures, ultimately reversed by invaders from Nubia and consolidated by natives of the Nile Delta following a series of Assyrian invasions.Much of this era remains obscure, with little consensus among Egyptologists. Against this background, Aidan Dodson reconsiders the evidence and proposes a number of new solutions to the problems of the period. He also considers the era's art, architecture, and archaeology, including the royal tombs of Tanis, one of which yielded the intact burials of no fewer than five pharaohs. Afterglow of Empire is extensively illustrated with images of this material, much of which is little known to non-specialists.By the author of the bestselling Amarna Sunset and Poisoned Legacy.

  • - The Archaeology of a Scuttled Fleet
    af Innes Mccartney
    295,95 kr.

    Marine archaeologist Dr Innes McCartney solves the mysterious fate of the lost ships of Jutland and reveals ΓÇô for the first time ΓÇô the location and state of the wrecks of all 25 warships sunk in the scuttling of the German fleet at Scapa Flow.The German High Seas Fleet was one of the most power naval forces in the world, and had fought the pride of the Royal Navy to a stalemate at the battle of Jutland in 1916. After the armistice was signed, ending fighting in World War I, it surrendered to the British and was interned in Scapa Flow pending the outcome of the Treaty of Versailles. In June 1919 the entire fleet attempted to sink itself in the Flow to prevent it being broken up as war prizes. Of the 74 ships present, 52 sunk and 22 were prevented from doing so by circumstance and British intervention. Marine archaeologist and historian Dr Innes McCartney reveals for the first time what became of the warships that were scuttled, examining the circumstances behind the loss of each ship and reconciling what was known at the time to what the archaeology is revealing today. This fascinating study reveals a fleet lost for nearly a century beneath the waves.

  • - Long- and Short-term Effects on Society and the Environment
    af Peter Moe Astrup
    513,95 kr.

    The seabed in southern Scandinavia contains numerous traces of a submerged landscape that is thought to be the remnant of a once important habitat for Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. Large parts of this landscape were gradually flooded by rising seas between 9500 and 4000 BC and perceptions of the Maglemose culture (9500-6400 BC) have, consequently, been based almost exclusively on former inland settlements. As a result, Early and Late Mesolithic societies have been understood as almost diametrically opposed with regards to their reliance upon marine resources and their degree of sedentism. The main objective of the book is to investigate two questions that are directly related to our current understanding of the populations of the now submerged areas: 1) Do we have a representative picture of the spread of Early Mesolithic sites in southern Scandinavia, or does the weighting towards inland sites reflect the fact that coastal sites have not been identified below present-day sea-level? 2) How did sea-level changes impact Mesolithic populations at different temporal and spatial scales, and how were these experienced from 8000-4000 BC? The book presents an extensive and up-to-date review of various types of evidence from the Boreal period such as faunal remains, fishing instruments, d13C values in bones, settle¿ment positions and available marine resources. These are used to discuss the extent to which marine resources were utilised in the Maglemose culture. Another central component of this book is a series of new coastline models made to determine the Mesolithic sea-level changes/coastline positions. The eight new coastline models are created to facilitate new evaluations of possible relationships between sea-level changes and cultural changes. On the basis of the new coastline models the book also presents the preliminary results of 47 diver investigations conducted with the aim of identifying potential coastal settlements from the Maglemose culture.

  • - Hulbælter fra jernalderen
     
    248,95 kr.

    For 2.500 år siden, i begyndelsen af ældre jernalder, var landskabet præget af et helt usædvanligt fænomen. Kilometerlange bånd af tætliggende huller – hulbælter – strakte sig gennem landskabet.Det første hulbælte blev opdaget i 1966. I dag er antallet vokset til 41. Disse mærkværdige danske hulbælter er så godt som enestående i europæisk jernalder, da der kun kendes ét svensk og et par stykker fra Holland. Flere hundrede år senere gjorde romerne brug af noget, der lignede, i forbindelse med deres skanseanlæg.I denne bog fremlægger 38 arkæologer undersøgelser og analyser af de 41 hulbælter. Desuden sættes de ind i en større sammenhæng med udblik til England, Holland, Frankrig, Afrika, Peru og Vietnam i søgen efter svaret på hulbælternes formål: Tjente de som forsvar, skulle de kontrollere færdslen, var de anlagt for at forhindre kvægtyve, eller var de grænser, der markerede brugsretten til jorden? Eller måske var de kultiske anlæg, hinsides vor moderne tankegang?Bogen giver et grundigt indblik i en helt ny slags fortidsminde og i hidtil upåagtede sider af vor forhistorie.

  • - Danish Archaeological Investigations in Abu Dhabi 1961-1971
    af Bo Madsen
    160,95 - 338,95 kr.

    The Early Bronze Age Tombs of Jebel Hafit fremlægger halvtreds gravhøje, der blev udgravet af Moesgaard Museum i perioden 1961-1971 i emiratet Abu Dhabi ved den Arabiske Golf. Disse udgravninger var de første arkæologiske undersøgelser overhovedet i denne del af verden, og de kastede det første lys over begyndelsen af bronzealderen på Omanhalvøen. Gravene repræsenterer en fundamental transformation af forholdet mellem mennesker og landskab i regionen, der går forud for opkomsten af det første oaseagerbrug. Gravene indeholder de første genstande af kobber fra regionen og viser, at udnyttelsen af kobbermalm fra Omanbjergene var begyndt. Gravene fra Jebel Hafit er indskrevet på UNESCOs Verdensarvsliste. Publikationen er resultatet af et samarbejde mellem Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority og Moesgaard Museum.

  • - The Emergence of Kingship in Early Dilmun
    af Steffen Terp Laursen
    226,95 - 438,95 kr.

    Kongegravene ved A’ali i Bahrain har længe være omgivet af mystik, og man har antaget, at de repræsenterer det sidste hvilested for Dilmunrigets bronzealderkonger. Opdagelsesrejsende og professionelle arkæologer, der var draget af monumenternes enorme størrelse, har gennem århundreder forsøgt at trænge ind i højenes indre og fravriste kamrenes deres skatte og hemmeligheder. Denne bog omhandler alt fra den tidligste arkæologiske udforskning af A’ali til helt nye data fra den under forfatterens ledelse gennemførte Bahrain-Moesgaard Museum ekspedition til A’ali (2010 -2016). Informationer fra både gamle og nye undersøgelser præsenteres og analyseres omhyggeligt. Resultaterne diskuteres med hovedfokus på den kongelige gravplads som samfundsinstitution og med afsæt i et teoretisk perspektiv, der trækker på dødsritualers antropologi og etnografi. Fokus er ligeledes rettet mod udviklingen af en arkitektonisk typologi samt en C14-kronologi over kongegravene. Meget omfattende mængder hidtil upublicerede udgravningsdata fra Bahrains gravhøje inkorporeres i studiet for at skabe et velunderbygget og diakront billede af udviklingen i gravarkitektur, dødsritualer og den social organisation i perioden 2200-1600 f.Kr. Der fremlægges inskriptioner, som demonstrerer, at de gravlagte konger var af amoritisk afstamning. Studiet afslører, at det ved A’ali begravede amoritiske dynasti fremkom sammen med byggeriet af enorme monumentale højgrave i en de facto kongegravplads omkring år 2000-1900 f.v.t., samt at de definitivt tabte grebet om magten omkring år 1700 f.Kr.

  • - Twenty First Century Engineering and Egypts Ancient Monuments
    af Peter James
    148,95 kr.

    Having worked on projects around the world, strengthening and restoring historically significant structures from Windsor Castle to the parliament buildings in Canada, Peter James brings insight to the structural engineering of ancient Egypt. After fourteen years working on the historic buildings and temples of Egypt, and most recently the world's oldest pyramid, he now presents some of the more common theories surrounding the 'collapsing' pyramid - along with new and innovative projections on the construction of the pyramids and the restoration of some of Cairo's most monumental structures from the brink of ruin. The decoding of historic construction from a builder's perspective is examined and explained - at times against many existing theories - and the book provides a new outlook on long-held assumptions, to embrace modern theories in a bid to preserve the past.
