patrimonio y Derechos de Los Pueblos Indígenas

the Islands of Paros and Naxos during the Late Antique and Early Byzantine Centuries
2017 || Paperback || Konstantinos Roussos || Leiden University Press
The Islands of Paros and Naxos during the Late Antique and Early Byzantine Centuries
The aim of this book is to offer a fresh approach to the history and archaeology of the Cyclades in Late Antiquity and the Byzantine Early Middle Ages in light of current archaeological investigations. It is an attempt to interpret human-environmental interaction in order to "read" the relationship between islands, settlements, landscapes and seascapes in the context of the diverse and highly interactive Medit...
After the deluge
2017 || Paperback || Wilko van Zijverden || Sidestone Press Dissertations
After World War II huge land consolidation projects measuring thousands of hectares were carried out in West-Frisia. Large scale excavations of Bronze Age settlement sites were carried out resulting in a convincing model for the Bronze Age habitation of West-Frisia. This model envisaged settlement sites situated on creek ridges in an open almost treeless landscape. After a sudden change in climate c. 800 cal BC parts of the landscape were inundated, peat bogs developed and West-Frisia was aba...

developing a New Approach to Maritime and Underwater Cultural Heritage Management in Sub-Saharan Africa
2017 || Paperback || Jonathan Sharfman || Leiden University Press
This volume of the ASLU series examines perspectives on maritime and underwater cultural heritage (MUCH) in southern Africa and proposes new management approaches to advance protection and public engagement. By redefining the maritime historical narratives in countries that have predominantly interpreted their maritime past through colonial shipwrecks, it is possible to create an environment in which stakeholders become active participants in heritage management. The application of a broad ma...
Verhalen van de Romeinse kust
2017 || Paperback || Erick Kila || Nieuwe Haagsche B.V., Uitgeverij De
In de tweede eeuw na Christus werd de Zuid-Hollandse kust in toenemende mate aantrekkelijk als landingsplaats voor Chaukische piraten. Het Romeinse leger, onder meer aanwezig in Forum Hadriani (een stadje in wat nu Voorburg is), nam maatregelen.
Ter hoogte van vakantiepark Kijkduin verscheen rond 150 na Chr. een ruiterfortje. In die periode kwamen er waarschijnlijk meer kleine kustforten en wachttorens (ook bij de Scheveningse weg). Onderzoek levert steeds scherper het beeld op van een system...

opgravingen in hartje Den Haag
2017 || Paperback || Evert van Ginkel e.a. || Nieuwe Haagsche B.V., Uitgeverij De
Dit boek vertelt niet veel over de opgraving (die in barre weersomstandigheden en onder tijdsdruk werd uitgevoerd) maar over de resten van de vroegere huizen, hun bewoners en vooral over wat die bewoners achterlieten aan voorwerpen. Wijnglazen, hondenbotten, pijpenkoppen, knikkers, een middeleeuws pelgrimsinsigne uit Aken en aardewerk uit het Engeland van de Industriële Revolutie komen langs. Bij sommige van die voorwerpen zul je je eerst afvragen, wat ze kunnen bijdragen aan onze kennis van...
