John Bintliff (Edited by)
The Annales School and Archaeology
New York: New York University Press 1991. BW2 - A first US edition hardcover book in very good condition in very good dust jacket. Dust jacket has some scattered light scratches and rubbing dust jacket and book have some bumped corners light discoloration and shelf wear. 9.25"x6.25" 127 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Structural History the core model of the Annales School of French historians offers the most highly developed and intellectually refined analytical programme for structuring and hence simplifying the phenomena of the human past in all their complexity. This volume is designed to explain the key concepts and approaches developed by Annaliste scholarship and to apply them to the discipline of archaeology. The importance of Structural History to archaeology is shown in two ways. Firstly the principles developed in the Annales tradition are described and placed into the context of contemporary theoretical debate in archaeology. The moral important of these principles is the notion of distinctive historical forces operating on different timescales; short-term events événements that dominate conventional history - historical archaeologists and much less frequently prehistorians uncover history at this fine level of detail; these events interact with and influence world-views held by past societies mentalités - the interest of symbolic structuralist and cognitive archaeology; medium-term social and natural trends operating over a timescale of centuries conjunctures - such forces generate the recurrent patterned phenomena identified by "New Archaeologists"; and the long-term almost timeless constraints on human life set by the land by slowly changing technologies and world views the longue durée - obviously relevant to the study of early hominid development the history of technology and to Environmental and Geographical Archaeology. Secondly the book goes on to show by means of detailed case studies from Britain the Mediterranean and the United States how these principles are being applied in some notable archaeological studies of the later prehistoric Graeco-Roman and Medieval periods. The combination of sophisticated theory clearly explained and first rate practice clearly described makes this book essential reading for every archaeological and ancient historian concerned with improving our understanding of past societies. . First US Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. New York University Press Hardcover

Edges of covers have superficial wear. Spine is uncreased. . Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. ABOUT THIS BOOK: This ambitious study documents the underlying features which link the civilizations of the Mediterranean - Phoenician Greek Etruscan and Roman - and the Iron Age cultures of central Europe traditionally associated with the Celts. It deals with the social economic and cultural interaction in the first millennium BC which culminated in the Roman Empire. The book has three principle themes: the spread of iron-working from its origins in Anatolia to its adoption over most of Europe; the development of a trading system throughout the Mediterrean world after the collapse of Mycenaean Greece and its spread into temperate Europe; and the rise of ever more complex societies including states and cities and eventually empires. Dr Collis takes a new look at such key concepts as population movement diffusion trade social structure and spatial organization with some challenging new views on the Celts in particular.

John Edward Clark (1952- )
The Lithic Artifacts of La Libertad Chiapas Mexico: An Economic Perspective
xx286 pages with frontispiece 96 figures 175 tables and appendixes. Quarto 10 1/2" x 7 3/4" bound in original publisher's wrappers. Appendix by Fred W Nelson. Papers of the New World Archaeological Foundation number 52. First edition. The lithic artifacts presented in this report were excavated at La Libertad Chiapas Mexico in 1975-76 and first made available in 1977; a preliminary study of the obsidian was completed in 1978. As in any work of this extensive nature research was conducted and descriptions compiled over a number of years. In several cases collections were analyzed repeatedly in order to bring analysis more up to date. In 1978 the author analyzed the obsidian for an MA thesis and subsequent research made clear that technological analysis of the obsidian needed revision. One goal of the study has been to move beyond basic description and to show that data significant for resolving wider problems of economic and cultural evolution can be delivered from utilitarian stone artifacts.

John M. Ludlow
Thoughts On the Policy of the Crown Towards India [Hardcover]
The year 1857 was a Turning Point in the History of British India. In this year the Sepoy Mutiny broke out, which, though suppressed by force by the then Government of the East India Company, riveted the attention of all educated Englishmen on India. Statesmen, Parliamentarians and people concerned with the welfare of the British nation went deep into the causes of the Mutiny and analysed its immediate and far-reaching impacts on the Military Strength and Financial resources of England. The causes of the disaster were not far to seek. The general maladministration of the Company, their annexation policy, interference with the age-old practice of succession by adoption among the Indian princes, fear of the Indian people both the Hindus and the Musalmans - that the Government, with the help of the Christian missionaries, are trying to convert the whole nation into Christianity, Discrimination of the natives from the Englishmen in Civil and military services as well as in the administration of justice, etc. became known as the causes behind the Mutiny. The future of the Indian Empire appeared to be grim to all right thinking persons in England. As a result of this retrospection and debate at home, the British Government of Queen Victoria decided to act to the right direction. Then came the Queen's Proclamation, the India Bill was passed by the British Parliament, the time-honoured administration of the East India Company swept away, the Government of India was transferred to the Crown, and a reponsible Ministry for India established. The Queen's Proclamation was welcomed both in England and in India. It promised redress to all the above mentioned grievances and to establish an impartial clean Government for the Indians. The present work, written by a contemporary British thinker, is an interpretative Study of the Queen's proclamation and the post-mutiny policy of the Crown towards India. It takes up the Proclamation, section by section, and analyses the various promises contained therein. To make the subject properly understandable, the author has described the conditions existing prior to the Mutiny and the grievances of the people on various accounts, in great details. The work is a record of the State of affirs before and after the Reforms and an interpretation of the Policies of the British Government towards India. The work has been reprinted from the 1859 Edition in view of its importance as source Material for the study of the evolution of British Raj in India.
