The different written and archaeological sources give a very heterogeneous picture of the social and religious structures in Eastern Middle Europe. Recent developments in modern archaeological and historical research have shown new approaches to the analysis of elites. In every society there is a leading minority, who cumulates both wealth and prestige and is characterized by an elevated social rank, reputation and acceptance. An external marker of these elites is especially the superregional transfer of certain items, but also of the culturally encoded value systems. The present study asks whether this notion of cultural transfer, developed in the context of modern history, can be applied as well to the study of mutual influences between the elites of medieval Western and Eastern Middle Europe. It also raises the question if this terminology is equally useful for the analysis of written and material sources, and to what extent it might open a new perspective on the rich but as yet often unexplored history of the lands east of the Elbe river.

"L'émotion romantique et la fièvre de la restauration ont fait négliger à quel point la ruine est bien plus qu'un vestige du passé en voie de disparition. La ruine est en réalité une construction symbolique qui s'impose dans le paysage au moment où elle est considérée, non plus comme un amas de pierres, mais comme un reste du passé dont il s'agit d'honorer les bâtisseurs, de rappeler les usages, de conserver ou de rétablir le souvenir d'événements mémorables. Les ruines sont des objets dont la valeur ne se définit donc pas exclusivement à l'aide de critères esthétiques ou épistémologiques. Elles sont des lieux de mémoire dont la valorisation, qu'elle soit propre à certains groupes sociaux particuliers ou qu'elle concerne la société à part entière, est profondément négociée. Elles sont sujettes au changement historique. Aussi, c'est dans ces différents aspects que réside la nature politique des usages des ruines qui est objet de ce livre."--Page 4 of cover.

Porter un regard rétrospectif sur la discipline archéologique soulève de nombreuses questions aujourd'hui au cœur de l'actualité, sur l'évolution des méthodes scientifiques, sur les contextes historiques de leur production et sur l'histoire des collections européennes et extra-européennes. Cet ouvrage réunit une trentaine de spécialistes qui témoignent de l'avancée des recherches dans ce domaine, autour de trois thématiques : la naissance de l'archéologie qui, pendant l'époque des Lumières et au début du XIXe siècle, mena les érudits de la philologie et l'histoire ancienne vers l'archéologie de terrain et l'étude des artefacts ; le développement de cette discipline dans le cadre des dynamiques de transferts culturels à partir du milieu du XIXe s. jusqu'à la Seconde Guerre mondiale ; son institutionnalisation depuis le début du XIXe s. et ses liens avec les politiques nationales.

The central Indonesian island of Sulawesi has recently been hitting headlines with respect to its archaeology. It contains some of the oldest directly dated rock art in the world, and some of the oldest evidence for a hominin presence beyond the southeastern limits of the Ice Age Asian continent. In this volume, scholars from Indonesia and Australia come together to present their research findings and views on a broad range of topics. From early periods, these include observations on Ice Age climate, life in caves and open sites, rock art, and the animals that humans exploited and lived alongside. The archaeology presented from later periods covers the rise of the Bugis kingdom, Chinese trade ceramics, and a range of site-based and regional topics from the Neolithic through to the arrival of Islam. This carefully edited volume is the first to be devoted entirely to the archaeology of the island of Sulawesi, and it lays down a baseline for significant future research. Peter Bellwood, Emeritus Professor, The Australian National University
