Art rupestre et peuplements historiques au Yémen fait le point sur l'état actuel des connaissances en ce domaine. À l'inventaire iconographique de l'art rupestre préhistorique des régions de Saada et de Radā‘, établi par Madiha Rachad, s'est ajoutée une nouvelle découverte dans la région d'al-Dalī‘, relevée par une équipe dirigée par Frank Braemer. Ainsi cet ouvrage révèle-t-il un remarquable ensemble gravé et peint de représentations d'animaux, ainsi que des figurations humaines et des signes. Ces œuvres, d'abord gravées par des chasseurs, puis également peintes, illustrent aussi les premières périodes de la domestication animale en Arabie du Sud. Rock Art and prehistoric human Settlements in Yemen reviews the current state of the knowledge in this domain. In addition to the iconographic inventory of the prehistoric rock art of the regions of Saada and Rada', established by Madiha Rachad, a team directed by Frank Braemer made a new discovery in the region of al-Dali'. This book is thus revealing remarkable rock art pieces and paintings of animals, as well as human representations and signs. These works, at first engraved by hunters, then also painted, illustrate as well the first periods of animal domesticating in South Arabia.

Australia has one of the largest inventories of rock art in the world with pictographs and petroglyphs found almost anywhere that has suitable rock surfaces – in rock shelters and caves, on boulders and rock platforms. First Nations people have been marking these places with figurative imagery, abstract designs, stencils and prints for tens of thousands of years, often engaging with earlier rock markings. The art reflects and expresses changing experiences within landscapes over time, spirituality, history, law and lore, as well as relationships between individuals and groups of people, plants, animals, land and Ancestral Beings that are said to have created the world, including some rock art. Since the late 1700s, people arriving in Australia have been fascinated with the rock art they encountered, with detailed studies commencing in the late 1800s. Through the 1900s an impressive body of research on Australian rock art was undertaken, with dedicated academic study using archaeological methods employed since the late 1940s. Since then, Australian rock art has been researched from various perspectives, including that of Traditional Owners, custodians and other community members. Through the 1900s, there was also growing interest in Australian rock art from researchers across the globe, leading many to visit or migrate to Australia to undertake rock art research. In this volume, the varied histories of Australian rock art research from different parts of the country are explored not only in terms of key researchers, developments and changes over time, but also the crucial role of First Nations people themselves in investigations of this key component of their living heritage.

قبل خمسة وأربعون عاماً، خرجت اليمن من فترة طويلة من الصراع والعزلة. في الميدان الثقافي، صاحبت هذه النهضة مكونًا أثريًا مهمًا، ركزت في البداية على العصور القديمة، وهي الحضارة العربية الجنوبية، ثم امتدت سريعا إلى عصور ما قبل التاريخ والإسلامية. يتتبع هذا الكتاب أكثر من أربعين عاماً من البحوث الأثرية الفرنسية، نُسقت ابتداءً من عام 1982 من قِبَل المركز الفرنسي للدراسات اليمنية، الذي أصبح المركز الفرنسي للأثار والعلوم الاجتماعية بصنعاء. ورغم التوقف الوحشي بسبب الصراعات الأخيرة، إلا أن الاكتشافات التي حققتها الفرق العديدة من علماء الآثار والمؤرخينتجعل من الممكن تتبع المراحل العظيمة لتطور بلد أسطوري، بلد ملكة سبأ. هذه الأرض شهدت ظهور الممالك والمدن التي كان تطورها نتيجة لاتقان متقدم للزراعةالمروية وزيادة في تجارةالقوافل ثم التجارة البحرية للراتنجات العطرية، والخيول والبن. من خلال الطابع الأثري لهندستها المعمارية، وصقل فنونها، والسحر الذي تبذله نقوشها، تبدو الحضارة العربية الجنوبية (جنوب شبه الجزيرة العربية)مختلفة تمامًا عن الصورة الخاطئة لصحراء عربيةيجوبها البدو الوحيدون. Il y a quarante-cinq ans, le Yémen est sorti d'une longue période de conflits et d'isolement. Dans le domaine culturel, cette renaissance s'est accompagnée d'un important volet archéologique, d'abord centré sur l'époque antique, celle de la civilisation sudarabique, puis rapidement étendu aux périodes préhistorique et islamique. Cet ouvrage retrace plus de quarante années de recherches archéologiques françaises, coordonnées à partir de 1982 par le Centre français d'Etudes yéménites, devenu le Centre français d'Archéologie et de Sciences sociales de Sanaa. Bien que brutalement stoppées par les conflits récents, les découvertes effectuées par les nombreuses équipes d'archéologues et d'historiens permettent de retracer les grandes étapes de l'évolution d'un pays légendaire, le pays de la reine de Saba. Cette terre a vu l'émergence de royaumes et de cités dont le développement fut le résultat d'une maitrise avancée de l'agriculture irriguée et de l'accroissement du commerce caravanier puis maritime des…

This Open Access book explains that after long periods of prehistoric research in which the importance of the archaeological as well as the natural context of rock art has been constantly underestimated, research has now begun to take this context into focus for documentation, analysis, interpretation and understanding. Human footprints are prominent among the long-time under-researched features of the context in caves with rock art. In order to compensate for this neglect an innovative research program has been established several years ago that focuses on the merging of indigenous knowledge and western archaeological science for the benefit of both sides. The book gathers first the methodological diversity in the analysis of human tracks. Here major representatives of anthropological, statistical and traditional approaches feature the multi-layered methods available for the analysis of human tracks. Second it compiles case studies from around the globe of prehistoric human tracks. For the first time, the most important sites which have been found worldwide are published in a single publication. The third focus of this book is on firsthand experiences of researchers with indigenous tracking experts from around the globe, expounding on how archaeological sciencecan benefit from the ancestral knowledge. This book will be of interest to professional archaeologists, graduate students, ecologists, cultural anthropologists and laypeople, especially those focussing on hunting-gathering and pastoralist communities and who appreciate indigenous knowledge.

"Drawing in the Land offers an important contribution to the field of rock art research and Australian archaeology. It provides a detailed study of the previously under-examined rock art of the Hawkesbury/Nepean area of New South Wales. The study presents a detailed historiography of Australian rock art research and, through the lens of landscape archaeology, offers an innovative contribution to rock art studies in the wider Sydney Basin.The volume’s theoretical focus on materiality, embodied practice and performance allows for the charting of ideational change and provides a unique contribution to the late Holocene archaeology of NSW and contact archaeology within Australia more broadly."

La genèse des premières écritures suscite toujours beaucoup d’intérêt et reste souvent mal comprise. Ce colloque a eu pour ambition de faire se rencontrer des spécialistes qui travaillent sur différents systèmes graphiques attestés au IVe millénaire en Égypte. Ils ont examinés différents supports d’image à cette période, en Égypte et avec des comparatifs en Mésopotomie, avant de s’interroger aussi sur le lien entre l’écrit et l’image, la pratique graphique impliquée et le contexte socio-culturel dans lequel cette transformation s’est produite et le statut du signe. Il semble en effet que la relation entre le signe et le support puisse être une clef de compréhension. Des pistes très prometteuses et novatrices sont ouvertes par la prise en compte des techniques de mémorisation de performances orales liées à la pratique rituelle. The genesis of early writing has generated a geat deal of interest and is often misunderstood. The goal of this scientific meeting was to gather scholars working on different graphical systems attested during the 4th millenium BCE in Egypt. Different material supports have been taken into account for this period, in Egypt and with comparisons in Mesopotamia. The authors also investigate the link between image and writing, the social and cultural contexts within which this transformation occured and the status of the sign. Indeed, it seems that the relation between the sign and the material support might be a key of understanding. Several promising avenues have been pinpointed while taking into account of the memorization techniques of oral performance in ritual practice.

Western Arnhem Land, in the Top End of Australia's Northern Territory, has a rich archaeological landscape, ethnographic record and body of rock art that displays an astonishing array of imagery on shelter walls and ceilings. While the archaeology goes back to the earliest period of Aboriginal occupation of the continent, the rock art represents some of the richest, most diverse and visually most impressive regional assemblages anywhere in the world. To better understand this multi-dimensional cultural record, The Archaeology of Rock Art in Western Arnhem Land, Australia focuses on the nature and antiquity of the region's rock art as revealed by archaeological surveys and excavations, and the application of novel analytical methods. This volume also presents new findings by which to rethink how Aboriginal peoples have socially engaged in and with places across western Arnhem Land, from the north to the south, from the plains to the spectacular rocky landscapes of the plateau. The dynamic nature of Arnhem Land rock art is explored and articulated in innovative ways that shed new light on the region's deep time Aboriginal history.
