Les données actuelles sur le peuplement de la péninsule italienne suggèrent un retard dans l'acquisition des autapomorphies néandertaliennes, lié à leur isolement géographique. En Europe, les premiers traits dérivés néandertaliens apparaissent il y a environ 450 ka alors qu'en Italie les spécimens présentent une morphologie archaïque par la présence de plésiomorphies et les premières autapomorphies seront individualisées qu'à partir du MIS 9 (350 ka ca.). Ce livre propose une révision des restes fossiles mandibulaires italiens attribués à Homo neanderthalensis : Guattari 2, Guattari 3, Fate 2, Fate 3 et Archi 1, afin de les replacer dans le contexte évolutif européen à travers une analyse morphologique et morphométrique. De plus, la présence de spécimens immatures amène à l'analyse de la croissance mandibulaire, sujet qui divise la communauté scientifique : certains auteurs définissent l'ontogenèse néandertalienne similaire à celle de l'homme moderne et d'autres mettent en évidence des trajectoires évolutives divergentes basées sur une précocité de maturation chez les Néandertaliens.This book proposes a revision of Italian mandibular fossil remains attributed to Homo neanderthalensis - Guattari 2, Guattari 3, Fate 2, Fate 3 and Archi 1 - in order to place them in the European evolutionary context through a morphological and a morphometrical study.

This survey of Kentish vessel glass begins at the end of the late Roman period, and includes Roman glass vessels found in an Anglo-Saxon context. The period covered is approximately from the middle of the fifth century to the end of the seventh, althoughcertain material is included which may run on into the eighth century.The aim of this survey is to form an index/catalogue of early medieval glass vessels found in Kent since 1956 to December 1999 and to add later acquisitions. A further aim is to recordvessels which have been lost since 1956, and where feasible, to disclose the circumstances of loss, and the possibilities of eventual recovery. A final chapter includes new vessels found since completion of this work to 2005.

This thesis sets out to re-examine, define, and explore the art-style already occasionally referred to as the Saxon Relief Style. This style developed in certain Germanic areas of the continent out of provincial Roman ornament of the later fourth century AD.

This work presents systematic and objective examination of the large corpus of Hellenistic gold Eros jewellery. By focusing on the question of the interconnections between the major centres of production - Egypt, South Italy and South Russia, Western Asia Minor, Greece and Syria a number of regional schools and new jewellery groups are identified. The keys to the discussion are the well documented find contexts from Northern Greece, South Italy and Tel Atrib (Egypt) that make it possible to arrive at a relative chronology for a particular type of Eros, found throughout the Hellenistic world. The morphological, stylistic, iconographic and technical continuities between Hellenistic jewellery and in particular the Eros motif ensure the successful use of this methodology. Evidence from Koroni in Attica and from several South Italian tomb groups has been examined in detail and dated, according to the methodology described above to ca. 240 BC. The study includes a discussion of the significance of Eros in the Hellenistic period. The study has shown the value of Eros jewellery as an indicator of the cultural life of the Hellenistic world - its values, literature and basic lore about nature and the arts. The Eros motif and its morphological lineage are traced through related depictions in contemporaneous decorative arts. The catalogue has brought together as much material as possible to establish a typology and chronology of Eros jewellery in the hope that it will provide the maximum amount of information for future studies. 32 plates, including 12 in colour, illustrate the work.

The Andean civilisations grew in an isolated fashion, with almost no influence from the rest of the world or indeed from further north in the Americas. The various Andean states and empires all came to express themselves in highly original and different art styles, not least the Moche.

This volume looks at the development of social archaeology in Peru over the last century. The author lays aside scientific advances in archaeological interpretation, and highlights the influence of economic, social and political factors in how archaeology, as a discipline, has changed in Peru.
