Smith (Canada)<\/p>\n<p>Session Details<br \/>\n&#8220;Cleared&#8221; landscapes are the products and precedents of capitalist and colonial projects around the world. In some cases (for example, Scotland, Ireland, Australia), people were evicted from long inhabited landscapes. In others (for example New England, Southern Africa) intensively utilized landscapes were constructed by newcomers as wild and empty.<\/p>\n<p>It is not only outsiders who clear landscapes. People may themselves choose to avoid, abandon, or desert places for reasons ranging from religion to conflict to disease. Remembered Homelands of diasporic peoples can take on a sacredness in the memory of the exiled. The deserted places retain cultural significance even when they are not being materiallly manipulated.<\/p>\n<p>Ethnography, folklore, oral tradition, and archaeology demonstrate clearly that these cleared landscapes were never empty. Even when people were removed from the landscape, places remained significant, and took on new significance, as sites of memory, history, and contest.<\/p>\n<p>In this session we propose to examine the complex and rich ways cleared landscapes have been created, inhabited, and endowed with significance. We suggest that attention to these landscapes help archaeologists expand our perceptions of the meanings of landscape and memory.<\/p>\n<p>Presentations<br \/>\nApartheid&#8217;s After Effects: Journey And Storytelling In Contested Landscapes<br \/>\nSven Ouzman (Anthropology Department, University of California Berkeley, USA) Wasta Est: The Land is Laid Waste<br \/>\nPeter Read (Centre for Cross Cultural Research, Old Canberra House, ANU, Australia)<br \/>\nNew Places For Old: The Re-inhabitation Of Cleared Landscapes In Northern Scotland<br \/>\nOlivia Lelong (Glasgow University Archaeological Research Division (GUARD), Scotland) Colonial Contact and Missionization on the West Coast of Ireland During the Potato Famine: The Deserted Village of Slievemore (Achill Island, Co.

Around the world, a diversity of landscape archaeologies proliferates.<br \/>\nYet the development of landscape archaeology has been characterised by a diversity of methodologies and theoretical perspectives, leading to the generation of at least three broad types. Two of these, associated generally with North America and the UK respectively, comprise<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; studies focussing upon documentary, especially cartographic, evidence, providing structuralist analyses of &#8216;space&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8211; empirical studies based upon field survey<\/p>\n<p>A third type, constituting a post-processual critique, has criticised such studies as providing only &#8216;histories of what happened to the landscape&#8217;, and has been especially associated with phenomenological perspectives and the re-interpretation of previous archaeological studies.<\/p>\n<p>A limitation common to all these approaches, particularly in historical archaeology, is a failure to acknowledge situations where landscapes were actively created. Although the term has generally been restricted to the historical period, such prehistoric and historical landscapes may be defined as &#8220;designed landscapes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This session is intended to encourage participants to consider alternate theoretical approaches that allow us to look more closely at how landscapes are designed and created. The session will bring together archaeological studies of designed landscapes from prehistoric and historical contexts around the world, with particular emphasis upon the following questions:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 how do we define designed landscapes?<br \/>\n\u00b7 how do current approaches to landscape studies limit archaeological perspectives on the creation, manipulation, and appropriation of landscapes over time?<br \/>\n\u00b7 how do we interpret and record designed landscapes archaeologically?<br \/>\n\u00b7 what is the relationship between regional schools of landscape archaeology and the archaeological material studied in those regions?<br \/>\n\u00b7 what is the role of human perception in the creation of a living environment? how is the perception of space and environment related to and intertwined with the physical manipulation of the landscape?<br \/>\n\u00b7 what are the advantages of treating landscapes as artifacts that may be actively created and manipulated?<\/p>\n<p>The session will offer participants the opportunity to review and reassess the value of theoretical perspectives applied over the previous two decades in a variety of geographical locations and archaeological contexts. The organizers thereby hope to stimulate a discussion of theoretical approaches to and current directions in landscape studies and, in particular, studies of designed landscapes and created spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<\/p>\n<p>Dan Hicks<br \/>\nDepartment of Archaeology<br \/>\nUniversity of Bristol<br \/>\n43 Woodland Road, Clifton, Bristol.

Concentration on physical attributes (boundaries, buildings, earthworks) can lead to the privileging of scientific or economic values of landscape at the expense of &#8216;softer&#8217; associative, personal and collective views. Ethnographical attributes tend to be sectoral, sometimes in an exclusive way. If a middle zone can be defined &#8211; where limited physicality underpins or is underpinned by perception, then new perceptions will be possible, and landscape appreciation and conservation will be more inclusive. This is not merely a search for ways to classify landscapes that do not fall into the conventional categories. It is a search for ways to describe another layer of meaning for any piece of landscape, in addition to any other label it may be given.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the questions that will be discussed at the session are:<\/p>\n<p>How do perceptions and values help to define the cultural character of landscapes? What is the relationship between what the eye sees, the mind perceives and the heart feels?<\/p>\n<p>Is a cultural landscape simply an accumulation of layers of meaning built up over time like stratigraphy on an archaeological site or layers of paint in an old house?<\/p>\n<p>How are subsequent layers of meaning influenced by previous layers, and vice versa? Are the oldest layers necessarily the more important, or more authentic? How can relative weights be given?<\/p>\n<p>How do different people &#8220;read&#8221; cultural landscapes, what languages do they use? Do conflicting measures of significance need to be resolved, or can we accept contradiction?<\/p>\n<p>What intimate knowledge of a place and its history is needed to be able to read a cultural landscape? Do people have to be &#8216;of&#8217; the landscape to see its cultural meaning?

Waterways&#8211;primarily rivers&#8211;afforded inland access, and the plains found there offered little resistance to the mass movements of people. For this session archaeologists from several subdisciplines will address the development of the Neolithic throughout Central Europe. Session participants, many of whom are native to Central Europe, utilize theories and methods which differ from those used in Great Britain or the United States. Waterways, food sources, migration and settlement, the advance of farming and interactions between farmers and hunter-gatherers are all topics under consideration. We hope to spark discussion on various aspects of Neolithic development in Central Europe and on differing methods and theoretical approaches used currently by archaeologists interpreting the past.<\/p>\n<p>Papers will be submitted ahead of the congress and posted on the web. The participants will present a brief synopsis of their papers and have a round table dicussion. Then the floor will be opened for questions and general discussion. Most of the participants are from Central European countries and we look forward to a lively consideration of the different theoretical approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Organizers:<br \/>\nPawel Valde-Nowak<br \/>\nInstitute of Archaeology and Ethnography<br \/>\nPolish Academy of Sciences<br \/>\nSlawkowska 17, PL-31016 Krakow<br \/>\nPoland<br \/>\nvalde@archeo.pan.krakow.pl<\/p>\n<p>Antonia Davidson<br \/>\nAmerican University<br \/>\nWashington, DC 20001<br \/>\ntonid@american.edu<\/p>\n<p>Presentations<br \/>\nLandscape Metaphors And Chipped-stone Technological Cycles In East Balkan Late Prehistory<br \/>\nTsoni Tsonev (Institute of Archaeology and Museum, 2 Saborna str., 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria) Prehistoric hunting and fishing in the Middle Danube Region<br \/>\nL\u00e1szl\u00f3 Bartosiewicz (Institute of Archaeological Sciences, Lor\u00e1nd E\u00f6tv\u00f6s University Budapest, Hungary)<br \/>\nBird Hunting In The Carpathian Basin With Special Reference To Neolithic Data From Hungary And Romania<br \/>\nErika Gal (Archaeological Research Institute, Hungarian Academy of Sciences) New perspectives on Neolithic enclosures in Central Europe<br \/>\nFran\u00e7ois Bertemes (Halle\/Germany) and Peter F.

Displaying wild animals for the benefit of human visitors, they are the site par excellence where ideas about human uniqueness, identity and otherness are communicated, negotiated and consumed. The history of zoo architecture, in particular, exemplifies how humans have experienced and represented the natural world in general and animals in particular.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, zoos have begun to receive the social-scientific attention they deserve from psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists and cultural historians. Archaeologists, too, are now contributing their distinct perspective to the debate. This is highly appropriate, given that archaeology has developed into a sophisticated social science dedicated to the study of material culture in prehistoric, historical and contemporary contexts, and that a focus on material instead of textual sources allows us to make the important distinction between what social actors say and what they actually do. For example, cage design of the Victorian zoo may be a &#8216;silent source&#8217; of historical information, but it is often more outspoken about late nineteenth-century human-animal relationships than verbal accounts can be.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, a number of interesting parallels exist between the discursive positions of archaeological objects and zoological creatures. Today, wild animals, just like antique vases or prehistoric handaxes, are exposed to similar discourses and practices in terms of illicit trade, conservation efforts and museological contextualization. Siberian tigers are talked about in the same way as Etruscan grave goods: they should not be stolen or traded, they should be carefully preserved and documented, they should be presented to the public. Why is it that we talk about such incredibly different worlds with one and the same set of words and metaphors? What does this similarity reveal of early twenty-first century attitudes towards authenticity and other illusions? What are the implications for heritage conservation and education practices?<\/p>\n<p>Contributions will deal with both contemporary and historical zoos and will touch upon a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives. Topics will include: social and historical approaches to the architecture of cages, the landscaping of wilderness and the design of authenticity, archaeological perspectives on zoos as ceremonial landscapes which play a crucial role in the reproduction of ontological notions such as the human-animal boundary, critical studies on preservation as a means of constructing memories, and the parallels between cultural and natural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Contacts:<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Kathryn Denning<br \/>\nPostdoctoral Research and Teaching Fellow<br \/>\nDepartment of Anthropology<br \/>\nMcMaster University<br \/>\n1280 Main Street West<br \/>\nHamilton, Ontario, Canada<br \/>\nL8S 4L9<br \/>\nTel: 001-905-525-9140, ext. 27078<br \/>\nFax: 001-905-522-5993<br \/>\nEmail: denning@mcmaster.ca<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Cornelius Holtorf<br \/>\nMarie Curie-Fellow of the European Commission<br \/>\nRiksantikvarie\u00e4mbetet<br \/>\nKunskapsavdelningen<br \/>\nBox 5405<br \/>\nSE-114 84 Stockholm<br \/>\nSweden<br \/>\nFax +46-8-5191 8595&gt;Phone +46-8-5191 8561<br \/>\nEmai:l cornelius.holtorf@raa.se<\/p>\n<p>TO VIEW ANY OF THE PAPERS IN THIS SESSION, PLEASE VISIT:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.logomancer.com\/aoz\/WAC%20papers\/WACsessionhome.htm<\/p>\n<p>Presentations<br \/>\n\u201cFace To Face With Real Objects\u201d: Skansen And The New Nationalism<br \/>\nSofia \u00c5kerberg (Dept. of Historical Studies, Ume\u00e5 University, Sweden) Creating Past Places and African Savannahs<br \/>\nTony Axelsson (Department of Archaeology, University of G\u00f6teborg, Sweden)<br \/>\nRepublican Values On The African Plains: Zoo Landscapes In Dublin And Accra<br \/>\nSarah Cross (English Heritage, UK) Drawing the dark: The evolution of captivity<br \/>\nKathryn Denning (Anthropology, McMaster, Canada)<br \/>\nExotic\/industrial Encounters In Bristol, 1730-1880<br \/>\nDan Hicks (Department of Archaeology, Bristol, UK) The politics and ethics of memory in Western zoos<br \/>\nCornelius Holtorf (Swedish National Heritage Board, Stockholm)<br \/>\nPictures In The Landscape: A View From An Aviary<br \/>\nMatt Edgeworth (Albion Archaeology, Bedford, UK) Is the archaeological open-air museum a zoo?<br \/>\nMartin Schmidt (State Museum of Lower Saxony, Hannover, Germany)<br \/>\nWhere Have The Monkeys Gone?

Individuals and groups of people construct the meaning of these features in the landscape. Their perception structures and constrains the understanding and interpretation of watery places and thus defines the way in which they relate themselves to these places. They may be conceived of as a source of nutrition and archaeological finds, as boundary markers, a barrier, a refuge, means of connecting people and goods, a sacred place, disposal place etc.<\/p>\n<p>In this session, we invite people to explore the practical and metaphorical significance of water landscapes in past societies across time and space.
