This is the first book to explore prehistoric warfare and violence by integrating qualitative research methods with quantitative, scientific techniques of analysis such as paleopathology, morphometry, wear analysis, and experimental archaeology. It investigates early warfare and violence from the standpoint of four broad, interdisciplinary themes: skeletal markers of interpersonal violence; conflict in prehistoric rock-art; the material evidence of Bronze Age warfare and violence; and the birth of armies in the Iron Age and beyond. The scope of the book has a wide-ranging chronological and geographic coverage, from early Neolithic to Late Iron Age and from Western Europe to East Asia.
El mundo funerario en el horizonte cardial valen- ciano. And Bertilsson 2016) speculative method of rock art recording than traditional manual approaches. The sword fragments were tested using a Monsanto Tensometer Balanced.
It includes world-renowned sites and artefact collections such as the Tollense Valley Bronze Age battlefield (Germany), the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Tanum (Sweden), and the British Museum collection of bronze weaponry from the late Shang period (China). Additionally original case studies are presented in each section by a diverse international authorship. The study of warfare and violence in prehistoric and pre-literate societies has been at the forefront of archaeological debate since the publication of Keeley’s provocative monograph War Before Civilization (Oxford 1996). The problem has been approached from a number of standpoints including anthropological and behavioral studies of interpersonal violence, osteological examinations of sharp lesions and blunt-force traumas, wear analysis of ancient weaponry, and field experiments with replica weapons and armor. This research, however, is often confined within the boundaries of the various disciplines and specialist fields. In particular, a deep gulf still divides research approaches grounded in the humanities and social sciences from those based on the scientific analysis of human remains and material culture. The consequence is that, to this day, the subject is dominated by a number of undemonstrated assumptions regarding the nature of warfare, combat and violence in non-literate societies as well as the lack of functionality (or effectiveness) of early bronze weaponry and armor.
Moreover, important methodological questions remain unanswered: can we securely distinguish between violence-related and accidental trauma on skeletal remains? To what extent can wear analysis shed light on long-forgotten fighting styles? Can we design meaningful combat tests based on historic martial arts?
And can the study of rock-art unlock the social realities of prehistoric warfare? By breaking the mold of entrenched subject boundaries, this edited volume promotes interdisciplinary debate in the study of prehistoric warfare and violence by presenting a number of innovative approaches that integrate qualitative and quantitative methods of research and analysis.
Remanufactured Curemeters by CCSi CCSi remanufactures many of the most popular rheological instruments. The curemeter (rheometer and viscometer) is a quality instrument that can provide reliable test data providing it is properly and routinely maintained. Considering the extensive use and the average age of most curemeters in the field, many have reached a point where normal maintenance may no longer support reliability, accuracy, and repeatability of the instruments. Maintenance costs may be approaching the expense of totally rebuilding the instrument. CCSi offers a detailed and comprehensive rebuilding program. This is not a reconditioning of the instrument, but a total rebuilding, inclusive of many upgrades that bring the instrument's capability in line with its newer counterparts, at a fraction of the cost.
The instruments are offered on an exchange basis and are quoted individually. A purchase plan can be tailored to suit budgetary considerations including, short and long term lease and lease—purchase options. Rebuilt rheometer models TM—100, R—100, R—100S and viscometer models M—1500, M—1300, M—1200, STI—90, are in stock and ready for immediate delivery! The value of your trade—in, if any, will substantially affect the end cost of a rebuilt instrument.
Some curemeters employ an existing integral data recorder (included in a rebuilt instrument). Others employ an external data recorder (not included with a rebuilt instrument).
