London: Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-323-90799-6.00124-5  ABSTRACT - This entry proposes a synthesis of the history of archaeology over the last few centuries, dividing the narrative into five major periods.  Professionalism is discussed in four areas: universities, museums, archaeological heritage services, and development- led archaeology. The political context of interest in the past and the social base of archaeology is explained by discussing political doctrines such as nationalism, and suggesting the increasing integration of women into the discipline. The relationship between archaeology and the public is examined and the effect of neoliberalism on archaeology is analyzed. | SECTIONS: Introduction 25; Overview and Key Issues 26; $ Precedents 26; $ Antiquities and the Emergence of the Modern State (1789–1870s) 27; $ Archaeology and Nationalism (1870s–1945) 28; $ The Archaeology of the Cold War (1945–1989) 29; $ The Archaeology of Neoliberalism (1989–Today) 30; Summary and Future Directions 32; References 32; Further Reading 35

Papers in Honour of Antonio Gilman Guillén, edited by  Pedro Díaz-del-Río, Katina Lillios, & Inés Sastre, 41-53. Madrid: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas. ABSTRACT - This article provides a historical overview of the interest in archaeological methods and theory. Starting with nineteenth-century positivism, attention will be paid to a preoccupation with methods at the turn of the century and the appearance of a focus on theory in the 1930s. Moving from the UK to the US, the proposals made by the generations preceding the appearance of the New Archaeology paradigm in the 1940s and 1950s will be briefly described. The context that made possible the emergence of the New Archaeology is then explained and sorne ideas about when its might began to diminish will also be given. The ultimate aim of this article is to serve as a context for understanding the situation of theoretical archaeology at the time in which Antonio Gilman learned about the profession and practiced it. The article finishes with sorne thoughts on archaeological paradigms.

The acoustics of aggregation sites: listening to the rock art landscape of Cuevas de la Araña (Spain). Journal of Field Archaeology 48 (2): 130-143 - Since the 1980s, research into aggregation sites has focused on the material dimension of the archaeological record and has thus led to an incomplete view of the prehistoric reality. Early communities chose sites for many reasons. In this article, we explore the possibility that something as immaterial in nature as the acoustics of the sites may have influenced the selective choices made by the prehistoric peoples who created and used rock art in these meeting places. Employing the Impulse Response (IR) methodology, we systematically analyze the acoustic properties of Cuevas de la Araña, an aggregation site in eastern Spain with Levantine rock art, and 16 satellite sites in its surroundings. The results indicate that the acoustics of La Araña could have been important for creating affective engagement through musical performances carried out during the production and use of rock art, as well as for the choice of the site as a meeting place for Levantine populations

Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.September 5-7, 2023. 10.1109/I3DA57090.2023.10289188. | ABSTRACT - Since the end of the 19th century, scholars have highlighted the importance of rock art as a priceless heritage that may provide clues about the cultural and spiritual practices of prehistoric societies. However, most studies developed so far have focused only on the materiality of such archaeological remains. In this sense, the ERC Artsoundscapes project –funded by the European Research Council (H2020 programme, Grant Number 787842)– aims at exploring the intangible dimension of rock art sites in relation to auditory experience. Through a multidisciplinary approach comprising archaeological research, ethnomusicology, impulse response measurements, psychoacoustic tests based on auralisations and neuropsicological tests, the project investigates the role of sound and emotion in relation to the sacred by recovering the acoustic heritage of rock art sites in several rock art landscapes of the world. In this paper, we present a case study centred on the El Tajo de las Figuras (Cádiz, Spain), one of the most remarkable rock art sites of the Iberian Peninsula. The results indicate the presence of reverberation, which is especially relevant when considering its small size and, that the site is partially open. This, along with the great strength values obtained, suggests that the shelter morphology could have contributed to creating an acoustic environment suitable for reproducing certain types of music and rhythms that prehistoric people might have used in ceremonies and rituals potentially developed in this decorated space.  | Keywords—archaeoacoustics, acoustic measurements, auralisations, rock art. | Sections: I.

Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.September 5-7, 2023. 1-8.Abstract - The Artsoundscapes project seeks to understand the role of acoustics in the selection by past communities of certain environments to set activities involving rock art production. Within this framework, this article addresses the subjective perception of the acoustics of two rock art sites located in Cádiz (Spain): Diosa I and Horadada. The psychoacoustics of these two rock art sites is investigated by means of two separate listening tests. In the first test, a group of participants develops a corpus of words to subjectively describe the acoustic features of the selected sites. In the second test, a different group of participants rates the descriptors assigned by the first group. The auralizations, rendered via a third order Ambisonics speaker array, consisted of ten sounds of different characteristics (including singing, speech and music) convolved with a set of impulse responses gathered at the selected sites.

Díaz-Andreu, M. 2023. Visigothic Archaeology. An example the influence of National Socialism in Spain? In Eickhoff, M.; Modl, D.; Meheux, K. & Nuijten, E. (eds.) National Socialist Archaeology in Europe and its Legacies: 463-484. Cham: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-28024-5_20. |  - This chapter will analyse the political use of archaeology in the years before, during and after the National Socialist takeover in Germany, using Visigothic archaeology in Spain as a case study. It examines some of the issues discussed by previous authors and evaluates their hypotheses; it will also nuance some of the findings proposed to date. It is usually assumed that by revealing the conservative ideology of scholars working on the archaeology of the Visigoths in Spain, we can explain the bias present in both earlier studies and in subsequent archaeological practice. However, this chapter proposes that whilst we should acknowledge that most of these Spanish archaeologists had a conservative ideology, regardless of their involvement in Visigothic archaeology, literature of the period usually gives very few clues to this bias. Modern analysts have tended to emphasise the limited comments they find in publications without explaining that they are, in fact, exceptions. This chapter will use contextual information about the practice of Visigothic archaeology to reveal past political biases at play within the discipline. It is argued that this information is crucial for understanding the relationship between politics and archaeology in Spain during the years the National Socialist party was in power in Germany. | Keywords - Visigothic archaeology · Right-wing politics · National Socialism · Falange · Francisco Franco regime · Opportunism | Introduction | German Archaeology in Spain – A Brief Overview | Foreign Archaeologists and Visigothic Spain | Visigothic Archaeology in Spain in the 1920s | Visigothic Archaeology in Spain in the 1930s | Conclusion

DOI: 10.1080/2159032X.2022.2098653  ABSTRACT This article explores the potential of social media in disseminating and communicating archaeological knowledge and the ways in which their impact on the public can be enhanced through marketing plans. It examines the implementation of such a plan in the context of the Facebook page of the ERC Advanced Grant project “The sound of special places: exploring rock art soundscapes and the sacred” (acronym: Artsoundscapes). Using quantitative and qualitative data provided by the Facebook Insights altmetrics tool, the article evaluates the performance of the Artsoundscapes page and measures the effectiveness of the marketing plan. It discusses the components of marketing plans with emphasis on a carefully designed content strategy that, in the case of the Artsoundscapes Facebook page, in only 19 months of existence has resulted in the organic development of an active online community. The marketing plan has contributed to raising awareness of the Artsoundscapes project and an emerging branch of archaeology - the archaeoacoustics of rock art sites. It rapidly and engagingly disseminates the project’s activities and outcomes among both specialist and non-specialist audiences, and informs the non-specialist public about relevant advances in the multiple fields that intersect in it. The article concludes that social media are effective means for archaeologists and archaeological organizations and projects to reach various audiences, and that marketing plans significantly augment this process.

Navas-Perrone, Maria Gabriela, and Margarita Díaz-Andreu. 2024. "The role of heritage in the entrepreneurial city: the case of the Cosme Toda factory in L'Hospitalet."  In Prague – Heritages. Past and Present - Built and Social, edited by  Jitka Cirklová, 481-492. Prage: Czech Technical University & AMPS. 

This article offers an innovative approach to analyzing the role of industrial heritage in urban commodification, taking L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (shortened as L'Hospitalet or L'H) as a case study. The discussion will center on one of L'Hospitalet’s main industrial enterprises in the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries, the former Cosme Toda ceramics factory, whose production is now redeveloped. L’Hospitalet is the second most populous city in Catalonia, second only to Barcelona. It is located within the Barcelona metropolitan area, which includes both cities together with 36 other municipalities. It is located southwest of the capital of Catalonia, Barcelona, and both have historically had a center-periphery relationship. Since the end of the twentieth century,  L'Hospitalet's former industrial zones have been converted into urban areas in order to strengthen the city’s conversion into an economic centrality. The increase in real estate and growing speculative pressure have led to conflicts over the conservation of buildings listed as industrial heritage. Therefore, this study analyzes the conflictive relationship between the institutional criteria of heritage preservation, the interests of the real-estate market and citizens’ heritage-related demands. Inspired by the conceptual division proposed by Henri Lefebvre1 between the city planned by specialists and the city lived by its inhabitants, we explore the role of heritage as a field of dispute. The conclusions aim to provide a few analytical keys to rethink the role of heritage within the urban dynamics of the entrepreneurial city.

https://polipapers.upv.es/index.php/var/article/view/16998. Extended Abstract: - Since the 1980s different approaches have been followed to analyse the spatial distribution of rock art shelters and their relationship to the construction of social landscapes by prehistoric societies. These approaches focus on finding out the clues that shelters offer as to how symbolic landscapes were structured or whether these were chosen following visual preferences. Previous work on post-Palaeolithic art in the Iberian Peninsula has used Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a tool for analysis. However, sometimes, the results obtained reveal some contradictions, which could be linked to either the low resolution of the cartography available when those models were designed or to the random treatment of data. / This paper attempts to overcome these contradictions by focusing on macroschematic rock art (ARM, in its Spanish acronym), an artistic manifestation with a well-defined geographical location —north of the province of Alicante (Spain)— and chronological framework —Cardial Early Neolithic; ca. 5600-5200 cal BC—. In order to analyse the symbolic and sensory landscapes generated around this artistic manifestation, different scales of analysis (Chippindale, 2004) have been implemented. / ... / Lastly, a set of GIS analytical tools have been applied to model the visual and sound perception of and from the macroschematic rock art shelters. To avoid distortions as identified in similar reconstructions carried out in previous works a prior assessment of the cartographic requirements has been made. Regarding the visibility issue, the methodology of the GIS analysis conducted has been finetuned by adding the following factors: visual field and range. For its modelling, the Individual Distance Viewshed tool designed by Fábrega-Álvarez & Parcero-Oubiña (2019) for ESRI ArcGis 10.5 has been used. In the analysis of sonority variables related to musicality, as documented in the archaeological and anthropological record, alongside technical issues associated with the propagation of sound in outdoor spaces, have been considered. For the GIS study of sound propagation Sound Mapping Tools v. 4.4 for ESRI ArcGis 10.5 (Reed et al., 2012) has been applied. This analytical work has permitted the mapping of sensory-related aspects for each site, thus facilitating a cross-site comparative analysis which has ultimately led to the identification of interesting recurrences and differences.

Strifeldt (eds.), Perspectives on Differences in Rock Art.  London, Equinox: 244-265.  ABSTRACT: This article provides an overview of information gathered from ethnographic accounts regarding how premodern groups around the world understand sound in rock art landscapes. The data has been divided into three main sections: sounds related to the production of rock art, sounds produced by lithophones and sonorous landscapes, and sounds produced by spirits believed to inhabit the rocks. The article ends with a reflection on the possibilities and limitations of archaeoacoustic interpretation in the Western Mediterranean – an area in which there are no informed sources.

Sounds related to the production and use of rock art; 2.2. Rock art lithophones & beliefs and customs associated to them; 2.3. Sounds produced by spirits living in the rocks; 3. Interpreting prehistoric rock art landscapes in the central and western Mediterranean; 4. Conclusions.

The unpublished field notes on Native American Yokuts cultures and languages taken by linguist and ethnologist John P. Harrington in 1914-1942, now kept at the Smithsonian Institution, are analysed in the framework of Edward S. Caseýs concept of mapping with/ in. The Yokuts' process of mapping tripni places (powerful places) with/in their ancestral territories during the early twentieth century is discussed, paying particular attention to the role of hearing and sound. Moreover, in these archival materials, Yokuts tribal members relate with different bodies of water in an absorptive and porous way, with sound being part of a complex haptic and multi-sensory process. By listening to the testimonies of the Yokuts tribal members who collaborated with Harrington, we argue that sound perception, song, and the sense of hearing played a key role in the process of mapping tripni.

In this article, written within the framework of the European Curbatheri-Deep Cities project, we explain our thoughts on new ways of approaching the conservation of urban heritage in the cities of Barcelona (Sant Andreu) and London (Woolwich). Although special emphasis has been placed on historical methods to describe, interpret and evaluate the urban heritage defined by historical transformations, less attention has been paid to the way in which the knowledge and uses contributed by society can be integrated. In this sense, the use of different ethnographic methodologies as an instrument for fostering dialogue between stakeholders.

This article argues that the recent emphasis on quantitative methods should also include the application of rigorous science-based methodologies for the study of sound and acoustics among past communities. The benefits of including methods developed in acoustical physics have been shown with the analysis of the rock art landscape in the Cañón de Santa Teresa gorge in Baja California Sur (Mexico), where the Great Mural rock art tradition was produced. Thanks to a thorough examination of a series of monaural and binaural acoustic parameters, we have been able to conclude that the artists selected the best sonic landscapes in which to create their rock art, both paintings and carvings, especially the latter. We have also been able to demonstrate that the sector of the canyon with a special concentration of two profusely painted caves, Cueva Pintada and Las Flechas, is precisely that with the most favorable acoustic conditions in the whole tested area. A video explaining this Project can be seen on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdG8Sl9zGJw&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR1682ozQo4OpMmKaHG2PX0Jk5r3hXHrQwbQ2Z8HZfd4XKnROgWvAT3qZ_Q

How important is the influence of spatial acoustics on our mental processes related to sound perception and cognition? There is a large body of research in fields encompassing architecture, musicology, and psychology that analyzes human response, both subjective and objective, to different soundscapes. But what if we want to understand how acoustic environments influenced the human experience of sound in sacred ritual practices in premodern societies? Archaeoacoustics is the research field that investigates sound in the past. One of its branches delves into how sound was used in specific landscapes and at sites with rock art, and why past societies endowed a special significance to places with specific acoustical properties. Taking advantage of the advances made in sound recording and reproduction technologies, researchers are now exploring how ancient social and sacred ceremonies and practices related to the acoustic properties of their sound environment. Here, we advocate for the emergence of a new and innovative discipline, experimental psychoarchaeoacoustics. We also review underlying methodological approaches and discuss the limitations, challenges, and future directions for this new field.

This chapter is based on work that took place as part of the European Network on Heritage Values (H(a>V), a project funded by the JPI-JPHE Pilot Programming on Cultural Heritage and Global Change. One of the central aims of this project is to unfold the transnational and interdisciplinary meanings of the rather ambiguous but extensively used concept of heritage value. Within the framework of this project, the chapter aims to explore where heritage value resides in the heritage management field. It will do this by mapping the epistemological geographies of heritage value - that is, how heritage value is understood, defined and used across different disciplines. The chapter will not focus on how other stakeholders, such as policymakers, the wider public and heritage visitors, understand the term “heritage value” since this has been explored by recent research (e.g. Fouseki and Sakka, 2013) and since there is still scope for further developments in this area. The chapter argues that heritage value constitutes an ambiguous concept in heritage management and that this ambiguity may lead to misunderstandings, miscomm unicat ions and, consequently, mismanagement. Reser and Bentrupperbdumer (2005) have illustrated the consequences of the ambiguity of the term “value” in the context of natural heritage sites. A similar study does not exist for cultural heritage places. The chapter is directed towards this gap in the literature by aiming to understand how “heritage value”, a term that is largely used by heritage professionals and academics, is discussed in different disciplines.

This article reviews evidence for relationships between acoustics and rock art by examining the antiquity and nature of such relationships, then examining evidence for music depicted or engraved in rock art. This is followed by a summary of the remains of actual musical instruments found at rock art sites, including lithophones found at or close to rock art. The sonority of rock art landscapes is then assessed, first in those cases where natural elements can unleash special sonorous effects and then in places where exceptional acoustics have been selected for the creation of artworks. The authors conclude that a consideration of sound is common in the placement of rock art and that it should therefore be more routinely considered when recording rock art. The significance of sound in social relations and religious activities makes this aspect of rock art sites essential for understanding the societies that produced it.

Résumé - La falaise de Baume Brune s’allonge sur 900m environ, au nord de la plaine drainée par le Calavon et au pied des monts de Vaucluse. On y dénombre 43 abris naturels dont 10 ont été marqués par des figures peintes appartenant à l’iconographie schématique du Néolithique. Les abris peints sont choisis, ici comme ailleurs, selon quatre critères qui sont leur position dominante, leur orientation méridionale, la couleur « rouge » de leurs parois et leur humidité épisodique. Toutefois, si ces critères s’appliquent aux abris peints, ils conviennent aussi à certains abris qui ne portent aucun motif. Ces critères peuvent aussi n’être ni ostensibles, ni évidents sur un abri peint. C’est le cas des concrétions qui trahissent des ruissellements systématiques après les pluies mais qui ne sont pas automatiquement de grand volume. Souligner de rouge ces concrétions sert peut-être à mettre en exergue l’activité hygrophile de ces abris peints. L’iconographie détermine sans doute aussi le choix des supports et à Baume Brune, il semble qu’on a voulu séparer les grands thèmes de l’expression schématique : des abris où serait prépondérante la représentation du personnage ou de l’idole ou du quadrupède. Enfin, dans l’idée que ce sont des sites plus marqués qu’ornés, que ce sont des sites dont la finalité de leur visite n’est peut-être pas de décorer les parois mais aussi d’être le lieu d’autres pratiques dont certaines seraient sonores, une analyse de l’acoustique externe et interne pour l’ensemble de la falaise et des abris a été réalisée. En règle générale, les espaces et les abris marqués de motifs peints sont aussi ceux où l'acoustique est amplifiée grâce aux réflexions du son sur les parois rocheuses.

This article aims to discuss the interaction between archaeology and contemporary migration s in the context of social cohesion, and the ethical implications that follow from this interaction. Archaeological heritage is one of the means by which today's societies foster the formation and recreation of collective identities. In the following pages an examination will be made of the extent to which archaeological heritage is also able –or potentially able- to fulfil this role for recent immigrants, even when the heritage is not one produced by their genetic ancestors. After a review of the links between archaeological heritage and nationalism, some thought will be given to the potential of archaeology to create a sense of place and to nurture well-being. Some of the initiatives undertaken in different parts of Europe aimed at integrating migrants into archaeological activities and promoting their sense of belonging will be identified. Attention will then focus on Catalonia and on the practices undertaken to actively create citizenship with a social inclusion agenda.

Many societies give special importance to places where echoes are generated, and often these places receive special treatment including the production of rock paintings in them. The identification of the exact places where echoes come from, or echolocation, is an ability only shared by a few individuals in each community. Unfortunately for archaeologists, however, their activity leaves no trace in the archaeological record. In this article we propose that the Ambisonics technique, a method developed in the field of acoustical physics, can be applied to identify the likely use of echolocation among societies for which no ethnographic information remains, such as most of those who lived in prehistoric Europe. A description of how this method has been applied in two case studies, the rock art landscapes of Baume Brune (Vaucluse, France) and Valle d’Ividoro (Puglia, Italy), is provided. In these two echoing areas only a few shelters were chosen to be painted with Schematic art, leaving around them many others undecorated. In the description of the fieldwork phase of the test, issues related to the sound source, the sound recorder, and spherical camera and how the Impulse Response (IR) measurement was made are discussed. The processed results indicate that there was a positive relationship between sound-reflecting surfaces and the location of rock art. This leads us to propose that in both areas there is a strong probability of echolocation having been employed by Neolithic people to select the shelters in which to produce rock art. The results obtained in our study also have wider implications in our understanding of how prehistoric peoples perceived the landscape in which they lived in, understood not only on the basis of tangible elements but, perhaps more importantly, because of intangible aspects such as sound and, in particular, echoes.

In this article the connection between archaeology and nationalism, colonialism and imperialism is discussed. Two major periods are identified, the first being the nineteenth century and first decades of the following century, and the second the period after decolonization. It is argued that nationalism is ideology that constituted the basis for a new understanding of imperialism and also for what happened after decolonization

This article focuses on the augmented audibility of distant sounds that is experienced in some rock art sites. We propose a method developed in acoustical physics to measure this acoustic phenomenon, the Transmission Loss (TL) analysis. We have assessed the validity of the method in our study area, the Sierra de San Serván in the region of Extremadura (Spain), an area where from the hundreds of shelters only sixty five were decorated with Schematic art during prehistory. The analysis undertaken in it has provided unequivocal data that indicate that augmented audibility of distant sounds seemed to be a factor considered by the prehistoric artists for the selection of rock art shelters to paint in. This is especially made clear when a comparison between the results obtained in shelters with rock art and others in the same area without it is made. From all the sites one stands out, that of Las Palomas 2, with the best results. This site is also special for other features that no other site in the area has in terms of difficult access and high visibility.

Behind the discussions leading up to the organisation of the event was the belief that, although from its very beginnings archaeology as a field of study has been greatly exposed to international currents and influences, the global flux of ideas is not sufficiently acknowledged in the histories of archaeology. The aim of the session, therefore, was to focus on international contacts and how, throughout the history of the discipline, they have fostered change, not only in relation to new archaeological theories, but also as regards techniques, methods and practices. Aspects to be discussed were the means by which these new ideas and practices travelled, including international congresses, publications, translations, correspondence, talks given by foreign scholars, and PhD studies abroad. An alternative question speakers were asked to think about was whether it was enough for ideas to move from one country to another, as reception of them could be fostered or, on the contrary, prevented by many circumstances that needed to be considered. A final question under discussion was the movement of ideas under colonial and imperial conditions. PUBLISHED IN:n G. Delley, M. Díaz-Andreu, F. Djindjian, V. Fernández, A. Guidi, and M. A.

This article analyses whether the development of classical archaeology  in Spain and Italy was connected during the 1920s, at a time when both countries were ruled by right-wing dictatorships. Despite having similar political regimes, it will be argued that each of these two countries understood the essence of the nation in contrasting ways: whereas the concept of ‘Romanità’ was considered of prime importance in Italy, the focus in Spain was on the Catholic past. It will be argued that this difference was behind the divergences that this article will identify regarding how archaeology was perceived and funded in each country.

This article assesses the degree of implementation of one of the requirements in the Operational Guidelines of the World Heritage Centre: the participation of local communities in the nomination and management of World Heritage properties. It begins by looking at the historical background of participatory and bottom-up approaches to heritage management in the context of international institutions, and particularly that of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre. The examination of one particular case study, rock art properties in Spain, is then undertaken. It will be argued that there is an apparent mismatch between the letter of the different agreements and what is being achieved for the four properties considered: the Cave of Altamira and the Palaeolithic Cave Art of Northern Spain (UNESCO Property Number 330); the Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin on the Iberian Peninsula (ARAMPI) (UNESCO Property Number 874); and the Prehistoric Rock Art Sites in the Côa Valley and Siega Verde (UNESCO Property Number 866). It will be argued that better systems of monitoring and evaluation are needed to ensure that local communities are actually being taken into account in World Heritage sites.

Archaeoacoustics refers to the field of study concerned with the effects of sound in past societies. Scholars interested in acoustics try to understand the human past beyond its materiality by recovering a set of less evident, less tangible cultural signs relating to the sense of hearing. Of the many  contexts in which the intangible evidence of acoustics can be  analysed, this paper pays attention to its expression in rock art. Our aim is to explore the quantitative analyses undertaken for the study of acoustics in rock art landscapes by focusing on the three main lines of evidence that rock art researchers are following: (i) landscapes with special naturally occurring sounds; (ii) lithophones, ringing rock, and rock gongs; (iii) intentionally produced sound. Three acoustic effects have been usually subjected to quantitative measurement: echoes, resonance, and reverberation. We will argue that not all lines of evidence have been explored in equal measure by scholars and that there are specific types of acoustic measurements and analysis, the potential of which are still to be assessed.

In this article, ethnicity is defined as that aspect of a person’s self-conceptualization and his or her conceptualization by other individuals that results from identification with one or more broader groups, on the basis of perceived cultural differentiation and belief in a common descent. This definition understands ethnicity as multidimensional, situational, and fluid and makes its link with material culture much more complex than traditionally perceived. Within the last decade, the term ‘community’ has been introduced into archaeology to refer to a social collective that shares a geographical space and many have agreed that it is a useful concept. For archaeologists, talking about communities instead of ethnic groups circumvents the problem of assigning an ethnic identity to groups for which only material culture remains.

Abstract. This article focuses on the relationship between acoustics and rock art in Levantine art in Mediterranean Spain. It takes as a case study three rock art areas where Levantine-style rock art was produced: the Valltorta Gorge (Castellón), the Mortero Gorge (Teruel) and the Godall mountains (Tarragona). The study centres on the analysis of reverberation and echoes. In each area a comparison was made between the acoustic properties of sections of the area with rock art and of others with none. Different sounds were also tested in order to identify which possible instruments had the best chance of producing a sensory reaction. Although we cannot hypothesise on the specific practices that may have taken place in these areas, we conclude with the proposition that the acoustic properties of a site indicate a sacred use of the landscape, in which sound was a key element of ritual performance.

Abstract - This article analyses the archaeology in the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco throughout its history. After a historical background of the nature and development of Spanish colonialism in North Africa, information about the archaeology in the first years of the Spanish Protectorate in North Morocco are given, both before and after the Civil War. The academic and political manoeuvres that brought a bright young archaeologist to Tétouan, Miguel Tarradell Mateu (or Miquel Tarradell i Mateu, in Catalan), is then discussed. Tarradell’s main successes for the understanding of the historical development of the area up to the end of the Roman period will be contrasted with the way Tarradell felt about living in Africa. The article concludes with a discussion of events after decolonisation and a discussion of the nature of Spanish colonialism in North Morocco and of Spanish academia. The aim of this article, therefore, is not to detail the scientific discussions taking place about interpretation of the past, but the social, political and economic context in which these took place.

Comment se transmettent les connaissances en archéologie ? Comment les idées, les théories et les hypothèses sont-elles diffusées entre chercheurs ? De nombreuses façons, dont les deux principales sont : oralement (enseignements, cours, conférences, congrès) et par écrit (écrits publics tels que publications, comptes-rendus et citations, et écrits privés, par exemple les lettres). Toutefois, l’efficacité de ces moyens ne peut être comprise sans mentionner les relations personnelles. En effet, celles-ci jouent un rôle essentiel dans la transmission car, comme le disait Childe dans un autre contexte, “mêmes les hommes de science sont prédisposés en faveur de ce qu’ils ont vus et écouté”  Dans cet article, notre cas d’étude s’est centré sur le préhistorien abbé Henri Breuil et ses élèves Miles Burkitt (1890-1971), Mary Boyle (1881-1974) et Dorothy Garrod (1892-1968).

This article examines the origins and development of three institutions which dealt with prehistory in Western Europe at the start of the twentieth century. These three institutions the Parisian Institut de Paléontologie Humaine (IPH), the Comisión de Investigaciones Paleontológicas y Prehistóricas (CIPP) based in Madrid and the Italian Comitato per le ricerche di Paleontologia Umana (CRPU). The analysis undertaken goes beyond the narrow nation-state perspective, for it is argued that the almost simultaneous establishment of these three institutions can be understood as an example of transnationalism. The article also deals with globalization and glocalization and how these concepts can illuminate the history of archaeological institutions.

What for? Who for?
Archaeologists are currently arguing that archaeology needs to engage with the public. However, this is easier said than done. One of the obvious ways to engage the public is to support the creation of memory (Wilson 2009 ), and the literature and examples this chapter show how easy this is in a nationalist context. However, how can archaeology create memory in the case of recent immigrants from distant places? This question is of pressing importance, given the massive change in the social makeup of many countries in the Western world.
Perhaps the answer lies in seeing history, and therefore archaeology, as a way of building constructive citizenship (cf. Copeland 2009 ).

This paper provides a brief historical survey of the use of “value” in Spanish heritage legislation from the eighteenth century onwards. The widening of the typology of values in the Heritage Act passed in 1985 was mirrored by subsequent legislation from the seventeen autonomous communities or regional governments into which Spain is divided administratively. The last part of the paper focuses on the way values have changed over the past twenty years. It discusses the novel emphasis on social and economic values in the particular case of Catalonia.

This paper explores the potential of acoustics to interpret the prehistoric rock art of southern Andalusia (Spain). Tests undertaken in two areas, north of the Celemín river and the Bacinete area, will form the basis of our discussion. The results obtained at a selection of rock art sites show that the two key rock art sites, El Tajo de las Figuras and the large shelter at Bacinete, both with the majority of paintings in the earlier Laguna de la Janda style, had good resonance values. In contrast, at most of the other minor sites tested, the values for resonance were negative or insignificant, regardless of whether they were painted in Laguna de la Janda or schematic style. We conclude that the major rock art sites in southern Andalusia were chosen not only for their geological appearance and location in the landscape, but also for their acoustic properties.

Archaeological tourism and ethics are two fields that, with exceptions, scholars have been reluctant to combine. There is, however, an increasing concern on the general subject of tourism and ethics and this article will draw examples from Latin America to explore the intersection between both. An overview of the history of archaeological tourism in Latin America will be provided. A growing number of archaeologists all over Latin America are becoming active in promoting or assisting the conversion of sites into tourist attractions. For some, it is a way of protecting sites in the face of the dangers brought about by uncontrolled tourism and for others helping locals to earn a living is a humanitarian question. Yet, archaeological remains are not neutral, but powerful means of creating historical memory and identity. Tourism becomes a means of advertising and even of legitimizing the existence of groups and that politicizes archaeologists’ engagement with tourism. This politicization represents an ethical challenge for the profession. Also, the conversion of archaeological ruins into tourist attractions can only be made through the commodification of culture. This has been denounced by some scholars as another postcolonial appropriation and neoliberal method of controlling indigenous groups, but hailed by others as a good thing for indigenous communities as it provides them with a living.

ABSTRACT - This article explores the relevance of acoustics as a factor for in the production and active use of Levantine rock art in Spain. The renowned rock art area of La Valltorta Gorge serves as a case study. Two experiments are described; the first assessed whether the sites with the most painted motifs had better acoustics than those with fewer motifs. The second tested which areas in La Valltorta Gorge had better acoustics and whether there was a difference between the acoustics of the decorated area and the contiguous sectors of the Gorge where no paintings have been found. In both  experiments different sounds and pitches were used. The results suggest a strong relationship between the painted areas and the sonority of the place, with the major sites generally having provided the best results, with the exception of the sonority when facing the rock art panels. It is suggested that La Valltorta Gorge was chosen to be decorated with a view to increasing the perceptual impact of the rituals that may have been held at rock art sites due to the amplification caused by the echoing and resonance.

HIGHLIGHTS
. A strong relationship between rock art and acoustics is proposed for La Valltorta Gorge.
. The three major sites were found to be in strongly echoing locations.
. The highest resonance values were generally noted in front of the major sites.
. Minor rock art sites gave better results for resonance when looking at panels.
. A different ritual use of major and minor rock art sites is suggested.

The position of gender archaeology in the region that might loosely be referred to as southwestern Europe is far from homogeneous. Whereas in Spain the status of gender and feminist-oriented archaeology as major areas of research is quite solid, the same cannot he said regarding France and Portugal. Our aim in this article is threefold. First, we will briefly summarize the historical evolution of gender archaeology in France, Portugal, and Spain. Second, we will provide an overview of the main debates among archaeologists working in this area of research in the three countries. Finally, we will evaluate the main challenges currently facing gender archaeology in southwestern Europe. Most of the publications referred to in this article will be exam¬ined in terms of a gender and/or feminist approach although in some instances the connection may actually be implicit rather than explicit. While writing this article we compiled an extensive body of literature produced since the late 1980s that is too large to include here in full. Our selection, therefore, is not exhaustive, but we believe it to be a relevant sample reflecting the development of gender archaeology in the three countries under study.

1- Feminist and gender issues from the 1980s to the present
2- Main areas of research and lines of enquiry
---The critique of androcentrism
---Maintenance activities, time, space, and identity
---Gender and burial rites
---Gender and art
3- Challenges facing the archaeology of gender in southwest Europe

Rock art sites are not just dots on the landscape. They are places with personality and a biography. Research so far has been restricted to a list of location types, regardless of what was painted at the site itself. This limited analysis is bound to produce incomplete results. I propose that research on the location of rock art sites in the landscape should be cross-referenced with the typology of the motifs and the scenes depicted. Moreover, it should also account for the space in front of the panel in terms of how many people may have gathered there. Only by integrating these new factors into a landscape analysis will we be able to say more about the biographies of the rock art sites. By decorating these locations, places were created and given personalities. It is important to think about audiences, about who was using the space and about what would be the likely impact of the paintings on those who saw them. There may also be clues as to whether spaces were gendered or reserved for particular strata of society. The result of this research will probably reveal complex patterns of how the landscape was created, coded and experienced by the communities who created them. I explore this ideas in two case-studies, the rock art sites of Los Cuchillos and Solana de la Pedrera, in the province of Murcia (Spain). The Los Cuchillos and Solana de la Pedrera paintings are in the schematic style. However, there is a striking contrast in their biographies that this article explores.

This article explores how Grahame Clark's archaeology was received in Spain on the basis of the correspondence sent to three of the most important archaeologists of Francoist Spain (1936/39–1975), Julio Martínez Santa–Olalla (1905–1972), Luis Pericot García (1899–1978) and Martín Almagro Basch (1911–1984). The letters show that they exchanged the specialist journals published by the institutions they were involved with, in addition to other publications, and that Clark even lectured in Spain in 1952 and 1963. In the 1950s, he also encouraged several students to undertake research in Spain. Michael W. Thompson, John Evans and John Scantlebury were among the earliest to follow this route. Only the first of these successfully completed his research, but his move away from academia meant that his work failed to have the impact it would otherwise have had. After this first batch of students, others educated at Cambridge followed in the 1960s and 1970s, but none seems to have been directly connected to Clark. The second part of the article undertakes an analysis of the extent of Clark’s influence on Spanish archaeology. Several aspects are analysed, including the number of reviews of Clark’s publications in Spanish journals and the translations into Spanish of his work. Some thought is given to the reasons for an interest in economic and social archaeology in Spain. Instead of seeing this as the result of Clark’s influence, this article suggests that a series of works in this area were an echo of the French Annales School, which entered Spain via the studies of the medieval and modern historian, Jaime Vicens Vives.

Resumen: El análisis de la distribución espacial de los abrigos con arte rupestre y su relación con la creación de paisajes sociales por parte de sociedades prehistóricas se ha planteado desde diferentes perspectivas desde los años ochenta del siglo XX. Estas aproximaciones se han centrado en averiguar de qué modo estos conjuntos artísticos ofrecen claves sobre cómo se vertebraron los paisajes. Desde hace dos décadas, estas aproximaciones se han realizado a través de herramientas derivadas de los Sistemas de Información geográfica (SIG), particularmente para analizar y modelizar los patrones de visibilidad. Sin embargo, las diferentes modelizaciones han llevado a resultados, en ocasiones, contradictorios. Como medio para ahondar en estas y otras cuestiones, en este trabajo nos centraremos en el arte rupestre macroesquemático (ARM) a través de diferentes escalas de análisis. La primera analiza, desde un punto de vista iconográfico, los diferentes motivos. La segunda escala presta atención a la distribución espacial de estos motivos, así como su concentración en determinados sitios. Por último, la tercera escala modeliza la percepción visual y sonora a través del empleo de diferentes herramientas SIG. En este punto se realiza una evaluación crítica, tanto de las bases cartográficas como de los procedimientos empleados en la modelización de los paisajes visuales y sonoros. La concatenación de estas unidades de análisis permite aproximarnos a la articulación social del paisaje neolítico a partir de un fenómeno artístico tan concreto y particular como es el ARM.

Resumen | Los valores del patrimonio forman parte de los discursos asociados a la gestión del patrimonio cultural en diversas disciplinas, como la antropología, el urbanismo, la geografía y la sociología. Este artículo plantea una propuesta sobre el modo en que se han configurado y transformado estos valores a lo largo del tiempo. Discutiremos cómo se ha pasado de posiciones epistémicas más estáticas a otras más dinámicas, haciendo hincapié en una reflexión sobre la tendencia participativa actual, en la que la sociedad es protagonista. Los principales valores que consideraremos en este trabajo serán los históricos, estéticos, naturales, inmateriales, sociales y económicos. Situaremos al lector en posiciones críticas para invitarlo a reflexionar sobre la manera en que los expertos académicos debemos acompañar este dinamismo de valorización patrimonial a través de la democratización de nuestros discursos. Palabras clave | estudios críticos; gestión del patrimonio cultural; participación; proceso cultural; valores del patrimonio Evolution of Cultural Heritage Values Abstract | Heritage values are part of the discourses associated with cultural heritage management in various disciplines, such as Anthropology, Urban Planning, Geography, and Sociology. This article proposes how these values are shaped and how they have been transformed over time. We will discuss how heritage has shifted from static epistemic positions to more dynamic ones, emphasizing a reflection on the current participatory trend, in which society is the protagonist. The main values considered in this work are historical, aesthetic, natural, immaterial, social, and economic. We will place the reader in critical positions in order to invite her to reflect on the way in which academic experts should support this dynamism of heritage valorization through the democratization of our discourses.

Resumen. Las ciudades son asentamientos complejos, densamente poblados, que se encuentran en constante transformación. ¿Protegemos las ciudades como imágenes congeladas, sin tener en cuenta los procesos que en ellas acontecen?, ¿qué "patrimonios" conservamos? Estos cambios, que atienden a distintos orígenes, usos e intereses, conforman una esencia multi-capa única, un palimpsesto dónde unas estructuras se han conservado y otras han perecido; donde unas historias se narran, escenifican y ponen en valor y otras se esconden. En este trabajo abordaremos el estudio de estrategias de conservación y regeneración urbana, desde una perspectiva de profundidad. Se busca explorar el concepto de "ciudad profunda" (deep city) desarrollado recientemente por Fouseki, Guttormsen y Swensen, que analiza el valor de las transformaciones urbanas de forma multivocal. La ciudad de Barcelona, y su paulatina desindustrialización serán el telón de fondo de este trabajo reflexivo y conceptual. Aquí se introducirán algunos apuntes sobre sistemas dinámicos (SD) y nuevos enfoques acerca de la dimensión de los valores del patrimonio aplicados a la conservación social. / Abstract. Cities are complex, densely populated settlements in constant transformation. Do we protect cities as frozen images, oblivious to the processes taking place in them? What “heritages” do we preserve? These changes, which are the result of different sources, uses and interests, form a unique multi-layered entity, a palimpsest where some structures have been preserved and others have perished; in them some stories are narrated, staged, and enhanced, whereas others are hidden. This article addresses the study of urban conservation and regeneration strategies from a deep perspective. We seek to explore the concept of “deep city” recently developed by Fouseki, Guttormsen and Swensen by analysing the value of urban transformations in a multivocal way. The city of Barcelona and its gradual deindustrialisation are the backdrop for this reflective and conceptual work. Some notes on systems dynamics (SD) analysis or new approaches to the value dimension of heritage applied to social conservation will also be discussed.

Díaz-Andreu, Margarita y Portillo, Marta 2021. Introducción: microhistorias e interdisciplinariedad en Arqueología. En Díaz-Andreu, Margarita y Portillo, Marta (eds.), Arqueología e interdisciplinaridad: la microhistoria de una revolución en la arqueología española (1970-2020).  Barcelona, Universitat de Barcelona: 11-21.    RESUMEN - En estas cuatro últimas décadas, la historia de la arqueología ha experimentado un gran impulso en todo el mundo, y España ha sido uno de los países pioneros en este sentido, pero choca observar que el papel de la interdisciplinariedad en el desarrollo de la disciplina es un asunto que ha pasado prácticamente desapercibido al conjunto de los investigadores e investigadoras que han profundizado en estas cuestiones. Este vacío es el que impulsó este volumen que se acerca a la interdisciplinariedad desde múltiples autobiografías, desde una perspectiva microhistórica en la que una selección evidentemente incompleta de los propios protagonistas de esta historia relatan sus experiencias personales y profesionales que hicieron posible lo que ha llegado a ser una revolución en la arqueología española y mundial. Este libro nos permite acercarnos al caleidoscopio humano de la interdisciplinariedad en arqueología en España: sus protagonistas nos aproximan a sus historias personales, al origen por su interés en entender la arqueología de una forma que apenas unos años antes no existía, a su formación dentro de la disciplina, al profesorado que les incentivó, sus mentores, los compañeros y compañeras que se quedaron por el camino, sus salidas al extranjero, la importancia de las relaciones con sus colegas y con otras disciplinas, los laboratorios donde trabajaron o los que ellos y ellas levantaron; nos hablan sobre sus proyectos y la importancia de su participación en congresos y del establecimiento de contactos, y algunos incluso nos ofrecen unas pocas pinceladas de su vida personal, tan estrechamente ligada a la profesional. Son historias de éxitos y fracasos, de dificultades y superación, de cómo han llegado a ser parte de la red profesional que ha marcado de forma tan profunda el devenir de la arqueología del país en este último medio siglo. Este es un libro único porque conjuga la microhistoria de muchos profesionales, de sus laboratorios y de los congresos en los que se encuentran, entre otras cuestiones, con la macrohistoria de la interdisciplinariedad en España. Y lo es también porque esta es la primera vez que esto se ha intentado en la historia de la arqueología a nivel global.

Resumen en español: En este artículo presentamos una breve introducción historiográfica y metodológica de la arqueología musical y la arqueoacústica como subdisciplinas de la arqueología encargadas del estudio de las evidencias materiales de las prácticas musicales del pasado remoto, y realizamos un recorrido por los principales hallazgos arqueológicos relacionados con la música, el sonido y la acústica de los espacios desde el Paleolítico al Neolítico en Eurasia. Además, proponemos una serie de hallazgos como casos de estudio que van a permitir reflexionar en torno a la importancia cultural de la musicalidad, y los posibles usos y funciones de la música en aquellas sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras y de primeros agricultores. Palabras clave: Arqueología Musical, Arqueoacústica  --  Abstract: In this paper we present a brief historiographical and methodological introduction to Music archeology and Archaeoacoustics, archaeological subdisciplines in charge of studying the material evidence of musical behaviours of the remote past. Moreover, we briefly present some of the main archaeological finds linked to music, sound and acoustics from the Palaeolithic to the Neolithic in Eurasia. Finally, we propose a series of discoveries as case studies that will allow us to reflect on the cultural importance of musicality, and the possible uses and functions of music in those hunter-gatherer and early farmer societies.

DOI: 10.14201/zephyrus2021871531 -- Desde el inicio de las investigaciones sobre el Arte Rupestre Levantino la bibliografía especializada ha reparado con cierta frecuencia en numerosas escenas calificadas como representaciones de danzas. Este artículo tiene como objetivo comprobar la plausibilidad de tales interpretaciones mediante el análisis del corpus de escenas identificadas como danzas en el Bajo Aragón y el Maestrazgo, dos regiones que juntas forman una misma provincia estilística. Empleando los conceptos teórico-metodológicos de la denominada Arqueología de la Danza, examinamos las imágenes de acuerdo con una serie de criterios analíticos orientados a la caracterización de los personajes de la acción y de las propias danzas representadas. Tras el análisis de estas, hemos concluido que solo cinco de las trece escenas publicadas como danzas presentan características que se ajustan a los parámetros de representación típicos de esta actividad. En ese sentido, identificamos una danza individual, dos en pareja y dos colectivas, las cuales parecen haber sido representadas de forma predominante en los últimos periodos cronoestilísticos de esta tradición rupestre.

Resumen - En este trabajo trataremos sobre la historia de la interdisciplinariedad de la arqueología en España, realizando un rápido recorrido desde el siglo XIX hasta nuestros días. En esta historia diacrónica entendemos la interdisciplinariedad no como una suma de ciencias o disciplinas sin un intercambio de saberes entre ellas (multidisciplinariedad), o como la integración de dos disciplinas en una (pluridisciplinariedad), o el ideal de unión de todas las ciencias (transdisciplinariedad), sino como una aproximación basada en perspectivas disciplinares que integran sus puntos de vista que enfatiza su relación con la resolución de problemáticas (Díaz-Andreu & Portillo, en prensa 2021). https://zenodo.org/record/4034177#.X2MptWgzbIU

RESUMEN. En este trabajo que introduce el dosier ≪Hacia una historia de la interdisciplinariedad en Arqueologia≫, coordinado por las mismas autoras, se define, en primer lugar, que se entiende por interdisciplinariedad y otros conceptos afines como pluridisciplinariedad. Se realiza entonces un repaso diacronico de como las relaciones interdisciplinares se han producido en la arqueologia espanola desde el siglo xix hasta la situacion actual. Esta sintesis revela un cierto retraso inicial con respecto a otros paises, pese a que desde el inicio si que se encuentren especialistas en otras ramas del saber que aportan con su conocimiento especializado a la arqueologia. Sin embargo, solo sera en el siglo xx cuando llegue a aparecer una interdisciplinariedad estrictamente hablando, mientras que la progresiva aceptacion de la valia de las contribuciones de otras ciencias lleva ya en estas ultimas decadas a un enfasis no tanto de la interdisciplinariedad sino de la pluridisciplinariedad dentro de la propia arqueologia en Espana. Palabras clave: Interdisciplinariedad, pluridisciplinariedad, historia de la Arqueologia, Espana, Ciencias Arqueologicas. Abstract. This introductory article to the ≪Towards a History of Interdisciplinarity in Archaeology≫ dossier, coordinated by the authors, starts with a definition of interdisciplinarity and other related concepts such as pluridisciplinarity. A diachronic review is then undertaken looking at how interdisciplinary relations have taken place in Spanish archaeology from the nineteenth century until today. This synthetic overview reveals a certain initial delay with respect to other countries. From early days of the discipline, a few specialists in other branches of knowledge contributed with their specialized knowledge to archaeology, although strictly speaking interdisciplinarity only took place in the twentieth century. The progressive acceptance of the value of the contributions of other sciences has led in recent decades to an emphasis not so much on interdisciplinarity but on pluridisciplinarity within Spanish archaeology. Keywords: Interdisciplinarity, pluridisciplinarity, history of Archaeology, Spain, archaeological sciences.

Este es un volumen fundamentalmente de arqueología histórica cuya existencia habría sido impensable antes del siglo XXI. Esta frescura en su perspectiva me lleva a una reflexión sobre el origen de la misma y a explicar las circunstancias que rodearon su aparición en otras partes del mundo en momentos anteriores y cómo posteriormente llegó a Latinoamérica. Mis indagaciones sobre el nacimiento de la arqueología histórica me han llevado al país de mayor poderío económico en el siglo XX, por lo menos a partir de la primera Guerra Mundial, Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, opuestamente de lo que podríamos pensar en un principio, no dataremos ese alumbramiento en su mejor momento financiero, sino más bien al contrario, en una época de profunda crisis: la provocada por la caída de la bolsa de Nueva York, que llevaría en los años treinta a la Gran Depresión. / La arqueología del New Deal... Quizá sea la cercanía de Cuba a Estados Unidos en aquel momento
lo que lleve al conocimiento en la isla antillana de este nuevo tipo de arqueología surgida en el contexto del New Deal / En los otros países del ámbito latinoamericano la implicación de sus profesionales con la Arqueología Histórica llegará mucho más tarde, en los años 1990s, pero no se producirá de una manera tan definitiva como en el viejo continente / En este libro sobre la arqueología del contacto los casos de estudio se localizan en todo el ámbito hispano, desde la zona de Estados Unidos que hasta 1840 perteneciera a México, hasta Argentina.

existencia de una intensa comunicación
internacional entre expertos,
lo que permite el rápido traspaso
de nuevas ideas y metodologías entre distintos países. Las vías de transmisión han sido diversas e incluyen congresos, estancias más o menos prologadas en el exterior, publicaciones y traducciones, las relaciones personales establecidas en proyectos de investigación internacionales y por correspondencia. Siguiendo esos parámetros en estos dos pequeños artículos se analizan las relaciones internacionales de la arqueología española entre 1912 y 1960 y desde esta última fecha hasta la actualidad

RESUMEN -  En este artículo se realiza un breve repaso a la evolución del pensamiento sobre los valores del patrimonio a nivel mundial así como Unidos y el Reino Unido. En un último apartado se esboza cómo en España los arqueólogos han entendido su relación con la sociedad, yendo desde la difusión del conocimiento hasta una compresión más crítica del papel del público en la práctica arqueológica. Palabras clave: Arqueología pública, Arqueología comunitaria, Gestión del Patrimonio Arqueológico, Valor social, Público, Socialización; ABSTRACT - This article summarily provides a worldwide overview of the history of thought regarding heritage values, and also discusses the origins of public and community archaeology. The final section focuses on how Spanish archaeologists have understood their relationship with society, from limiting it to the dissemination of knowledge to a more critical understanding of the role of the public in archaeological practice.

On December 2nd 1998 the Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin (ARAMPI) was added to the list of World Heritage Sites. In this article we analyse the effect the World Heritage inscription has had on the development of this cultural property/archaeological site. Several issues will be discussed: we will first analyse the effect the inclusion has had on research in rock art. Then, we discuss how some sites included in the ARAMPI have been enhanced as a cultural resource through the creation of various institutions and the establishment of several initiatives to give visibility to rock art. Finally, we will assess whether the inscription has helped the preservation of these rock art sites, especially in the light of the conservation procedures undertaken to enhance the visitor experience.

RESUMEN.- La Arqueoacústica es una ciencia en gran auge en los últimos años dentro de los estudios arqueológicos. En la actualidad, se están realizando diferentes investigaciones en la Península Ibérica con este nuevo enfoque. Estos buscan determinar la influencia y relación que puede llegar a existir entre el arte rupestre prehistórico (Paleolítico, Levantino y Esquemático), los lugares que lo contienen (cuevas y abrigos) y su acústica. En este artículo definimos qué es Arqueoacústica, detallamos de forma general el estado de sus investigaciones de cronología prehistórica en la actualidad y presentamos la metodología y los resultados de los estudios que se están realizando en la Península Ibérica en el arte rupestre postpaleolítico.

ABSTRACT.- Archaeoacoustics is an increasingly popular field of research within archaeology. In the Iberian Peninsula there are currently several different projects being undertaken. In the area of rock art studies, these seek to determine the relationship between prehistoric rock art (Palaeolithic, Levantine and Schematic) in its landscape context (caves and shelters) and acoustics.In this article we will first define Archaeoacoustics and detail the research being undertaken in relation to prehistoric rock art. We will also explain the methodology and results of current research projects related to postpaleolithic rock art in the Iberian Peninsula.
KEY WORDS.- Archaeoacoustics, prehistoric rock art, Iberian Peninsula, acoustic, sound.

TOURISM AND ARCHEOLOGY. A HISTORICAL LOOK  TO A SILENCED RELATIONSHIP
Abstract: The Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries saw the development of the professionalization of archaeology and also the emergence of government interest in the tourism industry. Researchers have analyzed these two phenomena as if they were separate processes; the first centered on increased knowledge of the national past and the second focused on the economic benefit brought by leisure activities. This paper analyzes whether these two developments, archaeological tourism and the professionalization of archeology, have actually evolved independently of each other. Preliminary research suggests that they have been, at least in some countries, especially in those with monumental ruins. This paper analyzes the possible relationship between these developments and the extent to which they are connected, first to nationalism and more recently to commodification.
Keywords: archaeological tourism; archaeology; nationalism; commodification.

Resumen: Durante el siglo XIX y principios del XX se produjo, por un lado, el desarrollo de la profesionalización de la arqueología y, por el otro, la aparición del interés de los Estados en la industria del turismo. Los investigadores han analizado estos dos procesos como si se tratara de actuaciones separadas, uno enfocado hacia el incremento del saber sobre el pasado para consolidar la estructura histórica que sustentaba la memoria nacional, y el otro centrado en el beneficio económico que conllevan las actividades relacionadas con el ocio. En este artículo se analizará si el desarrollo de estos dos factores, turismo arqueológico y profesionalización de la arqueología, ha sido totalmente independiente el uno del otro. Investigaciones preliminares sugieren que han estado hasta cierto punto conectados, especialmente en países con ruinas monumentales. Se analizará su posible relación y de qué forma han estado vinculados al nacionalismo, y más recientemente, al mercantilismo.

This article gives an overview of the history of gender archaeology. It starts by looking at the origins of the term, which we find in psychiatry in the 1950s. The concept of gender became known in the 1960s, was received in anthropology in the 1970s and in archaeology in the 1980s. I will explain about the earliest projects dealing with gender in the United States and in Scandinavia, first in the field of prehistory and then in Roman and medieval archaeology. In the last section of this work an overview of the first developments of gender archaeology in Spain is provided. [Gender, History of gender Archaeology, Spain]

The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the history of the research and the main developments in the study of gender in the English-speaking world. It includes proposals from the fields of archaeology, art history, the classics and ancient history. It also provides information on research into the Greek and Roman worlds, with an emphasis on the latter. After outlining how interest in gender and sexuality developed, the article summarises some of the proposals regarding the intersectionality of gender with other identities, such as ethnicity and status. Research into material culture and gender activities (mainly women’s) is also presented.
Keywords: gender, Antiquity, intersectionality.

RESUMEN: La investigación arqueológica sobre el arte post-paleolítico ha experimentado diversas fases durante los más de cien años desde su descubrimiento científico. En este artículo se definen estas y se ponen en conexión con diversos eventos políticos y académicos como la institucionalización de los estudios prehistóricos en España, la Guerra Civil, los cambios que tuvieron lugar influidos por las transformaciones ideológicas del régimen franquista y, finalmente, la expansión de las universidades en
los años setenta unida con el final de la dictadura. En este trabajo se enfatizará más en la historia del arte levantino que en otros estilos post-paleolíticos.

Resumen - Este trabajo reflexionará sobre la historia de la Prehistoria andaluza en el franquismo, subdividiendo la discusión sobre la misma en dos etapas principales, la primera entre 1939 y 1955, en la que se detallará la labor de la Comisaría General de Excavaciones Arqueológicas (CGEA) en Andalucía, y la segunda entre 1955 y 1975, en la que dará un repaso a lo ocurrido en las dos décadas del franquismo. La diferente naturaleza de las fuentes de información ha llevado a que el análisis de la primera sea más extenso y detallado, puesto que existen datos de archivo que enriquecen en gran manera la visión que podemos ofrecer de esta época en complemento a lo impreso en artículos y libros. En cuanto al segundo periodo en el que falta una recogida exhaustiva de los datos existentes en archivos, las particularidades escogidas representando estos años provienen principalmente de publicaciones

RESUMEN
En esta comunicación se estudian los grabados de El Covacho de las Pintas. Se defiende una cronología a partir de época bajomedieval, sobre la base principalmente del análisis de las armas y de las cruces representadas. Se presentan algunas hipótesis sobre la posible funcionalidad del lugar.

ABSTRACT
This paper aims to analyse the graffiti from El Covacho de las Pintas. On the basis of the figures of weapons and crosses a chronology from the Low Middle Age is argued for these graffiti. Several hypotheses regarding the funcionality of the site are enumerated.

río Guadiela / Carrascosa de la Sierra
Los motivos más representados son cruces (sencillas y reticuladas, y entre estas últimas, simples y de doble travesaño, teniendo ambas los extremos triangulados), geométricos (reticulados, estrellas, lineas en zig-zag, etc.), antropomorfos, zoomorfos, armas (ballesta), otros (soles, ruedas, inscripciones) y líneas sin orden aparente.
Los referentes más seguros para los grabados de la fase más antigua del Covacho de las Pintas son de época bajomedieval. En definitiva, creemos que es a este momento al que pertenecen los motivos más antiguos, las armas y las cruces de doble travesaño. Parece más probable que los grabados de cruces sean una manifestación de culto popular, quizá conectado en algún momento con el paso de los madereros de la Serranía de Cuencia. Hay grabados más modernos, como unos soldados decimonónicos.

La técnica empleada es variada, apreciándose que cruces reticuladas y la mayor parte de los motivos geométricos están realizados con un instrumento fino, mientras que para otros motivos se ha utilizado un objeto de mayor grosor.

First detailed examination of the development of relationships between archaeology and specific disciplines in the natural and social sciences. The aim of this book is to explore the interdisciplinary relationships between archaeology and other branches of knowledge in Europe and elsewhere. Interdisciplinary cooperation has been essential in the development of archaeology as we know it today, although until now its role and influence have been largely ignored in the histories of the discipline. This is a pioneering project in the field of the history of archaeology, as it is the first to examine the inclusion into archaeological practice of various disciplines categorised under the umbrella of hard, natural and social sciences, as well as the humanities. This insertion led to groundbreaking interdisciplinary collaborations and, ultimately, to the birth of new branches within archaeology, including, for example, archaeozoology, archaeobotany, geoarchaeology and archaeometallurgy. The authors of this volume include internationally acknowledged scholars of the history of archaeology. Chapters cover a wide range of topics, looking at interdisciplinarity in archaeology at a general level by analysing its relationship with a number of other sciences in specific countries such as Portugal and Italy, to the incorporation of particular disciplines such as geology, palynology and zoology into archaeology using case studies. Several authors focus on the work of influential scholars as starting points for examining the intersection between antiquarianism, archaeology, the natural sciences and numismatics or between archaeology, art history, architecture and natural sciences. Other chapters theorise on the influence of epistemology and philosophy of science and even positivism on archaeological theory and practice. The influence of the army is also discussed in the development of underwater and aerial archaeology.

The first part of this volume deals precisely with ‘International relations in the history of archaeology’. The eleven contributions collected for the session organised by Margarita Díaz-Andreu and Víctor M. Fernández tackle a particularly productive topic in the field today. In actual fact, this seminal research field currently echoes in a way the strong trend of scholarship about the influence of nationalism on our discipline, which since the end of the 1980s, has greatly contributed to the takeoff and overall recognition of the history of archaeology. The second part, entitled ‘The Revolution of the Sixties in prehistory and protohistory’, is the outcome of a partnership with the Commission ‘Archaeological Methods and Theory’. The seven contributions collected by François Djindjian and Alessandro Guidi strive to document and analyse a recent past, which is still often burdened with the weight of teleological and presentist appraisals. The inclusion in this volume of this session significantly dedicated to the genealogy of schools of thought and to the study of complex methodological and technical issues illustrates our commitment to tackling historical issues as well, which are closely linked to current theoretical debates in our discipline. Such is also the aim of the third part, which addresses ‘Lobbying for Archaeology’. As shown by the five contributions of this session organised by Géraldine Delley and the undersigned, archaeology has not only been instrumentalized by political powers and ideological interests. It has also found fruitful alliances with economic agents or bodies, where mutual advantages were gained on practical, technical bases. In our opinion, a reflexive, critical approach to these various forms of lobbying should ensure a useful awareness regarding the structural problems our discipline faces today, regarding its funding methods.

This book examines the relationship between British and Spanish archaeology in the light of international geographies of knowledge. It looks at the practical aspects of the personal relationships established between British and Spanish prehistoric archaeologists from the 1920s to the 1970s. Part I of the book sets the scene. It provides some contextual information on the main events in the archaeology of both countries in the period under study. It also introduces Professor Luis Pericot, the archaeologist whose archive serves as the basis for much of what is discussed throughout the following chapters. In Part II of the book an analysis of the correspondence held in the Pericot Archive (the Fons Pericot in the Biblioteca de Catalunya) is undertaken. The examination of the letters exchanged between Spanish and British prehistorians in general, and in particular between Luis Pericot and about a dozen major British scholars of his time, allows the reconstruction of the nature of the relationships formed between them. The analysis has been divided into three chapters, corresponding to the three main towns where his correspondents lived for most of their academic careers: London, Cambridge and Oxford. In Part III of the book the information obtained from the correspondence is then complemented and re-examined, considering three main aspects: the production, transmission and reception of knowledge. This analysis puts together aspects discussed in Part I of the book with the data gathered from the letters in Part II, as well as other information provided by publications including translations and reviews. First of all an assessment is made as to whether the geographical context affected the way knowledge of prehistoric archaeology was produced. Secondly, the mechanisms and networks that allowed the international transmission of both ideas and practices linked to prehistoric archaeology are assessed. A third aspect looked into is the reception of knowledge, linking this with issues such as academic prestige and authority.

Ch 1 Introduction; Ch  2 Gender identity; Ch 3 The archaeology of age; Ch 4 Status identity and archaeology; Ch 5 Ethnic and cultural identities; Ch 6 The archaeology of religion
The Archaeology of Identity presents an overview of five of the key areas that have recently emerged in archaeological social theory: gender, age, status, ethnicity and religion. This book reviews the research history of each of them, and the different ways in which they have been investigated, as well as offering potential ways forward. Emphasis is placed on exploring the ways in which material culture is structured by these aspects of individual and communal identity, with a particular stress on social practice. A wealth of scholarship is brought together in this book, which provides an integrated approach to identity not commonly found in similar studies. This book is suitable for students and readers interested in issues of identity, as well as social scientists dealing with similar aspects in sociology, anthropology and history.

Proyecto Arqueólogas - 'Recuperando la memoria: recorridos femeninos en la historia de la arqueología española'. / Arqueólogas Project -  ‘Retrieving Memory: Women’s Pathways in the History of Spanish Archaeology'. El proyecto Recuperando la memoria: recorridos femeninos en la historia de la arqueología española (siglos XIX y XX) (ArqueólogAs) tiene como objetivo principal analizar de una manera crítica el papel de la mujer en la Arqueología española desde la profesionalización de la disciplina en el siglo XIX hasta nuestros días. A pesar de que existen algunas publicaciones sobre el tema se puede decir que, en líneas generales, casi lo ignoramos todo, y que el silencio de las historias de la Arqueología sobre ellas nos debe llevar a una urgente reflexión de cómo se escriben las crónicas disciplinares. A través de la construcción de múltiples microhistorias, de biografías de mujeres que estuvieron de una manera u otra implicadas en la Arqueología, se pretende en último término elaborar una narración macrohistórica que cree un relato claro pero complejo y no necesariamente lineal. ArqueólogAs aspira a analizar el ciclo vital de las mujeres a lo largo de las épocas y comparando las vías profesionales y las que no lo son.  / The project ‘Retrieving Memory: Women’s Pathways in the History of Spanish Archaeology (19th and 20th Centuries)’ (ArqueólogAs) aims to analyse critically the role of women in Spanish archaeology from the professionalisation of the discipline in the 19th century to the present day. Although there are some publications on the subject, it can be said that in general we know little about it, and that the absence of women in the histories of archaeology should lead us to reflect urgently on the way disciplinary chronicles are written. Through the construction of multiple micro-histories and biographies of women who were, in one way or another, involved in archaeology, the ultimate aim of this project is to undertake a macro-historical study that will lead to the establishment of a clear, although complex and not necessarily linear, history of women in archaeology. ArqueólogAs aims to analyse the life cycle of women throughout the ages and compare professional and non-professional pathways.

The ARTSOUNDSCAPES project deals with sound, rock art and sacred landscapes among past hunter-gatherers and early agricultural societies around the world. The potential of sound to stimulate powerful emotions makes it a common medium for conferring places with extraordinary agency. Ethnographic and ethnohistorical sources indicate that these sites are often endowed with a sacred significance and, in many cases, they also receive special treatment, including the production of rock paintings. Despite the aural experience being an integral component of the human condition and a key element in ritual, archaeology has largely been unable to study it systematically. Rock art landscapes are no exception and, although some studies have been made, they have largely been reproached for their lack of scientific rigour and subjectivity. ARTSOUNDSCAPES will fully address this weakness by investigating the perception of sound in rock art landscapes from an interdisciplinary approach. Borrowing methods developed in acoustic engineering, the project will assess, from an objective and quantitative perspective, the acoustic properties of rock art landscapes in selected areas around the world. Human experiences associated with altered or mystical states invoked by the identified special sonic characteristics of these landscapes will be further tested by exploring the psychoacoustic effects these soundscapes have on people and their neural correlate to brain activity. The project will also thoroughly survey ethnographic attitudes to sacred soundscapes based on both current premodern societies and ethnohistorical sources. The combination of this array of interdisciplinary approaches will facilitate the ultimate aim of the project: to propose a phenomenological understanding of sacred soundscapes among late hunter-gatherers and early agriculturalists around the world

Paper to be presented at the RAI2018: Art, Materiality and Representation Conference, Panel P040 "Art and Material Culture in Prehistoric Europe" organised by Chris Gosden and John Robb. Royal Anthropological Institute. London. 1-3 June 2018. ABSTRACT -
It has been claimed that a holistic approach to landscape history is needed, for the separation between the economic, the cultural and the cosmological did not exist in the pre-modern past. Yet, there are places in the landscape that seem to indicate that the holistic approach needs nuancing. One such type of places is prehistoric rock art sites in Europe. They can be seen as locales where prehistoric people incorporated sensory experience as a form of cosmological knowledge. To their lack of apparent functional use, and the high degree of symbolism of the depictions produced in them, we can add their peculiar sonorous nature. In the last few years we have undertaken a series of systematic acoustics measurements in a number of rock art landscapes in Mediterranean Europe. Results have pointed to the selection of places with the best acoustic properties in their area, although there are nuances from one area to another implying agency and transformation. Anthropologists have noted that sound and music are systematically present in ritual (even if in the form of silence) and it is our contention that sound contributed to the understanding of the sacred at rock art sites and to the understanding of ensouled landscapes by the hunter-gatherer and early agricultural societies that produced the art. In this paper we will discuss these ideas providing new, specific examples derived from our work in archaeoacoustics.

Off The Record: conversations in world archaeology We are very pleased to welcome Tommaso Mattioli (University of Barcelona) and Margarita Diaz-Andreu (ICREA and University of Barcelona) to give an 'Off the Record' World Archaeology Section seminar, on Wednesday 18th October, 5-6pm, in room 209. Intangible landscapes: measuring the acoustics of rock art sites in the Central and Western Mediterranean For some time researchers have pointed out that, in addition to the visual, other senses may explain the production and location of rock art in prehistoric landscapes. Among all the senses, an increasing attention is being paid to hearing, but measuring acoustics has proved to be a challenge. Rock art researchers usually work in remote, open-air environments in which the equipment usually employed by acoustical engineers and architects is not adequate. In this talk we will discuss how we were able to overcome this and other difficulties in the case of our examination of rock art landscapes in the Central and Western Mediterranean.

In this lecture the results of a two-year project on the acoustics of rock art in the Western Mediterranean will be presented. Archaeoacoustic research on prehistoric schematic rock art sites in Italy. France and Spain have indicated the importance of sound for their location. Several issues will be discussed: the importance of the acoustics of the places chosen to be painted on and in particular, their potential for enhancing resonance and reverberation and for producing echoes in the selection of sites to be decorated. Issues such as the possible use of echolocation - the ability to identify the location from which echoes and reverberations originate - by prehistoric communities will be assessed in the light of results obtained.

Research on soundscapes is a breakthrough field of research in rock art studies. It looks at aspects other than the materiality and aesthetic of sites and places by recovering less evident and intangible cultural signs such as those related to the individual and collective acoustic perceptions felt at rock art spaces. The study of soundscapes aims to quantify and qualify the sonoric experience that rock art creators experienced by being in the rock art landscape. This paper presents the experimental tests of the project “SONART - The sound of rock art” by which a sample of post-Paleolithic rock art in Spain (Arroyo de San Serván in Extremadura and Muntanyes de Prades in Catalunya), France (Vaucluse in Provence-Alpes- Côte d’Azur) and Italy (Gargano mountain in Puglia and Majella mountain in Abruzzo), dating from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age, have been analysed. Borrowing methods and technologies from disciplines other than archaeology, the project has investigated landscapes in terms of soundscape and acoustics. Results so far indicate the relevance of acoustics as a factor for the production, location and active use of rock art landscapes in the Western Mediterranean.

En esta comunicación defenderemos que el patrimonio tiene el potencial de servir como una herramienta de integración ciudadana para los colectivos inmigrantes, siendo potencialmente un vehículo de integración democrática en nuestra sociedad actual, intercultural y multiétnica. El enorme crecimiento de la población inmigrante en España en esta última década, y las tensiones surgidas por el sentimiento de desarraigo extendido entre ellas, hacen que potenciar la pertenencia a través de interacciones positivas sea crucial para la integración y el empoderamiento social  ---
In this paper we will argue that heritage has the potential to serve as a tool for social integration of immigrant communities. Heritage is potentially an integration tool in democratic, intercultural and multiethnic societies. This is especially important in the context of the large growth of migrant population in Spain in the last decade, and the tensions arising from the widespread sense of rootlessness among it.  We contend that boosting a sense of belonging through positive interactions such as valuing local heritage may be crucial for social engagement and social empowerment among migrant communities.

Esta comunicación analiza el grado de implementación de uno de los requerimientos exigidos en las Directrices Prácticas del Centro de Patrimonio Mundial: la participación de las comunidades locales en la propuesta y la gestión de las propiedades de Patrimonio Mundial, en relación a un caso de estudio: los lugares de arte rupestre. Se sugerirá que hay un desajuste evidente entre lo acordado y lo conseguido. ---
This paper assesses the degree of implementation of one of the requirements in the Operational Guidelines of the World Heritage Centre: the participation of local communities in the nomination and management of World Heritage properties. It does so by looking at the case study of rock art properties in Spain. It will be argued that there is an apparent mismatch between the letter of the different agreements and what is being achieved.

In this article I compare the archaeology undertaken in the countries that endured imperial rule and that practiced after decolonization. After some background on the politics of imperialism and post-colonialism the discussion will center on the influence of these two processes on who is working in archaeology and what institutions support the practice of archaeology.

En 1991 Gonzalo Pasamar Alzuria publicaba Historiografía e Ideología en la posguerra española: la ruptura de la tradición liberal y ese mismo año ahondaba uno de los temas que allí había tratado en su trabajo "Oligarquías y clientelas en el mundo de la investigación científica: el Consejo Superior en la universidad de posguerra". El estudio que se realiza en esta comunicación toma como partida el de Pasamar, pero contrasta con él en que el ángulo de análisis se verá reducido para así intentar profundizar en el papel del CSIC en la perduración y afianzamiento del sistema clientelar, estudiándolo desde una perspectiva más limitada, desde la óptica de un único investigador.

Community archaeology is gaining momentum in the city of Barcelona, although the number of projects is still low. Some of these projects function in the old quarter of Barcelona  whereas others are based in the outskirts of the city, both areas sharing a high occupation by recently settled migrant communities, Some of these projects focus on school children whereas others are attempting to reach youngsters and even the whole of the community. Some of the archaeologists behind these initiatives work as commercial archaeologists and others are based in museums, research institutes and recently also universities. The aim of this paper will be, first, to discuss the challenges regarding ethical issues and the practical difficulties these projects have encountered. Secondly, we would like to argue that ignoring completly community archaeology also implies ethical issues that archaeologists should confront.

El Fons Pericot de la Biblioteca de Catalunya contiene una selección casi completa de la correspondencia académica mantenida por el catedrático de Prehistoria de la Universitat de Barcelona, Lluís Pericot (1899-1978). El análisis de un millar de cartas enviadas por arqueólogos británicos allí guardadas nos ofrece una visión novedosa sobre los contactos entre las Arqueologías española y británica durante las décadas centrales del siglo XX. La relación epistolar mantenida entre los arqueólogos de ambos países no sólo nos permite realizar una descripción minuciosa del carácter de las relaciones internacionales  durante aquellos años y de la cronología de ciertos eventos, sino - y esto es lo más novedoso en el análisis que propongo – a platearnos preguntas desde la óptica de la geografía del conocimiento. ¿Influye la geografía en la producción, consumo y circulación del conocimiento? En esta charla se analizará hasta qué punto es relevante el lugar donde se produce el saber, si éste influye en el contenido y la naturaleza de la producción científica y si tiene un efecto en las redes académicas de las que forman parte. Por otra parte, se examinarán las condiciones en las que se transmite el conocimiento y los medios que se emplean para ello y cómo esto puede afectar a la recepción del mismo. En último lugar se realizará una reflexión sobre poder y conocimiento, enlazando así el quehacer cotidiano académico con la fuerza que tienen grandes ideologías como el nacionalismo y el colonialismo.

"On 2 December 1998 the Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin (ARAMPI) was added to the World Heritage List. An initial list of 727 identified rock art sites was drawn up. They were spread over an area of approximately one hundred thousand square kilometres, the largest archaeological area on the WHL.

In this paper we analyse the impact that inclusion on the list has had on the development of this cultural resource. Since 1998 many changes have been made to the way the ARAMPI is managed. Many more sites have been opened to the public and information about them has been made more accessible by the opening of museums and interpretation centres. These changes have created new issues, some related to conservation and others to economic sustainability and cultural change."

"Keeping the network alive - the role of correspondence in the formation of a disciplinary identity in Europe, 1920s-1970s"
Until relatively recently letters have been the main way for scholars to contact each other while apart. Correspondence, therefore, is a key documental source. As such, letters can be queried from many angles. They allow us to explore one of the key elements scholars had to build their knowledge of what was happening elsewhere in the discipline. They also contain proof of the process of events as they were experienced by archaeologists and felt by the individuals living through them. Correspondence also helps us to understand the tempo of a social relationship: the rhythm of scholars´ interactions is shaped by the intervals between letters, variations in the frequency of exchanges and silent periods as opposed to those with a frantic exchange of letters. Moreover, letters also provide us with clues to assess the effects of gender, social, ethnic and class identities on social relationships in academia. This paper will look at these aspects in relation to international exchange of letters in the middle decades of the twentieth century and assess how these helped in the maintenance and renewal of a network of Western European archaeologists first formed in the late 1920s.

This paper will explore the institutional basis and archaeological practice of Spanish archaeology in North Africa from 1860 until 1956. Spanish archaeologists worked on a wide range of periods, from prehistoric to Islamic archaeology. Three main phases can be established, from the Spanish-Moroccan war until the establishment of the protectorate (1860-1912), the early years of the protectorate until the Civil War (1912-1936), and the years until the end of the protectorate (1939-1956) both before and during Miquel Tarradell’s directorship of the Archaeological Service (1948-1956).  Several issues will be discussed, including the ambivalent position of Spain within the colonising world.

The ERC Artsoundscapes project (www.ub.edu/artsoundscapes) started ten months ago, what it seems now like a long time. These past few months have been full of activities including building the team, setting up the project’s communication system – devising a logo, creating a facebook page and a webpage –, participating in outreach activities, training, strategy development and planning the first fieldwork seasons. The first task for me, as the project principal investigator, was, of course, to form the team. This was not as easy as I was expecting. For the first time of my life I had the funding to build a strong research team but, while at the time of writing the proposal I had a very clear idea of who I wanted in it, one year after some of my best choices had found jobs elsewhere. With the help of Tommaso Mattioli (https://www.ub.edu/artsoundscapes/tommaso-mattioli/) as Senior Researcher, and Carlos Escera (https://www.ub.edu/artsoundscapes/carles-escera/) and Angelo Farina (https://www.ub.edu/artsoundscapes/angelo-farina/) as Senior Scientists, the bulk of the team is now in place. Identifying the young team members matching the expertise the project needed was a daunting task, especially because of the higly interdisciplinary nature of the Artsoundscapes project. Test passed: the team (www.ub.edu/artsoundscapes/team), as it stands now, has researchers from the fields of archaeology, ethnomusicology, anthropology, acoustical engineering, psychoacoustics and neuropsychology. It is exciting to be ready to face the challenges posed by the project’s objectives.
In the first months some key settings had to be put in place: ...

Since the emergence of the debate on the relationship between nationalism and archaeology, mainly in the 1990s, most discussions have focused on the place that material culture dating from the prehistoric to the medieval period occupied, and still does, in nationalist narratives. In contrast, this volume goes beyond the chronological span usually dealt with by archaeologists to focus on the modern period. In its pages it is possible to find a range of examples of how material culture has been used (or prevented from being used) to reinforce nationalist narratives, from the fourteenth century until today. The way in which these narratives were and still are being developed is also a matter for discussion. An important focus of the book is to show how historical archaeologists potentially are exceptionally well-placed to analyse how the development of modern nationalism and national identity is reproduced in the post-medieval archaeological record, as it was during this period that political nationalism evolved. Moreover, this volume challenges the state of the art, because―by studying the failed nation, the aspiring nation, the nation-tobe, and the region as an intricate part of the nation―the authors have taken a starting point that is hard to find in other studies (which usually start with the idea of the successful nation). Geographically, this book demonstrates an emphasis on Europe, debating a few nationalist movements in northern and north-western Europe— Scotland, Manx, Ireland, Denmark—and Central Europe, as illustrated by Bavaria, Slovenia, and Carinthia. However, it also moves beyond that part of the world to include examples from Turkey, New Sweden, and New Mexico in the United States of America (US) and, finally, Easter Island.

Hasta finales del siglo XX el estudio de instrumentos musicales antiguos se vio caracterizado por el interés de unos pocos individuos aislados como Francis William Galpin en Inglaterra y Curt Sachs en Alemania. Este panorama cambiaría a principios de los años ochenta, cuando se organiza un Grupo de Estudio sobre Arqueología Musical, establecido en el ICTM, el Consejo Internacional de Música Tradicional, logrando reunir a todos los interesados en el tema. A este se suma en los años noventa el Grupo de Estudio Internacional de Arqueología Musical ISGMA y entre los dos se ha producido una ingente labor editorial en las últimas cuatro décadas en las que se han publicado alrededor de una veintena de libros recogiendo gran cantidad de trabajos de investigación sobre música e instrumentos musicales anteriores a la formalización de estos en los siglos XVIII y XIX. En estos estudios han colaborado mano a mano expertos en el campo de la música, etnomusicólogos, historiadores y arqueólogos. El compendio aquí reseñado se puede conectar con la tradición iniciada por los dos grupos citados más arriba y recoge once trabajos que se proponen estudiar la música antigua del Mediterráneo tanto sagrada como profana, cubriendo unos tres mil años y un amplio territorio que se extiende desde Siria hasta Iberia, e incluyendo temáticas relacionadas con la antigua Mesopotamia y la civilización griega y romana así como entre las comunidades judías y sirias.

The book examines the production, distribution and reception of archaeological literature for the general public. Thornton deals with a period - the late 19th and early 20th centuries - when publishing houses were booming and a large proportion of the British public were keen readers. This was also a time when there were very few permanent positions for archaeologists in museums and even fewer in universities. Many new entrants to the discipline had only temporary positions; others were paid by funds, societies and private patrons. Professional and part-time archaeologists operated in a commercial world in which the discipline’s romantic image was being formed - partly because of their endeavours - and there were strong links with imperialism. This meant that an alternative source of income came from converting knowledge and experiences into cash through commercial publishing. Analysing how this took place is Thornton’s focus in this volume

Margarita Diaz-Andreu, ICREA research professor, University of Barcelona, is reading Lydia Carr's Tessa Verney Wheeler: Women and Archaeology before World War Two (Oxford University Press, 2012). "Archaeology often fails to acknowledge the contributions of female scholars when histories of the discipline are written, and it is always refreshing to find historical accounts that highlight what women accomplished. Although Verney Wheeler was overshadowed by her husband, Sir Mortimer Wheeler, Carr reveals the debt he owed to her in developing novel techniques of excavation, training students in fieldwork methods and bringing archaeology to the public. A thoughtful analysis and a good read"

Gender, together with style, religion and landscape, is one of the most popular topics in rock art studies. This book is a welcome addition to the growing literature on the subject. It is not a work of research but a book which seeks to summarise the state of play.. The account of gender in North American rock art (with some forays into rock art traditions elsewhere in the world) in Chapters 4 to 8 is undoubtedly the best part of the book. The information provided is fascinating because of its complexity, its erudition and its sophistication. The author’s knowledge of a vast range of relevant literature is most impressive on issues such as the relation between rock art and fertility shrines, authorship, life cycles, puberty rites and ritual landscape. Most of the information given is related to ethnographic sources, effectively bringing out the challenges their use entails in the interpretation of rock art. This book will have a significant impact on the field of North American rock art studies and will become a standard work of reference and point of departure for much future scholarship.

La Arqueoacústica es una ciencia en gran auge en los últimos años dentro de los estudios arqueológicos. En la actualidad, se están realizando diferentes investigaciones en la Península Ibérica con este nuevo enfoque. Estos buscan determinar la influencia y relación que puede llegar a existir entre el arte rupestre prehistórico (Paleolítico, Levantino y Esquemático), los lugares que lo contienen (cuevas y abrigos) y su acústica. En este artículo definimos qué es Arqueoacústica, detallamos de forma general el estado de sus investigaciones de cronología prehistórica en la actualidad y presentamos la metodología y los resultados de los estudios que se están realizando en la Península Ibérica en el arte rupestre postpaleolítico.

Archaeoacoustics is an increasingly popular field of research within archaeology. In the Iberian Peninsula there are currently several different projects being undertaken. In the area of rock art studies, these seek to determine the relationship between prehistoric rock art (Palaeolithic, Levantine and Schematic) in its landscape context (caves and shelters) and acoustics.In this article we will first define Archaeoacoustics and detail the research being undertaken in relation to prehistoric rock art. We will also explain the methodology and results of current research projects related to postpaleolithic rock art in the Iberian Peninsula.

abstract of talk: Bonnie Effros is a Professor of History and the Rothman Chair and Director of the Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere at the University of Florida, and currently a visiting scholar at the Centre des études supérieures de la civilisation médiévale at the Université de Poitiers (2015-2016). She is the author of four books, three on funerary ritual in early medieval Gaul, and the most recent on the history of French archaeology: Uncovering the Germanic Past: Merovingian Archaeology in France, 1830-1914 (Oxford University Press, 2012). She is currently writing a monograph on French colonial archaeology entitled Incidental Archaeologists: French Officers and the (Re)discovery of Roman North Africa, 1830-1870 (Cornell University Press).

Abstract: By the mid-nineteenth century, a new generation of scientists adopted what they characterized as a more objective scientific approach that harnessed empirical data gathered for this purpose. Led in Paris by Paul Broca, a neurologist and polygenist, advocates of the discipline of physical anthropology embraced a narrowly focused field that excluded many of the contributions of better-established disciplines like linguistics, phrenology, and ethnology. Armed with statistical methodologies from the biological sciences, they moved from the tradition of measuring the impact of environment on cultures and civilizations to identifying physiological features as the determining factor in human difference. This change represented a victory, at least temporarily, of quantifiable biological measurements over more abstract hypotheses about the impact of environmental, lifestyle, and migratory factors on human society. However, the broader historical implication of the scientific “turn” in anthropology was that from this point forward debate among archaeologists just as historians was grounded upon race as an allegedly immutable characteristic of identity. Offering two case studies from this period, that of early medieval gentes like the Franks whose remains were thought to be found across France, and that of the prehistoric peoples who inhabited the French colony of Algeria, I will demonstrate the impact of national and colonial ideology on the methods and conclusions drawn by physical anthropologists in Paris during the late nineteenth century.

This edited volume is dedicated to national-socialist archaeology as a Europe-wide phenomenon. It analyses the national-socialist attempts to denationalize the archaeologies of the European nations by creating a new unifying European archaeology on a racial base. It furthermore evaluates the long-term impact of national-socialist rule on the development of European archaeology after 1945 to networks, methods and terms, institutional structures or popular representations of the early past.

The volume consists of 27 chapters and is edited by the historian Martijn Eickhoff (NIOD, Amsterdam) and the archaeologist Daniel Modl (Universalmuseum Joanneum, Graz). Each chapter deals with a specific European nation of region (both sub-national and supra-national) and is written by (an) author(s) with institutional connections to the area involved. The book will be published by Springer International Publishing AG. The expected date of publication is spring 2018.

In this article, written within the framework of the European Curbatheri-Deep Cities project, we explain our thoughts on new ways of approaching the conservation of urban heritage in the cities of Barcelona (Sant Andreu) and London (Woolwich). Although special emphasis has been placed on historical methods to describe, interpret and evaluate the urban heritage defined by historical transformations, less attention has been paid to the way in which the knowledge and uses contributed by society can be integrated. In this sense, the use of different ethnographic methodologies as an instrument for fostering dialogue between stakeholders.
