Islamic Archaeology | Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations Archaeological research is fundamental to the investigation of the origins and development of the world’s earliest civilizations. The University of Chicago has long played a major role in this enterprise, both in fielding archaeological expeditions in the Near East and in developing new approaches to the interpretation of what has been found. Students of archaeology in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations participate in archaeological fieldwork and in a rigorous program of academic study that equips them to become skilled recorders and interpreters of the immense cultural heritage of the Near East. Graduates of this program have successfully pursued professional careers in archaeology in a variety of academic and institutional settings. The Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations is housed in the premises of the Oriental Institute, a separate research institution that is a major contributor to all fields of ancient Near Eastern studies.
Webpage_fr_gen Présentée par Martin Lominy, archéologue et éducateur Spécialiste en archéologie précolombienne La civilisation maya doit sa célébrité à son architecture monumentale qui témoigne d'un développement socio-culturel des hautes terres du Guatémala aux basses terres du Yucatán de 500 av. à 1500 ap. J.-C. Depuis son dévoilement par l'explorateur John Lloyd Stephens et l'artiste Frederick Catherwood au 19e siècle, l'architecture monumentale maya n'a cessée de fasciner et demeure le sujet d'innombrables études et d'importants débats sur la culture des anciens Mayas. Cette exposition virtuelle est une introduction à l'architecture maya basée sur les recherches de l'auteur.
'British Archaeology' home page The Paleoanthropology Society Home Page SOCIÉTÉ FRANÇAISE D'ARCHÉOLOGIE IASC Archaeological sources of environmental, social and cultural data are frequently overlooked in broad arctic science initiatives, including those that have an applied component. Yet in many recent national and international science plans and initiatives understanding past arctic states, including human dimension, these sources identified as critical for developing accurate projections of future changes and for managing and adapting to change. Outside of the polar regions, archaeology has shown it’s potential for illumination of global and regional environmental change events, particularly with respect to changes in ecosystems, upper trophic levels, and human systems. Arctic archaeological sites, especially those that are permafrozen, contain a wealth of baseline biological and downscale climatological data in the form of preserved flora, fauna and in sediments. www.polararchaeologynetwork.blogg.no
