Book Description
On 5th, 6th and 7th December 1970 a meeting of the Research Seminar in Archaeology and Related Subjects, was held at the Institute of Archaeology, London University, to discuss Settlement Patterns and Urbanization. This meeting - like its predecessor on the Domestication and Exploitation of Plants and Animals, which also resulted in a book - was called to enable researchers in different disciplines to meet in an attempt to bridge the gaps between them by personal contact and discussion. The range and scope of papers included in this volume reflect the unique importance of the subject and, it is believed, the essential nature of inter-disciplinary approaches to such subjects. Both the concept of non-urban settlement and the nature of urbanism itself are discussed. Mobility and settled life are considered in detail as well as such factors as demarcation and defence, population and disease. Finally, there are several studies of specific communities and particular periods of antiquity.

The Domestication and Exploitation of Plants and Animals
Author: G. W. Dimbleby
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351483420
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 685
Book Description
The domestication of plants and animals was one of the greatest steps forward taken by mankind. Although it was first achieved long ago, we still need to know what led to it and how, and even when, it took place. Only when we have this understanding will we be able to appreciate fully the important social and economic consequences of this step. Even more important, an understanding of this achievement is basic to any insight into modern man's relationship to his habitat. In the last decade or two a change in methods of investigating these events has taken place, due to the mutual realization by archaeologists and natural scientists that each held part of the key and neither alone had the whole. Inevitably, perhaps, the floodgate that was opened has resulted in a spate of new knowledge, which is scattered in the form of specialist reports in diverse journals. This volume results from presentations at the Institute of Archaeology, London University, discussing the domestication and exploitation of plants and animals. Workers in the archaeological, anthropological, and biological fields attempted to bridge the gap between their respective disciplines through personal contact and discussion. Modern techniques and the result of their application to the classical problems of domestication, selection, and spread of cereals and of cattle were discussed, but so were comparable problems in plants and animals not previously considered in this context. Although there were differing opinions on taxonomic classification, the editors have standardized and simplified the usage throughout this book. In particular, they have omitted references to authorities and adopted the binomial classification for both botanical and zoological names. They followed this procedure in all cases except where sub-specific differences are discussed and also standardized orthography of sites.
