Archaeology Group

The question of ethnicity is highly controversial in contemporary archaeology. Indigenous and nationalist claims to territory often rely on reconstructions of the past based on the identification of cultures from archaeological remains, in spite of the fact that many consider the association of remains with past ethnic groups to be hopelessly inadequate. Sian Jones examines historical misuses of this type and argues that the archaeology of ethnicity has never really been subjected to any serious theoretical analysis. She responds to the need for a reassessment of the ways in which social groups are identified in the archaeological record with a comprehensive and critical synthesis of recent theories of ethnicity. In so doing, she argues for a fundamentally different view of ethnicity as a complex dynamic form of identification, requiring radical changes in archaeological analysis and interpretation.

Who were the Iron Age peoples of Europe? Celts, Germans, Scythians: these are among the names that come to mind. But such names and the characteristics associated with them, come to us from outside observers -- Greek and Roman writers -- not from the native peoples themselves. To understand how late prehistoric groups constructed and expressed their identities, we need to examine the rich archaeological evidence left by the Iron Age Europeans themselves. Recent theoretical and methodological advances in anthropology, archaeology and history, together with results of archaeological research all over Europe, provide the basis for a new approach to the problem of the identities of Iron Age peoples. Peter Wells uses patterns of identity revealed in the archaeology to interpret the commentaries of Greek and Roman authors who conveyed their own perceptions of these non-literate groups. Finally, he examines ways in which Iron Age Europeans responded to the Greek and Roman representations of them. The result was an ever-changing mosaic of complex and dynamic identities among the diverse peoples of Late Iron Age Europe.

Primary group/Secondary group - A Primary group is a typically small social group whose members share close, personal, enduring Primary relationships. These groups are marked by member's concern for one another, shared activities and culture, and long periods of time spent together.

Permutation group - In mathematics, a permutation group is a group G whose elements are permutations of a given set M, and whose group operation is the composition of permutations in G (which are thought of as bijective functions from the set M to itself); the relationship is often written as (G,M). Note that the group of all permutations of a set is the symmetric group; the term permutation group is usually restricted to mean a subgroup of the symmetric group.

Hyperbolic group - In group theory, a hyperbolic group, also called negatively curved group, word-hyperbolic group, Gromov-hyperbolic group, \delta-hyperbolic group, is a finitely generated group equipped with a word metric satisfying certain properties characteristic of hyperbolic geometry.

Australian archaeology - Australian Archaeology is a large sub-field in the discipline of Archaeology. The focus of archaeology in Australia largely takes two forms, Aboriginal Archaeology (the archaeology of Aborigines and Australia before European Settlement) and Historical Archaeology (the archaeology of Australia after European Settlement).
