About This Item

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1995. IX,195p. ills.(B&W photographs and line drawings). Paperback. Lower corner front cover a bit creased. ?Cet ouvrage est le fruit d?une conférence tenue à Cambridge en 1990, dans le but de préciser les apports possibles de ?l?intelligence artificielle, la psychologie cognitive et l?anthropologie cognitive? à l?archéologie cognitive, ainsi que les problèmes et les méthodes propres à celle-ci (p.XIII). (?) chacun des thèmes abordés dans les parties centrales du livre (II à VI) aurait pu faire l?objet d?un colloque et d?un livre séparés. (?) On veut montrer qu?une archéologique de l?esprit? est possible, selon la formule proposée par C. Renfrew, et que ses démarches peuvent être tenues pour scientifiques dès lors qu?elle accepte de soumettre ses hypothèses à la ?testabilité? dont James Bell se fait ici l?ardent défenseur. Ce double objectif est parfaitement légitime; toutefois, il me semble être à l?origine d?une certaine ambivalence dans les définitions de l?archéologie cognitive proposée tour à tour par les différents auteurs. (?) Ce livre est important à la fois par la hauteur des visées assignées à la recherche archéologique et par l?honnêteté des études de faisabilité qui accompagnent le propos.? (JEAN-CLAUDE GARDIN in L?Homme, 1995, pp.244-45).

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity

Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
