Acta Archaeologica, Volume I-XX

Kobenhavn, Levin & Munksgaard, . First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 4to 11" - 13" tall. Massively heavy, oversized volumes, 65+ pounds overall, so prepare for additional postage costs. Acta Archaeologica, Volume I-XX, a Near Fine condition set of the first 20 volumes, consecutive, of the influential Denmark-based journal published in Kobenhavn, Denmark by Levin & Munksgaard, devoted to archaeology, ethnology and ethnography, mostly but not wholly devoted to Northern Europe. Not ex-library, with neither highlighting nor underlining. Sturdily bound in rust-colored cloth over boards format, with decorated, marbled paper over boards, not ex-library, one bookplate, but no marginal notes. Spine heads and feet bumped slightly, only very minor wear to tips, edges, extremities, minor dust soiling to edges, and they look most handsome on the shelf. Mostly English language contributions and those also in French and Italian and German, and with only a few in Danish or Swedish.Exceedingly scarce in the trade, there being only large, hideously expensive runs and odd volumes here and there, not typically of these first 20 volumes. Acta Archaeologica was founded in 1930 and soon became the leading scientific international archaeological periodical in Scandinavia, covering the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean, Near Eastern archaeology, and some works of social history and literature as excavated. Acta Archaeologica is published annually, and each volume consists of 200 to 250 large pages, beautifully illustrated with fine black-and-white illustrations and photographs, and all the photographic plates are printed on fine, high-gloss paper. Double-column text. The papers are in English, German, French, or Italian, the journal is well-edited, and it remains of lasting value. Acta Archaeologica covers the archaeology of Scandinavia and Northern Europe until roughly the late Medieval period but with a mind to situating Northern Europe in its wider continental context. Contributions from arctic, maritime and other branches of archaeology, as well as from other continents, are included. The inaugural volume’s title page shows that the General Editor was J. Brondstedt, and that there was an editorial board headed by Axel Boethius, in Rome, A.W. Brogger in Oslo, J. Brondsted in Copenhagen, K. Friis Johansen in Copenhagen, Sune Lindqvist, Uppsala, C.A. Nordman, Helsingfors, Poul Norlund, Copenhaven, Haakon Shetelig, Bergen and Bent Thordeman, Stockholm. That editorial board stayed remarkably stable over the years.This inaugural run is comprised of the following volumes: Acta Archaeologica, Volume I, 1930, featuring 20 chapters, Table of Contents arranged alphabetically by last name of author, and a Prefatory Note in English, written by the editorial board, noting that â€oeActa Archaeologica, of which this is the first number, is an archaeological journal that has been started by means of cooperation of northern scientists and will be supported and maintained by the whole great fellowship of northern archaeology” (pp. 10-11). English language chapter by Harald Inghold, â€oeThe Oldest Known Grave-Relief From Palmyra,” and 22 fine black-and-white plates, all present, and several score more black-and-white illustrations. 302 pp., including a full index to Volume I.

Revista Archeologica E Historica, Publicacao Mensal, Volume I, 1887, Volume II, 1888

Lisboa, Portugal, Adolpho, Medsto & Ca., . First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Scarce in the trade, there being currently no additional copies available of this Portuguese-language journal of science and discovery, history and archaeology, much less a Presentation Copy thereof (see below). Two volumes bound as one, combining 1887 and 1888 in one volume. Marbled paper over boards, cream leather over tips, spine, gilt lettering over labels on two cloth labels in two compartments. Age-toning to text, very light soiling here and there, but marbled endpapers, very tight binding, and marks of neither highlighting nor underlining anyway. Five raised bands, very handsome volume overall. The tome came from the personal library of Amour-Auguste-Louis-Joseph Berthelot, Baron de Baye, born January 31, 1853 in Paris, died in the same city on August 21, 1931, a French archaeologist and traveler and who even contributed to one of the volumes (see below). A French-language Wikipedia article about him has it that â€oeJoseph” was the son of Auguste and Georgina Wilkinson of British origin. Wealthy enough to escape the rigors of military service, he eventually â€oediscovered” archaeology when on a hunt with his father. He began a collection of cut flint from the Plateau de la Vieille Andecy and began real studies at the end of 1871, and was eventually tutored by Father Alphonse Bordé (1824-1899). He participated first in an archaeological congress in Moscow, in 1890, and continued to do so until the declaration of the First World War. Arrested twice and eventually imprisoned, he was released in 1920 following the intervention of Natalia Sedova, Trostky's second wife. He enjoyed a long and distinguished career in archaeology and became president of the Société des Antiquaires de France in 1906. Pasted in is a fine condition short note to him from the senior editor, in French and in written with an extremely fine pen, and with his pleasantries and credentials added at end.

Stone Tool Use at Cerros

Austin, Texas, University of Texas, Austin, 1987. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Fine-looking, structurally sound hardcover, little discernible wear, bright interior, unmarked. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, little worn. Bound simply in gray linen cloth over boards, sharp and distinct gilt lettering to spine. From the publisher's blurb, "For centuries, scholars have pondered and speculated over the uses of the chipped stone implements uncovered at archaeological sites. Recently a number of researchers have attempted to determine prehistoric tool function through experimentation and through observation of the few remaining human groups who still retain this knowledge. Learning how stone tools were made and used in the past can tell us a great deal about ancient economic systems, exchange networks, and the social and political structure of prehistoric societies. Suzanne M. Lewenstein used the artifacts from Cerros, an important Late Preclassic (200 B.C.- A.D. 200) Mayan site in northern Belize, to study stone tool function. Through a comprehensive program of experimentation with stone tool replicas, she was able not only to infer the tasks performed by individual tool specimens but also to recognize a wide variety of past activities for which stone tools were used. Unlike previous works which focused on hunter-gatherer groups, STONE TOOL USE AT CERROS is the first comprehensive experimental study of tool use in an agricultural society."" The author earned her Ph.D. in anthropology in 1984 from Arizona State University. Many, many score black-and-white illustrations and photographs, charts and tables.
