The historical archaeologist has various means to date artifacts. Stratigraphic comparisons, manufacturing techniques, as well as historical and comparative studies, enable the researcher to obtain dates of production for the objects for which dates are sought. However, artifacts unearthed from upper strata on historical sites are sometime dismissed as "modern", and left undated. These objects are readily recognized as twentieth century artifacts, and archaeologists seem content with this broad chronological identification. In certain contexts, however, there exists a need to obtain a solid chronology for finds produced during this century. In this paper, the author presents two episodes based on his experience on Canadian historic sites, where well dated twentieth century objects proved to be important chronological indicators. The artifacts were dated using Rural/oral history and company records. Finally, it is hoped that this article will indicate that twentieth century artifacts are worthy of equal analytical treatment as their earlier counterparts.

ResumoEste artigo relaciona o cinema, como meio de comunicação, à história oral e seus entrelaçamentos com a história do tempo presente, atentando para os testemunhos, utilizados como recurso estético e político nos filmes Que bom te ver viva, da cineasta brasileira Lúcia Murat, e Los rubios, da argentina Albertina Carri. Podendo ser categorizadas como documentários-ficção, ambas as realizações lidam com os traumas resultantes da violência ditatorial em seus países de origem, na segunda metade do século XX. Em que medida servem estes filmes como fontes para estudos que se apoiam na história oral é o que pretendemos discutir neste artigo. Palavras-chave: Cinema; História oral; Que bom te ver viva; Los rubios AbstractThis article aims to treat cinema, as a way of communication, in its relationship with Oral History and its ties with Present Time History, attempting to testimonies used as aesthetic and political resources inside films like Que bom te ver viva, by the Brazilian film maker Lúcia Murat, and Los rubios, by the Argentine film maker Albertina Carri. Categorized as fictional documentaries, both films deal with the traumas that result of dictatorial violence in their countries of production, in the second half of the twentieth century. How can these films be used as sources of investigation by studies based on Oral History is a question to be answered in this article. Key-words: Cinema; Oral History; Que bom te ver viva; Los rubios ResumenEste artículo relaciona el cine, como medio de comunicación, a la historia oral y sus entrelazamientos con la historia del tiempo presente, al atentar para los testimonios utilizados como recurso estético y político en las películas Que bom te ver viva, de la realizadora brasileña Lúcia Murat, y Los rubios, de la argentina Albertina Carri.

The end of the twentieth century saw an emphasis on more spiritual or metaphorical interpretations of Mormon historic sites, yet that spiritual turn included an affective, experiential element as well. Thus, the late twentieth-century activities made of the Mormon Trail a museum, a playground, and a temple: a “lineal temple,” a sacred space, where members could come to experience their history and theology under the umbrella of authenticity.

Chapter 3 explores the practices of photography clubs. Throughout Ireland, during the twentieth century, men and women spent their evenings in the dark rooms of photography clubs, and their weekends on days out to historic sites and beauty spots organized by these groups. As such, these organizations played an important role in mediating ideas of photographic value, technical perfection, and the picturesque. This chapter explores their history, and uses the way photography was taught to explore the relationship between photographic aesthetics and how society and people were envisioned through landscape. Until the late 1960s, the photographic conventions propounded by organizations such as the Photographic Society of Ireland and the Belfast Central Camera Club tended towards conservatism in both content and style. Amateur enthusiasts in general adhered to the pictorial tradition of studied set pieces—of sweeping hills or the curve of a beach offset by a white cottage—cropped and adapted to reach a standard of technical formalism and perfection in line with conventions derived from painting. Moreover, discussions of the respective merits of documentary and pictorial styles for depicting landscape within the amateur photographic press, although framed as aesthetic arguments, encompassed bigger issues. Correspondents debated their ability to respond to the upheavals of European modernity and their responsibility to depict uncomfortable themes through photography. As such, concerns about style became broader arguments regarding Ireland’s position within Europe, the boundaries of society, and the nature of the visible within Irish life.

History Approach

Western literature has focused on medical plurality but also on the pervasive existence of quacks who managed to survive from at least the eighteenth to the twentieth century. Focal points of their practices have been their efforts at enrichment and their extensive advertising. In Greece, empirical, untrained healers in the first half of the twentieth century do not fit in with this picture. They did not ask for payment, although they did accept ‘gifts’; they did not advertise their practice; and they had fixed places of residence. Licensed physicians did not undertake a concerted attack against them, as happened in the West against the quacks, and neither did the state. In this paper, it is argued that both the protection offered by their localities to resident popular healers and the healers’ lack of demand for monetary payment were jointly responsible for the lack of prosecutions of popular healers. Moreover, the linking of popular medicine with ancient traditions, as put forward by influential folklore studies, also reduced the likelihood of an aggressive discourse against the popular healers. Although the Greek situation in the early twentieth century contrasts with the historiography on quacks, it is much more in line with that on wise women and cunning-folk. It is thus the identification of these groups of healers in Greece and elsewhere, mostly through the use of oral histories but also through folklore studies, that reveals a different story from that of the aggressive discourse of medical men against quacks.

En este artículo abordaremos algunas cuestiones relacionadas con la Educación Inicial y el protagonismo de las mujeres en la misma en los albores de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Nos interesa analizar cómo se constituye un modo de ser “maestra jardinera” y para ello debemos remontarnos a los aportes de los primeros pensadores que advertían sobre el lugar protagónico de la madre en la construcción de una sociedad nombrada como educada. Las prescripciones para ser mujer y madre parecen influir de modo decisivo en las representaciones acerca del ser “maestra jardinera".. MULHERES E EDUCAÇÃO DA PRIMEIRA INFÂNCIA NA ARGENTINA NA DÉCADA DE 1960 Neste artigo, abordaremos algumas questões relacionadas à Educação Infantil e o papel da mulher no início da segunda metade do século XX. Interessa-nos analisar como se constitui um modo de ser "jardineiro mestre" e, para isso, devemos voltar às contribuições dos primeiros pensadores que alertaram sobre o lugar protagônico da mãe na construção de uma sociedade denominada de educada. As prescrições de ser mulher e mãe parecem ter influência decisiva sobre as representações de ser professora dos mais jovens, registradas nas fontes primárias e testemunhos da história oral. Palavras-chave: Mulher; Professor de jardim de infância; Jardim de infância. WOMEN AND EDUCATION OF FIRST CHILDHOOD IN ARGENTINA IN THE 1960S Abstract: in this article we will address some issues related to Early Education and the role of women in it at the dawn of the second half of the twentieth century. We are interested in analyzing how a way of being "master gardener" is constituted and, for that, we must go back to the contributions of the first thinkers who warned about the protagonic place of the mother in the construction of a society named as educated. The prescriptions for being a woman and a mother seem to have a decisive influence on the representations about being a teacher of the youngest ones, as recorded in the primary sources and testimonies of oral history.

<em>Microstoma protracta</em> (Fr.) Kanouse is a strictly protected species in Poland, which is also present on the red list with the category R (rare). In Poland, there are five known localities for the species, including four historical sites discovered at the beginning of the twentieth century and one contemporary site discovered at the end of the twentieth century. In this paper, we present two new localities for <em>M. protracta</em>, discovered in April 2006 in Czeszewo (Wielkopolska Lowland, Jarocin Forest District) and in April 2017 in Krakow-Tyniec (Krakow-Częstochowa Upland, Myślenice Forest District). Sequences of the nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer regions of sporocarps from contemporary localities have been deposited in the GenBank database. This is the first record of the DNA barcode for this species. According to Criterion D of the IUCN recommendations, it has been suggested that <em>M. protracta</em> should be considered as a critically endangered species (CR: D) in Poland.
