This paper discusses the questions concerned with the Taman Expedition of the State Academy of the History of Material Culture (GAIMK) headed by Aleksandr A. Miller. Notwithstanding the ever-increasing number of publications devoted to the history of the national archaeology during the 1920s–1930s, many of its moments still remain unknown. This is true, inter alia, concerning the history of the organization and activities of the Taman Expedi- tion in 1930.

Female Literacy

This chapter explores a more concrete and historicized figure of the woman reader. It explores the forces that make her appear and disappear, and surveys the state of knowledge on medieval female literacy, and the documentary evidence on women readers. It investigates typically female modes of reading (such as the educational, the devotional, and the courtly) and the visual models that were available to vernacular authors to forge their imagined textual interlocutor. It shows how the protagonist of this book is the product of two cultural events within the history of reading and the material culture of the book: the raise of literacy among the laity and women in the years under consideration, and a changed scenario insofar as theories and practices of reading are concerned.

AbstractChronology is a fundamental prerequisite for problem-oriented, anthropologically relevant archaeology. It is also the shaky foundation that has hampered attempts to reconstruct the culture history of Cholula, Mexico. Cholula is among the oldest continuously occupied urban centers of the New World, yet it remains one of the most enigmatic. This paper evaluates previous cultural sequences for the site, and summarizes recent evidence to construct a chronology using absolute dates and ceramic assemblages from primary depositional contexts. This revised sequence features a clearer understanding of Middle Formative settlement and the definition of ritual and domestic contexts from the Classic period. In addition, there is now evidence for a gradual transition between Late Classic and Early Postclassic material culture; and for the evolution of the Postclassic polychrome tradition within a sequence of short, clearly defined phases.

Este estudo ilumina parcialmente acomplexa relação dos sujeitos que desenvolveram o modo de fazer a Capoeira – cultura imaterial – com os objetos, materiais e ambientes que compuseram a cultura material do jogo-luta, e suas respectivas simbologias, bem como o seu modo de transmissão e aprendizagem no período estudado.Palavras-chave: Capoeira; Cultura Material; História. The materiality of an immaterial culture: aspects of material culture of Capoeira in Rio de Janeiro in the nineteenth centuryAbstractThe history of education increasingly focuses on non-school education practices, understanding that this is done within a mosaic of social interactions. Understanding the uses and meanings of the material aspects involved in the transmission of cultural practices is an essential and determining factor to know the educational processes involved in any sociocultural phenomenon that inhabits a relationship of teaching and learning. This article aimed to investigate the material culture of the intangible cultural heritage that is Capoeira, and its pedagogical processes in Rio de Janeiro in the nineteenth century. This study partially illuminates the complex relationship of individuals who developed the way of doing Capoeira - immaterial culture - with objects, materials and environments that formed the material culture of the play-fighting, its symbols, and its mode of transmission and learning during the studied time.Keywords: Capoeira; Material Culture; History.

Insight Into

The inventory of Tallinn merchant Michael Meyer’s (1704–1758) property is one of the largest inventories of an 18th century citizen of Tallinn. Almost the entire world of his possessions is reflected in this unique source. The inventory provides a comprehensive picture of his success, lifestyle, and hobbies, and the diverse list of household items provides a good idea of a prosperous merchant’s home in northeast Europe in the 18th century. The unique body of sources (Michael Meyer’s will, property inventory, and auction reports) provides comprehensive insight into the development of Tallinn’s material culture, i.e., the material culture history of Northern Europe, during the century of Enlightenment.

Born in the Murmansk Oblast, Vladimir Ivanovich Timofeyev lived a short but bright and creative life full of scientific research and achievements. As far as studying at the department of Archaeology of Leningrad State University, he chose the Holocene Stone Age as the topic for his research, to which he remained faithful up to the end of life. Working his way up from a laboratory assistant to the head of the Paleolithic Department of Leningrad Institute of Archaeology within the Academy of Science USSR-Institute for the Material Culture History of Russian Academy of Sciences, he proved himself as a purposeful, highly educated specialist who had extensive knowledge in field research, scientific methods and archaeological theory. Excellent memory, analytical abilities and diligence of Vladimir Ivanovich were noted by all colleagues and friends, both Russian and foreign ones, during expeditions and at conferences. The deserved recognition of Vladimir Ivanovich as the greatest expert of the Neolithic Age is unquestionable and it was about to be developed in doctoral thesis. Full sections of this work were discussed many times at the meetings of the Paleolithic Department and the Academic Council of Institute for the Material Culture History and always received the highest appreciation. Unfortunately, a tragic accident cut short the life path of a first-class archaeologist and Vladimir Ivanovich Timofeevs extensive final research devoted to a wide range of Neolithic problems was never completed. Almost 13 years have elapsed since the untimely passing of this talented scientist but the bitterness of loss does not become weaker.

Burial Mounds

In 1926 collection of items that allegedly were founded in a mound near the Sumy city of Kharkov province was transferred to the State Hermitage museum from the storehouse of antiquities of the State Academy for the History of Material Culture. According to the information given in the museums inventory book, this mound was excavated by N. E. Makarenko in 1915. However we couldn’t find any documents confirming this research. Even if the mound near the Sumy city existed, details of its structure as well as circumstances of the items discovery are still unknown. The most of peculiar interest items in the Hermitage collection are numerous iron parts of two Scythian-type wagons. In this article we have proposed the reconstruction of the wheels of these wagons that based in the analysis of the items. For some parts of wagons we have found analogies in the Scythian mounds in the Dnieper and the Kuban areas. At the same time, in the Hermitage collection there are Sindo-Meotian type swords and Meotian pottery of the IV century BC. Considering this fact, we have reviewed an alternative version of the origin of wagons parts. Some indirect signs allow us to correlate items from a mound near the Sumy city with the famous Elizabethan burial mounds. This fact is confirmed also by the comparison items from Hermitage collection with archive documents of excavations of the Elizabethan burial ground, in particular, with the photo of the wheels that were founded in the mound, excavated in 1915.
