AbstractThis paper outlines several outreach initiatives that the Proyecto de Investigación Arqueológico Regional Ancash (PIARA) established to address the challenges of heritage preservation at the prehistoric archaeological site and rural community of Hualcayán, located in rural highland Ancash, Peru. We discuss three projects—a heritage festival, a textile enterprise, and an oral history project—that were designed and executed through a collaboration between PIARA and the Hualcayán community. We find that these “co-creative” projects encourage local stakeholders to discover and define for themselves the value of both their ancient and modern heritage. Reflecting on the outcomes from these projects, we discuss the co-creative approach as an effective strategy for improving the preservation of archaeological remains and enhancing the livelihood of the modern community.

This article written to explain about heritage preservation in Banda, especially how to made some management and utilization of cultural heritage in Banda Island. Banda actually is an important locality related to past civilization, where in this area there are many traces of colonial buildings that must be preserved in order to treat the historiographical pieces that exist in one of Indonesia regions. In the past, Neira Island was the center of trade and cultural activities for the various ethnic groups. This research aims to look at the various archaeological remains in Banda Neira and what kind of management form that use have been carried out by various stakeholders there. Are they use management and utilization based on significance value and conservation perspective. The methods applied in this research are surveys and interviews. The result showed that Neira which has aquite number of archaeological remains in the form of colonial buildings, has now changed its use to government offices, mini museums, and etc. The management of cultural heritage in Neira shows a situation where the function and use of colonial buildings has not been managed optimally. In other words, management that ignores significance value and not to tendention for conservation and preserved authentic value of archaeological remains, will ruined as cultural heritage meaning. Artikel ini ditulis untuk melihat bagaimana pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan warisan budaya yang ada di Pulau Banda. Pulau Banda sendiri menjadi lokalitas penting berkaitan dengan peradaban silam, dimana di wilayah ini banyak terdapat jejak tinggalan bangunan kolonial yang harus dipreservasi guna merawat kepingan historiografi yang ada di salah satu wilayah Indonesia. Pulau Neira di masa lalu menjadi pusat aktivitas perdagangan dan kultural dari berbagai suku bangsa yang pernah singgah di wilayah ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat pelbagai tinggalan arkeologis di Banda Neira dan menilik bentuk pemanfaatan dan pengelolaan yang sudah dilakukan oleh berbagai pemangku kepentingan di sana. Apakah pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan jejak tinggalan arkeologis disana sudah berbasis nilai penting dan berwawasan pelestarian. Metode yang diterapkan dalam penelitian ini adalah survei dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Neira yang memiliki cukup banyak tinggalan arkeologis berupa bangunan kolonial, kini penggunaanya telah beralih fungsi menjadi kantor pemerintahan, museum mini, dan sebagainya. Pengelolaan warisan budaya di Neira menunjukkan situasi dimana alih fungsi pemanfaatan bangunan kolonial, belum dikelola secara maksimal. Dengan kata lain pengelolaan yang tidak mengindahkan manajemen berbasis nilai penting dan bertendensi pelestarian akan mengakibatkan tergerusnya nilai otentik dari tinggalan-tinggalan arkeologis tersebut sebagai cikal bakal cagar budaya. Kata kunci: Nilai penting; pelestarian; warisan budaya; manajemen sumberdaya budaya.

The Past

The India–Pakistan border in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) has witnessed repeated ceasefire violations (CFVs) over the past decade. Indeed, with relations between India and Pakistan degrading, CFVs have gone up exponentially. These CFVs have the potential to not only begin a crisis but also escalate an ongoing one. To make things worse, in the event of major violations, political leadership on either side often engage in high-pitched rhetoric some of which even have nuclear undertones. Using fresh empirical data and oral history evidence, this book explains the causes of CFVs on the J&K border and establishes a relationship between CFVs and crisis escalation between India and Pakistan. In doing so, the book further nuances the existing arguments about the escalatory dynamics between the two South Asian nuclear rivals. Furthermore, the book explains ceasefire violations using the concept of ‘autonomous military factors’.

A striking feature of Palestinian oral history projects is the extensive use that interviewees make of direct speech to communicate their memories—especially those born before the 1948 Arab–Israeli war. They do so irrespective of whether or not they participated in or actually heard the dialogues they wish to convey. This article seeks to characterize and explain this phenomenon. In the interviews conducted by the author—an Arabic-speaking Jew—as well as in other projects, this mode of speech is marked by ease of transition from character to character and between different points in time. It clearly gives pleasure to those engaged in the act of remembering, and it grades readily into a theatrical performance in which tone of speech and the quality of the acting become the main thing. This form of discourse sprang up from the soil of a rural oral culture and still flourishes as a prop for supporting memory, a vessel for collecting and disseminating stories, and a technique for expressing identification with significant figures from the past.

AbstractIn this article I introduce our collection of oral histories composed of life histories recorded between 2001 and 2006. First, I discuss some devices implemented in the process of collecting life histories, which was to make oral histories 'polyphonic'. I then suggest that oral history always has a 'dual' tense, in that people talk about 'the past' from the view point of 'the present'. This is illustrated by six cases of statesmen narrating their views about socialist modernisation. Finally, using one of the cases, I demonstrate the co-existence of non-official or private opinions along with official opinions about the socialist period in life-history narratives in the post-socialist period. I call this 'ex-post value'.

En este artículo, tenemos la intención de presentar<br />los resultados de la investigación que hemos desarrollado en el sitio en los últimos 15 años, destacando el análisis del material cerámico como elemento de datación de las diferentes fases de ocupación de Mileu. Su análisis confirma una secuencia ocupacional desde la primera mitad del siglo I A.D hasta los siglos XII / XIII. Los materiales romanos analizados son principalmente de importación, permitiendo no solo una datación de contextos, sino también comprender su origen, el contexto de su uso o cuestiones relacionadas con las rutas comerciales dentro del Imperio Romano y el cruce del territorio de la Beira Interior. En cuanto a los materiales medievales, de producción local, muestran la continuación de la ocupación del yacimiento en épocas pos-romana</p><p>Accidentally discovered in 1951, during the construction of the link road between the historic city and the railroad station, the archaeological site of Mileu quickly became one of the most emblematic archaeological sites of Beira Interior.

Over the past decade, photogrammetric recording and virtual 3D modelling have evolved as a standard practice in documenting shipwreck sites. Exploiting the same methods, we can attempt to virtually reconstruct the dynamics of an accident leading to the creation of an archaeological site. By applying modern engineering tools capable of deploying multi-body system dynamics to simulate the damaging, capsizing and/or sinking of a ship, we can model and analyse the various possible scenarios of an incident occurring to an ancient merchantman. Subsequently, we can establish the correlation between the characteristics of the actual shipwreck site, and the outcome of the numerical simulation of the assumed scenario.
