Indian From Stonehenge, Machu Pichu druids and aliens populated the earth ...
long, long time I had a small number of entries that were on (re) use of symbols 'archaeological' for political or folk. The first two thoughts after the IAEA have focused on two closely related issues, the political positioning and peoples. In this third cripple both the mixed and raised to the nth degree in the field most attractive of all, the archaea-appeal. Same
is heavy without pictures, but the truth is I would not know which to choose and I'll repeat, so for photos, looking out the window and think 'archaeological'.
The thing is that this post had pending two thoughts ...
1. What is an archaeological symbol? This is the question that Sergio André and I did ... And the truth is that I went blank, because actually we are not always the ones who create these symbols as a social
product. In answer, I came to mind cave paintings, pyramids, the Romans (and Greeks) with all its 'archaeological heritage' which I consider symbols. Pasado Reciclado. Pero efectivamente ya estaban allí... no son arqueología sino una evocación cultural que forma parte de nuestra sociedad. Queda abierto para discusión...
2. Lo reciclamos todo... y los esquemas que manejamos están obsoletos. Como Bea decía con respecto a la educación, en vez de adaptar España a Bolonia, estamos adaptando Bolonia a España. En arqueología, en vez de crear nuestro discurso desde nuestro registro, adaptamos el registro al discurso que ya existe. Y antes que nosotros, todos 'reciclaron' discursos, símbolos y lugares en lugar de cambiarlos. Al final voy a poner una foto de actualidad (mirando por la ventana) y sigo:
Today was renaming the town hall square and plaza in Valencia May 15. Name changes in roads and public spaces (with changes statue) are another example of 'recycling' of the past. 2,000 years ago, the Romans rebaptized temples and sacred sites. About 1,500 Christians did the same. A few months ago, some archaeologists blamed the presence of silica in modern contexts to postdepositional processes. A few days ago a new age group claimed as its own Stonehenge environment, but of course, since the Mayans were there seems to be the only safe place for 2012 (or not, that the world ends tomorrow ... I guess by police batons to break up protests.)
Anyway, as we 'recycle' our discourse by adapting the record to what we already have, the alternative revolution and Annunaki do the same position as not supporting the dominant ideology, keep the schemes 'orthodox' supports any criticism with regard to these schemes.
With this reflection I want to open a debate in addition to the symbols ... Why are we still driving an interpretive framework obsolete?
