Monumentality and the Rise of Religious Authority in Precontact Hawai'i [and Comments and Reply

L'A. s'attache a demontrer la valeur d'une theorie de la pratique dans l'etude ethnologique de l'evolution politique et notamment de la centralisation politique, c'est-a-dire de la concentration du pouvoir. L'A. demontre qu'une approche basee sur la pratique des acteurs est plus plausible que les modeles materialiste, fonctionnel ou evolutioniste. Une etude de cas des populations des iles Niue et Tongatapu a permis de tester cette theorie.

L'auteur etudie, grâce aux donnees archeologiques, historiques et paleobotaniques issues des environs de la cite de Vijayanagara (Inde meridionale) de l'epoque pre-coloniale recente (v. 1300-1700 apr. J.-C.), la multiplicite des strategies de production et d'intensification agricoles. L'article est suivi de plusieurs commentaires et d'une reponse de l'auteur

The Transition Between Hunting and Gathering and the Specialized Husbandry of Resources: A Socio-ecological Approach [and Comments and Reply

Historique des expeditions decidees a trouver les murs detruits par Josue. Reexamen des conclusions de K. Kenyon, grâce a la derniere publication de T. A. Holland. Expose des sequences chronologiques depuis le Natoufien (de I a XI) et leur datation C14. Afin de reconsiderer les interpretations de K. Kenyon, l'A. explore l'evolution generale des cultures prehistoriques du Proche-Orient, la position speciale de Jericho, les processus geomorphologiques qui influencerent son histoire. Il semble que les murs du PPNA aient ete construits a un moment ou les habitants songeaient surtout a proteger leurs installations des caprices de la nature
