Abstract

Sir Grahame Clark's interests in wetland archaeology were not restricted to his pioneering work at Star Carr and much of his writing was illuminated by his wide knowledge of the fruits of wetland research in many parts of the world. The paper presents the case for wetland archaeology, to show how it has expanded our knowledge of the past and has made prehistory more colourful and dynamic to both archaeologists and the public. In seeking the patterns of behaviour that existed in the past, six key elements contribute to our studies: environment and change; economy and subsistence; stratification and context; structures and activities; chronology and precision; and range of material culture. The evidence for all of these aspects is well-preserved in many wetland environments, and a number of key sites are identified and assessed for their contribution to prehistoric studies.

Résumé

Cette étude a constitué la conférence Europa de l'année 2000 L'intérêt de Sir Graham Clark pour l'archéologie des marécages ne se restreignait pas à ses travaux d'avant-garde à Star Carr et une grande partie de ses écrits était éclairée par sa vaste connaissance des fruits de la recherche sur les marécages dans de nombreuses régions du monde. Cette étude présente le parti de l'archéologie des zones marécageuses pour montrer comment elle a fait progresser notre connaissance du passé et a rendu la préhistoire plus colorée et plus vivante aussi bien pour les archéologues que pour le public. Dans notre tentative d'identifier des types de conduite qui existaient dans le passé, six éléments clés contribuent à nos études: environnement et changement, économie et subsistance, stratification et contexte, structures et activités, chronologie et précision, et étendue de la culture matérielle. Les témoignages concernant tous ces aspects sont bien préservés dans de nombreux environnements marécageux, et on a identifié un nombre de sites clés et évalué leur contribution aux études préhistoriques.

Zusammenfassung

Sir Grahame Clarks Interesse an der Feuchtboden-archäologie beschränkte sich nicht nur auf seine bahnbrechende Arbeit in Star Carr, sondern große Teile seines Schrifttums sind von seinen weitreichenden Kenntnissen der Feuchtbodenforschung in vielen Teilen der Welt geprägt. Der Artikel benutzt das Beispiel der Feuchtbodenarchäologie, um zu zeigen, wie sie unsere Kenntnisse zur Vergangenheit erweitert, und die Vorgeschichte sowohl für die Archäologen als auch für die Öffentlichkeit bunter und dynamischer gemacht hat. Bei der Erkundung der Verhaltensmuster der Vergangenheit, fließen die folgenden sechs Kernelemente in unsere Studien ein: Umwelt und Wechsel; Wirtschaft und Ernährung; Stratifikation und Kontext; Strukturen und Aktivitäten; Chronologie und Präzision; und die ganze Bandbreite der materiellen Kultur. Belege für alle diese Aspekte sind in vielen Feuchtbodenarealen sehr gut erhalten. So werden im Artikel auch eine Reihe von Kernfundstellen bestimmt und ihr Beitrag für die prähistorische Forschung beschrieben.

Resúmen

El interés de Sir Grahame Clark por la arqueología de territorios húmedos no se limitó a sus pioneras investigaciones en el yacimiento de Star Carr; mucho de lo que escribió estuvo iluminado por sus amplios conocimientos de los frutos de la investigación en territorios húmedos en muchas partes del globo. Este trabajo examina la arqueología de territorios húmedos para señalar como nos ha ayudado a conocer el pasado y como ha aportado un toque de colorido y dinamismo a la prehistoria tanto para los arqueólogos como para el publico en general. En nuestra búsqueda de tipos de comportamiento existentes en el pasado existen seis elementos claves que contribuyen a nuestros estudios: medio ambiente y cambio medioambiental; economía y subsistencia; estratigrafia y contexto; estructuras y actividades; cronologia y precision; y tipos de cultura material. La evidencia acerca de estos diversos aspectos esta bien conservada en muchos territorios húmedos, y este trabajo identifica una serie de yacimientos claves y establece su contribución a los estudios sobre la prehistoria.
