Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book introduces archaeologists to the most important quantitative methods, from the initial description of archaeological data to techniques of multivariate analysis. These are presented in the context of familiar problems in archaeological practice, an approach designed to illustrate their relevance and to overcome the fear of mathematics from which archaeologists often suffer. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Les trois contributions réunies dans cette première livraison des Cahiers de l'IREMAM apportent des éclairages complémentaires au phénomène complexe du café dans le Proche-Orient. La mise en parallèle d'une cérémonie turque du café (Hélène Desmet) et de la cérémonie de thé japonaise (Jane Cobbi), permet de dégager les spécificités d'une consommation ritualisée dans deux contextes différents. Le Caire, pôle de diffusion du café dans toute l'aire méditerranéenne ? Michel Tuchscherer en étudiant les sources autochtones, apporte des éléments inédits pour la connaissance du café dans l'Égypte ottomane. Avec les matériaux et la bibliographie rassemblés par Aladin Goushegir, on dispose pour la première fois d'un dossier historique et ethnologique complet sur le café en Iran. La mise en relation de ces documents voudrait créer la possibilité d'un questionnement nouveau de ce thème. |
