‎Summary Over more than a thousand years since pre-Christian religions were actively practised, European - and later contemporary - society has developed a fascination with the beliefs of northern Europe before the arrival of Christianity, which have been the subject of a huge range of popular and scholarly theories, interpretations, and uses. Indeed, the pre-Christian religions of the North have exerted a phenomenal influence on modern culture, appearing in everything from the names of days of the week to Hollywood blockbusters. Scholarly treatments have been hardly less varied. Theories - from the Middles Ages until today - have depicted these pre-Christian religious systems as dangerous illusions, the works of Satan, representatives of a lost proto-Indo-European religious culture, a form of 'natural' religion, and even as a system non-indigenous in origin, derived from cultures outside Europe. The Research and Reception strand of the Pre-Christian Religions of the North project establishes a definitive survey of the current and historical uses and interpretations of pre-Christian mythology and religious material, tracing the many ways in which people both within and outside Scandinavia have understood and been influenced by these religions, from the Christian Middle Ages to contemporary media of all kinds. The previous volume (I) traced the reception down to the early nineteenth century, while the present volume (II) takes up the story from c. 1830 down to the present day and the burgeoning of interest across a diversity of new as well as old media.

‎Klimonas: An Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic Village in Cyprus / Un village néolithique pré-céramique ancien à Chypre.‎

‎<meta charset="utf-8"><p data-mce-fragment="1">Klimonas is the oldest Mediterranean island village. Occupied ca. 8 800 cal BC, it postpones by several centuries the Neolithic presence in Cyprus, at that time located more than 80 km offshore.<br data-mce-fragment="1">The village extended over more than 5,500 mÇ, facing the sea, 2 km from the famous pre-pottery site of Shillourokambos and near rich flint outcrops. Excavations (2009-2016) revealed that it was composed of circular or oval earthen buildings 3-6 m in diameter, notched into the slope, modestly fitted out and organised around a semi-buried 10 m communal building.<br data-mce-fragment="1">The construction techniques, the abundance of either knapped or polished stone material, together with ornaments,<br data-mce-fragment="1">symbolic objects, and plants and animal remains, as well as the 52 radiometric dates, point to the end of the Levantine<br data-mce-fragment="1">Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA). The presence of a communal building, rebuilt numerous times over the course of<br data-mce-fragment="1">several decades, also points to the same conclusion.<br data-mce-fragment="1">The villagers gathered seeds and fruits and cultivated wild starch and einkorn, recently imported from the continent.<br data-mce-fragment="1">They primarily hunted small endemic wild boar, the only large mammal species attested on the island at that time and, secondarily, birds. They did not eat fish or marine shellfish. Domestic dogs, mice and cats brought from the continent also lived in the village.<br data-mce-fragment="1">The remains of this cultivator-hunter community testify to the early extension of the Near Eastern Neolithic and to unsuspected seafaring skills, substantially improving our knowledge of the Neolithic transition in the Mediterranean.</p><p data-mce-fragment="1">Klimonas est le plus ancien village insulaire de Méditerranée. Occupé autour de 8 800 av. n.è., il recule de plusieurs siècles le début de la présence néolithique à Chypre, à cette époque déjà située à plus de 80 km du continent.<br data-mce-fragment="1">Le village s’étendait sur 5 500 mÇ au moins, face à la mer, à 2 km du célèbre site pré-céramique de Shillourokambos et au contact de riches sources de silex. Les fouilles (2009-2016) ont montré qu’il était composé d’édifices de terre crue (bauge) de 3 à 6 m de diamètre, circulaires ou ovalaires, encochés dans la pente, modestement aménagés, organisés autour d’un bâtiment communautaire semi-enterré de 10 m de diamètre.<br data-mce-fragment="1">Les techniques de construction, l’abondant mobilier de pierre taillée, le macro-outillage, les parures et objets symboliques, les restes de plantes et les ossements animaux, tout comme les 52 datations radiométriques renvoient à la fin du Néolithique pré-céramique A levantin (PPNA). La présence d’un bâtiment communautaire, plusieurs fois reconstruit en quelques décennies, le confirme.<br data-mce-fragment="1">Les villageois pratiquaient la cueillette et cultivaient l’amidonnier et l’engrain sauvages, récemment importés du continent. Ils chassaient un petit sanglier endémique, seule espèce de grand mammifère attestée sur l’île à cette époque, et, secondairement, des oiseaux. Poissons et coquillages marins n’étaient pas consommés. Des chiens domestiques, des souris et des chats de souche continentale vivaient dans le village.<br data-mce-fragment="1">Les vestiges de cette communauté d’agriculteurs-chasseurs témoignent de l’extension précoce du premier Néolithique du Proche-Orient et d’une maîtrise insoupçonnée de la navigation. Il enrichit de manière substantielle nos connaissances sur la transition néolithique en Méditerranée.</p> Paris, 2023 CNRS 630 p., illustré, cartonnage éditeur. 22,5 x 29‎
