Накратко на български

Социалният контрол в Европа между 1600 и 200 г. пр.н.е. се анализира чрез съдбите на маргинализирани хора, като например жертви на принудителен труд и глад. Археологията помага да се разбере как обществото реагира на кризи и как възникват насилието и изключването.

Government of Life and Death: The Rise of Coercive Power in European Late Prehistory

CoPOWER investigates the transition to urban society and the rise of social control in selected regions of Europe c 1600-200 BC. Many research projects investigated urbanization in the study area by focusing on the elite groups that are supposed to have led this process. By contrast, CoPOWER explores the life histories of the marginal individuals that are often the forgotten victims of history. Such people may include individuals that were socially excluded for their low status, gender, disease or disability; children dying of starvation; people subject to forced labour and undernourishment; and the victims of extreme violence and ritual abuse. Marginality, disability and gender-based exclusion remain modern problems. They are exacerbated by the evolving socio-economic landscape of our time, which is characterized by the rise of austerity, economic crisis, global warming, massive migration and the spraed of far-right activism in the West. Archaeology can provide science-based information on human response to social change and environmental stress, and its variability through time. Such evidence is key to inform debate on how violence and marginalization may arise in such moments of crisis and transformation. Objectives of CoPOWER are: 1: shed new light on the transition to urban society in late prehistoric Europe. This has been achieved by focusing on the consequences of power centralization and social change on the marginal individuals that are often the forgotten victims of human history 2: collate bioarchaeological and archaeological data from the study area to shed light on the potential spread of disease, malnutrition, work-related trauma and violence, and their potential connection to social change, environmental stress and social instability 3: develop an analytical framework for identifying bioarchaeological correlates of social change and marginalizatiom in the mortuary record of any given society, with a focus on their effects on socially excluded individuals. 4: promote marginality studies in archaeology

Цел на проекта

CoPOWER will adopt state-of-the-art archaeological and bioarchaeological approaches to investigate the transition to urban society and the rise of increasingly sophisticated social control mechanisms in Europe 1200-500 BC. The rich burial record of Austria and northeast Italy is used as a case study. Many research projects have investigated social complexity and urbanization in the study area by focusing on the elite groups that supposedly spearheaded these processes; by contrast, CoPOWER will explore the life-histories of the marginal individuals that are often the forgotten victims of history. In doing so, it will (a) contribute to develop an analytical framework for identifying and assessing potential bioarchaeological correlates of social change and disruption in the mortuary record of any given society and (b) promote marginality studies in archaeology. These aims will be achieved by building upon the ER's previous expertise in archaeological theory, in conjunction with the new skills in human osteology, isotope and DNA analysis she will acquire over the MSCA. Through high-quality training at OREA and the Natural History Museum in Vienna, the ER will not only learn about human skeletal biology and various analytical and laboratory procedures, but also how to interpret the data resulting from these methods within a broad, comparative anthropological framework for bioarchaeological problem-solving. Collaboration on OREA’s ECR-funded project The Value of Mothers to Society will also provide crucial training in project management and added-value knowledge on the gender dimension of inequality in Europe’s late prehistory. The contributions of CoPOWER to understand the processes leading to social change and marginality under socio-environmental stress are extremely timely in today’s worldwide order; its results 'will therefore fulfil the Horizon 2020 Programme’s aims to promote EU excellence through top research across Europe and through a knowledge-based society.
