Abstract

Thousands of archaeological fieldwork projects must have stories about the interactions between their host village and the Project, although such accounts rarely make it to publication. The Anglo-Ukrainian Trypillia Megasites Project differs from many others in that we developed a closer relationship than usual with the villagers of Nebelivka, Ukraine, largely because of an experimental house-building and -burning operation that involved a number of villagers, from young reed- and hazel withy-collectors to the village Mayor. In this article, we weave together the different threads of actions, decisions, agendas and attitudes of the different stakeholders (team, villagers, politicians, journalists, other villagers, conference delegates etc.) in respect of the Project's experimental programme, focussing on the day of the house-burning, with its spectacular multi-sensory results. In conclusion, we reflect upon the application of the question 'what is a good death?' to a prehistoric house, taking into consideration the varied views of the participants on this question.

“好死”：乌克兰基洛沃格勒州内贝利夫卡村一座新石器时代实验性房屋的生活和时代及其接待

成千上万的考古实地调查项目必须有关于其所在村庄和项目之间互动的故事，尽管这些报道很少发表。英国-乌克兰Trypilla Megasites项目与其他许多项目的不同之处在于，我们与乌克兰内贝利夫卡的村民建立了比平时更密切的关系，这主要是因为一项实验性的房屋建造和焚烧行动，涉及许多村民，从年轻的芦苇和榛子采集者到村长。在这篇文章中，我们将不同利益相关者（团队、村民、政治家、记者、其他村民、会议代表等）在项目实验计划方面的不同行动、决策、议程和态度交织在一起，重点关注房屋燃烧当天，并取得了惊人的多感官结果。最后，我们反思了“什么是好的死亡？”这个问题的应用考虑到参与者对这个问题的不同看法，我们来到了一座史前的房子。

期刊介绍： AP: Online Journal in Public Archaeology is an international, peer reviewed, open access journal devoted exclusively to Public Archaeology. Edited by JAS Arqueología, it is freely distributed online in order to enable easy access to research and debates, and to spread the growing realm that is starting to settle into everyday archaeological practice. The aim of this journal is to explore the multiple relations between Archaeology and Society. Archaeology is generally understood as the study of past societies from their remains, and Public Archaeology is the study of the relations between Archaeology and Society in every aspect of daily life (social, economic and political). We are talking about the present of Archaeology and the different issues that surround and affect it. Below is a list of key topics covered: -The economic and political impact of Archaeology. -Archaeology as Popular Culture. -The history and development of Archaeology as a professional activity. -Theoretical issues around the publicity of Archaeology. -The image of Archaeology. -Legal issues affecting archaeological practice and the illicit trade of antiquities. -The presentation of Archaeology to the public. Of course, this is not an exhaustive list of topics, which is why the criteria for the preliminary selection of papers are subject to the topic. This journal has been created with the desire to become a reference in the field of Public Archaeology. Therefore, we encourage all of you working within the realm of Public Archaeology to share your thoughts, experiences and ideas in this open medium for the development of Public Archaeology.
