Another important finding is that the absence of a fiscal stimulus explains around 7% of the slowdown. Policy choices and dilemmas are clear from these numbers. The net effect of domestic boosters may end up being a small positive, or not even that, depending on the impact of the global drag.","PeriodicalId":263824,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Archaeology & Anthropology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130256424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is to have a compulsive, repetitive, and nostalgic desire for the archive, an irrepressible desire to return to the origin, a homesickness, a nostalgia for the return to the most archaic place of absolute commencement’ [4]. This paper, a thought piece, is a quest for, and critical reconfiguration of, the ‘archive’. Our journey begins in the footsteps of Derrida and his own ‘search for the archive’ and subsequently opens-up into an odyssey across time and space that takes us from the domiciles of the ‘archons’ of ancient Greece, and, via the paradigmatic legendary archive – the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and its ‘myth of return and redemption’-, to critically engage with the contemporary strain of ‘Palestine archive fever’ authored by the ‘besieged subject’. Our itinerary is to critically return to these salient formative archival ‘moments’ to uncover insights into the repetitious desires, passions, and fevers that pervade ‘old’ and ‘new’ ‘diagnoses’ of ‘archive fever’ across North and South. Writ wider still, my interest is in exploring what is at stake in these aspirational quests, synonymous with broader ‘heritage fevers’ and ‘origin fevers’-, and in the tensions and conflict that accompany both imaginative and literal acts of possession.","PeriodicalId":263824,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Archaeology & Anthropology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125861108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The list seems to be endless and hopeless. This list, unfortunately, is a reflection of the world in which we live and work nowadays, the world that we study as anthropologists. A world in which proBrexit politicians and Trump’s followers had won votes under the rhetoric of anti-immigration, xenophobia, islamophobia and economic precarity. The consequences of this not only affect the socalled western world, but it is used to decimate indigenous peoples across the world along with their livelihoods and territories.","PeriodicalId":263824,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Archaeology & Anthropology","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130453500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since its discovery, very few certain information has been drawn about its history, provenience and destination. Previous archaeometric studies and the iconography of the vase might suggest a late antique realization, possibly in an Oriental workshop (Antioch). A recent study, performed by the National Research Council of Pisa in collaboration with the Populonia Territory Archaeological Museum, in Piombino, has led to a detailed study of the Amphora, both from a morphological point of view through the photogrammetric reconstruction of a high-resolution 3D model, and from the point of view of the analysis of the constituent material, using a portable X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) instrumentation. In particular, the XRF analysis has led to a reconsideration of the archaeometric measurements done in the last century. After this study, the knowledge of the Baratti Amphora has been significantly improved, opening the way to new provenience studies that could shed new light on its mysteries .","PeriodicalId":263824,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Archaeology & Anthropology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128653058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
