The tangible parts of AOAMs are the archaeological remains and the reconstructions. The intangible and, in some respects the most interesting part of an AOAM, is the story of the people the museum represents. This volume explores the research and visitor agendas of structures and their life cycles as they are experienced by experimental archaeology projects and AOAMs. The papers presented include research undertaken by both academics and craft specialists and demonstrate the value of experiential and experimental research to enhance both the visitor experience and research agendas.  The papers were brought together as part of the OpenArch Project¿s Dialogue with Science Work Package. OpenArch is a five year project with eleven international partners funded with support from the European Commission. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Structures include houses, boats, forges, and other diverse constructions.  The structures are not static entities but change through time going through a life cycle. Key themes are the birth, life and death of structures. To explore these key themes papers in this volume consider the planning phase, the assembling of materials, the construction period and then the maintenance and repair needs and the change of use of structures as they age. For some structures this also includes issues surrounding decay, dilapidation, dismantling and destruction of these experimental structures. Understanding of these biographies not only contribute to our understanding of the archaeological record they also enable a consideration of the intangible aspects of structures whilst enhancing the visitor experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Preface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePenny Cunningham, Linda Hurcombe, and Leena Lehtinen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Introduction: The object biography approach to structures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLinda Hurcombe \u0026amp; Penny Cunningham\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Planning Structures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Hands on Heritage: experimental and experiential archaeology in the Avalon Marshes, Somerset, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Brunning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e ¿U Pagghiarü:  studies of  traditional shepherd¿s huts and their relevance to a Bronze Age hut-rebuilding project in Sicily\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKati Caruso and Claudia Speciale\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Thinking through structures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Plant materials, hides and skins as structural components:  perishable material culture and archaeological invisibility\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLinda Hurcombe and Theresa Emmerich Kamper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Saving it for later: gathering, processing and food storage structures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePenny Cunningham\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Boats as structures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLinda Hurcombe \u0026amp; Brian Cumby\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Experiments on possible Stone Age glue types\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWerner Pfeifer and Marco Claußen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Construction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Experiences of thatching at Kierikki Stone Age Village, Finland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInga Nieminen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A gateway to the Bronze Age: Experimenting with woodworking methods of the Terramara culture in Montale in Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWolfgang Lobisser\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e ¿From Earth I Rose¿ Experimenting stone slab furnaces of the Finnish Early Iron Age\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoni-Pekka Karjalainen and Juuso Vattulainen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Polvus eris et in polvus reverteris: Experimental production of Iberian iron and post-processing approach to the furnace structures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJosé Miguel Gallego Cañamero, Manel Gómez Gutiérrez and Josep Pou I Vallès\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Structures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e ¿Huize Horsterwold¿, the reconstruction of a Neolithic houseplan using Stone Age equipment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnelou van Gijn and Diederik Pomstra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Testing the indoor environment and personal health in an inhabited reconstructed Viking Age house during winter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJannie Marie Christensen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Experiences concerning Stone age building constructions in Finland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEero Muurimäki\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Decline of structures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Blackhand Kiva: biography of a replica ancestral Pueblo subterranean masonry-lined structure, Montezuma County, Colorado, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBruce Bradley\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The day the house sat down: the deterioration and collapse of the Ferrycarrig roundhouses\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTríona Sørensen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9789088903656\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9789088903656","offer_id":39450348683357,"sku":"9789088903656","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/32906aa7-6033-4bb9-9e64-4baed67b2733.jpg?v=1776235290","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-life-cycle-of-structures-in-experimental-archaeology-von-linda-hurcombe-penny-cunningham-hrsg","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
