Abstract

Several regions in Britain saw the construction of large, linear earthworks of banks and ditches during the later Bronze Age and in the Iron Age, often extending for many kilometres. In the light of recent theoretical discussions of materiality and relational agency within archaeology and other social sciences, and through an avowedly discursive poetics of place, examples of these earthworks are re-assessed as actants, capable of affecting and directing the lives of people, animals, and plants. These linear earthworks were not static monuments, but were active assemblages or meshworks of materiality, movement, and memory.

De grands ouvrages de terre linéaires furent construits dans plusieurs régions de Grande-Bretagne vers la fin de l’âge du Bronze et pendant l’âge du Fer; il ‘s'agit de talus et de fossés atteignant souvent une longueur de plusieurs kilomètres. En prenant les débats théoriques récents sur la matérialité et l'agentivité relationnelle en archéologie et dans les sciences sociales comme point de départ, et en suivant une approche délibérément axée sur la poésie des lieux, cet article réexamine ces levées de terre en tant qu'acteurs capables d'influencer et d'orienter la vie des gens, des animaux et des plantes. Les ouvrages de terre n’étaient pas des monuments statiques; au contraire ils avaient le potentiel d'agir comme un ensemble actif, ou trame de matérialité, de mouvement et de mémoire. Translation by Madeleine Hummler.

Große, geradlinige Erdwerke, d.h. Wälle und Gräben die sich auf mehreren Kilometern erstreckten, wurden in der späten Bronzezeit und Eisenzeit in mehreren Gegenden von Großbritannien gebaut. In Zusammenhang mit der Anwendung von neueren Theorien über Materialität und relationale Handlungsfähigkeit in der Archäologie und den Sozialwissenschaften, und durch eine absichtlich diskursive Einstellung gegenüber die Poetik von Landschaften, werden hier Erdwerke als aktive Teilnehmer, die das Leben von Menschen, Tieren und Pflanzen beeinflussen können, neu betrachtet. Die Erdwerke waren nicht passive Denkmäler, sondern aktive Komplexe oder Netzwerke, in welchen Materialität, Bewegung und Erinnerung tätig waren. Translation by Madeleine Hummler.
