The interdisciplinary field of archaeometry covers a wide range of subject categories and disciplines in relation to science and humanities. It is a well-established academic field of study and accredited part of higher education. Since its inception, the nomenclature designation of archaeometry signifies the appropriate methodology applied to archaeological materials and questions emerging from this field, regarding monuments, artifacts, and the reconstruction and management of landscape bearing cultural assets. The measurements of tangible culture denote significant information, such as chronology, authenticity, technology, characterization, provenance, discovering buried antiquities, ancient-day life activities, and three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions and modelling; furthermore, proxy data collected from environmental dynamic non-liner perturbations, which link local ecosystems with dwellings, are gathered by academia to study the past. The traditional rooting signifies the cultural legacies of people, which define the human desire and the confidence of memory and future trends. Beyond the mere study of the past, archaeometry’s role increasingly proves affinity to prosperity, if properly managed. The major archaeometrical contributions in cultural heritage and archaeology in general are reviewed herein, and we present the policies that could develop archaeometrical data into a sustainable stage of local, regional, and national economic development. Τhe United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) conventions for the documentation and protection of cultural heritage via new technologies and archaeometry are reviewed and connected to development strategies and sustainable development goals.

“…87 It was testament to the difficulty of framing a position to which all British Protestants could subscribe that Coquerel's presence at the 1869 service was easily its most successful feature.The Union had always sought European partners, wishing as they did to present their humble band as part of a vaster conflict against the 'arrogant pretensions of the priesthood' and 'materialistic atheism'. 88 Although Tayler's death in 1869 interrupted the courtship of such luminaries as the French historian of religions Albert Réville and Daniel Schenkel, a leader of the German Protestantenverein, Coquerel was a useful catch. 89 An ally of Réville and an admirer of Anglo-American Unitarianism, Coquerel was embroiled in a struggle against doctrinal tests in the Reformed Church that looked analogous to the Union's attempt to build a new national church.…”

Unitarians and the contradictions of liberal Protestantism in Victorian Britain: the Free Christian Union, 1867-70

Recent research on secularization in later Victorian Britain has emphasized the proliferation of substitute religions as a compensation for the decline in the Church of England's -and by extension Christianity's -intellectual and ethical authority.This article complicates that picture by drawing attention to a group of predominantly Unitarian liberal Protestants who attempted to moderate the privatization of religious belief and the consequent decay of a theistic consensus by creating a new kind of non-dogmatic church, the Free Christian Union (1867-70), which Protestants and theists of every disposition could join without sacrifice of conscience. This article analyses the Union's history, arguing that its rapid collapse both illustrated the appeal and exposed the contradictions involved in the liberal Protestant attempt to reconcile fidelity to individual conscience with the agreement on theological principles that an effective Christian church required.Inquiring Victorians faced few dilemmas thornier than how to reconcile a deep conviction that religious institutions were vital to maintaining standards of personal and social morality with their conscientious inability to accept the doctrines of existing churches. After mid century, the 'moral revolt' against orthodoxy, coupled with the impact of inductive philosophy and continental biblical criticism, caused an increasing number of young men to avoid or abandon careers in the Church of England rather than subscribe to the thirty-nine articles or the Prayer Book. 1 Those who did 'stop' in the church were continually exhorted by those outside it to scrutinize their motives for doing so. 2 Yet while the perceived sinfulness of endorsing beliefs they no longer shared undoubtedly drove many educated people from attendance at or office in the church, the erosion of its authority raised profound moral anxieties. Only unusually bullish agnostics claimed that personal and social morality would be left unscathed by the decay of Christian churches and the theistic culture they supported. 3 Even convinced

Instability and the theory of semantic forms

This paper analyzes some of the principles according to which it is possible to build an analogy, or even a continuity, between language and perception. Several misleading options are identified, arising from: (i) erroneous models of perception, (ii) the non-taking into account of polysemy as a fundamental property of language, and (iii) the inability to allow the necessary interactions between discourse, and the most interior level of 'linguistic schemes'. Starting from the example of prepositions, we challenge all these difficulties, in order to put forth general semantic principles, applicable to all categories of words and constructions. The key question of the relation between spatial and less-or non spatial uses of words will lead us to come back to the gestaltist and phenomenological theories of perception and action, which still now offer irreplaceable insights. An immediate illustration is given with the semantics of nouns in French. We then sketch a radically dynamical theoretical framework, which gives a fundamental role to the mathematical concepts of instability. On this basis, the construction of semantic forms can be distributed between three layers of meaning, or 'stabilization and development phases', named motifs, profiles, and themes. Taken together, they shape linguistic structure and semantic activity. They apply in exactly the same way in lexical as well as in grammatical semantics. And they are also conceived in the perspective of being integrated more tightly into a global 'textual' semantics. 3.1 Gestalt, Phenomenology, and Language Activity 3.2 An insight into the semantics of nouns 4.
