They secretly documented life in Amsterdam during the last year of the war: the group of photographers who came to be known as The Underground Camera. Guided by German – Jewish filmmaker Fritz Kahlenberg and resistance leader Tonny van Renterghem, they captured images of both the Nazi occupiers and the Dutch resistance groups.

The Scheepvaarthuis (the ‘Shipping House’), on Prins Hendrikkade in Amsterdam, diagonally opposite the central railway station, is one of the city’s iconic buildings. There were several phases of construction, starting in 1913. The architect Joan Melchior van der Meij (1878–1949) was commissioned to design the building, in part thanks to his research into brickwork construction during his Prix de Rome travels (1907–1910). He gave it an entirely unique style and appearance, with the ...

The study of kinship from archaeology has been fluctuating. At the end of the 20th century archaeologists were reluctant or skeptical about its relevance and viability. However, in recent decades it has gained prominence and today it is experiencing a sweet moment, although not without problems. Its recent impulse has been due to the methodological development of bioscience techniques (aDNA and isotope studies) and to the profound revision and updating of other inference strategies from house...

The modern discipline of archaeology developed in tandem with the expansion of European imperialism in the 19th and 20th centuries. Cyprus, ruled by Britain between 1878 and 1960, is a fascinating example of how archaeology was practiced and developed in a specific colonial context. This volume explores the mechanisms, the institutions and the characters who contributed to the development of Cypriot archaeology, often within a fraught political environment.
