Bark Painting in the Washkuk Hills of North New Guinea

2025 || Paperback || Ross Bowden || Sidestone Press

The art of painting on bark was once widely found in many parts of the Pacific, including the Sepik River region of Papua New Guinea, the home of the Kwoma people who are the subject of this study. The styles of the paintings and the subjects of designs were as varied as the hundreds of languages spoken in this region.

Following European contact at the end of the nineteenth century, and the social change this brought, many New Guinea peoples discontinued producing their vibrant designs on ba...

Heligoland Flint in Prehistoric Europe

Characteristics, Typology, Distribution, Symbolism and Provenance

2025 || Paperback || Jaap Beuker e.a. || Sidestone Press

During a considerable part of prehistory stone tools were indispensable. Flint in particular had properties that made it very suitable for making razor-sharp implements and could often, but not always, be collected locally. Hunters, gatherers and fishers mostly used small tools but with the transition to an agricultural way of living this situation changed, as larger implements became necessary, to cut down trees and work wood for instance.

The raw material suitable for this was often not av...

Bones at a crossroads

Integrating Worked Bone Research with Archaeometry and Social Zooarchaeology

2021 || Paperback || Markus Wild e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

The papers in this volume follow this direction by adopting various forms of dialogue and integration between old and new methods and approaches, including technological analysis, usewear analysis, typology, zooa...

Millet and What Else?

The Wider Context of the Adoption of Millet Cultivation in Europe

2022 || Paperback || Wiebke Kirleis e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

Broomcorn/common/proso millet (Panicum miliaceum) is a cereal crop that originated in East Asia and was transferred westward to Europe, where it was introduced in the mid-2nd millennium BCE, at the height of the Bronze Age. Archaeobotanists from the Collaborative Research Centre 1266, supported by many colleagues, conducted a large-scale programme of radiocarbon dating of millet grains from prehistoric Europe. They discovered that the spread of this crop on the continent happened quickly, ext...

Settling Waterscapes in Europe

The Archaeology of Neolithic & Bronze Age Pile-Dwellings

2022 || Paperback || Albert Hafner e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

Pile dwellings have been explored over a vast region for a number of decades now. This has led to the development of different ways, methods, and even schools of under-water and peat-bog excavation practices and data analysis techniques under the influence of different research traditions in individual countries. On the one hand, these and other factors can limit our understanding of the past, whilst on the other hand they can also open up further avenues of interpretation.

By collecting the ...

Separation, hybridisation, and networks

Globular Amphora sedentary pastoralists ca. 3200-2700 BCE

2023 || Hardcover || Johannes Müller || Sidestone Press Academics

Around 3000 BCE, a turning point occurred in Europe: Long-existing regional societies entered into a process of transformation. The result is a world in which new global communication networks brought different regions closer together. From 3200/3100 BCE, the Globular Amphora phenomenon (GA) was the trailblazer in Eastern and Central Europe. Due to a focus on pastoral subsistence, in comparison to more agrarian economic systems, new ritual practices formed in light of a more flexible form of ...

Containers of Change

Ancient Container Technologies from Eastern to Western Asia

2023 || Paperback || Olivier Nieuwenhuyse e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

Across Western Asia, the astonishing increase in the availability of durable ceramic containers in the seventh millennium BCE had significant societal repercussions – so much so that vital social, economic, and symbolic activities became dependent upon the availability of pottery containers. These early ceramic containers, however, established themselves alongside flourishing pre-existing container traditions, with vessels made in a wide range of materials including clay, bitumen, basketry,...

Epistemology, Economics, and Ethics

A Practical Philosophy of Prehistoric Archaeology

2023 || Hardcover || Konrad Ott || Sidestone Press Academics

This book is intended to be a groundwork of how to theorise prehistory and archaeology and how to make connectivities between the past and the present. It is divided into four parts. The first part is epistemological. It explains why there must be theoretical investments if past ways of human life are to be understood and explained. This insight is specified to a ladder-model (sensu Hawkes) with conceptual scaffoldings on each step. Stepwise, sets of concepts are introduced. This constitutes ...
