Roots of Routes
Mobility and Networks between the Past and the Future
2023 || Paperback || Henny Piezonka e.a. || Sidestone Press
People and spaces have always been connected by routes: paths, trails, roads – on land, on water and sometimes even through the air, over hill and dale as well as over wooden planks, pavement and asphalt. Humans and animals followed them. The routes directed the circulation of raw materials and goods. They determined the paths on which humans fled from misery and danger, and they constituted the physical and imagined veins of networks between communities. All these cultural and biological c...

Contemporary Philosophy for Maritime Archaeology
Flat Ontologies, Oceanic Thought, and the Anthropocene
2023 || Paperback || Sara Rich e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
While terrestrial archaeology has engaged with contemporary philosophy, maritime archaeology has remained in comparative disciplinary – or subdisciplinary – isolation. However, the issues that humans face in the Anthropocene – from global warming to global pandemics – call for transdisciplinary cooperation, and for thinking together beyond the confines of the human-centered philosophical tradition. Growing areas such as the “blue humanities” and “oceanic thinking” draw directl...

(on)aangenaam verleden
waarom het verleden ertoe doet en archeologie geschiedenis moet schrijven
2023 || Paperback || David Fontijn || Sidestone Press
Met het huidige archeologisch bestel, de impact van de ‘third science’- revolutie en de toenemende aandacht voor erfgoed lijkt de Nederlandse archeologie sterker in de samenleving verankerd dan ooit. Maar wie zit er eigenlijk te wachten op het verleden dat archeologen menen te schrijven, en waarom eindigen de verhalen van archeologie vaak in de rafelranden van de canonieke geschiedenis?
Bij archeologie past geen kruideniersmentaliteit: ze is één van de meest krachtige manieren om geschi...

Mensch – Körper – Tod
Der Umgang mit menschlichen Überresten im Neolithikum Mitteleuropas
2023 || Paperback || Nadia Balkowski e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
Das europäische Neolithikum zeichnet sich durch eine Vielzahl von Umgangsweisen mit menschlichen Körpern von Toten aus. Der archäologische Diskurs zu Mensch, Körper und Tod stützte sich für das Neolithikum traditionell jedoch auf Körperbestattungen. Dies ist unter anderem auf die in der westlichen Welt vorherrschende Idealvorstellung von Totenruhe und der Deponierung eines Körpers an einem, oft separat dafür vorgesehenen Ort zurückzuführen.
In der letzten Zeit gerieten jedoch Depon...

Landscapes and materialities of race, class, and gender in pre-emancipation Saba, Dutch Caribbean
2023 || Paperback || Ryan Espersen || Sidestone Press Academics
This study aims to understand the materiality of Saba’s ideological landscape during its pre-emancipation colonial period. This is accomplished by understanding the dialectics, or inseparable relationships, between Saba’s geography, locally-situated ideologies of class, race, and gender in Saba’s social environment, and the processes behind these ideological relations that contributed to the material things that are found across Saba’s social landscape.
This provides insights into ar...
Epistemology, Economics, and Ethics
A Practical Philosophy of Prehistoric Archaeology
2023 || Paperback || 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 ...

Modern Etruscans
Close Encounters with a Distant Past
2023 || Paperback || Chiara Zampieri e.a. || Leuven University Press
“L’Étrurie est à la mode”, French archaeologist Salomon Reinach bluntly stated in 1927.

This volume deals with the impact of the constantly expanding knowledge on the Etruscans and their mysterious...

Coming to Terms with the Future
Concepts of Resilience for the Study of Early Iranian Societies
2023 || Paperback || Reinhard Bernbeck e.a. || Sidestone Press
The collection of essays in this book focuses on the highlands of Iran in pre-modern times, reaching from the Paleolithic to the medieval period. What holds the diverse contributions together is an issue that is closely related to debates in our own times: crises and how societies in the past dealt with them. We start from the premise that general circumstances in the fractured topographic structure of the Iranian highlands led to unique relations between ecological, social, economic and poli...

Separation, hybridisation, and networks
Globular Amphora sedentary pastoralists ca. 3200-2700 BCE
2023 || Paperback || 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 ...
