Contacts, boundaries and innovation in the fifth millennium
Exploring developed Neolithic societies in central Europe and beyond
2019 || Paperback || Ralf Gleser e.a. || Sidestone Press
The fifth millennium is characterized by far-flung contacts and a veritable flood of innovations. While its beginning is still strongly reminiscent of a broadly Linearbandkeramik way of life, at its end we find new, inter-regionally valid forms of symbolism, representation and ritual behaviour, changes in the settlement system, in architecture and in routine life. Yet, these inter-regional tendencies are paired with a profusion of increasingly small-scale archaeological cultures, many of them...

Stonehenge for the Ancestors: Part I
Landscape and Monuments
2020 || Paperback || Mike Parker Pearson e.a. || Sidestone Press

The Stonehenge Riverside Project (2003-2009) aimed to investigate the purpose of this unique prehistoric monument by considering it within its wider archaeological context.

Essays on Animals in Ancient Egypt and Nubia
2019 || Paperback || Stéphanie Porcier e.a. || Sidestone Press

This volume presents well over 30 contributions that explore Human-Animal relationships from the Predynastic to the Roman period.
The essays cover topics such as animal husbandry, mummification, species-specific studies, the archaeology and economy of the animal cult...

Perspectives on lived religion
Practices Transmission Landscape
2019 || Paperback || N. Staring e.a. || Sidestone Press
Religion in the ancient world, and ancient Egyptian religion in particular, is often perceived as static, hierarchically organised, and centred on priests, tombs, and temples. Engagement with archaeological and textual evidence dispels these beguiling if superficial narratives, however. Individuals and groups continuously shaped their environments, and were shaped by them in turn. This volume explores the ways in which this adaptation, negotiation, and reconstruction of religious understandin...
Digging up the Bible?
The Excavations at Tell Deir Alla, Jordan (1960-1967)
2021 || Paperback || Margreet Steiner e.a. || Sidestone Press
This is the account of a remarkable excavation. It started with a modest dig on an unremarkable tell in Jordan. The name of the tell does not occur in the Bible, and no ancient town of any importance was to be expected under the rubble. The excavator Henk Franken had not yet made a name for himself within the archaeological community.
And yet, from 1960 onwards history was being (re)written at Tell Deir Alla. To discover the secrets of the tell, the expedition team defied cold, rain and storm...

Excavations at Monjukli Depe, Turkmenistan, 2010 – 2014
2019 || Paperback || Susan Pollock e.a. || Sidestone Press
Soviet archaeological research in southern Turkmenistan revealed a series of small Late Neolithic and Aeneolithic villages strung along the streams that emerge from the Kopet Dag and water the narrow foothill zone separating the mountains from the Kara Kum desert. A commonly accepted premise of their work was that these communities garnered their technological knowledge if not their populations from regions to the south and west in present-day Iran.
Since 2010 we have reinvestigated one of the...

The tombs of Ptahemwia and Sethnakht at Saqqara
Paperback || Maarten Raven || Sidestone Press
The two tombs dealt with in this book were discovered in 2007 and 2010 by the Leiden Expedition in the New Kingdom necropolis of Saqqara. Both date to the transition period between the reign of the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaten and the return to orthodoxy under his successor Tutankhamun. They are valuable additions to the growing corpus of funerary architecture from the Memphite cemeteries, yet they are quite different.
Ptahemwia was a royal butler, presumably in the Memphite palace. The wall-rel...
