From a present-day perspective, these rich images provide invaluable insights into past realities as well as interconnections between different visual systems. However...

Hardcover || Maarten Raven || Sidestone Press
Jan Herman Insinger was a well-known character in the history of Egyptology, mainly because his name has been linked forever with a famous demotic wisdom papyrus now in Leiden. Although he is mentioned by many of his contemporaries, biographical notes on Insinger rarely surpass a few lines and can be quite inaccurate. However, a lot of information can be gathered from the Archives of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden and other sources, both published and unpublished ones. These doc...

Hardcover || Wouter Roessingh || Sidestone Press
Het oostelijk deel van West-Friesland was in de midden- en late bronstijd (ca. 1600-800 v. Chr.) een dicht bevolkt gebied met vele boerendorpjes.

Vanaf de jaren 60 van de vorige eeuw zijn omvangrijke delen van het cultuurlandschap uit de bronstijd opgegraven, maar nooit gepubliceerd. In deze studie zijn oude opgravingsgegevens uitgewerkt e...

2021 || Hardcover || Richard Jansen e.a. || Sidestone Press
Zo'n 3000 tot 3500 jaar geleden werden, in een gebied dat we nu kennen als de Slabroekse Heide (Uden, N.-Br.), een aantal grafheuvels opgericht door de toenmalige bewoners. Gedurende de daaropvolgende eeuwen werden hier regelmatig mensen begraven. Tussen circa 800 en 500 v. Chr. ontstond een zogenaamd urnenveld wat uiteindelijk meer dan honderd kleine heuvels op de heide omvatte, grafmonumenten waaronder de crematieresten van overleden veelal in aardewerken urnen waren begraven.Uit deze perio...
