The Social Museum in the Caribbean

Grassroots Heritage Initiatives and Community Engagement

2018 || Hardcover || Csilla Ariese-Vandemeulebroucke || Sidestone Press Dissertations

Detecting and explaining technological innovation in prehistory

2020 || Hardcover || Michela Spataro e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

Innovation consists of any change in technology which has tangible and lasting effect on human practices, whether or not it provides utilitarian advantages. Prehistoric societies were never static, but the tempo of innovation occasionally increased to the point that we can refer to transformation taking place. Prehistorians must therefore identify factors promoting or hindering innov...

The role of grave sets in Corded Ware and Bell Beaker funerary practices

2020 || Hardcover || Karsten Wentink || Sidestone Press Dissertations

This practice continued in the second half of the third millennium BCE with the start of the Bell Beaker phenomenon. In large parts of Europe, a ‘typical’ set of objects was placed in graves, known as the ‘Bell Beaker package’.

A Social Archaeology of Kinship in Iberia and Beyond

Recent Multistranded Approaches from aDNA to Household Archaeology

2025 || Hardcover || Antonio Blanco-González e.a. || Sidestone Press

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...
