Ritual failure
archaeological perspectives
2017 || Hardcover || Vasiliki Koutrafouri e.a. || Sidestone Press
'Ritual Failure' is a new concept in archaeology adopted from the discipline of anthropology. Resilient religious systems disappearing, strict believers and faithful practitioners not performing their rites, entire societies changing their customs: how does a religious ritual system transform, change or disappear, leaving only traces of its past glory? Do societies change and then their ritual? Or do customs change first, in turn provoking wider cultural shifts in society? Archaeology possess...

Palma Engraved Gems
from antiquity to the present
2017 || Hardcover || Ben Van den Bercken e.a. || Sidestone Press
Many are no larger than a fingertip. They are engraved with symbols, magic spells and images of gods, animals and emperors. These stones were used for various purposes. The earliest ones served as seals for making impressions in soft materials. Later engraved gems were worn or carried as personal ornaments - usually rings, but sometimes talismans or amulets. The exquisite engraved designs were thought to imbue the gems with special powers. For example, the gods and rituals depicted on cylinde...

The essays cover topics such as animal husbandry, mummification, species-specific studies, the archaeology and economy of the animal cult...

Cultures of Stone
An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Materiality of Stone
2020 || Hardcover || Gabriel Cooney e.a. || Sidestone Press
This volume establishes a rich cross-disciplinary dialogue about the significance of stone in society across time and space. The material properties of stone have ensured its continuing importance; however, it is its materiality which has mediated the relations between the individual, society and stone.
Bound up with the physical properties of stone are ideas on identity, value, and understanding. Stone can act as a medium through which these concepts are expressed and is tied to ideas such a...

Barrows at the Core of Bronze Age Communities
Supplementary Material
2021 || Hardcover || Stuart Needham e.a. || Sidestone Press
Barrows at the Core of Bronze Age Communities argues exactly that. Round barrows do not just represent the death side of Early Bronze Age communities placed in set-a-side ritual landscapes, but were instead central to existence in many ways. This study of the Rother Region, where the Weald meets the Wessex massif, reports the results of the People of the Heath project, 2014–18. It integrates a wealth of data from comprehensive field study of all relevant sites in the region with that from e...

Making a Neolithic non-megalithic monument
A TRB burial ground at Dalfsen (the Netherlands), c. 3000-2750 cal. BC
2022 || Hardcover || Henk van der Velde e.a. || Sidestone Press
In 2015 at Dalfsen (the Netherlands) archaeologists made an amazing discovery. They found a burial ground dating from the TRB-period (3000-2750 BC) comprising 141 burial pits. The TRB is dated in the last phase of the Middle Neolithic period and is well known for its megalithic monuments which are widespread through large parts of northern Europe.
Until recently few non-megalithic burial grounds were known and the find of the Dalfsen burials created new opportunities to study the mortuary rit...

Change and continuity at the Roman coastal fort at Oudenburg from the late 2nd until the early 5th century AD
Volume III: Plates
2022 || Hardcover || Sofie Vanhoutte || Sidestone Press
In the later Roman period the North Sea and Channel region was the scene of seaborne attacks, political crises, army reforms, Germanic invasions and changing imperial defence strategies. Literary evidence for this era is poor. On the other hand the Shore forts can yield highly significant information, but have been subject to little study in recent decades. At the Belgian coastal fort at Oudenburg large-scale excavations in the first decade of the 21st century revealed a strikingly well-prese...

City Gates in the Roman West
Forms and functions
2022 || Hardcover || Cornelis van Tilburg || Sidestone Press
This book discusses various aspects of city gates in the Western Roman Empire: Italy, Spain, Gaul, Germany and Britain. In these countries many Roman city gates are to be found, sometimes still in a good condition, like the Porta Nigra in Trier and the Porta Appia in Rome.
Similarly to medieval or early-modern city gates, Roman city gates did not all have the same design but show an evolution over time and depending on the circumstances: sometimes they appear as simple, narrow passages (which...
