Megalithic monuments and social structures
comparative studies on recent and Funnel Beaker societies

Fieldwork in Sumba and Nagaland set up a frame to answer questions such as: Who is buried in the megalithic tombs and what kind of commemoration is connected to megalithic monuments? How are socioeconomic characteristics of the associated...

Tripolye Typo-chronology
Mega and Smaller Sites in the Sinyukha River Basin
Paperback || Liudmyla Shatilo || Sidestone Press Dissertations

Keramik jenseits von 'Kulturen'
Mobilität, Verflechtungen und Transformationen im nördlichen Alpenvorland (3950–3800 v.Chr.)
2022 || Paperback || Caroline Heitz || Sidestone Press Dissertations
Mobilität ist für Formen des sozialen Zusammenlebens grundlegend. Doch welche Rolle spielte räumliche Mobilität in der Vergangenheit? Aus prähistorischen Zeitabschnitten wie etwa dem Neolithikum ist dazu noch immer wenig bekannt. Das gilt auch für die Siedlungsräume des nördlichen Alpenvorlandes. Deren Feuchtbodensiedlungen mit den hervorragend erhaltenen Resten in Seen und Mooren gehören seit 2011 zum UNESCO Welterbe und bieten eine einzigartige Forschungsgrundlage. Die dendrochron...

After the deluge
Paperback || Wilko van Zijverden || Sidestone Press Dissertations
After World War II huge land consolidation projects measuring thousands of hectares were carried out in West-Frisia. Large scale excavations of Bronze Age settlement sites were carried out resulting in a convincing model for the Bronze Age habitation of West-Frisia. This model envisaged settlement sites situated on creek ridges in an open almost treeless landscape. After a sudden change in climate c. 800 cal BC parts of the landscape were inundated, peat bogs developed and West-Frisia was aba...

Modeling routes to connect communities across the caribbean sea
Paperback || Emma Slayton || Sidestone Press Dissertations
There is little evidence of the routes connecting Amerindian communities in the Caribbean prior to and just after 1492. Uncovering possible canoe routes between these communities can help to explain the structure, capabilities, and limitations of the physical links in their social and material networks. This book evaluates how routes connecting islands indicate the structure of past inter-island networks, by using computer modeling.
Computer modeling and least-cost pathway analysis is a popula...

The Social Museum in the Caribbean
Paperback || Csilla Ariese-Vandemeulebroucke || Sidestone Press Dissertations
A mosaic is the only image which can do justice to museums in the Caribbean.

These profoundly social museums adopt participatory practices and embark on community engagement processes in order to embed themselves firmly in contemporary Caribbean societies.This dissertation presents a mosaic of 195 Caribbean museums and the results of a unique research project...

A completely normal practice
The emergence of selective metalwork deposition in Denmark, north-west Germany, and the Netherlands between 2350-1500 BC
Paperback || Marieke Visser || Sidestone Press Dissertations
In Bronze Age Europe, an enormous amount of metalwork was buried in the ground and never retrieved. Patterns in the archaeological finds show that this was a deliberate practice: people systematically deposited valuable metal objects in specific places in the landscape, even in non-metalliferous regions. Although this practice seems strange and puzzling from our modern perspective, these patterns demonstrate that it was not simply a matter of irrational human behaviour. Instead, there were su...

The role of grave sets in Corded Ware and Bell Beaker funerary practices
Paperback || Karsten Wentink || Sidestone Press Dissertations
Throughout northern Europe, thousands of burial mounds were erected in the third millennium BCE. Starting in the Corded Ware culture, individual people were being buried underneath these mounds, often equipped with an almost rigid set of grave goods. 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’.
