Palma The Coffins of the Priests of Amun
Hardcover || Lara Weiss || Sidestone Press
Ancient Egyptian coffins provided a shell to protect the deceased both magically and physically. They guaranteed an important requirement for eternal life: an intact body. Not everybody could afford richly decorated wooden coffins. As commodities, coffins also played a vital role in the daily life of the living and marked their owner's taste and status. Coffin history is an ongoing process and does not end with the ancient burial. The coffins that were discovered and shipped to museums have b...

Mobility and pottery production
Archaeological and anthropological perspectives
2018 || Hardcover || Caroline Heitz e.a. || Sidestone Press
For many past and present societies, pottery forms an integral part of material culture and everyday practice. This makes it a promising case example to address human-thing-relations on a more general level, as well as social life itself. Humans organise their lives not only by engaging with materials and things but also by oscillating between movement and stasis. In these various rhythms of mobility - from daily subsistence-based movements to long-term migrations - things like ceramic vessel...

The beaker phenomenon?
Hardcover || Neil Carlin || Sidestone Press
During the mid-third millennium BC, people across Europe started using an international suite of novel material culture including early metalwork and distinctive ceramics known as Beakers. The nature and social significance of this phenomenon, as well as the reasons for its rapid and widespread transmission have been much debated. The adoption of these new ideas and objects in Ireland, Europe's westernmost island, provides a highly suitable case study in which to investigate these issues. Whi...

Urban Graveyard Proceedings De stad en de dood
Hardcover || Jeroen Bouwmeester || Sidestone Press
Het is een wijdverbreid idee dat (post-)middeleeuwse steden een sterfteoverschot hadden en zij slechts in leven konden blijven door de toestroom van migranten; een fenomeen dat bekend staat als het 'urban graveyard'-effect. Over details valt te twisten, maar duidelijk is dat de stad en de dood dichter bij elkaar stonden dan tegenwoordig. Met de dood als belangrijk element in de stedelijke samenleving vormen grafvelden een belangrijke bron van kennis over het leven in de post-middeleeuwen. Sin...

Publications of the Netherlands Institute at Athens Strategies of remembering in greece under Rome 100 bc - 100 ad
Hardcover || David Weidgenannt || Sidestone Press
At the beginning of the first century BC Athens was an independent city bound to Rome through a friendship alliance.

The rest of Achaea was ruled by the governor of Macedonia already since 146 BC, but the numerous defections of Greek cities during the first century BC show that Roman rule was not yet viewed as inevitable....
