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...

Studies in Archaeological Sciences Minoan Earthquakes
breaking the myth through interdisciplinarity
2017 || Hardcover || Simon Jusseret e.a. || Leuven University Press
Interdisciplinary study on the role of earthquakes in the eastern Mediterranean.Does the "Minoan myth" still stand up to scientific scrutiny?

Hardcover || Toby Wilkinson || Sidestone Press Dissertations
The famous 'Silk Roads' have long evoked a romantic picture of travel through colourful civilizations that connected the western and eastern poles of Eurasia, facilitating the exchange of exotic luxury goods, peoples, pathogens and ideas.

Tying the Threads of Eurasia app...

Mobility and pottery production
Archaeological and anthropological perspectives
2018 || Hardcover || Caroline Heitz e.a. || Sidestone Press
