Beyond use-wear traces
Going from tools to people by means of archaeological wear and residue analyses
2021 || Hardcover || Sylvie Beyries e.a. || Sidestone Press
This book brings together 30 papers by leading scholars in the field of usewear and residue analysis. This publication aims to revive the debate on the role of traceology (use-wear and residues) in multidisciplinary approaches that address archaeological questions. Many studies on technological aspects of material culture deal with specific material categories (e.g. flint, ceramics, bone), often in separate or isolated ways, and this division does not really reflect the integrated nature of t...

Labouring with large stones
A study into the investment and impact of construction projects on Mycenaean communities in Late Bronze Age Greece
Hardcover || Yannick Boswinkel || Sidestone Press Dissertations
This book explores the cost, expressed in labour, of constructing fortifications during the Late Bronze Age in Greece (ca. 1600 – 1050 BCE). The underlying question for this study is whether the cost of large scale constructions, built with large, unwieldy blocks, may have overstretched the (economic) capabilities of communities, leading to their collapse.
In order to determine the labour costs, the building process is deconstructed and for each sub-process, the costs are determined. The co...

Toegankelijk geschreven voor een breed publiek put het boek uit nieuwste theorieën en het geheel is rijk geïl...

Bones at a crossroads
Integrating Worked Bone Research with Archaeometry and Social Zooarchaeology
2021 || Hardcover || Markus Wild e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
Bone tool studies are at a crossroads. A current path is to go beyond the concatenation of methods or concepts borrowed from other disciplines and aim instead at a truly integrated approach that is more in line with the objectives of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research.
The papers in this volume follow this direction by adopting various forms of dialogue and integration between old and new methods and approaches, including technological analysis, usewear analysis, typology, zooa...
