Landscapes of Survival
The Archaeology and Epigraphy of Jordan’s North-Eastern Desert and Beyond
Hardcover || Peter Akkermans || Sidestone Press
The ‘Black Desert’ begins just south of Damascus and comprises some 40,000 km2 of dark and desolate basalt fields, which stretch from southern Syria across north-eastern Jordan and reach the sand sea of the Nefud in Saudi Arabia. The rough and highly arid terrain is often difficult to access and travel through. Despite these uninviting conditions, recent fieldwork has revealed the immense archaeological and epigraphic record of the Black Desert. This material testifies to the prominent su...

Insights into Social Inequality
A Quantitative Study of Neolithic to Early Medieval Societies in Southwest Germany
Paperback || Ralph Grossmann || Sidestone Press Academics
Social inequality is a subject of contemporary concerns. Life capabilities and the access to resources vary significantly in rich and poor countries, between elites and others. Furthermore, inequalities based on bio-anthropological and non-bio-anthropological causes are almost universal. Accordingly, inequality was also inherent in past societies and archaeologists have continually examined and interpreted social inequalities in sources such as burial grounds.
This book continues such analyse...
Caribbean Figure Pendants: Style and Subject Matter
Anthropomorphic figure pendants of the late Ceramic Age in the Greater Antilles
Paperback || Vernon James Knight || Sidestone Press Academics
This work synthesizes art-historical and anthropological methods in the analysis of a large corpus of indigenous figure pendants, commonly called “amulets,” from the Greater Antilles and Bahamas. Figure pendants, ubiquitous in Caribbean collections, are small carvings of spirit beings perforated for suspension against the body. The data are drawn from new photographs, measurements, and observations of 535 specimens compiled by the author during 2011-2018 in research visits to 34 museums a...

Hellenistic Architecture and Human Action
A Case of Reciprocal Influence
2020 || Paperback || Annette Haug e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
This book examines the mutual influence of architecture and human action during a key period of history: the Hellenistic age. During this era, the profound transformations in the Mediterranean's archaeological and historical record are detectable, pointing to a conscious intertwining of the physical (landscape, architecture, bodies) and social (practice) components of built space.
Compiling the outcomes of a conference held in Kiel in 2018, the volume assembles contributions focusing on Hellen...

Dorestad and its Networks
Communities, Contact and Conflict in Early Medieval Europe
2021 || Hardcover || Annemarieke Willemsen e.a. || Sidestone Press
Dorestad was the largest town of the Low Countries in the Carolingian era. As a riverine emporium on the northern edge of the Frankish Empire, it functioned as a European junction, connecting the Viking world with the Continent. In 2019, the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden hosted its quinquennial international congress based around Dorestad, located at present-day Wijk bij Duurstede. This third edition, ‘Dorestad and its Networks’, coincided with the fiftieth birthday of finding ...
Bigger Than History / 1st edition
Why Archaeology Matters
2020 || Paperback || Brian Fagan e.a. || Thames & Hudson Ltd
Why does archaeology matter? How does studying prehistory help us understand climate change? How can archaeological discoveries challenge contemporary assumptions about gender? How has archaeology been used and misused to support political and nationalist agendas - and how can it help build a more diverse and inclusive picture of our world by examining the people left out of written history? Brian Fagan and Nadia Durrani address these and other questions, exploring how archaeology's long-term...

a long-term perspective on communities in the process of neolithisation in the lower rhine area (5500-2500 cal bc)
Hardcover || Luc Amkreutz || Sidestone Press Dissertations
The adoption of agriculture is one of the major developments in human history. Archaeological studies have demonstrated that the trajectories of Neolithisation in Northwest Europe were diverse. This book presents a study into the archaeology of the communities involved in the process of Neolithisation in the Lower Rhine Area (5500-2500 cal BC). It elucidates the role played by the indigenous communities in relation to their environmental context and in view of the changes that becoming Neolit...

Hispaniola - Hell or Home?
Decolonizing Grand Narratives about Intercultural Interactions at Concepción de la Vega (1494-1564)
Hardcover || Pauline Kulstad-González || Sidestone Press Dissertations
Grand Narratives of colonization, especially ones related to the Spanish and Portuguese Americas, began circulating soon after 1492. The danger of these Grand Narratives is that they are often mistaken as reality and eclipse all other possible narrations pertaining to a particular place and/or time. As more Caribbean territories become independent, the questioning of Grand Narratives has permeated many disciplines in the region, and archaeology is no exception.
This work attempts to examine th...
