By Force of Arms
The day war was invented
2022 || Paperback || Anne Lehoërff || Sidestone Press
One day, sometime around 1700 BC, a bronzesmith made the first sword. This marked a technological turning point, giving rise to an arms race that has never since ceased. Soon, over a vast area between the Baltic Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, thousands of weapons were manufactured. They were used in combat, then laid to rest, whole or broken, often during complex rituals that are still hard for us to understand.
Through the sword, the Bronze Age brought war into being. The warrior became an impo...

Evolving Procedures for Heritage Protection in 15th- to 18th-Century Europe

These early protocols have had a substantial impact on the development of legal and aesthetic approaches to heritage protection in recent times.
In this volume, legislation is explored from both a legal and art-historical perspective in order to understand ...

A prehistoric landscape that documents almost a million years of human habitation and lay dry for most of that time.
Doggerland is where early hominids left the first footprints in northern Europe, more than 900,000 years ago. Later, for hundreds of thousands of year...

Living (World) Heritage Cities
Opportunities, challenges, and future perspectives of people-centered approaches in dynamic historic urban landscapes
2022 || Paperback || Maaike de Waal e.a. || Sidestone Press
Cities are in a constant process of change and are the theater of interaction among people and their complex, historically multi-layered, culturally diverse living environment.

Towards the Borders of the Bronze Age and Beyond
Mycenaean Long Distance Travel and its Reflection in Myth
2022 || Paperback || Jörg Mull || Sidestone Press
The Late Bronze Age from about 1600 to 1150 BCE was a time of unprecedented economic activity in human history based on the supply and production of the eponymous alloy bronze on an almost industrial scale. The supply networks for copper and tin during this period stretched over large parts of western Eurasia and included long distance maritime transport.
The palatial centres of Mycenaean Greece were positioned at a unique geographical interface between the cultural hotspots of the eastern Me...

Each paper investigates the resource requirements of combined activities, from conducti...

Echoes from the Deep
Inventorising shipwrecks at the national scale by the application of marine geophysics and the historical text
2022 || Paperback || Innes McCartney || Sidestone Press
In a process analogous with the impact of aerial photography on landscape archaeology, marine geophysics is locating the remains of thousands of shipwrecks across the seabed of the globe. This research project set out to establish whether all of the shipwrecks in a given geographic region could be identified by name through the mutual study of the 3D models of the shipwrecks, alongside the historic text of shipping losses in the same area.
All of the 273 shipwrecks in a 7,500sqm study area in...
