God on Earth: Emperor Domitian
The re-invention of Rome at the end of the 1st century AD
2021 || Paperback || Aurora Raimondi Cominesi e.a. || Sidestone Press
In life, the emperor Domitian (81-96 CE) marketed himself as a god; after his assassination he was condemned to be forgotten. Nonetheless he oversaw a literary, cultural, and monumental revival on a scale not witnessed since Rome’s first emperor, Augustus.
In tandem with an exhibition in the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden and the Mercati Traianei in Rome, planned for 2021-2022, this volume offers a fresh perspective on Domitian and his reign. This collection of papers, produced by a gr...

Gender stereotypes in archaeology
A short reflection in image and text
2021 || Paperback || Laura Coltofean-Arizancu e.a. || Sidestone Press
Were men the only hunters and producers of tools, art and innovation in prehistory? Were women the only gatherers, home-bound breeders and caregivers? Are all prehistoric female depictions mother goddesses? And do women and men have equal career chances in archaeology? To put it short, no. However, these are some of the gender stereotypes that we still encounter on a daily basis in archaeology from the way archaeologists interpret the past and present it to the general public to how they prac...

Barrows at the Core of Bronze Age Communities
Supplementary Material
2021 || Paperback || Stuart Needham e.a. || Sidestone Press
Barrows at the Core of Bronze Age Communities argues exactly that. Round barrows do not just represent the death side of Early Bronze Age communities placed in set-a-side ritual landscapes, but were instead central to existence in many ways. This study of the Rother Region, where the Weald meets the Wessex massif, reports the results of the People of the Heath project, 2014–18. It integrates a wealth of data from comprehensive field study of all relevant sites in the region with that from e...

The Value of a Human Life
Ritual Killing and Human Sacrifice in Antiquity
2022 || Paperback || Karel Innemée || Sidestone Press
Throughout the millennia and all over the world people have been killed by others, not only in wars and as a result of murders, but also in a ritualised way, often called human sacrifice. Much has been written about this, and research and discussion about ritual killing continue. This book offers contributions to this on-going discussion, by a re-evaluation of the term human sacrifice, arguing that not all forms of ritual killing can be considered to be sacrificial.

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...

Place, movement and memory in early medieval north-western Europe
Hardcover || Anouk Busset || Sidestone Press Dissertations

A ubiquitous material, it was integral to the lives of islanders and used for clothing, furnishings and ritual artefacts.

This ...

Making a Neolithic non-megalithic monument - Catalogue
Catalogue of a TRB burial ground at Dalfsen (the Netherlands), c. 3000-2750 cal. BC
2022 || Paperback || Henk van der Velde e.a. || Sidestone Press
In 2015 at Dalfsen (the Netherlands) archaeologists made an amazing discovery. They found a burial ground dating from the TRB-period (3000-2750 BC) comprising 141 burial pits. The TRB is dated in the last phase of the Middle Neolithic period and is well known for its megalithic monuments which are widespread through large parts of northern Europe.
Until recently few non-megalithic burial grounds were known and the find of the Dalfsen burials created new opportunities to study the mortuary rit...

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...
