Labouring with large stones
A study into the investment and impact of construction projects on Mycenaean communities in Late Bronze Age Greece
Paperback || 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...

Barrows at the Core of Bronze Age Communities
Petersfield Heath excavations 2014–18 in their regional context
2021 || Hardcover || 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...

A completely normal practice
The emergence of selective metalwork deposition in Denmark, north-west Germany, and the Netherlands between 2350-1500 BC
Hardcover || Marieke Visser || Sidestone Press Dissertations
In Bronze Age Europe, an enormous amount of metalwork was buried in the ground and never retrieved. Patterns in the archaeological finds show that this was a deliberate practice: people systematically deposited valuable metal objects in specific places in the landscape, even in non-metalliferous regions. Although this practice seems strange and puzzling from our modern perspective, these patterns demonstrate that it was not simply a matter of irrational human behaviour. Instead, there were su...

Beyond use-wear traces
Going from tools to people by means of archaeological wear and residue analyses
2021 || Paperback || 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...

Apollonia on my Mind
The memoir of a paraplegic ocean scientist
Paperback || Nicholas Flemming || Sidestone Press
The ocean conceals secrets, ancient, modern, and future. Nic Flemming’s memoir recounts the life of a pioneer in ocean science. Each chapter describes a thread that structured his work: underwater cities, submerged Ice Age caverns dripping with stalactites, the limits to ocean exploitation, ocean climate change, prehistoric settlements on the continental shelf, ocean law, and safe scientific diving. Flemming is paralysed from the chest down and has used a wheelchair for the past 52 years; o...

Environmental humanities: a rethinking of landscape archaeology?
Interdisciplinary academic research related to different perspectives of landscapes
2021 || Paperback || S.J. Kluiving e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
There has been an increasing archaeological interest in human-animal-nature relations, where archaeology has shifted from a focus on deciphering meaning, or understanding symbols and the social construction of the landscape to an acknowledgement of how things, places and the environment contribute with their own agencies to the shaping of relations.
This means that the environment cannot be regarded as a blank space that landscape meaning is projected onto. Parallel to this, the field of env...

Farm, Hunt, Feast, Celebrate
Animals and Society in Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age in Northern France
2021 || Paperback || Ginette Auxiette e.a. || Sidestone Press
Building on the experience of twenty-five years of fieldwork and archaeozoological analyses carried out during research projects in various regions of northern France, this book examines animal husbandry and hunting practices over the 5000 year period from the first sedentary groups to the more evolved societies, corresponding to the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age.
This approach is based on the processing of a very large amount of data, from sources as varied as settlements, assembly places, ...
