Death at the Dunnu
Investigating Funerary Variety at Middle Assyrian Tell Sabi Abyad, Syria
2023 || Paperback || Keshia Akkermans || Sidestone Press
During the roughly hundred years (ca. 1225 – 1125 BCE) that the Middle Assyrian dunnu at Tell Sabi Abyad was in operation, some forty-nine individuals were interred in graves of a striking diversity.

Urban Design
Cities in Past, Present and Future
2023 || Paperback || Annette Haug e.a. || Sidestone Press
As central places of human interaction, cities influence the reality of our lives like no other phenomenon. They are in a highly complex, reciprocal relationship with changing environmental, social, political, economic and religious constellations. Accordingly, the demands placed on cities and the ideas associated with them are often subject to highly dynamic change. Especially against the backdrop of increasingly rapid urbanisation, shaping this change is one of today’s central challenges ...

From Quarries to Rock-cut Sites
Echoes of Stone Crafting
2023 || Paperback || Anaïs Lamesa e.a. || Sidestone Press
The archaeological study of quarries focuses mainly on the reconstruction of the extraction process, while rock-hewn spaces have often been approached from the point of view of architectural styles or art-history. Nevertheless, a holistic structural approach to the study these spaces could allow a better understanding of the agency of those who carved the stone.
Stone quarries and rock-cut sites have rarely been included in global studies of historical landscapes and few are the forums dedic...

Jebel Aruda: An Uruk period temple and settlement in Syria
Volume II: Plates of Room Contents
2023 || Paperback || Govert van Driel e.a. || Sidestone Press
Jebel Aruda, a prominent mountain ridge overlooking the Taqba Dam lake in northern Syria, was the location of a remarkable settlement that flourished between c. 3300 and 3100 BC during the so-called Uruk period. For the inhabitants the sacredness of this high place, evidenced by the discovery of a large temple complex, seems to have taken precedent over its impractical location far above the valley of the Euphrates River. The site was destroyed under unknown circumstances, leaving behind the ...

Roots of Routes
Mobilität und Netzwerke zwischen Vergangenheit und Zukunft
2023 || Paperback || Henny Piezonka e.a. || Sidestone Press
Menschen und Räume waren schon immer durch Routen verbunden: Pfade, Wege und Straßen – zu Lande, zu Wasser und manchmal auch durch die Luft, über Stock und Stein ebenso wie über Holzbohlen, Pflaster und Asphalt. Menschen und Tiere folgten ihnen. Die Routen lenkten den Kreislauf von Rohstoffen und Waren. Sie bestimmten die Wege, auf denen die Menschen vor Elend und Gefahr flohen, und sie bildeten die physischen und imaginären Adern der Netzwerke zwischen Gemeinschaften. All diese kultur...
