The potters’ perspectives
A vibrant chronological narrative of ceramic manufacturing practices in the valley of Juigalpa, Chontales, Nicaragua (cal 300 CE-present)
2020 || Paperback || Natalia R. Donner || Leiden University Press
The work of Fernand Braudel (1949) should have revolutionized the way archaeology conceptualizes temporal scales and builds chronological narratives. Even though Braudel’s general views did impact archaeological theory deeply, his three different time-scales, together with insights into duration as the inner dialectic between different temporalities, remain neglected in archaeological practice.
Nowadays, ceramic chronology building in archaeology still relies on two main variables: time-spa...

Designating Place
Archaeological Perspectives on Built Environments in Ostia and Pompeii
2020 || Paperback || Hans Kamermans e.a. || Leiden University Press
Spatial analysis on the basis of material culture has always been one of the mayor topics in archaeological research.

This book is based on the work of Hanna Stöger, the Leiden scholar who died in 2018. Hanna’s work in Ostia was not finished and this book contains contributions from people who inspired her, people sh...

Mapping Medieval Merv
An Exploration into the Application of Cartographic Analysis and Urban Morphological Theory to an Urban Archaeological Site
2025 || Hardcover || Loren Cowin || Sidestone Press Dissertations
Situated within the vast Karakum desert of western Central Asia, the Merv oasis exhibits a trove of archaeological sites, owing to its rich ancient and medieval history. Likely due to its strategic location along the historic Silk Roads, the oasis boasts no less than three distinct urban sites, each corresponding to a different period.
During the Islamic Golden Age (8th-13th centuries CE), the city of Merv flourished as a significant centre of Islamic scholarship and occasionally served as a ...

human Impact and Plant Subsistence in Dutch Wetlands During the Late Mesolithic and Early and Middle Neolithic (5500-3400 cal BC)
2009 || Paperback || Welmoed Aave Out || Universiteit Leiden hodn Leiden Universi
Een onderzoek naar de overgang van jagen en verzamelen naar landbouw, het zogenoemde neolithisatieproces.
Het begrip van het neolithisatieproces is in de laatste decennia in Nederland aanzienlijk toegenomen. Een samenhangend overzicht van het archeobotanisch onderzoek naar de overgang van jagen en verzamelen naar landbouw, ontbrak tot nu toe.
Dit proefschrift heeft tot doel een beter begrip van het neolithisatieproces in de Nederlandse 'wetlands' te bieden. De auteur doet dit door middel van d...

The Island of Skyros from Late Roman to Early Modern Times Archaeological studies Leiden University (ASLU)
an archaeological survey
2015 || Paperback || Michalis Karambinis || Leiden University Press
Aegean archaeology has mainly concentrated on Prehistoric and Greco-Roman times and has provided relatively little information on human activity and material culture in the medieval period. Historical research concerning the medieval era is sufficiently developed but archaeological research on the medieval Aegean has mainly focused on matters of art and architecture. In fact, we have an overall picture of the medieval and post-medieval periods for only a few islands of the Aegean. This ASLU v...

Irrigating the Desert
Water Management, Agricultural Practices, and Social Complexity in Southern Turkmenistan during the Bronze Age
2025 || Paperback || Roberto Arciero || Leiden University Press
Ancient civilizations often developed near major rivers, like in Egypt and Mesopotamia. In Central Asia, the Murghab alluvial fan in southern Turkmenistan was central to the emergence of the Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC), also known as the Oxus Civilization, during the third and second millennia BCE. The local alluvial fan was central for the productive agriculture at the basis of the region's urban centers and the wealth that accumulated in these societies.

Lithic Technology and Knowledge Transmission in Mesolithic Northern Europe
2024 || Paperback || Sandra Söderlind || Sidestone Press Dissertations

The study of these topics regarding the past can promote an understanding of the social implications of migration, communication and learning today through long-term perspectives of change. This volume focuses on these topics in the Mesolithic by analysing a specialised lithic concept known previously from Scandinavia and Northern Germany. The implementation of the Handle Core Pressure Concept (HCPC) is b...

The Early and Middle Pleistocene Archaeological Record of Greece / druk 1
Current status and future prospects
2010 || Paperback || V. Tourloukis || Leiden University Press
By applying a fieldwork-based, geoarchaeological approach, Tourloukis examines in this study the evidence from Greece within the framework of the earliest occupation of Europe. Although the Greek Peninsula lies within a core area of early hominin movements between Africa and Europe but also within Eurasia itself, the Lower Palaeolithic record of Greece remains as yet extremely poor.
Choosing the scanty Greek record as a case-study, Tourloukis elaborates on a hitherto largely overlooked subjec...

Artikelen over de ontwikkeling van nieuwe methoden en toegepast onderzoek naar voorspellende modellen in het beheer van cultureel erfgoed
Nederland is een van de weinige Europese landen waar voorspellende modellen een rol spelen in het beheer van archeologisch erfgoed. Deze modellen worden gebruikt om de locatie van archeologische vindplaatsen te voorspellen. Ze spelen zo een rol in toekomstige ontwikkelingen van het moderne landschap. Voor veel onderzoekers is het gebruik van voorspellende mo...
