“Better Than We”
Landscapes and materialities of race, class, and gender in pre-emancipation Saba, Dutch Caribbean
2023 || Hardcover || Ryan Espersen || Sidestone Press Academics
This study aims to understand the materiality of Saba’s ideological landscape during its pre-emancipation colonial period. This is accomplished by understanding the dialectics, or inseparable relationships, between Saba’s geography, locally-situated ideologies of class, race, and gender in Saba’s social environment, and the processes behind these ideological relations that contributed to the material things that are found across Saba’s social landscape.
This provides insights into ar...

Bronzezeitliche Transformationsprozesse in Schleswig-Holstein am Beispiel des Fundplatzes von Mang de Bargen (Bornhöved, Kr. Segeberg)
2023 || Hardcover || Stefanie Schaefer-Di Maida || Sidestone Press Dissertations
During the Bronze Age the new, eponymous, highly-desired metal spread widely across Europe. It changed labour sectors, networks, worldviews and societies, and brought with it different transformations in diverse areas of life and death.

Death at the Dunnu
Investigating Funerary Variety at Middle Assyrian Tell Sabi Abyad, Syria
2023 || Hardcover || Keshia Akkermans || Sidestone Press

In this book their burial type, location, orientation, position, grave goods and osteological data are analysed in order to generate new insights on Middle Assyrian society. Most graves appear to have been inhumation graves dug into abandoned spaces in and around the settlement. Men, women, and...

Jebel Aruda: An Uruk period temple and settlement in Syria
Volume II: Plates of Room Contents
2023 || Hardcover || 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 ...

Digital Archaeology
Promises and Impasses
2023 || Hardcover || Tuna Kalaycı e.a. || Sidestone Press
Archaeology has gone digital for some time now! Topics such as GIS databases, 3D models, drone photography, meta- and para-data, semantic mapping, text mining, simulation, and social network analysis have become commonplace in archaeological discourse and practice. Digital and technological advancements seemingly offer limitless promises for data recording, analysis and dissemination. Yet, after several decades of innovation, we must ask ourselves which of these promises are actually fulfille...

Contemporary Philosophy for Maritime Archaeology
Flat Ontologies, Oceanic Thought, and the Anthropocene
2023 || Hardcover || Sara Rich e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
While terrestrial archaeology has engaged with contemporary philosophy, maritime archaeology has remained in comparative disciplinary – or subdisciplinary – isolation. However, the issues that humans face in the Anthropocene – from global warming to global pandemics – call for transdisciplinary cooperation, and for thinking together beyond the confines of the human-centered philosophical tradition. Growing areas such as the “blue humanities” and “oceanic thinking” draw directl...

Household goods in the European Medieval and Early Modern Countryside
2023 || Hardcover || Catarina Tente e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
Although household goods are a well-establish topic in Medieval and Early Modern archaeology, more recent research is overcoming simple typological and technological aspects and pointing to broader approaches, which relates to the understanding of goods’ production, consumption strategies, other economic activities and structures of social organization. Thus, the understanding of past societies and cultures relies heavily in the study of their household goods to understand people, groups an...
