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.

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...

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...

Steentijd in je eigen tijd
Vondsten, materialen en technieken
2021 || Paperback || Dorothee Olthof e.a. || Sidestone Press
De steentijd is vernoemd naar de stenen gereedschappen die mensen in deze tijd maakten. In werkelijkheid gebruikten ze nog veel meer materialen, zoals hout, bot, gewei en plantenvezels, maar die blijven zelden bewaard in de bodem. Ze vergaan. In de natte West-Nederlandse bodem hebben we het geluk dat deze vergankelijke materialen de tand des tijds soms hebben doorstaan: houten bogen, waarmee de jager-verzamelaars en eerste boeren hun buit vingen, boomstamkano’s waarmee ze door het natte lan...
