By Force of Arms
The day war was invented
2022 || Hardcover || Anne Lehoërff || Sidestone Press
One day, sometime around 1700 BC, a bronzesmith made the first sword. This marked a technological turning point, giving rise to an arms race that has never since ceased. Soon, over a vast area between the Baltic Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, thousands of weapons were manufactured. They were used in combat, then laid to rest, whole or broken, often during complex rituals that are still hard for us to understand.
Through the sword, the Bronze Age brought war into being. The warrior became an impo...

Connectivity Matters!
Social, Environmental and Cultural Connectivity in Past Societies
2022 || Hardcover || Johannes Müller || Sidestone Press Academics
This book is a presentation of the basic concept of social, environmental and cultural connectivity in past societies, as embodied in a diversity of disciplines in the Cluster of Excellence ROOTS. Thus, rather pragmatically driven ideas of socio-environmental connectivities are described, which form the basis of the Cluster of Excellence in its research.
A discussion of the fluidness of the term ‘connectivity’ and the applicability of the concept opens the arena for diverse interpretatio...

Settling Waterscapes in Europe
The Archaeology of Neolithic & Bronze Age Pile-Dwellings
2022 || Hardcover || Albert Hafner e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
Pile dwellings have been explored over a vast region for a number of decades now. This has led to the development of different ways, methods, and even schools of under-water and peat-bog excavation practices and data analysis techniques under the influence of different research traditions in individual countries. On the one hand, these and other factors can limit our understanding of the past, whilst on the other hand they can also open up further avenues of interpretation.
By collecting the ...

Valsheid in Gesteente
Onderzoek naar de aard van de Vermaning-artefacten
2022 || Hardcover || Frans de Vries e.a. || Koninklijke Van Gorcum
De vuistbijlen van Tjerk Vermaning binnenstebuiten gekeerd. Wie zit(ten) achter deze en andere grootschalige vervalsingen?
Tjerk Vermaning en zijn omstreden vuistbijlen staan nog altijd in de belangstelling. En dat ruim 50 jaar na zijn eerste spraakmakende ontdekking: een mammoetjagerskampement bij Hoogersmilde (Dr.) dat uit de Neanderthalertijd zou stammen, zo’n 60.000 jaar geleden. De hernieuwde focus op Tjerk Vermaning begon enkele jaren geleden met de roman ‘Tjerk’ en in 2018/2019 w...

Armour, Chariots and Other Leather Remains from Tutankhamun’s Tomb
2022 || Hardcover || André Veldmeijer e.a. || Sidestone Press
One hundred years ago, Howard Carter, working for Lord Carnarvon, made one of the most important archaeological discoveries of all times in the Valley of the Kings (Luxor, Egypt): the nearly intact tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun (ca. 1335-1325 BC). In addition to the king’s body, the tomb contained well over 5000 objects, which were recovered, conserved and recorded by Carter and his team. The fabulous treasures, such as the gold coffins, funerary mask, jewellery, as well as the ...

Shaping Cultural Landscapes
Connecting Agriculture, Crafts, Construction, Transport, and Resilience Strategies
2022 || Hardcover || Ann Brysbaert e.a. || Sidestone Press
Any activity requires the expenditure of energy, and the larger the scale of the undertakings, the more careful and strategic planning in advance is required. In focusing on labouring by humans and other animals, the papers in this volume investigate through a wide range of contexts how past people achieved their multiple daily tasks while remaining resilient in anticipation of adverse events and periods.
Each paper investigates the resource requirements of combined activities, from conducti...

Hidden dimensions
Aspects of Mesolithic hunter-gatherer landscape use and non-lithic technology
2022 || Hardcover || Ole Grøn e.a. || Sidestone Press
The modelling and representation of prehistoric hunter-gatherer behaviours is largely influenced by the investigation of sites with high archaeological visibility, due to the presence of large amounts of knapped lithics, which generally survive the ravages of time. As a consequence, behaviours which were not, or to a limited extent, associated with stone tools are underrepresented in archaeological narratives about hunter-gatherer lifestyles, which, however, have characterised most of the hum...

Keramik jenseits von 'Kulturen'
Mobilität, Verflechtungen und Transformationen im nördlichen Alpenvorland (3950–3800 v.Chr.)
2022 || Hardcover || Caroline Heitz || Sidestone Press Dissertations
Mobilität ist für Formen des sozialen Zusammenlebens grundlegend. Doch welche Rolle spielte räumliche Mobilität in der Vergangenheit? Aus prähistorischen Zeitabschnitten wie etwa dem Neolithikum ist dazu noch immer wenig bekannt. Das gilt auch für die Siedlungsräume des nördlichen Alpenvorlandes. Deren Feuchtbodensiedlungen mit den hervorragend erhaltenen Resten in Seen und Mooren gehören seit 2011 zum UNESCO Welterbe und bieten eine einzigartige Forschungsgrundlage. Die dendrochron...

Islamic Glass in the Making
Chronological and Geographical Dimensions
2022 || Hardcover || Nadine Schibille || Leuven University Press
The ancient glass industry changed dramatically towards the end of the first millennium. The Roman glassmaking tradition of mineral soda glass was increasingly supplanted by the use of plant ash as the main fluxing agent at the turn of the ninth century CE. Defining primary production groups of plant ash glass has been a challenge due to the high variability of raw materials and the smaller scale of production. Islamic Glass in the Making advocates a large-scale archaeometric approach to the ...
