Op 13 december 2024 vond de Dag van de historische maritieme archeologie in Nederland (het zestiende Glavimans symposion), plaats bij museum Batavialand te Lelystad.

Het centrale onderwerp van het symposion was: ‘Van wrakhout tot reconstructie’. In de Nederlandse maritieme archeologie is het maken van reconstructies wat ondergesneeuwd geraakt. Om het belang van reconstructies aan te geven en het onderzoek nieuw leven in te blazen, heeft het Glavimans bestuur besloten het symposion aan dit...

Normaal gesproken vormt deze bundel de neerslag van de laatste metaaltijdendag. Op 20 oktober 2023 was de metaaltijdendag te gast in Tiel, en werden de resultaten van het grootste onderzoek Tiel-Medel gepresenteerd. De onderzoekers hadden begrijpelijk wel genoeg geschreven over Tiel, en in deze bundel zijn dan ook geen bijdragen over Tiel te vinden. Wat wel te vinden is, is een breed scala aan bijdragen over objecten en nederzettingen, van speerpunten tot spiegels, en van compacte dorpen tot ...

The Dutch province of Limburg, as it exists now, once bordered the frontier zone of the Roman Empire. It was known for its fertile soils, where, especially in the south, a villa landscape developed during the first three centuries CE. Many of these Roman villas were excavated in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, without being analysed, and publications relating to these sites did not meet contemporary standards.

The Leiden Villa Project, conducted between 2022 and 2024 by a team of res...

The Winthir Collection is one of the few identified skeletal collections from the 19th century, offering a rare insight into the lives of 245 individuals recovered from a long-forgotten section of Winthir Cemetery in Munich, southern Germany. Now housed in the State Collection for Anthropology in Munich, these remains have been analysed through an interdisciplinary project that combines historical and osteological research.

For each individual, historical data such as demographics, cause of ...

The art of painting on bark was once widely found in many parts of the Pacific, including the Sepik River region of Papua New Guinea, the home of the Kwoma people who are the subject of this study. The styles of the paintings and the subjects of designs were as varied as the hundreds of languages spoken in this region.

Following European contact at the end of the nineteenth century, and the social change this brought, many New Guinea peoples discontinued producing their vibrant designs on ba...

This volume comprises 100 archaeological air photographs, principally of sites dating to the Iron Age and Roman periods in Northern Britain, resulting from aerial survey between 1970 and 1995, before the advent of drones when archaeological air photography was still dependent upon the use of light aircraft. The principal target areas were the Anglo-Scottish Borders, central Scotland (crannogs) and the Northern and Western Isles (brochs and duns). Practically, in order to maximise intended ...

The study of kinship from archaeology has been fluctuating. At the end of the 20th century archaeologists were reluctant or skeptical about its relevance and viability. However, in recent decades it has gained prominence and today it is experiencing a sweet moment, although not without problems. Its recent impulse has been due to the methodological development of bioscience techniques (aDNA and isotope studies) and to the profound revision and updating of other inference strategies from house...
