Dit boek vertelt niet veel over de opgraving (die in barre weersomstandigheden en onder tijdsdruk werd uitgevoerd) maar over de resten van de vroegere huizen, hun bewoners en vooral over wat die bewoners achterlieten aan voorwerpen. Wijnglazen, hondenbotten, pijpenkoppen, knikkers, een middeleeuws pelgrimsinsigne uit Aken en aardewerk uit het Engeland van de Industriële Revolutie komen langs. Bij sommige van die voorwerpen zul je je eerst afvragen, wat ze kunnen bijdragen aan onze kennis van...

Fossiele eiken, veen- of bostoponiemen, Romeinse houtskoolmeilers, wildforstersgoederen, kogelpotten, relieken en bescherming van het landschap: in De logica van het landschap geven 31 artikelen samen een beeld van het brede werkterrein van de archeologie en landschapsgeschiedenis. De auteurs zijn archeologen of onderzoekers uit aanpalende vakgebieden. Ze schrijven over de archeologie van Oost-Nederland en Limburg, over bossen en bosgeschiedenis, veengebieden en zandlandschappen, maar ook ove...

This book is a tribute to the remarkable achievements of Peter M.M.G. Akkermans in the archaeology of West Asia. A focus on previously overlooked periods and regions has been the hallmark of his work. Instead of investigating the traditional key transitions and core regions that have been central to the archaeology of West Asia, Peter always aimed to shed light on the ‘in-between’ periods and regions, often dismissed as being ‘marginal’ (in his words ‘marginal to whom or what?’). ...

This study considers the detailed archaeological and documentary records of Cyprus and Ugarit (Syria) to gain new insights into the long-term relations between two of the best known, well-connected polities in the Late Bronze Age eastern Mediterranean.

I engage with concepts such as maritime space and spheres of interaction, merchants and mercantilism, actors and agents. Some background on both Ugarit and Cyprus is presented, followed by examination of the common material features of both (e....

This volume collects papers on the pre-Corded Ware horizon in central Europe and adjacent areas (i.e. from c. 3500 – 2800 BC). This phase is very patchily researched, partly also because certain kinds of evidence, notably domestic architecture and burials, are rare or absent in many regions. This has occasionally been interpreted as signs of a major crisis and population bottleneck, which in turn facilitated the migration of new populations from the steppe, bringing with them amongst others...

Op 8 december 2023 is bij Batavialand te Lelystad de Dag van de historische maritieme archeologie in Nederland (het vijftiende Glavimans symposion) georganiseerd.

Dit jaar was ‘Straatvaart’ het centrale thema, de scheepvaart op het Mediterrane gebied en de Levant. Het betreft een relatief onderbelicht onderwerp binnen de maritieme geschiedenis, waar vanuit de maritieme archeologie een grote bijdrage aan kan worden geleverd.

Meerdere sprekers hebben het onderwerp vanuit verschillende inval...

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 ...

This collection of papers was compiled in celebration of the remarkable academic career of Professor Wil Roebroeks, who has established himself as one of Europe’s leading figures in Palaeolithic archaeology over the past three decades and founded the Human origins research group at Leiden University. The volume features a diverse array of chapters contributed by close colleagues, as well as former and current students, providing a thorough overview of the flourishing field of Palaeolithic a...
