Vernetzte Bilder
Münzen als Kommunikationsmittel im Kontext der Dynamik der Macht im westlichen Mittelmeerraum, ca. 500-100 v. Chr.
2021 || Paperback || Ulrike Wolf || Sidestone Press Dissertations
Welche Bedeutung griechische Münzbilder in der Antike hatten, ist in der Forschung vielfach hinterfragt und äußerst divergent beantwortet worden. Selten sind Münzen und deren Bildmotive zeitlich und regional übergreifend untersucht worden, denn meist stehen ikonografische Betrachtungen von einzelnen Münztypen innerhalb eines eng umrissenen Zeitraums im Vordergrund.
Ulrike Wolf legt mit ihrer Dissertationsschrift „Vernetzte Bilder“ eine Arbeit vor, bei der die Diskussion der Rolle vo...

Carved stones and Christianisation
Place, movement and memory in early medieval north-western Europe
2021 || Paperback || Anouk Busset || Sidestone Press Dissertations
Barkcloth or tapa, a cloth made from the inner bark of trees, was widely used in place of woven cloth in the Pacific islands until the 19th century. A ubiquitous material, it was integral to the lives of islanders and used for clothing, furnishings and ritual artefacts.

This ...

Bridging Social and Geographical Space through Networks
2021 || Paperback || Helen Dawson e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
This volume represents a bold attempt by the editors to bring scholars from distinct research orientations together, to discuss the interplay between the geographic and social dimensions of different kinds of interaction networks.
Within the humanities, networks afford an umbrella of approaches to the study of social relations and their patterning, both through qualitative and quantitative applications, with two main perspectives standing out: those centered on space and those concerned with ...

Environmental humanities: a rethinking of landscape archaeology?
Interdisciplinary academic research related to different perspectives of landscapes
2021 || Hardcover || S.J. Kluiving e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
There has been an increasing archaeological interest in human-animal-nature relations, where archaeology has shifted from a focus on deciphering meaning, or understanding symbols and the social construction of the landscape to an acknowledgement of how things, places and the environment contribute with their own agencies to the shaping of relations.
This means that the environment cannot be regarded as a blank space that landscape meaning is projected onto. Parallel to this, the field of env...

Seasonal Settlement in the Medieval and Early Modern Countryside
2021 || Paperback || Piers Dixon e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

Using a Europe-wide approach, it provides a primer of examples, of techniques and of ideas for the identification and understanding of seasonal settlement. As such, it marks an important new step in the interpretation of the use of the countryside by historic communities linked to the annual passage of the year. The particular studies are introduced by an opening essay which draws wider conclusions about ...

Breaking and making the ancestors
Piecing together the urnfield mortuary process in the Lower-Rhine-Basin, ca. 1300 - 400 BC
2021 || Paperback || Arjan Louwen || Sidestone Press Dissertations
Towards the capstone of the European Bronze Age, in an area stretching from the Carpathians in the East to the North Sea in the West, vast cremation grave cemeteries occur that are perhaps better known as ‘urnfields.’ Today some 700 of these burial sites have come to light in the Netherlands alone.
In this corner of Europe, also known as the ‘Lower-Rhine-Basin,’ these cemeteries are often characterised by vast collections of small burial mounds under which the cremated remains of dec...

A completely normal practice
The emergence of selective metalwork deposition in Denmark, north-west Germany, and the Netherlands between 2350-1500 BC
2021 || Paperback || Marieke Visser || Sidestone Press Dissertations
In Bronze Age Europe, an enormous amount of metalwork was buried in the ground and never retrieved. Patterns in the archaeological finds show that this was a deliberate practice: people systematically deposited valuable metal objects in specific places in the landscape, even in non-metalliferous regions. Although this practice seems strange and puzzling from our modern perspective, these patterns demonstrate that it was not simply a matter of irrational human behaviour. Instead, there were su...
