Palaeolithic Italy
Advanced studies on early human adaptations in the Apennine peninsula
2018 || Paperback || Valentina Borgia e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
The picture of the Palaeolithic adaptations in the Italian Peninsula has always been coarse-grained compared to various well-researched regional hotspots in central and western Europe, as a result of historical research bias preventing the application of new research methodologies. Nonetheless, discoveries regarding Neanderthal extinction and behavioural complexity, the dispersal of Anatomically Modern Humans as well as the origin and diffusion of modern technologies and symbolic behaviour in...
How’s life?
living conditions in Europe during the 2nd and 1st millennia BCE
2019 || Paperback || Nicole Taylor e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
The Bronze Age and Early Iron Age saw many developments in metalworking, social structure, food production, nutrition, and diet. At the same time, networks in Europe intensified and human impact on the environment changed in character. What influence did these transformations have on daily life? Which proxies can researchers use to study these topics?
This volume presents scientific contributions from different fields of expertise within modern archaeology in order to investigate past living ...
Islands of Salt
Historical Archaeology of Seafarers and Things in the Venezuelan Caribbean, 1624–1880
2019 || Hardcover || Konrad Antczak || Sidestone Press Academics
The early-modern Venezuelan Caribbean did not lure seafarers with the saccharine delights of cane sugar but with the preserving qualities of solar sea salt. In this book, the historical archaeological study of this salty commodity offers a unique entryway into the hitherto unknown maritime mobilities and daily lives of the seafarers who camped at the saltpans of Venezuelan islands from the seventeenth to the late nineteenth centuries, cultivating and harvesting the white crystal of the sea.

Insights into Social Inequality
A Quantitative Study of Neolithic to Early Medieval Societies in Southwest Germany
2020 || Hardcover || Ralph Grossmann || Sidestone Press Academics
Social inequality is a subject of contemporary concerns. Life capabilities and the access to resources vary significantly in rich and poor countries, between elites and others. Furthermore, inequalities based on bio-anthropological and non-bio-anthropological causes are almost universal. Accordingly, inequality was also inherent in past societies and archaeologists have continually examined and interpreted social inequalities in sources such as burial grounds.
This book continues such analyse...
Contemporary Philosophy for Maritime Archaeology
Flat Ontologies, Oceanic Thought, and the Anthropocene
2023 || Paperback || Sara Rich e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
While terrestrial archaeology has engaged with contemporary philosophy, maritime archaeology has remained in comparative disciplinary – or subdisciplinary – isolation. However, the issues that humans face in the Anthropocene – from global warming to global pandemics – call for transdisciplinary cooperation, and for thinking together beyond the confines of the human-centered philosophical tradition. Growing areas such as the “blue humanities” and “oceanic thinking” draw directl...
Containers of Change
Ancient Container Technologies from Eastern to Western Asia
2023 || Hardcover || Olivier Nieuwenhuyse e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
Across Western Asia, the astonishing increase in the availability of durable ceramic containers in the seventh millennium BCE had significant societal repercussions – so much so that vital social, economic, and symbolic activities became dependent upon the availability of pottery containers. These early ceramic containers, however, established themselves alongside flourishing pre-existing container traditions, with vessels made in a wide range of materials including clay, bitumen, basketry,...
