Heritage, Landscape and Spatial Justice
New Legal Perspectives on Heritage Protection in the Lesser Antilles
2022 || Paperback || Amanda Byer || Sidestone Press Dissertations
The Caribbean region faces particular environmental challenges as a result of colonial land use, pressures from tourism and globalisation, as well as climate change. No less affected are its heritage resources, which include natural and cultural elements crucial to economic survival and local identity. This research explores the relationship between land, law and heritage in order to better understand the regulatory failures that undermine heritage protection in the English-speaking Caribbean.
Using a spatial justice lens to examine the legal framework of eight islands in the Lesser Antilles, the analysis posits that domestic heritage laws are ineffective, because they ignore the relevance of local places or landscapes to the formation of heritage. Relying instead on ideas of land as abstract property rights, heritage is presented as a mere visual embellishment that can deteriorate into an unsightly and costly burden for the landowner or State, rather than the outcome of dynamic and locally unique interactions between people and place...

Keramik jenseits von 'Kulturen'
Mobilität, Verflechtungen und Transformationen im nördlichen Alpenvorland (3950–3800 v.Chr.)
2022 || Paperback || 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...

The Life and Journey of Neolithic Copper Objects
Transformations of the Neuenkirchen Hoard, North-East Germany (3800 BCE)
2022 || Paperback || Henry Skorna || Sidestone Press Academics
This work is an intensive study of the Neolithic deposition of copper objects from Neuenkirchen in North-East Germany. This unique ensemble represents one of the very rare hoard finds from the early Early Neolithic, and is the first of its kind for nearly 100 years, matched only by the famous younger hoard find from Bygholm (Denmark).
The beginning of neolithization at the end of the fifth millennium is not only characterised by a change in the subsistence strategy, but also by the developmen...

In Van Neanderthaler tot rendierjager nemen we het publiek mee naar een bijzondere periode uit de rijke geschiedenis van de provincie Drenthe: de Oude Steentijd.

Burgäschisee 5000-3000 v. Chr.
Siedlungsdynamik und Mobilität, Landnutzung und Subsistenz
2022 || Paperback || Albert Hafner e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
Seeufersiedlungen mit Feuchtbodenerhaltung sind für die Erforschung des Neolithikums des Alpenvorlandes von herausragender Bedeutung. Die ausserordentlich gute Erhaltung der Siedlungsschichten lässt weitgehende Einblicke in die Lebensweise der prähistorischen Menschen zu. Das Hinterland der grossen Seen ist im Gegensatz dazu weniger gut untersucht. Eine Schlüsselrolle bei dessen Erforschung nehmen die zahlreichen Kleinseen des Schweizerischen Mittellandes ein. Auch an deren Ufern finden s...

Connectivity Matters!
Social, Environmental and Cultural Connectivity in Past Societies

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...

Flintknapping from the Lateglacial to the Early Holocene
The Belgian Scheldt valley sites of Ruien and Kerkhove
2022 || Paperback || Hans Vandendriessche || Sidestone Press Dissertations
This book discusses the lithic technology of the neighboring sites of Ruien and Kerkhove (Belgium). The Final-Palaeolithic occupation of Ruien took place during the harsh climatic conditions of the Younger Dryas. The Early and Middle Mesolithic hunter-gatherers from Kerkhove on the other hand lived in the temperate and forested environments of the subsequent Early Holocene period. The aim of this work is more precisely to gain a better understanding of how the practice of flintknapping evolve...

Millet and What Else?
The Wider Context of the Adoption of Millet Cultivation in Europe
2022 || Paperback || Wiebke Kirleis e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
Broomcorn/common/proso millet (Panicum miliaceum) is a cereal crop that originated in East Asia and was transferred westward to Europe, where it was introduced in the mid-2nd millennium BCE, at the height of the Bronze Age. Archaeobotanists from the Collaborative Research Centre 1266, supported by many colleagues, conducted a large-scale programme of radiocarbon dating of millet grains from prehistoric Europe. They discovered that the spread of this crop on the continent happened quickly, ext...
