Nineveh
Hoofdstad van een wereldrijk
2024 || Paperback || Lucas Petit e.a. || Sidestone Press
Nineveh, de machtige hoofdstad van het Assyrische rijk, fascineerde klassieke en oosterse schrijvers, reizigers en geschiedkundigen sinds de verwoesting in 612 voor Christus. Zij schetsen een immense, dichtbevolkte stad met 90 kilometer lange stadsmuren, prachtige paleizen en kolossale standbeelden van goud. Sinds 1842 onderzoeken archeologen de ruïnes van Nineveh, die gelegen zijn aan de oostelijke oevers van de Tigris, vlakbij de moderne stad Mosul in Irak. De honderdduizenden objecten die...
The eve of destruction?
Local groups and large-scale networks during the late fourth and early third millennium BC in central Europe
2025 || Paperback || Daniela Hofmann e.a. || Sidestone Press
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...

Cyprus and Ugarit
Connecting Material and Mercantile Worlds
2024 || Paperback || Bernard Knapp || Sidestone Press
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....

Bronstijd
Vuur van verandering
2024 || Paperback || Luc Amkreutz e.a. || Sidestone Press
De bronstijd (2000-800 v.Chr.) is een sleutelperiode in de prehistorie van Nederland en Europa. De opkomst van een nieuw metaal – brons – leidt tot ingrijpende ontwikkelingen in de samenleving die tot de dag van vandaag doorklinken.
Een grootschalige migratie van oost naar west, aan het eind van de steentijd, markeert het begin van een periode van revolutionaire ontwikkeling op maatschappelijk, technologisch en cultureel vlak. Brons, een legering van koper en tin, vormt daarvan de motor. ...
Social Groups and Production in Mycenaean Economies
Papers from the Langford Conference, Florida State University, Tallahassee, 24-25 February 2023
2025 || Paperback || Daniel Pullen || Sidestone Press
The main goal of this volume is to look at social groups involved in economic activity other than members of the palace-based institutions and “elites” in Late Bronze Age Mycenaean Greek societies. The palaces and elites are the usual subject of studies of ancient economies, often from a top-down approach, but here we consider a fuller range of the members of a society, their organization, their institutions, and their contributions to the economies of those societies from bottom-up appro...

Five New Kingdom Tombs at Saqqara
2024 || Hardcover || Maarten Raven || Sidestone Press
The five tombs dealt with in this book were explored between 2009 and 2017 by the Leiden-Turin Expedition in the New Kingdom necropolis of Saqqara. All of them can be described as minor tombs, constructed wherever some space was still available in the cemetery between the major monuments of 18th Dynasty date. Some of them were clearly built against the exterior walls of these previous monuments, whereas their unusual plans show how the builders had to adapt to the cramped conditions in the ce...
