Household goods in the European Medieval and Early Modern Countryside
2023 || Hardcover || Catarina Tente e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
Although household goods are a well-establish topic in Medieval and Early Modern archaeology, more recent research is overcoming simple typological and technological aspects and pointing to broader approaches, which relates to the understanding of goods’ production, consumption strategies, other economic activities and structures of social organization.

Separation, hybridisation, and networks
Globular Amphora sedentary pastoralists ca. 3200-2700 BCE
2023 || Hardcover || Johannes Müller || Sidestone Press Academics

From 3200/3100 BCE, the Globular Amphora phenomenon (GA) was the trailblazer in Eastern and Central Europe. Due to a focus on pastoral subsistence, in comparison to more agrarian economic systems, new ritual practices formed in light of a more flexible form of ...

Dies ist unter anderem auf die in der westlichen Welt vorherrschende Idealvorstellung von Totenruhe und der Deponierung eines Körpers an einem, oft separat dafür vorgesehenen Ort zurückzuführen.
In der letzten Zeit gerieten jedoch Depon...
