Der linienbandkeramische Fundplatz Lietzow 10 im Havelland, Brandenburg
2024 || Paperback || Wiebke Kirleis e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
Bei einer Ausgrabung im havelländischen Lietzow in Brandenburg wurden jungsteinzeitliche Siedlungsbefunde entdeckt. Sie gehören zu zwei Hofstellen der jüngeren Linienbandkeramik, die um 5100-5000 v. u. Z. datiert. Die in der äußersten Peripherie des damaligen bäuerlichen Siedlungsgebiets gelegene Siedlung Lietzow 10 bestand über ungefähr zwei Generationen. Die von dichtem Eichen-Kiefernwald umgebene Siedlung lag wie eine kleine Insel auf einer Grundmoränenplatte, die mit relativ fruc...

Palaeolithic Italy
Advanced studies on early human adaptations in the Apennine peninsula
2018 || Hardcover || 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...

Archaeology in the Žitava valley I
The LBK and Želiezovce settlement site of Vráble
2021 || Hardcover || Martin Furholt e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
The early Neolithic site of Vráble (5250-4950 cal BCE) is among the largest LBK settlement agglomerations in Central Europe, and exceptional within the southwest Slovakian area. Geophysical surveys revealed more than 300 houses, grouped into three contemporary neighbourhoods, one of which is delineated by a complex ditched enclosure system. This enclosure is associated with a large number of human remains, which reveal new patterns of burial and deposition practices. This volume presents the...

Seasonal Settlement in the Medieval and Early Modern Countryside
2021 || Hardcover || Piers Dixon e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
For the first time seasonality is placed at the centre of the study of rural 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 ...

Millet and What Else?
The Wider Context of the Adoption of Millet Cultivation in Europe
2022 || Hardcover || 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...

Ancient texts in modern contexts
2023 || Paperback || Neil Brodie e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
Since the eighteenth century, many if not most ancient and medieval manuscripts or other text-bearing or associated objects have been procured through imperial expropriation or through the antiquities market with little or no evidence of findspot or place of original deposition and with no assurance of legal provenance or authenticity. The consequences of these questionable acquisition practices for scholarship and for our understanding of the past are the focus of much enquiry.

However, popular devotion and belief in a rural environment can include practices that are out with those of the official religion.Some of these practices discussed in this book can ...
