How’s life?
living conditions in Europe during the 2nd and 1st millennia BCE
2019 || Hardcover || Nicole Taylor e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

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 ...

Hellenistic Architecture and Human Action
A Case of Reciprocal Influence
2020 || Hardcover || Annette Haug e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
This book examines the mutual influence of architecture and human action during a key period of history: the Hellenistic age. During this era, the profound transformations in the Mediterranean's archaeological and historical record are detectable, pointing to a conscious intertwining of the physical (landscape, architecture, bodies) and social (practice) components of built space.
Compiling the outcomes of a conference held in Kiel in 2018, the volume assembles contributions focusing on Hellen...

Bones at a crossroads
Integrating Worked Bone Research with Archaeometry and Social Zooarchaeology
2021 || Paperback || Markus Wild e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
Bone tool studies are at a crossroads. A current path is to go beyond the concatenation of methods or concepts borrowed from other disciplines and aim instead at a truly integrated approach that is more in line with the objectives of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research.
The papers in this volume follow this direction by adopting various forms of dialogue and integration between old and new methods and approaches, including technological analysis, usewear analysis, typology, zooa...

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...

Settling Waterscapes in Europe
The Archaeology of Neolithic & Bronze Age Pile-Dwellings
2022 || Paperback || Albert Hafner e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
Pile dwellings have been explored over a vast region for a number of decades now. This has led to the development of different ways, methods, and even schools of under-water and peat-bog excavation practices and data analysis techniques under the influence of different research traditions in individual countries. On the one hand, these and other factors can limit our understanding of the past, whilst on the other hand they can also open up further avenues of interpretation.
By collecting the ...

Separation, hybridisation, and networks
Globular Amphora sedentary pastoralists ca. 3200-2700 BCE
2023 || Hardcover || Johannes Müller || Sidestone Press Academics
Around 3000 BCE, a turning point occurred in Europe: Long-existing regional societies entered into a process of transformation. The result is a world in which new global communication networks brought different regions closer together. 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 ...

Containers of Change
Ancient Container Technologies from Eastern to Western Asia
2023 || Paperback || 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,...

Mensch – Körper – Tod
Der Umgang mit menschlichen Überresten im Neolithikum Mitteleuropas
2023 || Hardcover || Nadia Balkowski e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics
Das europäische Neolithikum zeichnet sich durch eine Vielzahl von Umgangsweisen mit menschlichen Körpern von Toten aus. Der archäologische Diskurs zu Mensch, Körper und Tod stützte sich für das Neolithikum traditionell jedoch auf Körperbestattungen. 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...
Epistemology, Economics, and Ethics
A Practical Philosophy of Prehistoric Archaeology
2023 || Hardcover || Konrad Ott || Sidestone Press Academics
This book is intended to be a groundwork of how to theorise prehistory and archaeology and how to make connectivities between the past and the present. It is divided into four parts. The first part is epistemological. It explains why there must be theoretical investments if past ways of human life are to be understood and explained. This insight is specified to a ladder-model (sensu Hawkes) with conceptual scaffoldings on each step. Stepwise, sets of concepts are introduced. This constitutes ...
