Flintknapping from the Lateglacial to the Early Holocene
The Belgian Scheldt valley sites of Ruien and Kerkhove

Labouring with large stones
A study into the investment and impact of construction projects on Mycenaean communities in Late Bronze Age Greece
2021 || Hardcover || Yannick Boswinkel || Sidestone Press Dissertations
This book explores the cost, expressed in labour, of constructing fortifications during the Late Bronze Age in Greece (ca. 1600 – 1050 BCE). The underlying question for this study is whether the cost of large scale constructions, built with large, unwieldy blocks, may have overstretched the (economic) capabilities of communities, leading to their collapse.
In order to determine the labour costs, the building process is deconstructed and for each sub-process, the costs are determined. The co...

Navigating with White-Faced Capuchin Monkeys
Primate Behavioral Ecology and Spatial Cognition in a Mesoamerican Rainforest
2023 || Hardcover || Bernardo Urbani || Sidestone Press Dissertations
This monograph examines a set of questions concerning human and nonhuman primate cognition, spatial memory, foraging behavior, and the ability of monkeys to form mental maps of the location and distribution of feeding and resting sites.
Two primary forms of spatial memory have been hypothesized for primates. First, it has been suggested that primates might represent spatial memory in the form of a coordinate-based (geometric) map in which points in the landscape are stored as true coordinates...

Tying the threads of Eurasia
2017 || Hardcover || Toby Wilkinson || Sidestone Press Dissertations
The famous 'Silk Roads' have long evoked a romantic picture of travel through colourful civilizations that connected the western and eastern poles of Eurasia, facilitating the exchange of exotic luxury goods, peoples, pathogens and ideas. But how far back can we trace such interaction? Increasing evidence suggests considerable time-depth for Trans-Eurasian exchange, with the expanding urban networks of the Bronze Age at times anticipating later caravan routes. Tying the Threads of Eurasia app...
