Labouring with large stones
A study into the investment and impact of construction projects on Mycenaean communities in Late Bronze Age Greece
2021 || Paperback || 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...
The Handle Core Concept
Lithic Technology and Knowledge Transmission in Mesolithic Northern Europe
2024 || Paperback || Sandra Söderlind || Sidestone Press Dissertations
This work deals with topics related to mobility, contacts and transmission of knowledge. The study of these topics regarding the past can promote an understanding of the social implications of migration, communication and learning today through long-term perspectives of change. This volume focuses on these topics in the Mesolithic by analysing a specialised lithic concept known previously from Scandinavia and Northern Germany. The implementation of the Handle Core Pressure Concept (HCPC) is b...

Intergenerational transmission of criminal and violent behaviour / druk 1
2012 || Paperback || Sytske Besemer || Sidestone Press Dissertations
'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree', 'Like father like son', 'Chip off the old block'. All these idioms seem to suggest that offspring resemble their parents and this also applies to criminal behaviour. This dissertation investigates mechanisms that might explain why children with criminal parents have a higher risk of committing crime. Several explanations for this intergenerational transmission have been contrasted, such as social learning (imitation of behaviour), official bias agai...

Seascape Corridors
2018 || Hardcover || Emma Slayton || Sidestone Press Dissertations
There is little evidence of the routes connecting Amerindian communities in the Caribbean prior to and just after 1492. Uncovering possible canoe routes between these communities can help to explain the structure, capabilities, and limitations of the physical links in their social and material networks. This book evaluates how routes connecting islands indicate the structure of past inter-island networks, by using computer modeling.Computer modeling and least-cost pathway analysis is a popula...

Embracing Bell Beaker
Adopting new ideas and objects across Europe during the later 3rd millennium
2019 || Hardcover || Jos Kleijne || Sidestone Press Dissertations
This book deals with the question how communities across Europe during the later 3rd millennium BC adopt and transform the Bell Beaker phenomenon differently. By looking at these processes of change from the perspective of settlements and settlement material culture, an interpretation is given to the development of this phenomenon that is alternative to the currently prevailing migration models.
Instead, the author uses social theories on the spread of innovations, the development and functio...

Vernetzte Bilder
Münzen als Kommunikationsmittel im Kontext der Dynamik der Macht im westlichen Mittelmeerraum, ca. 500-100 v. Chr.
2021 || Hardcover || Ulrike Wolf || Sidestone Press Dissertations
Welche Bedeutung griechische Münzbilder in der Antike hatten, ist in der Forschung vielfach hinterfragt und äußerst divergent beantwortet worden. Selten sind Münzen und deren Bildmotive zeitlich und regional übergreifend untersucht worden, denn meist stehen ikonografische Betrachtungen von einzelnen Münztypen innerhalb eines eng umrissenen Zeitraums im Vordergrund.
Ulrike Wolf legt mit ihrer Dissertationsschrift „Vernetzte Bilder“ eine Arbeit vor, bei der die Diskussion der Rolle vo...

A completely normal practice
The emergence of selective metalwork deposition in Denmark, north-west Germany, and the Netherlands between 2350-1500 BC
2021 || Hardcover || Marieke Visser || Sidestone Press Dissertations
In Bronze Age Europe, an enormous amount of metalwork was buried in the ground and never retrieved. Patterns in the archaeological finds show that this was a deliberate practice: people systematically deposited valuable metal objects in specific places in the landscape, even in non-metalliferous regions. Although this practice seems strange and puzzling from our modern perspective, these patterns demonstrate that it was not simply a matter of irrational human behaviour. Instead, there were su...
