Stories of Waste and Value
Roots of a Circular Economy
2024 || Paperback || Jens Schneeweiß || Sidestone Press
Growing mountains of waste, decreasing resources and global environmental pollution confront us today with challenges of unprecedented dimensions. Against this background, interest in sustainable and resource-saving concepts is increasing; it is not uncommon to fall back on (supposedly) traditional approaches from times past. But what do we really know about the roots of the circular economy? What turns everyday objects into worthless rubbish, what turns others into highly sought-after object...

Tracing Technical Individuality in Production Processes
2024 || Hardcover || Moiken Hinrichs || Sidestone Press Dissertations
The aim of the thesis was to provide a framework for the identification and analysis of individual craftspeople in bifacial flint production. Flint production flakes from replications of South Scandinavian Late Neolithic daggers and Early Bronze Age sickles were the focus of the study, in contrast to research so far, mostly relying on finished and often exceptional pieces.
To identify technical traditions within technological systems and/or personal approaches to production, it is necessary t...

Five New Kingdom Tombs at Saqqara
2024 || Paperback || Maarten Raven || Sidestone Press
The five tombs dealt with in this book were explored between 2009 and 2017 by the Leiden-Turin Expedition in the New Kingdom necropolis of Saqqara. All of them can be described as minor tombs, constructed wherever some space was still available in the cemetery between the major monuments of 18th Dynasty date. Some of them were clearly built against the exterior walls of these previous monuments, whereas their unusual plans show how the builders had to adapt to the cramped conditions in the ce...
