2018 || Paperback || Liana Ivette Jiménez Osorio e.a. || Leiden University Press
El trabajo que aquí se presenta es una propuesta que replantea el vínculo cultural entre presente y pasado en la práctica arqueológica de la Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca, México.

Fieldwork in Sumba and Nagaland set up a frame to answer questions such as: Who is buried in the megalithic tombs and what kind of commemoration is connected to megalithic monuments? How are socioeconomic characteristics of the associated...

Islands of Salt
Historical Archaeology of Seafarers and Things in the Venezuelan Caribbean, 1624–1880
2019 || Paperback || Konrad Antczak || Sidestone Press Academics
The early-modern Venezuelan Caribbean did not lure seafarers with the saccharine delights of cane sugar but with the preserving qualities of solar sea salt. In this book, the historical archaeological study of this salty commodity offers a unique entryway into the hitherto unknown maritime mobilities and daily lives of the seafarers who camped at the saltpans of Venezuelan islands from the seventeenth to the late nineteenth centuries, cultivating and harvesting the white crystal of the sea.

De mensen achter de mummieportretten
2023 || Paperback || Ben van den Bercken || Uitgeverij WBOOKS
Prachtige portretten van vooral jonge mensen, op hun mooist afgebeeld. Ze kijken je recht aan met grote donkere ogen en zijn vaak zo realistisch dat ze lijken te leven. Geen wonder dat mummieportretten zo tot de verbeelding spreken, al sinds ze omstreeks 1900 in grotere aantallen werden ontdekt. Wie waren deze mooie mensen? En wie waren de vaklieden die de portretten zo knap op houten paneeltjes schilderden? Hoe werkten ze en wie waren hun opdrachtgevers?
Mummieportretten worden ook wel Fajoe...

Bijdragen in de studie van de metaaltijden
2024 || Paperback || Pepijn van de Geer e.a. || Sidestone Press
Normaal gesproken vormt deze bundel de neerslag van de laatste metaaltijdendag. Op 20 oktober 2023 was de metaaltijdendag te gast in Tiel, en werden de resultaten van het grootste onderzoek Tiel-Medel gepresenteerd. De onderzoekers hadden begrijpelijk wel genoeg geschreven over Tiel, en in deze bundel zijn dan ook geen bijdragen over Tiel te vinden. Wat wel te vinden is, is een breed scala aan bijdragen over objecten en nederzettingen, van speerpunten tot spiegels, en van compacte dorpen tot ...
