The early Neolithic of Northern Europe
New approaches to migration, movement and social connection
2025 || Paperback || Daniela Hofmann e.a. || Sidestone Press
In Britain, Ireland and Southern Scandinavia, the Early Neolithic is characterised by monumental constructions (e.g. causewayed enclosures, dolmens) and by specific traditions of depositional practice. Some aspects of these practices are similar in both regions, for example the shapes and use of monuments, their overall developmental sequences, and the traditions of deposition (kinds of objects and their treatment, locations chosen and so on). In spite of these similarities, however, there ha...
The eve of destruction?
Local groups and large-scale networks during the late fourth and early third millennium BC in central Europe
2025 || Paperback || Daniela Hofmann e.a. || Sidestone Press
This volume collects papers on the pre-Corded Ware horizon in central Europe and adjacent areas (i.e. from c. 3500 – 2800 BC). This phase is very patchily researched, partly also because certain kinds of evidence, notably domestic architecture and burials, are rare or absent in many regions. This has occasionally been interpreted as signs of a major crisis and population bottleneck, which in turn facilitated the migration of new populations from the steppe, bringing with them amongst others...
Social Groups and Production in Mycenaean Economies
Papers from the Langford Conference, Florida State University, Tallahassee, 24-25 February 2023
2025 || Paperback || Daniel Pullen || Sidestone Press
The main goal of this volume is to look at social groups involved in economic activity other than members of the palace-based institutions and “elites” in Late Bronze Age Mycenaean Greek societies. The palaces and elites are the usual subject of studies of ancient economies, often from a top-down approach, but here we consider a fuller range of the members of a society, their organization, their institutions, and their contributions to the economies of those societies from bottom-up appro...
Harnessing Horses from Prehistory to History
Approaches and Case Studies
2025 || Paperback || Katherine Kanne e.a. || Sidestone Press
The human past is unimaginable without the horse. From our ancestors hunting and painting horses in the Upper Palaeolithic, to the earliest riders, the rise of equestrian empires, and the critical role of horses in war, settler colonialism, and modern state formation, human history is undeniably equestrian. Because of the deep and varied entanglements between people and horses, the study of horses of the past is inherently, and increasingly, interdisciplinary. However, scholars often do not u...
The lost mummy of Djedhor
Reconstructing the burial of a Ptolemaic priest from Thebes
2025 || Paperback || Maarten Raven || Sidestone Press
In the rich archives of the Leiden Museum of Antiquities lies a fascinating manuscript dealing with the autopsy on an Ancient Egyptian mummy. This was performed in 1878 by the Museum’s curator Willem Pleyte. Thanks to Pleyte’s detailed procès-verbal, the mummy (which did not survive the dissection) can be reconstructed at least on paper. The name of the deceased has been inscribed on the mummy’s cartonnage, on some of the linen bandages, and on the Book of the Dead papyrus retrieved by...
Education VIA Culture
Exploring Cultural Heritage Applications in European Educational Contexts
2025 || Paperback || Konstantina Kalogirou e.a. || Sidestone Press
Heritage and Education are often cited together as two areas that could equally benefit from co-application and dialogue. This book includes some of the papers that were presented at the ‘Education VIA Culture’ conference, which was held online in December 2020. The chapters of this volume focus on how people can learn about heritage and engage with heritage through educational (formal or non-formal) processes.
In the VIA Culture understanding, the best way to create awareness about cultu...
