Insights into Social Inequality

A Quantitative Study of Neolithic to Early Medieval Societies in Southwest Germany

2020 || Hardcover || Ralph Grossmann || Sidestone Press Academics

Furthermore, inequalities based on bio-anthropological and non-bio-anthropological causes are almost universal. Accordingly, inequality was also inherent in past societies and archaeologists have continually examined and interpreted social inequalities in sources such as burial grounds.

Detecting and explaining technological innovation in prehistory

2020 || Hardcover || Michela Spataro e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

Prehistoric societies were never static, but the tempo of innovation occasionally increased to the point that we can refer to transformation taking place. Prehistorians must therefore identify factors promoting or hindering innov...

A Case of Reciprocal Influence

2020 || Paperback || Annette Haug e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

This book examines the mutual influence of architecture and human action during a key period of history: the Hellenistic age. During this era, the profound transformations in the Mediterranean's archaeological and historical record are detectable, pointing to a conscious intertwining of the physical (landscape, architecture, bodies) and social (practice) components of built space.

Compiling the outcomes of a conference held in Kiel in 2018, the volume assembles contributions focusing on Hellen...
