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...
Before Temples
Rectangular structures of the Low Countries and their place in the Iron Age belief system
2023 || Hardcover || Roosje de Leeuwe || Sidestone Press Dissertations
Before the introduction of Roman temples in the Low Countries, there used to be ‘open air cult places’ in the Iron Age. That is at least the assumption based on descriptions given by classical writers and several structures typified as sanctuaries that were excavated in France.
Several of these French sanctuaries portray long usage, modifications, disarticulated human remains, and depositions of animal bones and Iron Age weaponry. However, the regularly encountered rectangular structures...
The Handle Core Concept
Lithic Technology and Knowledge Transmission in Mesolithic Northern Europe
2024 || Hardcover || 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...

Palma Fragmenting the Chieftain
2017 || Hardcover || Sasja van der Vaart-Verschoof || Sidestone Press Dissertations
There is a cluster of Early Iron Age (800-500 BC) elite burials in the Low Countries in which bronze vessels, weaponry, horse-gear and wagons were interred as grave goods. Mostly imports from Central Europe, these objects are found brought together in varying configurations in cremation burials generally known as chieftains' graves or princely burials. In terms of grave goods they resemble the Fürstengräber of the Hallstatt Culture of Central Europe, with famous Dutch and Belgian examples b...
Appendices: Persistent traditions
a long-term perspective on communities in the process of neolithisation in the lower rhine area (5500-2500 cal bc)
2020 || Hardcover || Luc Amkreutz || Sidestone Press Dissertations
The adoption of agriculture is one of the major developments in human history. Archaeological studies have demonstrated that the trajectories of Neolithisation in Northwest Europe were diverse. This book presents a study into the archaeology of the communities involved in the process of Neolithisation in the Lower Rhine Area (5500-2500 cal BC). It elucidates the role played by the indigenous communities in relation to their environmental context and in view of the changes that becoming Neolit...

Five New Kingdom Tombs at Saqqara
2024 || Hardcover || 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...

Vom Kollektiv zum Individuum
Transformationsprozesse am Übergang vom 4. zum 3. Jahrtausend v. Chr. in der Deutschen Mittelgebirgszone
2022 || Hardcover || Clara Drummer || Sidestone Press Academics
Dieses Buch behandelt die Frage, ob und wie sich soziale Identitäten in der deutschen Mittelgebirgszone zum Ende des 3. Jahrtausends v. Chr. veränderten. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass die Veränderungen der Bestattungssitten im Übergang vom Spät- zum Endneolithikum von Migrationsprozessen aus der nordpontischen Steppenlandschaft beeinflusst wurden.
Um die Frage der Auswirkungen dieser Migrationsprozesse auf den Wandel der sozialen Identitäten und Bestattungssitten zu beantworten, werde...

Hispaniola - Hell or Home?
Decolonizing Grand Narratives about Intercultural Interactions at Concepción de la Vega (1494-1564)
2020 || Hardcover || Pauline Kulstad-González || Sidestone Press Dissertations
Grand Narratives of colonization, especially ones related to the Spanish and Portuguese Americas, began circulating soon after 1492. The danger of these Grand Narratives is that they are often mistaken as reality and eclipse all other possible narrations pertaining to a particular place and/or time. As more Caribbean territories become independent, the questioning of Grand Narratives has permeated many disciplines in the region, and archaeology is no exception.
This work attempts to examine th...

Goud van de Daciërs
Rijk van goud en zilver
2024 || Hardcover || * || Waanders Uitgevers
Dacië – het oude Roemenië – staat in de klassieke oudheid al bekend als een ‘rijk van goud en zilver’. De talloze archeologische schatten die hier in de twintigste eeuw gevonden zijn, laten zien dat de geruchten over de Dacische rijkdom niet ongegrond waren. Maar de Daciërs waren meer dan alleen liefhebbers van goud en zilver: ze bouwden imposante heuvelforten, bedreven handel met verre koninkrijken, en ze zetten het imposante landschap van het Karpatengebergte naar hun eigen hand....
