Seasonal Settlement in the Medieval and Early Modern Countryside
2021 || Hardcover || Piers Dixon e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

The particular studies are introduced by an opening essay which draws wider conclusions about ...

Labouring with large stones
A study into the investment and impact of construction projects on Mycenaean communities in Late Bronze Age Greece
2021 || Hardcover || Yannick Boswinkel || Sidestone Press Dissertations
This book explores the cost, expressed in labour, of constructing fortifications during the Late Bronze Age in Greece (ca. 1600 – 1050 BCE). The underlying question for this study is whether the cost of large scale constructions, built with large, unwieldy blocks, may have overstretched the (economic) capabilities of communities, leading to their collapse.
In order to determine the labour costs, the building process is deconstructed and for each sub-process, the costs are determined. The co...

Oermensen in de Lage Landen
Hoe de mens naar Nederland en België kwam
2022 || Hardcover || Gerrit Dusseldorp e.a. || Koninklijke Van Gorcum
Nederland ligt in de periferie van het verhaal van menswording. De evolutie van onze familie vindt lang exclusief in Afrika plaats. En, als Europa eenmaal bewoond wordt door mensachtigen, ligt het zwaartepunt ten zuiden van onze streken. Toch heeft ons land een aantal interessante vindplaatsen en vondsten opgeleverd. Ook in Nederland hebben de zogenaamde ‘oermensen’ rondgelopen.
Toegankelijk geschreven voor een breed publiek put het boek uit nieuwste theorieën en het geheel is rijk geïl...

Carved stones and Christianisation
Place, movement and memory in early medieval north-western Europe
2021 || Hardcover || Anouk Busset || Sidestone Press Dissertations

Het leven van boeren die Hunebedden bouwden
Een collectieve biografie
2021 || Hardcover || Hein Klompmaker || Koninklijke Van Gorcum || met inkijkexemplaar
Tussen 5.000 en 10.000 jaar geleden vond de Neolithische landbouwrevolutie plaats en werd de jager-verzamelaar meer en meer boer die van een nomadisch bestaan overging naar een vaste nederzetting. Het zijn ‘vluchtige gestaltes’ waar we weinig van weten.
Zo’n ‘vluchtige gestalte’ is voor auteur Hein Klompmaker de groep boeren die meer dan 5000 jaar geleden besloten hunebedden te bouwen. De vraag of je deze groep boeren als het ware ‘tot leven zou kunnen wekken’ heeft hem niet me...

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...
