St. Eustatius
An Illustrated History
2025 || Hardcover || Ruud Stelten || Sidestone Press
St. Eustatius, a small island in the Lesser Antilles, has played an important role in Atlantic World history. Since its first permanent European settlement in 1636, the island changed hands 22 times between the Dutch, French, and English. As a result of the Dutch free trade policy, St. Eustatius became one of the Caribbean’s main transshipment centers in the eighteenth century. During the American War of Independence (1775-1783), large amounts of arms, ammunition, and gunpowder were shipped...

Nineveh
Hoofdstad van een wereldrijk
2024 || Paperback || Lucas Petit e.a. || Sidestone Press
Nineveh, de machtige hoofdstad van het Assyrische rijk, fascineerde klassieke en oosterse schrijvers, reizigers en geschiedkundigen sinds de verwoesting in 612 voor Christus. Zij schetsen een immense, dichtbevolkte stad met 90 kilometer lange stadsmuren, prachtige paleizen en kolossale standbeelden van goud. Sinds 1842 onderzoeken archeologen de ruïnes van Nineveh, die gelegen zijn aan de oostelijke oevers van de Tigris, vlakbij de moderne stad Mosul in Irak. De honderdduizenden objecten die...
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...

The Archaeology of the ‘Margins’
Studies on Ancient West Asia in Honour of Peter M.M.G. Akkermans
2024 || Paperback || Bleda Düring e.a. || Sidestone Press
This book is a tribute to the remarkable achievements of Peter M.M.G. Akkermans in the archaeology of West Asia. A focus on previously overlooked periods and regions has been the hallmark of his work. Instead of investigating the traditional key transitions and core regions that have been central to the archaeology of West Asia, Peter always aimed to shed light on the ‘in-between’ periods and regions, often dismissed as being ‘marginal’ (in his words ‘marginal to whom or what?’). ...

Cyprus and Ugarit
Connecting Material and Mercantile Worlds
2024 || Paperback || Bernard Knapp || Sidestone Press
