Ancient texts in modern contexts

2023 || Paperback || Neil Brodie e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

Since the eighteenth century, many if not most ancient and medieval manuscripts or other text-bearing or associated objects have been procured through imperial expropriation or through the antiquities market with little or no evidence of findspot or place of original deposition and with no assurance of legal provenance or authenticity.

Household goods in the European Medieval and Early Modern Countryside

2023 || Hardcover || Catarina Tente e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

Although household goods are a well-establish topic in Medieval and Early Modern archaeology, more recent research is overcoming simple typological and technological aspects and pointing to broader approaches, which relates to the understanding of goods’ production, consumption strategies, other economic activities and structures of social organization.

Separation, hybridisation, and networks

Globular Amphora sedentary pastoralists ca. 3200-2700 BCE

2023 || Hardcover || Johannes Müller || Sidestone Press Academics

Around 3000 BCE, a turning point occurred in Europe: Long-existing regional societies entered into a process of transformation. The result is a world in which new global communication networks brought different regions closer together. From 3200/3100 BCE, the Globular Amphora phenomenon (GA) was the trailblazer in Eastern and Central Europe. Due to a focus on pastoral subsistence, in comparison to more agrarian economic systems, new ritual practices formed in light of a more flexible form of ...

Containers of Change

Ancient Container Technologies from Eastern to Western Asia

2023 || Paperback || Olivier Nieuwenhuyse e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

Across Western Asia, the astonishing increase in the availability of durable ceramic containers in the seventh millennium BCE had significant societal repercussions – so much so that vital social, economic, and symbolic activities became dependent upon the availability of pottery containers. These early ceramic containers, however, established themselves alongside flourishing pre-existing container traditions, with vessels made in a wide range of materials including clay, bitumen, basketry,...

A Practical Philosophy of Prehistoric Archaeology

2023 || Hardcover || Konrad Ott || Sidestone Press Academics

The first part is epistemological. It explains why there must be theoretical investments if past ways of human life are to be understood and explained. This insight is specified to a ladder-model (sensu Hawkes) with conceptual scaffoldings on each step. Stepwise, sets of concepts are introduced. This constitutes ...
