Burial mounds are ubiquitous throughout North-Western Europe. In some regions dense concentrations of monuments form peculiar configu-rations such as long alignments while in others they are spread out ex-tensively, dotting vast areas with hundreds of mounds. These vast barrow landscapes came about through thousands of years of additions by several successive prehistoric and historic communities. This book is about how these landscapes developed and came about.

Almost everyone in Africa knows a mobile phone, the most widespread communication technology on the continent. That technology started as a voice-only tool before integrating other functions such as messaging, sound and image recording and many others. This book is about ways in which some of those new functions are giving a new face to the field and practice of journalism.

De bewoningsgeschiedenis van de Maaskant van 3000 v. tot 1500 n. Chr. vormt het onderwerp van deze bundel. In achtentwintig artikelen worden de resultaten van hoofdzakelijk recente opgravingen, veldver-kenningen, booronderzoeken en amateurvondsten ontsloten en geana-lyseerd. Een dergelijk regiogericht onderzoek vormt tegenwoordig een zeldzaamheid terwijl het noodzakelijk is voor een kwalitatief inzicht in het verleden.

How people produced or acquired their food in the past is one of the main questions in archaeology. The papers in this volume offer studies on subsistence and surplus production with a wide geographical perspective. The research areas vary considerably, ranging from the American Mid-South to Turkey. The range in time periods is just as wide, from c. 7000 BC to the 16th century AD.

The Schipluiden site is a unique document for a crucial phase in the neolithisation process of the Lower Rhine Area. The rescue excavation profited from available funding for a full recovery of the site by a large multidisciplinary team. The waterlogged condition of the site meant a wealth of preserved organic remains: spectacular wooden equipment, like paddles and axe hafts and even some fragments of woven fabric. Bones of mammals, birds and fish, molluscs, diatoms and insects, pollen and botanical macroremains inform us in detail on the Neolithic landscape and subsistence.

English | 15 illus. (bw) | 100 illus. (fc)

Burial mounds are amongst the most important of Europe’s prehistoric monuments. In this book a detailed vegetation history of the landscape around burial mounds is presented. It is argued in this book that bar-rows were built on existing heaths, which had been and continued to be maintained for many generations by so-called heath communities. These heaths, therefore, can be considered as ‘ancestral heaths’.

Crop Protection in Medieval AgricultureStudies in pre-modern organic agriculture

Mediterranean and West European pre-modern agriculture (agriculture before 1600) was by necessity ‘organic agriculture’. Crop protection is part and parcel of this agriculture, with weed control in the forefront. Three medieval agronomists are at the heart of this book, but historical developments in crop protection from early Punic, Greek, and Roman authors to the first modern author are outlined.

Sidestone Press | Format: 182x257mm

Paperback | 162 pp. | Language: English |

Salt was a commodity of great importance in the ancient past, just as it is today. Its roles in promoting human health and in making food more palatable are well-known; in peasant societies it also plays a very impor-tant role in the preservation of foodstuffs and in a range of industries. This book charts the history of research on archaeological salt and traces the story of its production in Europe from earliest times down to the Iron Age.

The Connected CaribbeanA socio-material network approach to patterns of homogeneity and diversity in the pre-colonial period

Imprint: Sidestone Press Dissertations |

Format: 182x257mm Paperback | 328 pp. |

Language: English | 33 illus. (bw) | 9 illus. (fc)

The modern-day Caribbean is a stunningly diverse but also intricately in-terconnected geo-cultural region, resulting partly from the islands’ shared colonial histories and an increasingly globalizing economy. Perhaps more importantly, before the encounter between the New and Old World took place, the indigenous societies and cultures of the pre-colonial Caribbean were already united in diversity. This work seeks to study the patterns of this pre-colonial homogeneity and diversity and uncover some of their underlying processes and dynamics.

He travelled via Europe to New York and Washington and then via Panama on to the goldfields in California.

Tying the Threads of EurasiaTrans-regional Routes and Material Flows in Transcaucasia, eastern Anatolia and western Central Asia, c.3000-1500BC

Imprint: Sidestone Press Dissertations |

Format: 210x280mm Paperback | ca. 470 pp. |

Language: English | ca. 200 illus. (fc)

The famous ‘Silk Roads’ have long evoked a romantic picture of travel through colourful civilizations that connected the western and eastern poles of Eurasia, facilitating the exchange of exotic luxury goods, peo-ples, pathogens and ideas. But how far back can we trace such inter-action? Increasing evidence suggests considerable time-depth for Trans-Eurasian exchange, with the expanding urban networks of the Bronze Age at times anticipating later caravan routes.

The modern-day Caribbean is a stunningly diverse but also intricately in-terconnected geo-cultural region, resulting partly from the islands’ shared colonial histories and an increasingly globalizing economy. Perhaps more importantly, before the encounter between the New and Old World took place, the indigenous societies and cultures of the pre-colonial Caribbean were already united in diversity. This work seeks to study the patterns of this pre-colonial homogeneity and diversity and uncover some of their underlying processes and dynamics.

The famous ‘Silk Roads’ have long evoked a romantic picture of travel through colourful civilizations that connected the western and eastern poles of Eurasia, facilitating the exchange of exotic luxury goods, peo-ples, pathogens and ideas. But how far back can we trace such inter-action? Increasing evidence suggests considerable time-depth for Trans-Eurasian exchange, with the expanding urban networks of the Bronze Age at times anticipating later caravan routes.

The famous ‘Silk Roads’ have long evoked a romantic picture of travel through colourful civilizations that connected the western and eastern poles of Eurasia, facilitating the exchange of exotic luxury goods, peo-ples, pathogens and ideas. But how far back can we trace such inter-action? Increasing evidence suggests considerable time-depth for Trans-Eurasian exchange, with the expanding urban networks of the Bronze Age at times anticipating later caravan routes.

Burial mounds are ubiquitous throughout North-Western Europe. In some regions dense concentrations of monuments form peculiar configu-rations such as long alignments while in others they are spread out ex-tensively, dotting vast areas with hundreds of mounds. These vast barrow landscapes came about through thousands of years of additions by several successive prehistoric and historic communities. This book is about how these landscapes developed and came about.

Almost everyone in Africa knows a mobile phone, the most widespread communication technology on the continent. That technology started as a voice-only tool before integrating other functions such as messaging, sound and image recording and many others. This book is about ways in which some of those new functions are giving a new face to the field and practice of journalism.

How people produced or acquired their food in the past is one of the main questions in archaeology. The papers in this volume offer studies on subsistence and surplus production with a wide geographical perspective. The research areas vary considerably, ranging from the American Mid-South to Turkey. The range in time periods is just as wide, from c. 7000 BC to the 16th century AD.

The book “Similar but Different. Bell Beakers in Europe” deals with a cultural phenomenon, known as the Bell Beaker culture, that during the 3rd millennium BC. was present throughout Western and Central Europe.

The Schipluiden site is a unique document for a crucial phase in the neolithisation process of the Lower Rhine Area. The rescue excavation profited from available funding for a full recovery of the site by a large multidisciplinary team. The waterlogged condition of the site meant a wealth of preserved organic remains: spectacular wooden equipment, like paddles and axe hafts and even some fragments of woven fabric. Bones of mammals, birds and fish, molluscs, diatoms and insects, pollen and botanical macroremains inform us in detail on the Neolithic landscape and subsistence.

Burial mounds are amongst the most important of Europe’s prehistoric monuments. In this book a detailed vegetation history of the landscape around burial mounds is presented. It is argued in this book that bar-rows were built on existing heaths, which had been and continued to be maintained for many generations by so-called heath communities. These heaths, therefore, can be considered as ‘ancestral heaths’.

Mediterranean and West European pre-modern agriculture (agriculture before 1600) was by necessity ‘organic agriculture’. Crop protection is part and parcel of this agriculture, with weed control in the forefront. Three medieval agronomists are at the heart of this book, but historical developments in crop protection from early Punic, Greek, and Roman authors to the first modern author are outlined.

Burial mounds are amongst the most important of Europe’s prehistoric monuments. In this book a detailed vegetation history of the landscape around burial mounds is presented. It is argued in this book that bar-rows were built on existing heaths, which had been and continued to be maintained for many generations by so-called heath communities. These heaths, therefore, can be considered as ‘ancestral heaths’.

Mediterranean and West European pre-modern agriculture (agriculture before 1600) was by necessity ‘organic agriculture’. Crop protection is part and parcel of this agriculture, with weed control in the forefront. Three medieval agronomists are at the heart of this book, but historical developments in crop protection from early Punic, Greek, and Roman authors to the first modern author are outlined.
