This book offers a comprehensive study of the Younger Neolithic period ([YN], c. 2850 - 2250 BC) of Schleswig-Holstein (SH). Apart from presenting all currently known artefacts and contexts of that period in detail, a particular focus was placed on the examination of YN battle axes.

The goal of this edited volume is to present case studies that integrate the evidence from human remains with the broader cultural and historical context through the utilization of social theory to provide a framework for interpretation. This volume highlights case studies of massacres across time and space that stress innovative theoretical models that help make sense of this unique form of violence. The primary focus will be on how massacres are used as a strategy of violence across time and cultural/geopolitical landscapes.

L'esplorazione sistematica del sito di Roccagloriosa intrapresa nel 1976 si poneva corne obbiettivo fondamentale lo studio della cinta fortificata e la effettuazione di saggi di scavo che permettessero di determinare la cronologia e la consistenza dei nuclei abitativi sia all'esterno che all'interno del muro di fortificazione. I dati ceramici e l'evidenza strutturale ben presto confermarono l'esistenza di un esteso agglomerato, in parte fortificato ed organizzato in vari nuclei abitativi, inquadrabile nel corso del IV secolo a.C. Inoltre, la scoperta di un'area di necropoli “monumentale” in località La Scala, di cui la fascia superiore è stata esplorata “a tappeto” nella campagna del 1978, documentandone la pianta e la varietà dei tipi di sepolture, rimuoveva ogni dubbio circa l'appartenenza dell'insediamento ad una comunità lucana. A tale ricerca fu pure affiancata l'esplorazione sistematica del territorio circostante mediante ricognizione di superficie con lo scopo preciso di ricostruire il “paesaggio agrario” dell'area circostante il sito agglomerato. Dopo uno studio topografico delle aree abitative poste immediatamente a ridosso della cresta dei Capitenali, effettuato nelle campagne 1982 e 1983, le operazioni di scavo sono State concentrate sul c.d. pianoro centrale, dove i primi saggi di scavo effettuati nel 1982 segnalavano l'esistenza di un nucleo abitativo includente edifici di notevole consistenza ed in ottimo stato di conservazione. Gli aspetti salienti del complesso di edifici sul pianoro centrale sono atti ad illustrare in dettaglio l'organizzazione ed il livello di strutturazione di un insediamento lucano in un momento cruciale del suo sviluppo. A parte i dati fondamentali, e sostanzialmente nuovi, sulle strutture di abitazione e materiali associati, la metodologia di scavo che ha posto fra gli obbiettivi fondamentali anche la raccolta dei dati relativi alle attività economiche primarie, ha permesso di studiare aspetti della cultura materiale solo…

Tell Tweini or ancient Gibala is located in the Syrian coastal plain and represents the southernmost harbour of the Ugaritic Kingdom in the Late Bronze Age. As one of the few sites under excavation in the Northern Levant with a full archaeological sequence spanning the Early Bronze Age IV (ca. 2400 BCE) up to the Iron Age III period (ca. 500 BCE), Tell Tweini (Field A) is a key site for the study of the developments in the Northern Levant especially where the Bronze to Iron Age transition is concerned. The yearly missions at Tell Tweini conducted by a Belgian-Syrian team have halted since 2011; however, the continuous research of the prodigious amount of data available has not. Over the past years the research team headed by Joachim Bretschneider (University Ghent) has focused on the study of particular groups of artefacts, ecofacts and landscape, resulting in new and exciting insights on various aspects of the settlement of Tell Tweini presented in this book.

"This volume is one of the most important works on ancient Athens in the last fifty years. The focus is on the early city, from the end of the Bronze Age--ca. 1200 BCE--to the Archaic period, when Athens became the largest city of the Classical period, only to be destroyed by the Persians in 480/479 BCE. From a systematic study of all the excavation reports and surveys in central Athens, the author has synthesized a detailed diachronic overview of the city from the Submycenaean period through the Archaic. It is a treasure trove of information for archaeologists who work in this period. Of great value as well are the detailed maps included, which present features of ancient settlements and cemeteries, the repositories of the human physical record. Over eighty additional large-scale, interactive maps are available online to complement the book."--

"A Taste for Green addresses latest research into the acquisition of jade, turquoise or variscite, all of which share a characteristic greenish colour and an engaging appearance once they are polished in the shape of axes or assorted adornments. Papers explore how, in addition to constituting economic transactions, the transfers of these materials were also statements of social liaisons, personal capacities, and relation to places or to unseen forces. The volume centres on two study areas, Western Europe and México/Southwest US, which are far apart not just in geographical terms but also with regard to their chronology and socioeconomic features. While some North and Mesoamerican groups range from relatively complex farming societies up to state-like organisations during the 1st and 2nd millennia AD, the European counterparts are comparatively simpler polities spanning the 5th-3rd millennia BC. By contrasting the archaeological evidence from diverse areas we may gain insights into the role that production/movement of these green stones played in their respective political and ritual economies"--

Transformations of Identity and Society in Anglo-Saxon Essex: A Case Study of an Early Medieval North Atlantic Community presents the results of a comprehensive archaeological study of early medieval Essex (c.AD 400-1066). This region provides an important case study for examining coastal societies of north-western Europe. Drawing on a wealth of new data, the author demonstrates the profound influence of maritime contacts on changing expressions of cultural affiliation. It is argued that this Continental orientation reflects Essex's longterm engagement with the emergent, dynamic North Sea network. The wide chronological focus and inclusive dataset enables long-term socio-economic continuity and transformation to be revealed. These include major new insights into the construction of group identity in Essex between the 5th and 11th centuries and the identification of several previously unknown sites of exchange. The presentation also includes the first full archaeological study of Essex under 'Viking' rule.
