Heart scarabs are inscribed with spell 30B from the Book of the Dead and are usually depicted with a beetle head, but a very small number of such amulets show the scarab with a human face or head. One of these extraordinary objects was found during recent excavations in Zawyet Sultan, Middle Egypt. Based on the analysis and discussion of this newly excavated object, this publication will shed new light on the context of human faced heart scarabs from a philological, archaeological and historico-cultural perspective. This is a German-language book.

Excavations at Chester. Roman land division and a probable villa in the hinterland of Deva reports on excavations carried out by Northern Archaeological Associates (NAA) at Saighton Camp - a former British Army training camp - located to the south of the Roman legionary fortress of Chester (Deva Victrix) which revealed important and extensive Roman period remains. Part of a high-status settlement of second- to fourth-century date, together with a regular field system laid out over more than 20 hectares, were encountered.

The excavated settlement appears to be an ancillary area to a much larger site, the centre of which lies to the south and is believed to be a villa. This is the closest such site to Chester, and villas are notably rare in the region. The field system was probably laid out by the legion at Deva as part of the prata legionis, agricultural lands they controlled around the fortress.

This book provides an overview of the archaeological sites and cultural assemblages in the world and presents an archaeological database that has been established through two large-scale research projects conducted between 2010 and 2022. The projects were Replacement of the Neanderthals by Modern Humans (2010–2015) and The Cultural History of PaleoAsia (2016–2022), both of which were carried out with the aid of the Japanese Government. They deal with multi-disciplinary studies of the demise of more archaic hominins and the survival of anatomically modern humans. Although the database is designated PaleoAsiaDB, which may imply a focus on Asia, it incorporates the dataset collected from Africa and Europe by the Replacement of the Neanderthals by Modern Humans project. PaleoAsiaDB provides a list of more than 3,300 sites and 7,600 cultural assemblages of the Middle and Upper Paleolithic (Middle and Late Stone Age) of the Eastern Hemisphere as of 2020. This database is the first attempt of its kind to document the related sites of 200-20ka. The full version of the database is available at the University Museum on the University of Tokyo homepage.

The second part of the monograph on the results of the archaeological excavation of Werkaure's mastaba (AC 26; dated to the second part of the Fifth Dynasty) and its surroundings in central Abusir focuses on contexts dating to the First Intermediate Period, the Middle Kingdom, the New Kingdom, and the first millennium BC. The focus of the book is on analyses concerning the secondary cemetery which developed in the area of Tomb AC 26 and the adjacent Tombs AC 32 during the Third Intermediate Period and the Late Period. A large number of finds and ecofacts were discovered during the archaeological research, which has been treated in a comprehensive manner in this multidisciplinary publication consisting of eight chapters. The text deals with the analysis of the relevant archaeological situations, which were often extensively damaged by later interventions, and the development of the mastaba area and its surroundings during the period in question. Furthermore, the discovered parts of material culture, funerary equipment of the deceased, wooden coffins, pottery, textile finds, and their fragments are analysed. A relatively large part of the monograph consists of anthropological analyses of skeletal remains, a large number of which were discovered in Tombs AC 26, AC 32 and their surroundings. Analyses of collected samples using palynological, botanical, zoological, xylotomic, and entomological methods are an important part of the monograph represent an important part of the monograph. In the last chapter, the publication brings conclusions concerning not only the development of the area of Werkaure's tomb after the end of the Old Kingdom but also the development of its surroundings in the central part of the Abusir necropolis after the end of the Old Kingdom period. The text of the monograph is supplemented by rich pictorial and photographic documentation.
