"This volume brings together recent excavations at two sites in Pocklington, East Yorkshire. The main focus of the volume will be examining Iron Age burials, which included chariots, swords, and spears and will also include earlier Prehistoric and later Roman activity. The excavations have enabled further scientific evidence for migration and mobility in the Iron Age population and secure chronologies for artefacts. New evidence from osteological analysis gives support for Warrior Graves and burial rites. The Pocklington shield has been described as one of the most significant pieces of Iron Age art. The exceptional finds, including a dismantled chariot with horses and an upright chariot also with horses, captured the world's media and the public imagination. The excavations at Pocklington in 2017 and 2018 were featured on BBC 4's Digging for Britain series and was voted Current Archaeology Rescue Project of the Year 2018"--

The site of Rakhigarhi, situated in Hisar District, Haryana, India, is one of the largest metropolises of the Harappan Civilization found so far, to be mentioned alongside the iconic sites of Mohenjo-Daro, Harappa and Dholavira. Between the years 2011 and 2017 extensive explorations and excavations were carried out by teams from the Deccan College P.G.R.I., Deemed University, Pune, Seoul National University and Haryana State Archaeology Department. Mounds 4, 6 and 2 were habitation deposits where cultural sequences of Early and Mature Cultural layers were found. Among the major finds were classical Harappan ceramic assemblages; beads of terracotta, faience, stones and steatite; seals; shell and terracotta bangles; terracotta figurines, etc. Mound 7 was a cemetery, representative of the Mature Harappan period, where systematic excavation was carried out. After chapters introducing the excavations at Rakhigarhi and setting out the objectives of the project, the book focuses on the cemetery, with detailed analysis and inventories of the burials. Data on the physical and pathological traits of the Harappan population are presented in full, with specialist chapters on craniofacial reconstruction, and on parasitological analysis. The volume is completed with analysis of the faunal remains from Rakhigarhi habitation area.

Despite some high-profile exceptions, the archaeology of theSouth Caucasus (present-day Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan)remains marginalised and often overlooked - not receiving the widerexposure it deserves. This situation is partly a consequence ofdecades of occupation and academic isolation, and partly because ofan unfortunate (and incorrect) perception that the South Caucasusis simply peripheral to the archaeologies of Europe and Asia.

The chapters collected in this volume demonstrate the diversityand vibrancy of international research collaboration in thearchaeology of Georgia, while all underline the enormous potentialof the country's archaeological resource. The importance of seeingthe South Caucasus in its unique context, rather than as peripheralto Europe or Asia, is evident throughout. The increasingapplication of scientific techniques to archaeological research andlandscape archaeology features prominently in many of thesechapters. However, the key element is the multidisciplinary natureof much of the work, which allows specialists drawn from a widerange of backgrounds and scholarly traditions to contribute to thebetter understanding and appreciation of the Georgian historicenvironment.
