Prehistoric archaeology

  • The Invisible Sexby J. M. Adovasio; Olga Soffer

    HarperCollins 2008; US$ 20.99

    Shaped by cartoons and museum dioramas, our vision of Paleolithic times tends to feature fur-clad male hunters fearlessly attacking mammoths while timid women hover fearfully behind a boulder. In fact, recent research has shown that this vision bears little relation to reality. The field of archaeology has changed dramatically in the past two decades,... more...

  • Exchange Networks and Local Transformationsby Maria Emanuela Alberti; Serena Sabatini

    Oxbow Books 2012; US$ 38.00

    Throughout the local Bronze and Iron Age, European and Mediterranean societies appear to have been involved in complex systems of exchange networks which invariably affected local customs and historical developments. Archaeological evidence suggests social and economic phenomena, cultural expressions and technological skills stemmed from multifaceted... more...

  • The Acheulian Site of Gesher Benot Ya'aqov IIby Nira Alperson-Afil; Naama Goren-Inbar

    Springer 2010; US$ 99.99

    The manipulation of fire by early hominins was a turning point in our evolutionary history. Once 'domesticated', fire provided warmth, light and protection from predators, as well as enabling the exploitation of a new range of foods. This book presents the spatial analyses of burned and unburned flint items which provide evidence for the controlled... more...

  • Regional Perspectives on Neolithic Pit Depositionby Hugo Anderson-Whymark; Julian Thomas

    Oxbow Books 2011; US$ 35.00

    The rise to prominence of pits within narratives of the British and Irish Neolithic is well-documented in recent literature. Pits have been cropping up in excavations for centuries, resulting in a very broad spectrum of interpretations but three main factors have led to the recent change in our perception and representation of these features: a broad... more...

    Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 45.00

    The new edition details key advances in the field related to lithic debitage analysis and lithic tool analysis since publication of the first edition in 1998. It includes new sections on stone tool functional studies, microdebitage analysis and minimal analytical nodule analysis. more...

  • A Living Landscapeby Stijn Arnoldussen

    Sidestone Press 2007; US$ 37.75

    Today, half the Netherlands is below sea level. Because of this, water-management is of key importance when it comes to maintaining present-day habitation of the Dutch low-lands. In prehistory, however, large parts of the Dutch landscape were highly dynamic due to ongoing fluvial sedimentation. Vast deltaic areas with ceaseless river activity formed... more...

  • Trepanation: History, Discovery, Theoryby Robert Arnott; Stanley Finger; Chris Smith

    Taylor and Francis 2003; US$ 157.95

    This volume will look at the history of trepanation, the identification of skulls, the tools used to make the cranial openings, and theories as to why trepanation might have been performed many thousands of years ago. more...

Study of changes in climate, landscape... more...

    The volume is the first in nearly a decade to focus a wide range of scholarship on one of the most compelling periods in the antiquity of the Mediterranean and Near East.
