Death Rituals, Social Order and the Archaeology of Immortality in the Ancient World “Death Shall Have No Dominion”
Modern archaeology has amassed considerable evidence for the disposal of the dead through burials, cemeteries, and other monuments. Drawing on this body of evidence, this book offers fresh insight into how early human societies conceived of death and the afterlife. The twenty-seven essays in this volume consider the rituals and responses to death in prehistoric societies across the world, from eastern Asia through Europe to the Americas, and from the very earliest times before developed religious beliefs offered scriptural answers to these questions. Compiled and written by leading prehistorians and archaeologists, this volume traces the emergence of death as a concept in early times, as well as a contributing factor to the formation of communities and social hierarchies, and sometimes the creation of divinities.

A must-read not only for archaeological resource management specialists but also for anyone who is interested in the implications of archaeology as a social practice.’ – Koji Mizoguchi, Kyushu University

Lynne Kelly Author of Knowledge and Power in Prehistoric Societies: Orality, Memory, and the Transmission of Culture KELLY
A serendipitous event changed the direction of my research forever and led to this book. I was working on primary orality, the way indigenous people memorised vast amounts of information without writing. Accompanying my archaeologist husband to Stonehenge, I realised that orality offered a new theory for the purpose of many enigmatic monuments built by small-scale cultures. I hope readers find this new approach as exciting as I do.

This book is a long-term history of how the human body has been understood in Europe from the Palaeolithic to the present day.

Art and Risk in Ancient Yoruba Ife History, Power, and Identity, c.1300 Suzanne Preston Blier Harvard University, Massachusetts
This book examines the intersection of art, risk and creativity in early African arts from the Yoruba center of Ife. It offers a unique lens into one of Africa’s most important and least understood early civilizations, one whose historic arts have long been of interest to local residents and Westerners alike because of their tour-de-force visual power and technical complexity. ‘First encountered by foreign observers a century ago, the arts of ancient Ife have since astonished and baffled scholars and connoisseurs alike. Blier’s research, Shakespearean in scope, at last connects these sublime sculptures to a tumultuous past and a vital present.’ Donald J. Cosentino, University of California, Los Angeles

The Roman Forum A Reconstruction and Architectural Guide Gilbert J. Gorski University of Notre Dame, Indiana
and James E. Packer Northwestern University, Illinois
The Roman Forum was in many ways the heart of the Roman Empire. Today, the Forum exists in a fragmentary state, having been destroyed and plundered by barbarians, aristocrats, citizens and priests over the past two millennia. Enough remains, however, for archaeologists to reconstruct its spectacular buildings and monuments. This richly illustrated volume provides an architectural history of the central section of the Roman Forum during the Empire (31 BCE–476 CE), from the Temple of Julius Caesar to the monuments on the slope of the Capitoline hill. Bringing together stateof-the-art technology in architectural illustration and the expertise of a prominent Roman archaeologist, this book offers a unique reconstruction of the Forum, providing architectural history, a summary of each building’s excavation and research, scaled digital plans, elevations, and reconstructed aerial images that not only shed light on the Forum’s history but vividly bring it to life. With this book, scholars, students, architects and artists will be able to visualize for the first time since antiquity

Constantine, Divine Emperor of the Christian Golden Age Jonathan Bardill
Constantine, Divine Emperor of the Christian Golden Age offers a radical reassessment of Constantine as an emperor, a pagan and a Christian. Setting the emperor in the context of the kings and emperors who preceded him, the book explores how Constantine’s propagandists exploited the traditional themes and imagery of rulership to portray him as having been elected by the supreme solar God to save his people and inaugurate a brilliant golden age. ‘Bardill’s monograph is a major contribution to Constantine studies. His overarching argument, that the emperor’s monuments offered an open-ended set of associations that may have resonated differently for different viewers, but which cohered into a consistent vision of divinely sanctioned solar monotheism, is a welcome response to more one-dimensional interpretations of the reign. The volume is well written, thoroughly researched and handsomely produced. Its abundant illustrations include illuminating
reconstructions of several key monuments in their ancient environments.’ Elizabeth Marlowe, The Journal of Roman Studies 2015 279 x 216 mm 465pp 227 b/w illus. 2 maps 978-1-107-53898-6 Paperback £23.99 / US$36.99 Also available 978-0-521-76423-0 Hardback £84.99 / US$135.00 For all formats available, see

The Pantheon From Antiquity to the Present Edited by Tod A. Marder and Mark Wilson Jones
This book treats the Pantheon from the unique perspective of its construction, survival and reception through history. Each chapter is an investigation of a particular architectural aspect of the building or a historical period during its survival to explain how the Pantheon has been understood over the centuries, why it looks as it does today and why it has endured as an architectural model. ‘The contributors provide a valuable synthesis of recent research on the Pantheon, the paradigm of Roman architectural and engineering prowess. They also identify new and productive directions for subsequent research on the ancient edifice and on its extended legacy.’ John Pinto, Princeton University, New Jersey

Archaeology and the Senses Human Experience, Memory, and Affect Yannis Hamilakis University of Southampton
This book is an exciting new look at how archaeology has dealt with the bodily senses and offers an argument for how the discipline can offer a richer glimpse into the human sensory experience. Yannis Hamilakis proposes a novel framework for understanding the bodily senses and their interaction with things and environments. ‘This book goes far beyond a study of archaeology, the past, and the traditional senses of the modern Western world. It presents an innovative strategy that, through a broad approach to a sensorially inspired archaeology, enables the past to be written as a rich and affective palimpsest, while maintaining the standards and rigors of archaeological investigation.’ Ruth Tringham, University of California, Berkeley 2015 229 x 152 mm 270pp 26 b/w illus. 978-0-521-54599-0 Paperback £19.99 / US$29.99 Also available 978-0-521-83728-6 Hardback £69.99 / US$110.00 For all formats available, see

This book introduces readers to the impact of the digital on humanities research. Beginning with definitions and a brief historical survey of the humanities, it examines how humanists have been affected by the digital and how, in turn, they shape it to research, organize, analyze and publish their work. ‘Deep scholarship and lively engagement with a vast range of contemporary innovations animate this concise, reliable, indeed almost indispensable book.’ James J. O’Donnell, author of Avatars of the Word
