• Ame r i can Archae ol og y • Cahokia
City of the Cosmos John Kelly and James A. Brown The large American Indian city of Cahokia sits amidst a diverse natural landscape within the larger central Mississippi river valley. In this volume the editors and authors attempt to not just focus on Cahokia and its configuration but also the other towns and settlements dispersed throughout the region extant for nearly four centuries. The importance of Cahokia to native peoples and to the world community as a UNESCO World Heritage site resides in its creation as a “Cosmological Center of the Universe.” In order to begin comprehending where we are today in an interpretation that respects and pays homage to those that were instrumental in its conception and the implementation of a vision, one must understand the principles that underlie the Indigenous cosmology and rituals of Eastern North America. The editor’s investigations over nearly 25 years have helped elucidate the significance of Cahokia as an urban center and the processes leading to its creation.

The history of this sacred place is highlighted by a number of major discontinuities that represent intellectual “axis mundi” of this discussion. However, it is the broader landscape perspectives over the centuries that serve to illuminate the vibrant colors of this narrative.
Extracting Stone The Archaeology of Quarry Landscapes Anne S. Dowd and Mary Beth D. Trubbitt This exciting new addition to the American Landscapes series provides an in-depth account of how flintknappers obtained and used stone based on archaeological, geological, landscape, and anthropological data. Featuring case studies from three key regions in North America, this book gives readers a comprehensive view of quarrying activities ranging from extracting the raw material to creating finished stone tools. From the procurement systems approach common in the 1980s and 1990s, archaeologists can now employ a landscape approach to quarry studies in tandem with GIS computer mapping and digital analysis, LiDAR airborne laser scanning for recording topography, or high resolution satellite imagery.

• Ame r i can Archae ol og y • Ancient Effigy Mound Landscapes of Upper Midwestern North America Robert A. Birmingham Between c. AD 700 and 1100, Late Woodland people of the Upper Midwest of North America used the topography and other features of the natural landscape to create vast ceremonial landscapes consisting of thousands of earthen mounds sculpted into animals and animal spirits. These mounds mirrored their belief and clan-based social structure and served an important role in mortuary ritual. In doing so, the Late Woodland people created visible 3D maps of ancient cosmology and social structures that are similar to the beliefs and social systems of more recent Indian people. Bob Birmingham brings together a comprehensive overview of the effigy mound phenomenon of the Upper Midwest centered on southern Wisconsin. He documents the nature of these unique effigy mound landscapes and provides the interpretation that these were considered to be living landscapes in which ancestral animals and supernatural beings were ritually brought back to life at places where the spirits are best evoked.

Transforming the Landscape Rock Art and the Mississippian Cosmos Carol Diaz-Granados, Jan Simek, George Sabo and Mark Wagner Over the past 25 years, major rock art research has been performed in the North American eastern woodlands. Because of the enormity of the eastern landscape and the growing number of rock art sites, the editors decided to focus on the cultural landscapes and cosmology. This constitutes a major component of pre-contact petroglyphs and pictographs. In this beautifully illustrated volume leading rock art specialists cover a wide range of methodologies regarding the placement of rock art on the landscape as well as various approaches to uncovering meaning in the rock art imagery during the Mississippian Period (post AD 900). The authors discuss compelling connections between the imagery and cultural materials, including oral traditions collected by ethnographers from American Indians in the 19th century and more recently, what a cosmogram-based approach can teach us about people, places, and past environments and what it may reveal that more conventional approaches overlook.

Tarascan Copper Metallurgy A Multiapproach Perspective Blanca Estela Maldonado In the early sixteenth century much of West México was under the rule of the Purhépecha Empire. During the Late Postclassic Period (A.D. 1350-1525) it was the primary center for metallurgy and metalworking in Mesoamerica, largely based on copper and its alloys. The book focuses on evidence from the area surrounding Santa Clara del Cobre, a Tarascan community in Central Michoacán. Stratigraphic excavation and subsequent archaeometallurgical analysis of physical remains were combined with ethnohistorical and ethnoarchaeological data, as well as comparative analogy, to propose a model for prehispanic copper production among the Tarascans. The goal of this analysis was to gain insights into the nature of metal production and its role in the major state apparatus.

The Hydraulic System of Uxul Origins, Functions, and Social Setting Nicolaus Seefeld Since the inception of Maya studies, the issue of water supply due to the annually recurring dry seasons in Classic Maya society has been a matter of controversial debate. This book aims to explain the water management strategies of the Maya in pre-Hispanic times. This volume analyzes the intricate relationship between the natural environment and the adaptation strategies of the pre-Hispanic population, whose physical remains were documented in the form of hydraulic features. The main body of this monograph focuses on the archaeological investigation of the hydraulic system of Uxul. It identifies both the natural causes for water scarcities and the cultural adaptation strategies that were designed to overcome them. This book is the most extensive and exhaustive account on the hydraulic features of the Maya Lowlands and thus enables representative statements on the sociopolitical relevance of water management in Classic Maya society.

Case Studies from the Coastal Villages of St. Kitts and the Kalinago Territory, Dominica Dr. Charlotte Eloise Stancioff This research investigates the changing landscape and land use in two case studies of the coastal villages of St. Kitts and the Kalinago Territory of Domini ca. In both case studies, there remains emphasis on the tangible, as results not only lead to new directions in landscape research but also deliverables used by community stakeholders for continued land sustainability. This moves away from how local communities fit into global phenomena of land change, to how communities can assert their diversity within a global process.

• Archae ol og i cal Me thod & T he or y • Landscape Beneath the Waves The Archaeological Exploration of Underwater Landscapes Caroline Wickham-Jones
At the end of the last Ice Age, sea level around the world was lower, coastal lands stretched further and the continents were bigger, in some cases landmass es were joined by dry land that has now disappeared beneath the waves. The study of the now submerged landscapes that our ancestors knew represents one of the last barriers for archaeology. Only recently have advances in underwater technology reached the stage where a wealth of procedures is available to explore this lost undersea world. This volume considers the processes behind the rising (and falling) of relative sea-levels and then presents the main techniques available for the study and interpretation of the archaeological remains that have survived inundation.

Case studies are used to illustrate particular applications. Finally, a review of projects around the world highlights the varying scale and period of sites concerned. Submerged archaeological sites often include the preservation of fragile materials, such as decorated timbers, that shed rare detail on the communities of prehistory; in other cases the features of the landscape context into which they are set can be extraordinarily wellpreserved. This is not a book about shipwrecks but about landscapes now lost beneath the waves. It is written for all archaeologists, whether they work on land or at sea, and for all who are interested in the past; it illustrates the shape of the world as it once was and explains why we need to understand it. It offers an easily accessible introduction to the exciting realm of underwater archaeology.

• Archae ol og i cal Me thod & T he or y • Reinventing Sustainability
How Archaeology can Save the Planet Erika Guttmann-Bond This book is about sustainable agriculture and architecture in the past and the engineering works that supported them, but it also looks to the future. Ancient technologies are what engineers define as ‘intermediate,' which means that they are often simple, low in cost, and they depend on local materials. Significantly, they don’t require fossil fuels. There is a lot that we in the West can learn from the past and from developing countries where people still practice traditional agriculture, and there is now broad agreement among many governments, nongovernment organizations, engineers and agronomists, as well as the United Nations, that intermediate technologies are often the most appropriate way forward in developing countries. The New Green Revolution is looking to traditional knowledge to solve problems of decreasing yields and environmental impoverishment, rather than to technology that is dependent on the diminishing resource of fossil fuels.

• Archae ol og i cal Me thod & T he or y • Conversations between Objects Linda Hulin
Linda Hulin considers the relationship between the archaeological record and the human past and examines the differences that arise between the practice of excavating material culture and the models for thinking about it. Two common themes emerge: the dominance of vision as a medium of both recording the past and a vehicle for understanding it, and the primacy given to knowledge over sensation. The interplay between knowledge and experience is a major thread running through this argument and offers a way to deal with the quantities of mundane items that constitute the bulk of material culture. Hulin considers how, during fieldwork, the habitus is physically and intellectually deconstructed and then reconsituted in post-excavation analysis when the context in its entirety should be the basic unit of analysis, starting with the space in which it is situated. She then explores how buildings have come to be understood as solid metaphors for liquid social relations, places where the symbolism of sacred and secular power is brought to life using The Sackler Library to demonstrate that the symbolic message of a building overlaps with, but is different from, the everyday experience of it.

She examines the conscious and unconscious affects of built space and presents a series of case studies of domestic contexts that examine the ways in which objects within rooms work together to create or preclude harmonious or dissonant effects. The relationship between building and contents is then taken in two directions: archaeologies of empire are presented to demonstrate the effects of climate and circumstances on buildings and objects that are transplanted from ‘home’ to ‘abroad’ in an attempt to maintain a consistency of institutional and bodily experience; houses in the UK, Italy and the Near East show how long-term occupancy affects the acquisition of objects and decoration of rooms: essentially how bodily experience is unconsciously impacted by the sedimentation of objects. Finally, the discussion returns to excavation, and closes with a call to re-orient the analysis of material culture to make it a more collaborative and integrated process. Ultimately, this work brings the ordinariness of the object world back into discourse by exploring its affect, en masse, upon the human body.

The papers in this volume view Bronze Age objects through the lens of creativity to see the individual and cultural processes that lie behind creative expression.
Using archaeology and anthropology, this concludes that play is not a mere separate activity.

A Phenomenological Approach to the Study of Minoan Architecture Clairy Palyvou The mythical Daidalos stands for the protoype of “an architect at work”. Here architecture is the protagonist and phenomoneology the basic tool of thought. It addresses archaeologists, architectural historians, and architects alike, hoping that it will prove useful to those interested in understanding the Minoan world through its architecture as much as those interested in exploring architecture through the Minoan paradigm.

• Roman • House of the Surgeon, Pompeii Excavations in the Casa del Chirurgo (VI 1, 9-10.23) Michael Anderson and Damian Robinson This book is the first major publication of an important series of excavations undertaken by the Anglo-American Project in Pompeii (1994-2006) in a city block known as Insula VI 1. The methodology employed has generated one of the single largest bodies of archaeological data ever produced on the development of ancient Pompeii, from the earliest traces of human habitation until its destruction, data available in form of a study of the most famous and prominent of the houses on the block.
Oxbow Books • Currently Available • 9781785707285 $110 • Hardback • 7.8 × 8.3 • 664 pages
The results of the exhaustive study of the Casa del Chirurgo (House of the Surgeon) within its urban context not only challenge many of the conclusions of previous research, but also make it possible to contribute information to the history of Pompeii’s urban development, illuminating the chronology of urban change, the processes involved in domestic construction, aspects of the environment, and changing socio-political and economic conditions within Italy throughout the middle to late Republic and early Empire.
Material Approaches to Roman Magic Occult Objects and Supernatural Substances Adam Parker and Stuart McKie This second volume in the new TRAC Themes in Roman Archaeology series seeks to push the research agendas of materiality and lived experience further into the study of Roman magic, a field that has, until recently, lacked object-focused analysis. Building on the pioneering studies in Boschung and Bremmer’s (2015) Materiality of Magic, the editors of the present volume have collected contributions that showcase the value of richly-detailed, context-specific explorations of the magical practices of the Roman world. By concentrating primarily on the Imperial period and the western provinces, the various contributions demonstrate very clearly the exceptional range of influences and possibilities open to individuals who sought to use magical rituals to affect their lives in these specific contexts—something that would have been largely impossible in earlier periods of antiquity.

Insularity has played a key role in shaping the identities of populations inhabiting islands of the Mediterranean. Archaeologically, they have the potential to reveal distinct identities shaped by such forces as invasion, imperialism, colonialism, and connectivity. The twelve papers presented here each deal with specific islands or island groups, thus allowing for an integrated view of Mediterranean insularity and identity.

Roman Amphorae in Neuss Augustan to Julio-Claudian Contexts Horacio González Cesteros and Piero Berni Millet Neuss was one of the earliest points on the Rhine where the Roman military was positioned. The area was occupied — with some intervals — from 16 BC onwards by different legions as well as smaller units. This book provides an in-depth study of one of the most important archaeological artefacts for understanding the military supply along the German frontier: the amphorae. The study of this material is essential not only for understanding Neuss, but for further understanding of the whole Rhine and the logistics of the Roman army and its supply from very distant areas.

• Roman • The Ancient Art of Transformation Case Studies from Mediterranean Contexts Renee M. Gondek and Carrie L. Sulosky Weaver This book examines instances of human transformation in the ancient and early Christian Mediterranean world by exploring the ways in which art impacts, aids, or provides evidence for physical, spiritual, personal, and social transitions. Building on Arnold van Gennep’s notion of universal rites of passage, papers here expand the definition of “transformation” to include widespread transitions. Together, these papers offer a close examination of various types of visual evidence from several cultures and periods and document how personal, societal, and historical changes become permanently fixed in the material record.

The François Vase Rex Vasorum, King of Vases Mario Iozzo The most famous Greek vase and certainly one of the most well-known and widely studied “minor” works of classical antiquity, the François Vase is presented here to the public in a precise but clear and straight-forward text intended for both students and scholars, but also for the casual, nonspecialist admirer. Discovered in two different excavation campaigns, in 1844 and 1845, in the Etruscan city of Camars or Clevsie-, present-day Chiusi (Siena), by Alessandro François, War Commissioner of the Granduke Leopold II of Habsburg-Lorraine, the krater is one of the undisputed masterpieces of ancient Greek pottery.

The Roman Pottery Manufacturing Site in Highgate Wood Excavations 1966-78 A. E. Brown and H. L. Sheldon Excavations over a period of eight years uncovered at least ten pottery kilns, waster heaps, ditches and pits, and few definite structures. This indicates a period of operation (first half of the 1st century AD to the later 2nd century). The report includes analysis of the forms and fabrics of the pottery made at Highgate. Finds of prehistoric flintwork and pottery during the excavation, and of material of later date, together with the observation of earthworks and historical research, have been used to show the place of the pottery kilns as an element in the exploitation of the woodland of northern London over the last eight thousand years.

• Roman • Engraved Gems From Antiquity to the Present B.J.L. Van den Bercken and V.C.P. Baan Many are no larger than a fingertip and were used for various purposes. They are engraved with symbols, magic spells and images of gods, animals and emperors. The earliest ones served as seals for making impressions in soft materials and later were worn or carried as personal ornaments. The exquisite engraved designs were thought to imbue the gems with special powers. For example, the gods and rituals depicted on cylinder seals from Mesopotamia were thought to protect property and to lend force to agreements marked with the seals. This edited volume discusses some of the finest and most exceptional precious and semi-precious stones from the collection of the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities and other special collections throughout Europe. This is the first major publication on engraved gems in the collection of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden since 1978.

Representations of Animals on Greek and Roman Engraved Gems Meanings and Interpretations Idit Sagiv Animals being a frequent depiction on gemstones within the Greek and Roman periods, play a key role in symbolic representations on these engraved gems. They have generally been overlooked with little in the way of focussed academic study. Here, a large group of Greek and Roman gems (intaglios) bearing depictions of animals was selected. The gems are presented through a detailed study of the themes described in an attempt to form a comprehensive approach to the depictions of animals and their significance on Greek and Roman gems. The work examines the associations between animal depictions and the type of gemstone and its believed qualities. The study also discusses the changes in representation of animals on gems compared to other, larger media, and questions the significance of these changes.

Elements of Continuity Stone Cult in the Maltese Islands George Azzopardi The stones dealt with in this study are non-figural (or aniconic) or, sometimes, semi-figural. They come from ritual contexts and, as such, act as a material representation of divine presence in their role as betyls. But it is not mainly the representational aspect of these stones that this study seeks to highlight. As material representations of divine presence that are also worshipped, these particular stones form part of a phenomenon that seems to know no geographical or temporal boundaries. They are of a universal character. This universal character of theirs that seems to qualify these stones as elements forming part of the phenomenon of continuity: continuity across different cultures and in different places along several centuries. It is this phenomenon which this study seeks to highlight through a study of these stones. The Maltese islands are presented as a case study to demonstrate the phenomenon of continuity through a study of these stones.

Yet despite the consistency of this picture, surprisingly little archaeological or historical research has been done to explore what this may really have meant to the men and women of the time.

This book examines the evidence for Old Norse sorcery, looking at its meaning and function, practice and practitioners, and the complicated constructions of gender and sexual identity with which these were underpinned. Combining strong elements of eroticism and aggression, sorcery appears as a fundamental domain of women’s power, linking them with the gods, the dead and the future. Their battle spells and combat rituals complement the men’s physical acts of fighting, in a supernatural empowerment of the Viking way of life. What emerges is a fundamentally new image of the world in which the Vikings understood themselves to move, in which magic and its implications permeated every aspect of a society permanently geared for war.
In this fully revised and expanded second edition, Neil Price takes us with him on a tour through the sights and sounds of this undiscovered country, meeting its human and otherworldly inhabitants, including the Sámi with whom the Norse partly shared this mental landscape. On the way we explore Viking notions of the mind and soul, the fluidity of the boundaries that they drew between humans and animals, and the immense variety of their spiritual beliefs. We find magic in the Vikings’ bedrooms and on their battlefields, and we meet the sorcerers themselves through their remarkable burials and the tools of their trade. Combining archaeology, history and literary scholarship with extensive studies of Germanic and circumpolar religion, this multi-award-winning book shows us the Vikings as we have never seen them before.

Cille Pheadair A Norse Farmstead and Pictish Burial Cairn in South Uist Mike Parker Pearson, Mark Brennand, Jacqui Mulville and Helen Smith Cille Pheadair is one of more than 20 Viking Age and Late Norse settlements discovered on the island of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides (Western Isles), off the west coast of Scotland. Its unusually well-preserved stratigraphic sequence of nine phases of occupation provides a remarkable insight into daily life on a Norse farmstead during two centuries of near-continuous occupation c. AD 1000–1200. Cille Pheadair’s status as an ordinary, if wealthy, farmstead can be contrasted with the much larger and longer-lived high-status settlement at Bornais to the north. The two sites together provide a fascinating insight into similarities and differences within the settlement hierarchy of the time that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the Viking world.

Mortuary Pratices and Social Transformation The Eastern Nile Delta During the 4th–early 3rd Millennium BC Joanne M. Rowland This latest volume in the Studies in Funerary Archaeology series presents an Egyptian case study from the 4th millennium BC within the framework of wider studies and analyses of early complex societies. Mortuary Practices and Social Transformation is concerned with means by which to approach mortuary data to consider both what it can tell about the living world, but also what it can tell us about relationships between the dead and the living. This book gives an overview of the period prior to and during the rise of the Egyptian state and presents a clear methodology for approaching mortuary data, including the importance of chronological divisions by which researchers can have the opportunity to monitor change over time. Joanne Rowland embeds discussion of the results of her analysis within a comparison of various aspects of mortuary data throughout Egypt from the Neolithic until the Early Dynastic period.

Egyptian Predynastic Anthropomorphic Objects A Study of their Function and Significance in Predynastic Burial Customs Ryna Ordynat Anthropomorphic objects from the Egyptian Predynastic have been a topic of frequent study and debate, from the time they were first excavated until today. These objects, including human figurines, hippopotamus tusks, tag amulets and combs carved with the human image, continue to fascinate and perplex scholars today. Objects such as these form part of the extensive and distinctive iconographic imagery of Predynastic Egypt, and are often interpreted solely in the context of their symbolic or iconographic significance. The aim of this study is to examine these anthropomorphic objects in terms of their original context in order to determine what role they played in Predynastic burials – a useful method, as most of these objects are found in graves.

What is particularly interesting about this monument is that its distinctiveness is strictly connected to the nature of its recipient. Amasis dedicated the naos to Osiris Hemag, one of the most important and enigmatic Osirian forms of the first millennium BC.

This re-examines the premise that changes of the sixth century were precipitated by the disappearance of cultural and political traditions that had sustained the classical city, the financial and military weakness of the state or the growing predominance of the Christian religion over urban life. Furthermore, it evaluates the effects of various natural events that impacted on life in Asia Minor, including the dust veil event of 536, the recurrent outbreaks of the bubonic plague from 541/2 onwards and climate change.

• Ne ar E a st • Palmyra after Zenobia AD 273-750 An Archaeological and Historical Reappraisal Emanuele E. Intagliata This book casts light on a much neglected phase of the UNESCO world heritage site of Palmyra (AD 272–750). The goal of the book is to fill a substantial hole in modern scholarship – the late antique and early Islamic history of the city still has to be written. In late antiquity Palmyra remained a thriving provincial city whose existence was assured by its newly acquired role of stronghold along the eastern frontier. The book concludes with a synthetic account of archaeological and written material, providing a comprehensive history of the settlement from its origins to the fall of Marwan II in 750 AD.

The Luwians of Western Anatolia Their Neighbours and Predecessors Fred Woudhuizen In scholarly literature the Luwians of Western Anatolia are notoriously neglected. Therefore, a study focussing on the latter is desirable. In this book, the presently available information on the western Luwians is assembled. This entails, primarily, the epigraphic evidence in the form of Luwian hieroglyphic inscriptions from the region and the historical information which can be deduced from it, as well as historical Hittite sources. As a prerequisite for the reconstruction of the history of the western Luwians during the Middle and Late Bronze Ages, the thorny question of the geography of their habitat needs to be tackled.

Dosariyah An Arabian Neolithic Coastal Community in the Central Gulf Philipp Drechsler This book describes the work carried out at Dosariyah which took place between 2010 and 2014. It was conducted by the joint German-Saudi Dosariyah Archaeological Research Project (DARP). A wealth of material remains was found during excavations within almost three metres of anthropogenic deposits. Radiocarbon dates and comparative studies of artifacts securely date the occupation of the site into the first centuries of the fifth millennium BC. Based on the material evidence from the site, such collective social events were embedded in everyday life during the fifth millennium BC.

• Europe an P rehi stor y • The Times of Their Lives Hunting History in the Archaeology of Neolithic Europe Alasdair Whittle Coming out of a recent major project funded by the European Research Council, and with the experience of Gathering Time (Oxbow Books 2011) also behind it, The Times of their Lives sets out this case. It considers the varying timescales of archaeology, history and anthropology, and the construction of precise chronologies. It examines the reach of precision in a series of case studies across Neolithic Europe to do with big themes of settlement, monumentality and materiality through the sixth to third millennia cal BC. It ends by looking ahead to a future archaeology, exploiting the best of archaeological science. Oxbow Books • Currently Available • 9781785706684 • $59.99 Hardback • 6.7 × 9.4 • 320 pages
Big Men or Chiefs? Rondel Builders of Neolithic Europe Jaroslav Řídký, Petr Květina, Petr Limburský, Markéta Končelová, Pavel Burgert and Radka Šumberová The authors of the book ask whether these structures, most often termed rondels, can be regarded as ‘architecture of power’. Using anthropological terms — were they skilful and exceptional entrepreneurs with an ad hoc status (such as Big Men) living in egalitarian/segmented communities, or rather powerful Chiefs living in rank and hereditary based societies/chiefdoms?

Neolithic Bodies Penny Bickle and Emilie Sibbesson This volume captures the variety of debates developing across research into the Neolithic bodies of the Near East and Europe. Papers are divided into three themes: living bodies, the body in death, and the representation of the body. It begins with an introduction to the recent developments in the field and concludes with a discussion which sets an agenda for future studies on this theme. The approaches taken in the papers presented here bridge many different methodologies, ranging from theoretical treatises to methodological debates. Overall, the volume presents the study of the body in the Neolithic as a contested site and addresses the insights provided by thinking about past bodies.

• Me di e v al • Caves and Ritual in Medieval Europe, AD 500-1500 Knut Bergsvik and Marion Dowd Caves and rockshelters in Europe have traditionally been associated with prehistory, and in some regions cave archaeology has become synonymous with the Palaeolithic. During the medieval period (here taken as AD 500–1500) caves were used for short-term shelter, habitation, specialized craft activities, storage, as hideaways, and for tending animals. Caves were also used for religious purposes. This book focuses on this neglected field of research – the ritual and religious use of caves.

Playing With Money Robert Bracey In the early 12th-century there was a revolution in board games. Children’s games intended to teach morality were transformed into economic simulations aimed at adults. This book demonstrates how play and games reflect and shape our understanding of money, and explores the history of board games in the twentieth century. Within, Robert Bracey, curator of the exhibition, investigates how we think about money, and asks what mundane objects like games, and the universal experience of play, can tell us about society.

Sara A. Rich, Nigel Nayling, Garry Momber and Ana Crespo Solana This book is a set of protocols to establish the need for wood samples from shipwrecks and to guide archaeologists in the removal of samples for a suite of archaeometric techniques currently available to provenance the timbers used to construct wooden ships and boats. While these protocols will prove helpful to archaeologists working on shipwreck assemblages from any time period and in any place, this book uses Iberian ships of the 16th to 18th centuries as its case studies because their global mobility poses additional challenges to the problem at hand. At the same time, their prolificacy and ubiquity make the wreckage of these ships a uniquely global phenomenon.

Transfer Between Sea and Land Maritime Vessels for Cultural Exchanges in the Early Modern Period Dr. Simone Kahlow Questions about the cultural exchange of both knowledge and material goods are just as topical today as in years gone by. These questions have gained increasing attention from scholars since the 1980s when the term ‘transfers cultures’ by historians arose. However, this book provides a completely new approach in this context by interdisciplinary investigation of cultural exchanges based on chosen objects from shipwrecks and land, significant written documents and verifiable transfer of knowledge. The publication combines studies from humanities and natural sciences. Sidestone Press • Currently Available • 9789088906206 • $40 Paperback • 7 × 10 • 150 pages • 39 color and 14 b/w

The Sea Kings The Late Norse Kingdoms of Man and the Isles c.1066–1275 R. Andrew McDonald The archipelagic kingdoms of Man and the Isles that flourished from the last quarter of the eleventh century down to the middle of the thirteenth century represent two forgotten kingdoms of the medieval British Isles. This book represents the first ever overview of both Manx and Hebridean dynasties that dominated Man and the Isles from the late eleventh to the mid-thirteenth centuries. Coverage is broad and is not restricted to politics and warfare. An introductory chapter examines the maritime context of the kingdoms in light of recent work in the field of maritime history, while subsequent chronological and narrative chapters trace the history of the kingdoms from their origins through their maturity to their demise in the thirteenth century. Separate chapters examine the economy and society, church and religion, power and architecture. John Donald • August 2019 • 9781910900215 • $80 Hardback • 6 × 9 • 304 pages • 8 pages b/w plates

• Mar itime Archae ol og y, S hip s & S hipping • Seafaring and Seafarers in the Bronze Age Eastern Mediterranean A. Bernard Knapp
Seafaring is a mode of travel, a way to traverse maritime space that enables not only the transport of goods and materials but also of people and ideas — communicating and sharing knowledge across the sea and between different lands. This study examines a wide range of material, documentary and iconographic evidence, and re-examines a multiplicity of varying interpretations on Bronze Age seafaring and seafarers in the eastern Mediterranean, from Anatolia in the north to Egypt in the south and west to Cyprus.
