Groundbreaking Technologies in the Middle Palaeolithic of the Levant
High Resolution and Multi-scale Functional Analysis of Ground Stone Tools
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
857 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
The study of Ground Stone Tools (GST) is a key topic of research to understand major processes related to the evolution of human behaviour across time and space. These artefacts associated with different tasks such as percussive activities are the direct evidence for past human daily tasks and the oldest and most persistent durable technological strategy in human evolution. In this book, we explore the use of Ground Stone Tools during the Middle Paleolithic of the Levant, during which this technology developed and diversified. The study presents three distinct case studies and shows the application of functional analysis using a high-resolution multi-scale approach, combined with de development of dedicated controlled experiments.

Frankish Seats of Power and the North
Centres Between Diplomacy and Confrontation, Transfer of Knowledge and Economy

Seats of power were among the most important pillars of dominion in the Middle Ages. They were at the centre of diplomatic exchange and confrontation, shaped the transfer of knowledge, and acted as control centres of the economy. Between these pillars of power like Nijmegen, Köln, Trier, Frankfurt am Main, Mainz, Aachen or Ingelheim and the respective sites of the North, such as, most prominently, Hedeby, there was a circulation of persons, innovative ideas, and goods. As regards the North, wooden magnates’ farms have seen large-scale excavations in recent times. This is particularly the case for the late first millennium AD, notably in Lejre and Tissø (Denmark), Uppåkra and Uppsala (Sweden), and Kaupang and Borg (Norway). It is only now, after excavations at those locations, that Northern and Central European research can be brought together for further discussion.Proceedings of the International Conference on »Frankish Seats of Power and the North«, Aachen, November 8th to 11th 2022.

Beast and Human
Case Studies for Northern Europe from Prehistoric to Early Modern Times

Human-Animal studies are gaining more and more momentum in archaeo(zoo)logy, for good reasons. It is time to have yet another look at animal-human relations that is less anthropocentric than it was before. Such an approach could come in different forms: from the study of single species and their relation to humans to a so-called multispecies archaeology. However, it could also include imaginary animals, such as dragons and unicorns, or half-animal, half-human beings.This book is intended as a contribution to Human-Animal studies in archaeo(zoo)logy and also as a first step towards a multispecies archaeology, being a broader look at different species, including non-human and human actors but, for the time being, excluding plants.With some alterations, the studies in this volume go back to a session at the Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) in Kiel (Germany) in September 2021 entitled ‘Beast and Human’. The lectures and papers presented here are arranged as a narrative which ranges, geographically, from the United Kingdom to Russia and, chronologically, from the late hunter and gatherers to early modern times.

Beyond Hunting
The »Man the Hunter« Research Paradigm and the Evolution of Archaeological Thought
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
564 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
This volume critically examines the evolution and impact of the "Man the Hunter" paradigm in Pleistocene archaeology. Originally proposed in the 1960s, this framework positioned hunting as the primary driver of human evolution, shaping tool development, social structures, and cognitive abilities. While recent findings, such as those at Schöningen (Germany), have reignited debates about early human hunting capabilities, contemporary research emphasizes a more nuanced understanding of prehistoric life, including diverse subsistence strategies and social roles. The volume brings together contributions that explore various aspects of early human behavior, from hunting and butchery practices to fire use and gender roles, highlighting the complex interplay between biological and cultural evolution. This collection offers fresh perspectives on one of archaeology's most enduring theoretical frameworks.

High-Resolution Climatic Changes at Early Neolithic Franchthi
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

Investigates how early farming communities at Franchthi, a key coastal settlement in southern continental Greece, interacted with their environment during the early Neolithic period. It examines how climatic conditions may have influenced the westward spread of early farming communities from the Near East and Anatolia into Europe, contributing to one of the most significant transformations in European prehistory. Central to this research is the question of whether climatic stress shaped the pace and trajectory of Neolithic migration. By combining Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and oxygen isotope analysis on archaeological mollusc shells, the study bridges the gap between archaeological and climatic records, offering a high-resolution reconstruction of past climatic conditions. Addressing long-standing methodological challenges in linking archaeological and palaeoenvironmental data, the project introduces an innovative, high-resolution approach to synchronising these records. Using mollusc shells from Franchthi as a case study, it reconstructs seasonally resolved climatic data, enabling insights into short-term environmental variability and its potential effects on early farmers. This interdisciplinary study explores the interplay between climate and human agency. Ultimately, it offers a nuanced understanding of how prehistoric communities may have adapted to environmental fluctuations, providing perspectives on human resilience and adaptation in the face of climate change.
