edited by Lars Larsson, Hans Kindgren, Kjel Knutsson, David Leoffler and Agneta Åkerlund

Mesolithic Horizons
edited by Sinéad McCartan, Rick Schulting, Graeme Warren and Peter Woodman
Mesolithic Horizons marks the publication of the proceedings of the seventh international conference on 'The Mesolithic in Europe' (Belfast 2005). The numbers attending these five-yearly conferences continue to grow - testimony to the growing interest in a period that less than fifty years ago was seen by many as either a 'hiatus' between two more interesting periods, or as a poorly understood phase of little consequence. This is an ...

Mesolithic Studies In The North Sea Basin And Beyond: Proceedings of a Conference Held at Newcastle in 2003
edited by Clive Waddington and Kristian Pedersen
The North Sea has acted as both physical barrier, separating regions from each other, and as the principal means of communication between the same. This duality can also be seen in its potential to be both yielding and destructive; providing food and resources, but also being capable of causing catastrophe. These paradoxical qualities are unlikely to have been lost on our hunter-gatherer ancestors, and they remain relevent to the way that the sea ...

Shell Middens in Atlantic Europe
edited by Nicky Milner, Oliver E Craig and Geoffrey N Bailey
The archaeological investigation of shell middens has a long and rich history. By the mid 1830s, the presence of artefacts found with large accumulations of shell along the Danish coast had successfully demonstrated that these sites were the result of human activity rather than natural processes. At about the same time in other parts of Europe, shell middens were also being discovered and written about - a process which continued throughout ...

Place and Memory: Excavations at the Pict's Knowe, Holywood and Holm Farm, Dumfries and Galloway, 1994-8
edited by Julian Thomas, with the assistance of Matt Leivers, Julia Roberts and Rick Peterson

These were the Pict's Knowe henge, the Holywood cursus complex, and the post alignments/cursus at Holm. The field research was designed in such a way as to recognise that prehistoric monuments often have complex and individual sequences of ...

Prehistoric Journeys
edited by Vicki Cummings and Robert Johnston
This collection of thirteen papers focuses on what it meant to be 'on the move' at different times in prehistory. Ideas of journeys and travel are integral to many traditions of interpreting the prehistoric archaeological record. Travel was after all the driving force behind the formation and transformation of identity. How ironic it is that this feature of prehistory has been so overlooked when the ancient world's 'discovery' in the ...

Archaeogenetics: DNA and the Population Prehistory of Europe
edited by Colin Renfrew and Katie Boyle
Recent developments in molecular genetics are currently transforming our understanding of the population history of the world. Their application to the prehistory and history of Europe was the focus of an interdisciplinary meeting held in Cambridge in 1999 as a Euroconference of the Human Genome Diversity Group. The papers describe the latest developments in this fast-moving area, with a clear and accessible discussion of the results of ...

Cult in Context: Reconsidering Ritual Archaeology
edited by David A Barrowclough and Caroline Malone
Gods, deities, symbolism, deposition, cosmology and intentionality are all features of the study of early ritual and cult. Archaeology has great difficulties in providing satisfactory interpretation or recognition of these elusive but important parts of ancient society, and methodologies are often poorly equipped to explore the evidence. This collection of papers explores a wide range of prehistoric and early historic archaeological contexts from ...
