Archaeology of Celtic Art
by D.W. Harding
More wide ranging, both geographically and chronologically, than any previous study, this well-illustrated book offers a new definition of Celtic art. Tempering the much-adopted art-historical approach, Harding argues for a broader definition of Celtic art and views it within a much wider archaeological context. He re-asserts ancient Celtic identity after a decade of deconstruction in English-language archaeology. 301p b/w illus (Routledge ...

From Genesis to Prehistory: The Archaeological Three Age System and its Contested Reception in Denmark, Britain and Ireland
by Peter Rowley-Conwy
We are now familiar with the Three Age System, the archaeological partitioning of the past into Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. This division, which amounted at the time to a major scientific revolution, was conceived in Denmark in the 1830s. Peter Rowley-Conwy investigates the reasons why the Three Age system was adopted without demur in Scandinavian archaeological circles, yet was the subject of a bitter and long-drawn-out contest in ...

Beyond the Site: The Saalian Archaeological Record at Maastricht-Belvédère, The Netherlands
by Dimitri De Loecker
Between 1980 and 1990, the former Belvédère gravel- and loess pit was given specific attention due to the discovery of in situ Middle Palaeolithic artefacts and faunal remains, in the Saalian and Weichselian strata. These discoveries led to further, systematic excavation of the site by Leiden University, resulting in the documentation of a number of areas where Middle Palaeolithic foragers discarded their flint tools. This book ...

Le Dernier Interglaciaire et les occupations humaines du Paleolithique moyen
edited by Alain Tuffreau and Wil Roebroeks
This volume is the outcome of a workshop dedicated to the geology and archaeology of the last interglacial, oxygen isotope stage 5e. The authors address various aspects of the fossil record of this warm-temperate stage, which was for a long time considered to be a good analogue for our current interglacial. This volume shows, not unexpectedly, that this assumption is not correct, and that within the no-analogue environments of the Eemian humans ...

Early Riders: Beginnings of Mounted Warfare
by Robert Drews
It would be easy to make the link that once man learned to control the horse, it was a straightforward and relatively rapid step to using them as mounts for warfare. This assumption has spawned a great deal of scholarship but in his new book Robert Drews argues that many have made this link far too back in history. In this controversial study of when, where and why military riding first took place, Drew refutes and disproves claims that date back ...

This large volume presnts a description of the building itself before looking at the activities taking place within it, such as the slaughter, ...
