by Aharon Dologopolsky
Do all or most languages in the world descend from a single proto-language ? And if so what can we tell from linguistic analysis about the speakers of this ancient tongue ? These are the two questions at the heart of this controversial book and the themes clearly outlined by Colin Renfrew in his introduction. The theory of a Nostratic proto-language is not new, but the extremely detailed presentation of historical linguistic evidence provided ...

Labyrinth Revisited: Rethinking Minoan Archaeology
edited by Yannis Hamilakis
Minoan Crete is one of the most intensively investigated archaeological cultures in the world, and one that has often captured the public imagination. It is a Bronze Age Aegean society, but it has been intimately connected with the Classical Greek myth of King Minos and his Labyrinth since Sir Arthur Evans excavated and restored (some would say ôrebuiltö) the important site of Knossos, more than a century ago. Yet many archaeological ...

Shamans/Neo-Shamans: Ecstasies, Alternative Archaeologies
by Robert J Wallis
Arguing that Neo-shamans have had a bad press, and have become inextricably linked with all things `alternative' and `New Age', Wallis attempts to put the record straight. Beginning with modern shamans, Wallis discusses what Neo-shamans can contribute to our understanding of the past and why they have been marginalised and dismissed by academics researching the subject of shamans and shamanism. Drawing on interviews and an insiders knowledge of ...

Pre-Histories and Afterlives: Studies in Critical Method for Terence Cave
edited by Anna Holland, Richard Scholar and Agnieszka Steczowicz
If the past is indeed a foreign country, then how can we make sense of its richness and difference, without approaching it on our terms alone? Pre-histories and afterlives, methods that have emerged in recent work by Terence Cave, offer new ways of shaping the stories we tell of the past and the analyses we offer. In this volume, distinguished contributors engage in a dialogue with these two new critical methods, exploring their uses in a range ...
