    The subject in this, Number 58 of the series of Cambridge Monographs in African Archaeology, is the range of fortifications on the East African coast. The author traces the development of defences from the 10th to the 19th centuries, from the beginnings of Islamicisation and the apogee of the city-states, to Portugese and Ottoman rule. This broad approach encompasses the main features of military architecture and its interaction with urban societies. As well as defensive structures, the Swahili sites also symbolise urban and non-military use. These appeared from the 10th century, a period where the employment of stone architecture became common. The Swahili centres have both a synchronous and diachronic value; they are witnesses to the political and economic relationships between contemporary settlements, and represent the evolution of urban living. Forts and fortifications reflected royal power, and their study provides a political dimension that affords an insight into the complex relations between the different city-states along this dynamic and vast coastline. The military edifices reflect the periodic tensions and grand events that have shaped the history of the African east littoral.

    This volume arises from a session at the EAA conference in Lisbon in 2000. Its aim was to draw together the new data from Europe on prehistoric wooden palisaded enclosures. Wood was important to early humans yet the rarity of surviving wooden objects from prehistoric contexts means that it is a rarely studied and often ignored medium. However and wherever these wooden remains are tantalizingly discovered, there is common concern across Europe of the lack of understanding on them. However, an increasing amount of work is taking place across Europe on Neolithic palisade enclosures, in particular, and the number of sites is expanding. These sites present their own problems with horizontal stratigraphy and phasing, as well as the more obvious considerations of dating and scarcity of internal features. Questions such as 'what were they for?' are likely to remain unanswered for some while, but it is hoped that the five papers in this volume (discussing sites from Ireland to Romania) as well as presenting a large body of new data, will go some way towards shedding some light on the study of these enigmatic structures.

    This book focuses on the functional analysis of the lithic industries of Neanderthal caves of Grotta Breuil in Italy and La Combette in France. Through use-wear analysis of the stone artefacts, the conclusions were reached on the modalities of subsistence in the course of the Middle Palaeolithic and on behaviour and mental planning capacity of the Neanderthals.

    This book is related to the study of historical processes and transformations within peasant societies that occurred during recent Prehistory in the Spanish Northern Plateau. The work is focused on the Chalcolithic (3000-1900 cal BC) which remains poorlyunderstood in the area of the Arlanzón river valley because of its problematic archaeological record. The large amount of data collected over the last 30 years has led to new theoretical approach and research methodologies to explore the archaeological record. The recent finds have also generated discussion in historical terms of the material evidence.

    The Corinthian Aryballos, a perfume vessel, is the subject of this book and the author examines the place of the vessel within the cultural system of ties between East and West. Through an exhaustive artistic analysis of the vessel and all its characteristics, the author attempts to prove that the Aryballos can serve as a measure of the period between the 8th and 6th centuries BC. Corinth during this period was a dominant centre of ceramic production, more so than other important centres such as Crete orCyprus.

    Much of the material presented here first appeared in my doctoral thesis submitted in 1976, since when it has been updated and revised. I occasionally refer to the Thesis for more detailed documentation which has been omitted here.

    This is the second of a projected series of five important volumes presenting the results of excavations (1963-4) carried out at the Nubian site of Meinarti (near the Second Nile Cataract, about 10km to the south of modern-day Wadi Halfa). Occupation of the site covers some 18 levels, ranging from perhaps 200 AD to the early Post-Christian periods, or approximately 1600 AD. This second volume (following on from the analysis of the two first Phases - the Meroitic and Ballaña) carries the story forward through the Early and Classic Christian periods, designated as Phases 3 and 4. The work includes a summary in Arabic, a section containing 40 pages of b/w photographs, and material online (the back-cover pocket-inserts with seven separate plans/lay-outs). A comprehensive register of finds from Phases 3 and 4 is presented as an Appendix.

    Although oral narrations are the way in which history has survived in Mexican indigenous contexts, they have been long disregarded as a valid source of information for archaeological research. The Materiality of Remembering argues that orality as a tool for research does not only provide clues for exploring indigenous uses of space, but that these narrations become central when investigating the way materiality changes through the act of remembrance. It is then through oral histories that materiality becomes fluid-moves and changes-through the constant process of remembrance. Then, by exploring orality in Mixtla de Altamirano in the Zongolica Mountain Range, Flores-Muñoz provides a corpus of data that helps us explore the interwoven relationship established between people (in this case the Nahuas in Mixtla de Altamirano) and their material world in the process of accounting history.

    "Horace's Villa" is the name given to the site of a Roman country house near the hill town of 'Licenza' (Roma), which is located approximately 30 miles from the centre of Rome. The site remains in quotation marks as, although the identification is traditional and possible, it is by no means certain. The "Horace's Villa" Project, 1997-2003 was initiated with the main goal of adding to the knowledge of the site in terms of time and space. There were two main areas to be investigated, which could be called the 'meta-archaeological' and the 'archaeological'. The former entailed looking afresh at earlier investigations, while the latter offered opportunities to look at new discoveries, such as the baths, entrance, and the rural hinterland.This volume is part of a two volume set: ISBN 9781407300023 (Volume I); ISBN 9781407300030 (Volume II); ISBN 9781407300016 (Volume set)."Horace's Villa" is the name given to the site of a Roman country house near the hill town of 'Licenza' (Roma), which is located approximately 30 miles from the centre of Rome.

    Este libro investiga las sociedades célticas de la península ibérica a través de una vía comparativa y holística basada en la etnoarqueología, etnohistoria, folklore, historia del derecho y de las religiones, lingüística y literatura oral, en conjunción con los datos arqueológicos y los autores clásicos. La interconexión de fuentes de distinta naturaleza gracias a una estrategia transdisciplinar y los procesos de larga duración permite abordar numerosas prácticas y creencias presentes en las comunidades hispanocélticas. Este análisis aproxima los diferentes subsistemas económicos, sociales e ideológicos en la Hispania Céltica, desde los más contrastables arqueológicamente a aquellos menos perceptibles pertenecientes al mundo simbólico: tanto patrones de subsistencia, sistemas legales o modelos de estructura social, como la literatura céltica, los rituales o los paisajes míticos. Además, las diversas características comunes desde una punta a otra de Europa muestran la Edad del Hierro de una parte de la península ibérica como un mundo celtohispano polimórfico repleto de instituciones ancestrales y cosmovisiones de raigambre indoeuropea. Este volumen es parte de un conjunto de dos volúmenes: ISBN 9781407357485 (Volumen I); ISBN 9781407357492 (Volumen II); ISBN 9781407316703 (Conjunto de ambos volúmenes).
