This volume is part of a two volume set: ISBN 9781407388410 (Volume I); ISBN 9781407388427 (Volume II); ISBN 9780860544265 (Volume set).The Beaker problem is one of the oldest, and most celebrated, in European prehistoric archaeology.

Based on nineteenth-century travelogues and surveys, archaeological archives and the author's own excavations (described in a catalogue of 3,115 Byzantine sites), as well as on the hagiographic, patristic and rabbinic sources, this geo-historical study traces the dramatic demographic and economic expansion of fourth-sixth century AD Palestine. The evolving relations between its ethnic and religious components (Pagans, Jews, Samaritans, Judaeo-Christians, Orthodox, Monophysite and Nestorian Christians), are analyzed in depth, focussing on Christianity's struggle for supremacy. The author offers a new and exciting interpretation of the Decline and Fall of Byzantine Palestine, caused long before the seventh-century Persian and Arab Conquests, by technological stagnation, debilitating illnesses, an anaemia-inducing diet, famines, epidemics and recurring Plagues.This volume is part of a three volume set: ISBN 9780860549062 (Volume I); ISBN 9780860549109 (Volume II); ISBN 9780860549116 (Volume III); ISBN 9780860549055 (Set of all volumes).

Este libro es un informe sobre las excavaciones en el sitio del período azteca de Yautepec, en el estado mexicano de Morelos. Las excavaciones se centraron en las estructuras domésticas, particularmente su arquitectura y los depósitos ricos de basuras asociados. La mayoría de los residentes vivían en pequeñas casas a nivel del suelo construidas con ladrillos de adobe, mientras que las élites vivían en complejos más grandes y elevados con una arquitectura más lujosa. Además de las descripciones de las excavaciones y una nueva cronología detallada, el volumen incluye descripciones detalladas de vasijas y objetos de cerámica, herramientas de obsidiana, herramientas de piedra de moler y otros materiales. También se informan los resultados de estudios químicos de cerámica, obsidiana y artefactos metálicos, así como estudios de restos óseos humanos de enterramientos. Este informe arroja luz sobre los patrones de desigualdad y clase social, el comercio a larga distancia y las respuestas a la conquista azteca, al nivel del hogar. Es uno de los informes más completos publicados hasta la fecha en las excavaciones de un sitio del período azteca.Este volumen es parte de un conjunto de dos volúmenes: ISBN 9781407323794 (Volumen I); ISBN 9781407353586 (Volumen II); ISBN 9781407316895 (Conjunto de ambos volúmenes).This book is a report on excavations at the Aztec-period site of Yautepec, in the Mexican state of Morelos. Excavations focused on domestic structures, particularly their architecture and associated rich midden deposits. Most residents lived in small ground-level houses built of adobe bricks, while elites lived in larger, raised compounds with more luxurious architecture. In addition to descriptions of the excavations, and a new detailed chronology, the volume includes detailed descriptions of ceramic vessels and objects, obsidian tools, ground-stone tools, and other materials. The results of chemical sourcing of ceramics, obsidian, and metal artifacts is also reported, as well as studies of human skeletal remains from burials. This report sheds light on patterns of inequality and social class, long-distance trade, and responses to Aztec conquest, at the level of the household. It is one of the most complete reports yet published on excavations at an Aztec-period site.This volume is part of a two volume set: ISBN 9781407323794 (Volume I); ISBN 9781407353586 (Volume II); ISBN 9781407316895 (Set of both volumes).

Archaeometry 98 is the inaugural title in the Archaeolingua Central European Series. This first title, with its two large and important volumes, is based on 129 papers presented at the 31st International Archaeometry Conference held in Budapest. Archaeometry symposia in general are organized according to four main topics: investigation of biological materials, dating methods, field archaeology, technology and provenance of archaeological materials. The Budapest meeting selected experimental archaeology as its special field of interest, as this had seen some spectacular new achievements in the past few years. Because of the great number of papers, the editors decided to publish the proceedings in two volumes, following the structure of the meeting.This volume is part of a two volume set: ISBN 9781841714226 (Volume I); ISBN 9781841714233 (Volume II); ISBN 9781841714219 (Set of both volumes).

Inspired by a session held at the EAA conference in Vilnius in 2016, The Life Biography of Artefacts and Ritual Practice focuses on creating biographies from material culture as a means of understanding the relationship between the life of an artefact, the temporality of ritual practices and an object's final deposition. The temporal and geographic scope of these chapters range from Mesolithic Scandinavia, Neolithic practices found across Eastern, Central, Northern and Western Europe and stretches into the Eneolithic, Copper Age and early Bronze Age of central Europe. This volume explores the idea that one can create a narrative of an artefacts' life-biography by engaging various scientific methods and theoretical approaches. With a foreword by Joshua Pollard.

These two volumes present the results of studies and debates given at the 3rd Late Roman Coarse Wares, Cooking Wares and Amphorae Conference, held at Parma and Pisa in March 2008. They follow the LRCW1 (Late Roman Coarse Wares, Cooking Wares and Amphoraein the Mediterranean. Archaeology and Archaeometry edited by J. M. Gurt i Esparraguera, J.Buxeda i Garrigós and M.A. Cau Ontiveros, BAR International Series 1340, 2005) and LRCW2 (Roman Coarse Wares, Cooking Wares and Amphorae in the Mediterranean. Archaeology and Archaeometry edited by M. Bonifay and J.-C. Treglia, BAR International Series 1662 (I-II), 2007) Volumes and a few mid-term meetings of the Standing, Scientific and Organizing committees of the LRCW research network. Starting in March 2002, when the first Conference was organized in Barcelona, a great effort was made to ensure the continuity of these international meetings held every three years. Each time the results of more and more extended research are presented. Increasing numbers of papers document the success of this initiative: LRCW1 and LRCW2 included 48 and 73 papers respectively; in present volumes there are 105 papers. As at Barcelona and Aix-en-Provence, Marseille and Arles, many archaeologists (230 of 303 enrolled) took part in the Parma-Pisa Conference, coming from 25 different countries: 50 papers and 104 posters were presented. J.W. Hayes introduced the sessions which were summarized by M. Bonifay. The themes treated were: 1) production centres; 2) pottery distribution and consumption; 3) forms, function and contents; 4) regional contexts: Adriatic area; 5) the eastern Mediterranean; 6) Rome and Ostia; 7) Tyrrhenian Italy; 8) the western Mediterranean.This volume is part of a two volume set: ISBN 9781407307343 (Volume I); ISBN 9781407307350 (Volume II); ISBN 9781407307367 (Set of both volumes).

This is a study of the churches of Nobadia - the most northerly of the three medieval Nubian kingdoms. Since more than two-thirds of its territory has now been flooded by the successive Aswan dams, and much of the remainder has been surveyed by archaeologists, there is probably not a great deal remaining to be learned. The time therefore seems appropriate for a summary overview. Volume I begins with an introduction to the study as a whole, followed by descriptions of 67 churches of the Early Christian period, built between about AD 550 and 850, and 47 Classic Christian churches, built between about SD 850-1100. The second volume deals with Late and Terminal Christian churches (c. AD 1100-1500), as well as a comparative overview of the various features ofNobadian church architecture. These chapters are followed by a brief survey of the churches of Makouria and Alwa, and a final discussion of the dynamics of development and change.This volume is part of a two volume set: ISBN 9781407305349 (Volume I); ISBN 9781407305356 (Volume II); ISBN 9781407305363 (Set of both volumes).

Between 2002 and 2006 the Albanian Rescue Archaeology Unit excavated at Apollonia, one of the most important Archaic Greek colonies in the Mediterranean, and one of the three major sites of Albania, with Butrint and Durres. The city is located approximately 10 km from the Adriatic coast. This work presents the findings of this extensive site.This volume is part of a two volume set: ISBN 9781407305486 (Volume I); ISBN 9781407305493 (Volume II); ISBN 9781407305509 (Set of both volumes).
