LBK realpolitik : an archaeometric study of conflict and social structure in the Belgian early Neolithic /
:
The causes and consequences of violence and warfare have long interested social scientists, historians, and philosophers. While economic motivations for conflict are among the most commonly discussed drivers of human violence, prehistorians have often downplayed economic factors when studying non-state society. This volume explores linkages between conflict and socioeconomic organization during the early Neolithic of eastern Belgium (c.5200-5000 BC), using compositional analysis of ceramics from Linienbandkeramik villages to assess production organization and map intercommunity connections against the backdrop of increasing evidence for conflict.

Mosaici funerari tardoantichi in Italia : repertorio e analisi /
:
The potential of tomb mosaics as an academic resource has often been underestimated and consequently they have only been partially analysed not only in Italy but also throughout the Western Mediterranean. This work is intended to shed a new light on these finds, which are often incomplete, lost, or little studied.

Mapping Doggerland : the Mesolithic landscapes of the Southern North Sea /
:
12,000 years ago the area that now forms the southern North Sea was dry land: a vast plain populated by Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. By 5500 BC the entire area had disappeared beneath the sea as a consequence of rising sea levels. Until now, this unique landscape remained hidden from view and almost entirely unknown. The North Sea Palaeolandscape Project, funded by the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, have mapped 23,000 km2 of this 'lost world' using seismic data collected for mineral exploration. 'Mapping Doggerland' demonstrates that the North Sea covers one of the largest and best preserved prehistoric landscapes in Europe.

Tracing pottery-making recipes in the prehistoric Balkans 6th-4th millennia BC /
:
This is a collection of 12 chapters that capture the variety of current archaeological, ethnographic, experimental and scientific studies on Balkan prehistoric ceramic production, distribution and use. The Balkans is a culturally rich area at the present day as it was in the past. Pottery and other ceramics represent an ideal tool with which to examine this diversity and interpret its human and environmental origins. Consequently, Balkan ceramic studies is an emerging field within archaeology that serves as a testing ground for theories on topics such as technological know-how, innovation, craft tradition, cultural transmission, interaction, trade and exchange. This book brings together diverse studies by leading researchers and upcoming scholars on material from numerous Balkan countries and chronological periods that tackle these and other topics.

al-Mawāqiʻ al-tārīkhīyah bi-Misr ̣: al-atlạs al-shāmil wa-al-kitāb al-iliktrūnī /

"This work is based upon and retrieved from the 'Geographic Information System' (GIS) and the database that were created through the Egyptian Antiquities Information System (EAIS) project in the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA). The objective of this project is to gradually develop a comprehensive official documentation of historical sites in all the governorates of Egypt, and consequently to provide realistic and coherent site information, not only to researchers, but primarily to governmental agencies, which would use this information in protecting and managing the sites. The Cahiers consists of two parts: The first part, in paper format, contains introductory manuals, attribute tables of all sites, satellite images, topographical maps and keys of cadastral maps covering the whole governorate. The second part, in digital format (CD), contains an individual descriptive Cahiers for each site, sorted by markaz, and including detailed maps and information about the history, archaeological contents, legal status, state of preservation, and bibliography of each site"--Book jacket. :
