ARCHAEOLOGICAL METHOD AND THEORY, HERITAGE AND CONSERVATION ARCHAEOLOGIES OF TEXT Archaeology, Technology, and Ethics Edited by Matthew T. Rutz & Morag Kersel Scholars working in a number of disciplines routinely engage with ancient textual sources that are either material remains from the archaeological record or historical products of other connections between the ancient world and our own. Examining the archaeology- text nexus from multiple perspectives, contributors to this volume discuss current theoretical and practical problems that have grown out of their work at the boundary of the division between archaeology and the study of early inscriptions in twelve representative case-studies drawn from research in Asia, Africa, the Mediterranean, and Mesoamerica.

DEATH AND CHANGING RITUALSFunction and meaning inancient funerary practicesEdited by J. Rasmus Brandt,Håkon Roland & Marina Prusac

The forms by which a deceasedperson may be brought to restare as many as there are causesof death. The contributionspresented here focus not on

the examination of different funerary practices, theirfunction and meaning, but on the changes of such rituals– how and when they occurred and how they may be explained. Based on case studies from a variety of geographical regions and from different prehistoric andhistorical periods, a range of key themes are examinedconcerning belief and ritual, body and deposition, place,performance and commemoration, exploring a complexweb of practices.

DEATH EMBODIEDArchaeological approachesto the treatment of the corpseEdited by Zoë L. Devlin &Emma-Jayne Graham

Archaeological interpretationsof burial remains can oftensuggest that the skeletons whichwe uncover, and therefore usuallyassociate with past funerarypractices, were what was actually

deposited in graves, rather than articulated corpses. The choices made by past communities or individualsabout how to cope with a dead body in all of its dynamicand constituent forms, and whether there was reason to treat it in a manner that singled it out (positively or negatively) as different from other human corpses, providethe stimulus for this volume.

DEFINING THE SACREDApproaches to the Archaeology of Religion in the Near EastEdited by Nicola Laneri

Religion is a phenomenon thatis inseparable from human society. It brings about a set of emotional, ideological andpractical elements that are pervasive in the social fabric of

any society and characterizable by a number of features.these include the establishment of intermediaries in therelationship between humans and the divine; the construction of ceremonial places for worshiping thegods and practicing ritual performances; and the creationritual paraphernalia.

THE END OF THE LAKE-DWELLINGS IN THECIRCUM-ALPINE REGIONEdited by Francesco Menotti

After more than 3500 years ofoccupation in the Neolithicand Bronze Age, the manylake-dwellings’ around the Cir-cum-Alpine region ‘suddenly’came to an end. Why were the lake-dwellings finally aban-

doned and what exactly happened towards the end of theLate Bronze Age that made the lake-dwellers change theirway of life so drastically? The new research presentedhere draws upon the results of a four-year-long projectdedicated to shedding light on this intriguing conundrum.

HOPEWELL CEREMONIALLANDSCAPES OF OHIOMore Than Mounds andGeometric EarthworksBy Mark Lynott

Nearly 2000 years ago, peopleliving in the river valleys ofsouthern Ohio built earthenmonuments on a scale that is

unmatched in the archaeological record for small-scalesocieties. The labor needed to build these vast culturallandscapes exceeds population estimates for the region,and suggests that people from near (and possibly far) traveled to the Scioto and other river valleys to help withconstruction of these monumental earthen complexes.Here, in the first American Landscapes volume, Mark Lynott draws on more than a decade of research and extensive new datasets to re-examine the spectacular and massive scale Ohio Hopewell landscapes and to explore the society that created them.

RAINFED ALTEPETLModeling institutional andsubsistence agriculture inancient Tepeaca, MexicoBy Aurelio López Corral

Climate variability and humanmanagement strategies on cropstands were major factors thatfrequently affected agriculturalyields among indigenous pop-ulations from central Mexico.

This work seeks to model food production in ancient Tepeaca, a Late Postclassic (AD 1325-1521) and Early Colonial(16th century) state level-polity settled on the centralhighlands of Puebla, by applying a model that recognizes thepresence of two independent and interconnected formsof food production: subsistence agriculture and institutionalagriculture.

During the international conference ‘Settlement, Communication and Exchange around the WesternCarpathians’ held in Kraków in October 2012, attentionwas focused on the complex issues of long-term culturalchange in the populations surrounding the WesternCarpathians, with the aim of striking a balance betweenlocal cultural dynamics, subsistence economy and the alleged importance of far-reaching contacts, and commu-nication and exchange involved in this process. The objective was to contribute to a more holistic under-standing of prehistoric settlement strategies, adaptationto marginal environments, and the role of communicationfor prehistoric populations to the north and south of theWestern Carpathians.

GREEK ARCHAEODIETAND STABLE ISOTOPEANALYSISEdited by Anastasia Papathanasiou& Michael Richards

The analysis of stable isotoperatios of carbon and nitrogenin bone collagen provides a

powerful tool for reconstructing past diets, since it provides the only direct evidence of the foods that wereactually consumed. The articles describe the applicationof the methodology to the archaeology of Greece, a countrythat has been isotopically studied more extensively thanany other place in the world. The archaeological issuesthat can be addressed using stable isotope methods include the importance of fishing, the possible early introduction of millet, the nature of child-rearing includingweaning age and weaning foods, temporal shifts in protein consumption, differential access to certain foods associated with social status, as well as gender, age, and cultural differences in dietary patterns.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMAGINATIONS OF RELIGIONEdited by Thomas Meier & Petra Tillessen

This book does not aim at a “true”story of prehistoric belief, butrather an account of how eight different archaeologists imaginepast religions. It is their purpose to

observe and analyze how archaeologists think about that fuzzy thing called “religion.” Papers range from acomparative history of research to new interpretationalframes of hidden art. Authors question the established sacred-profane divide and explore the concept of liminality;they tear down the borders between humans and animals,the animate and the inanimate. Series Minor 31

DEALING WITH BIASESThree geo-archaeological approaches to the hidden landscapes of ItalyBy Hendrik Feiken

This books explores the bias that is introduced by erosion and sedimentation on the distributionof archaeological materials in

Mediterranean landscapes. It describes innovative and in-terdisciplinary work that led to the formulation of a broadrange of geo-archeological approaches that are applied totwo Italian areas, studied intensively by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology: the Pontine Region in SouthLazio, and the Raganello Basin in North Calabria. Thisbook shows how the three geo-archaeological approachescan be applied in a wider context to quantitatively understandhow erosion and sedimentation bias our understandingof archaeological records.
