Fire, Water, Heaven and Earth: Ritual Practice and Cosmology in Ancient - An Indo-European Perspective by Anders Kaliff Archaeological excavations of prehistoric Scandinavian graves and ritual sites often reveal seemingly enigmatic and contradictory features. Interpretation from a comparative Indo-European perspective allows a partly new approach to material which at first sight seems fragmentary and anonymous. The interpretations in this book proceed from cosmological beliefs occurring in various Indo-European traditions. The author discusses mortuary practices and votive customs in ancient Scandinavian tradition in a long-term perspective, with a comparative Indo-European approach. 216p, b/w and col illus.

Price US$36.00 Archaeology in the East and the West: Papers Presented at the Sino-Sweden Archaeology Forum, Beijing in September 2005 edited by Anders Kaliff The book presents papers from a conference that was held in Beijing on 26-27 September 2005, in collaboration between the Swedish National Heritage Board (NHB) and the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS). The conference marked a fresh start for archaeological collaboration between Sweden and China. There is a long tradition of cooperation between China and Sweden in the field of archaeology and both the conference itself and the present publication are further developments in this cooperation. This book is an overview of the work done by each country and institution in the field of archaeology and neighbouring disciplines. The papers describe archaeological projects and problems, such as urbanization processes and 'Neolithization', and the special sciences pursued in respective institutions: palaeobotany, osteology, archaeometallurgy, conservation, and digital survey methods. 302p, b/w and col illus.

Price US$24.00 Where the River Bends - Under the Boughs of Trees: Strandvägen, a Late Mesolithic Settlement in Eastern Middle Sweden by Tom Carlsson The publication focuses on the Strandvägen site located in the town of Motala, Östergötland, Sweden. The volume looks at what shaped the material expression at the site during five hundred years of the 6th millennium BC (5500 - 5000 B.C). Several empirical studies of the material culture are conducted and presented in order to compare their various spatial connections and social relations between individuals and groups. The changes in the Mesolithic cultures of southern Scandinavia nevertheless illustrate that these were part of a well-functioning network of long-distance contacts in which several important stimuli for change were transmitted. 380p, 65 b/w illus (Riksantikvarieämbetet (Swedish Heritage Board) 2008) Hardback.

Price US$36.00 The Ecology of Expansion and Abandonment: Medieval and Post-Medieval Agriculture and Settlement in a Landscape Perspective by Per Lageràs This book tells the story of society and landscape change in a marginal upland area of southern Sweden during the last millennium. The study reveals a fascinating interplay between periods of colonization and expansion on the one hand and periods of decline and abandonment on the other. By using palaeoecological analyses in combination with archaeological data and written records, the author places the local society in a larger context. From a landscape/ecological perspective, he discusses the medieval settlement expansion, the Black Death, iron production, the Little Ice Age, heathland formation, and the introduction of silviculture - topics that are relevant to large areas of northern and beyond. 256p, 52 b/w illus (Riksantikvarieämbetet (Swedish Heritage Board) 2007) Paperback.

Topics discussed are for instance forest composition, Mesolithic plant use, shore-line displacement, the introduction of cultivation, agricultural systems during the and Bronze Ages, and Bronze Age cosmology and society. 218p, 50 b/w illus.

Price US$30.00 Stone Age Scania by Magnus Andersson, Per Karsten, Bo Knarrström and Mac Svensson Few national bodies carrying out archaeology ever attempt to synthesise their work which is a shame if this book is in any way typical of this type of approach. Published by the Excavations Department at the Swedish National Heritage Board, this book represents a synthesis of up-to-date research and re-evaluation of studies focusing on the Stone Age in Scania. Beyond its reconstruction of the cultural history of this period, it also addresses many issues concerned with the methodology of contract archaeology and how it differs from university-based research. Covering a long period from the first settlers in Scania c.12,000 BP to the end of the Middle Neolithic c.4300 BP, each chapter is written by a different author(s) and contains lots of photographs, drawings and maps.
