The Archaeopress Blog
New for 2017, the Archaeopress Blog has been designed to offer a space for shorter articles on archaeology or related heritage topics. Authors of new or forthcoming Archaeopress titles have provided articles to introduce and contextualise their research, and we are now starting to attract articles to promote archaelogical activity beyond our own immediate publications (see St John Simpson of the British Museum’s piece about the Scythian exhibit via the link below). Perhaps you would like to highlight a small find on an excavation that won’t be fully reported until years from now; perhaps you are developing new models of research that are not yet ready for a journal article, but could still encourage interest and debate at this early stage; why not an opinion piece, conference report or a summary of local activity? The list goes on. Articles should be approximately 2,000 words in length with 4-8 accompanying illustrations, but please note this is just a guide and both shorter and longer articles would be considered. Please submit blog proposals to Patrick Harris at [email protected] Scan the QR code to read St John Simpson’s article The Scythians have arrived at the British Museum! or visit the blog address below.

Artemis and Her Cult Ruth M. Léger University of Birmingham
vi+178 pages; thirteen colour plates. Greek sanctuaries are among the best known archaeological sites in ancient Greece. However, after over 150 years of excavations and research we know surprisingly little about some of their aspects, such as the rituals enacted in the sanctuary, the nature of original local deities and how aspects of their character were assimilated into those of the Olympians, why sanctuaries were established in certain places, and how to determine who the sanctuary was established for when no epigraphical material is present. Artemis and Her Cult provides a first attempt to bring together archaeological and literary sources from two main Artemis sanctuaries, hoping to contribute to a clearer picture of her cult.

Lost and Now Found: Explorers, Diplomats and Artists in Egypt and the Near East Neil Cooke; Vanessa Daubney (eds) Association for the Study of Travel in Egypt and the Near East (ASTENE)
xx+295 pages; illustrated throughout with 42 plates in colour. Long distance travel and mass tourism are not recent phenomena. This collection of papers from the 2015 ASTENE Conference in Exeter demonstrates that over the centuries many individuals and groups of people have left the safety of their family home and travelled huge distances both for adventure and to learn more about other peoples and places. The 18 papers in this rich and varied collection include: finding the lost diary of a member of the Prussian scientific expedition to Egypt of 1842-45 that was hiding in ‘plain sight’ among other books; the illustrated journal of a Croatian travelling through Egypt, Nubia and Sudan in 1853-4 and the hardships endured; the competition between Officers of the East India Company to find the fastest trade routes through Syria between India and the Red Sea; and identifying the Dutch artist who made paintings of Constantinople and later travelled to India before joining the Bombay Artillery as a Lieutenant-fireworker.

Not just Porridge: English Literati at Table Francesca Orestano; Michael Vickers
xii+180 pages; illustrated throughout in black & white with 8 colour pages The essays presented in Not just Porridge address both the scholar and the bold, adventurous cook. They offer the crumbs of what might be found in great and famous works of literature. Concocted in Italy by scholars of English and sifted through the judgement of the English editor, this volume traces a curious history of English literature, from the tasty and spicy recipes of the Middle Ages down to very recent times, threatened as they are by junk food and microwaved dinners. The authors of the essays have lingered on the threshold of the kitchen rather than in the library. Each chapter provides the recipes that best describe the writers involved, and their culinary times. Paperback | ISBN 9781784915780 | 2017 | £20.00 PDF | ISBN 9781784915797 | 2017 | from £16.00
