Pilgrims in Place, Pilgrims in Motion Sacred Travel in the Ancient Mediterranean By Anna Collar and Troels Myrup Kristensen Exciting interdisciplinary scholarship on the theme of pilgrimage. Contributions investigate different aspects of pilgrimage: concepts of place, community, social tensions and expectations of pilgrim behaviour; long- term meanings of place as embodied in memory and topography; mobility, migration and place-making; connectivity and its relationship to pilgrimage. Chapters discuss shrines, sanctuaries and sacred places as well as journeys and mobility across Greek, Roman and late antique contexts, framed as part of a key debate within the study of pilgrimage, the central tension between place and motion.

Goddesses of Akragas A Study of Terracotta Votive Figurines from Sicily By Gerrie Van Rooijen Investigates the production, use and meaning of terracotta figurines from Akragas as votives and grave goods. The terracotta figurines from Akragas (Agrigento) with their chubby faces, splendid furniture, and rich adornments, depict a prosperous life in the late sixth and early fifth century BCE. Designing and dedicating these votive figurines, and possibly also jewellery, to a cult statue might have acted as a unifying element for the perhaps multi-ethnic society of Akragas. Their cultural influences formed a new religious setting, helping to forge a new identity unique to Sicily.

The Pursuit of Kindness An Evolutionary History of Human Nature By Éamonn Toland An evolutionary history of human nature. “Essential reading for anyone who cares about the past, but fears for the future.” – Francis Pryor Drawing from multidisciplinary studies, this book argues that throughout history, survival of the fittest meant survival of the kindest. Evidence from the Paleolithic shows that intergroup conflict was minimal, and population density was very low. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors probably had high rates of homicide, but a moral sense is hard-wired in us all, despite the influence by environmental factors. The author argues that recognising our commonality is the key to the pursuit of kindness.

Interrogating Networks Investigating Networks of Knowledge in Antiquity Edited by Lin Foxhall Interrogates the interpretative potential of network concepts for understanding the movement of ideas over time and space. Over the past decade network theory and methodologies have become central to exploring and explaining social, economic and political relationships and connections in past societies. The papers in this volume aim to interrogate the interpretative potential of network concepts for understanding the movement over time and space of ideas about how to make things through a range of archaeological case studies which reveal both functional and dysfunctional relationships.

Beyond Use-Wear Traces Going From Tools to People by Means of Archaeological Wear and Residue Analyses Edited by Sylvie Beyries, Caroline Hamon and Yolaine Maigrot Revives the debate on the role of traceology in multidisciplinary approaches that address archaeological questions. Studies that deal with material categories in isolation fail to reflect the integrated nature of technical systems. Exploring the interaction between different chaînes opératoires is crucial for a more global concept of the toolkit; it is a precondition for paleo-ethnographic reconstructions of technical systems and economies. Presented at the AWRANA conference in 2018, these papers bring together leading scholars in this field to explore topics ranging from social status and economy to mobility patterns and territories in a functional perspective.

Making Journeys Archaeologies of Mobility Edited by Catriona D. Gibson, Kerri Cleary and Catherine J. Frieman Explores new avenues of approach to the movement of people and ideas in the past. One route into exploring mobility in the past may be through exploring the movements and biographies of artefacts. In this book case studies explore the identification of patterns of movement, changing function and shifting meaning in the material culture of past people. It investigates the recognition and understanding of the significance of inter-site or off-site spaces within the occupied landscape, and examines evidence for movement on a variety of scales, both temporal and spatial.

Markets and Exchanges in Pre-Modern and Traditional Societies Edited by Juan Carlos Moreno García Examines the role of markets, traders, economic interaction and 'money' in pre-modern societies. Markets emerge in recent historical research as important spheres of economic interaction in ancient societies. Based on archaeological, anthropological and historical evidence, this volume intends to integrate different perspectives about the social organisation of transactions and exchanges and the different forms taken by markets, from meeting places where exchanges operated under ritualised procedures and conventions–to markets in which profit-seeking activities were marginal in respect with other practices that stressed, onthe contrary, community collaboration.

Reinventing Sustainability How Archaeology Can Save the Planet By Erika Guttmann-Bond Looks at the idea of a reintroduction of ancient technologies to create a more sustainable planet. This book is about sustainable agriculture and architecture in the past, and the engineering works that supported them, but it also looks to the future. Ancient technologies are what engineers define as ‘intermediate’, which means that they are often simple, low in cost and they depend on local materials. Significantly, they don’t require fossil fuels. The New Green Revolution is looking to traditional knowledge to solve problems of decreasing yields and environmental impoverishment, rather than to technology that is dependent on the diminishing resource of fossil fuels.

EAA 172: Excavations at Stoke Quay, Ipswich Southern Gipeswic and the Parish of St Augustine By Richard Brown, Steven Teague, Louise Loe, Berni Sudds and Elizabeth Popescu An examination of Ipswich as one of England’s oldest urban centres. Excavations at Stoke Quay provide new evidence about the urban fabric of Middle Saxon Ipswich. The remains demonstrate the setting out of plots, streets and buildings and show strong influences from Frankia and Scandinavia. The discovery of an exceptionally well-preserved Ipswich ware kiln is important since it indicates that production was dispersed across a wider area of the town than was previously suspected. This has potential implications for settlement linked to craft specialisation.

Interpreting the English Village Landscape and Community at Shapwick, Somerset By Mick Aston and Christopher Gerrard An original and approachable account of how archaeology can tell the story of the English village. The Shapwick Project examined the development and history of an English parish and village over a ten-thousand-year period. This was a truly multi- disciplinary project. Not only were a battery of archaeological and historical techniques explored – such as field walking, test-pitting, archaeological excavation, aerial reconnaissance, documentary research and cartographic analysis – but numerous other techniques such as building analysis, dendrochronological dating and soil analysis were undertaken on a large scale. The result is a fascinating study about how the community lived and prospered in Shapwick.

The Development of Neolithic House Societies in Orkney Edited by Colin Richards, Richard Jones and Contributions by Stuart Jeffrey Comprehensive discussion of Orknian Neolithic society based on major series of excavations. Considering that Orkney is a group of small islands lying off the northeast coast of the Scottish mainland, its wealth of Neolithic archaeology is truly extraordinary. Drawing on the results of an extensive programme of fieldwork in the Bay of Firth, this book explores the idea that the physical appearance of the house is a potent resource for materialising the dichotomous alliance and descent principles apparent in the archaeological evidence for the Neolithic of Orkney.

Monuments in the Making Raising the Great Dolmens in Early Neolithic Northern Europe By Vicki Cummings and Colin Richards A critical re-appraisal of the dolmen in Britain, Ireland, and Scandinavia. Dolmens are iconic international monumental constructions which represent the first megalithic architecture (after menhirs) in north-west Europe. This book provides a reappraisal of the ‘dolmen’ as an architectural entity and provides an alternative perspective on function. This is achieved through a re-theorising of the nature of megalithic architecture grounded in the results of a new research/fieldwork project covering Britain, Ireland and Scandinavia. The presence of human remains within dolmens is also critically evaluated and a new interpretation offered.

Distant Times So Close: Pandemics and Crises Reloaded Edited by Johannes Müller, Cheryl Makarewicz and Lutz Käppel Presents examples of pandemics from the perspective of prehistoric and ancient societies to understand how we can overcome crises today. Archaeology provides a crucial contribution to the social understanding of crises. Even diseases, such as pandemics in past societies, were and are observed by archaeology. This booklet presents examples of such pandemics, identifying the basic features of human behaviour for the management of crises and concluding that crises can only be managed by increasing diversity and social commitment. Learning from the past for the present – that is the task of international archaeology.

Hortfunde der Spätbronze- und Früheisenzeit Ein prozesslogischer Paradigmawechsel By José Eduardo M. de Medeiros A reconstructive approach that clarifies the cultural significance of jewellery hoards. Traditional archaeological views often emphasise the importance of warriors and their weapons, this book presents an approach showing jewellery and vessels can carry the same importance. This work shows that jewellery, vessels and weapons constitute different kinds of depositions (a.k.a. hoards), and that in addition, when these depositions are viewed in the religious context of the period, jewellery and vessels carry the same importance as weapons. This is contrary to the more common view that emphasizes warriors and their weapons, which the author demonstrates to be a male bias having psychological and sociological foundations.

The Viking Way Magic and Mind in Late Iron Age Scandinavia By Neil Price Examines the evidence for Old Norse sorcery, its meaning, function, and practitioners. This book examines the evidence for Old Norse sorcery, looking at its meaning and function, practice and practitioners, and the complicated constructions of gender and sexual identity with which these were underpinned.

50 ISLAMIC & MIDDLE EASTERN HISTORY

Islamic Origins, Arabian Custom, and the Documents of the Prophet By Sarah Z. Mirza Encourages a reconsideration of the concepts of authorship, literacy, and authenticity applied to medieval texts. Along with the Qura'n and hadith, pragmatic documents negotiating land, taxes, and tribal relations are attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (570- 632 CE) in early Islamic historiography. These are often viewed as relics reflecting the Prophet’s religio-political mission, or as anachronistic texts spuriously ascribed to him. This book challenges both conclusions. Laying out the formularies and formulae of around 200 such documents, these are compared to early Arabic papyri as well as older corpora including Aramaic conveyance documents, Sabaic letters, and Nabataean tomb inscriptions.

Authentic Writing By Jeffrey Rice Examines the rhetorical features of authenticity in order to expand the focus of scholarship. In typical academic circles, texts must be critiqued and shown to reveal larger, broader meanings than what are initially evident. But what if a scholar chooses instead to write without critique? Can scholarly writing be authentic if its topics comprise the everyday? Jeff Rice uses this question to trace a position regarding critique, the role of the scholar, the role of the personal in scholarship, the banal as subject matter, and the idea of authenticity.

The Human Touch By Elenor Ling, Suzanne Reynolds and Jane Munro Drawing on works spanning four thousand years and from across the globe, it explores the fundamental role of touch in human experience. Touch is our first sense. Through touch we make art, stake a claim to what we own and those we love, express our faith, our belief, our anger. Touch is how we leave our mark and find our place in the world; touch is how we connect. In a series of lavishly illustrated essays, the authors explore anatomy and skin; the relationship between the brain, hand, and creativity; touch, desire and possession; ideological touch; reverence and iconoclasm. A final section collects reflection – historic and contemporary – on touch.

Money and Power in Hellenistic Bactria By Simon Glenn An historically grounded study of the coins produced by the kings of the Graeco-Bactrian kingdom (3rd and 2nd c. BCE). The coins produced by the kings of the Graeco-Bactrian kingdom of the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC are the best and, in some cases only, primary source for the history of the period. The lack of context has, however, often led to highly speculative uses of the numismatic evidence in previous historical reconstructions. This book proposes a new, soundly based history of the Graeco-Bactrian kingdom under these kings based on a thorough understanding and suggested reconstruction of these enigmatic coins.

Vernetzte Bilder Münzen als Kommunikationsmittel im Kontext der Dynamik der Macht im westlichen Mittelmeerraum, ca. 500–100 v. Chr. By Ulrike M. Wolf An exploration into the relationship between coin images and power in the Western Mediterranean from 500 – 100 BCE. Greek coins from antiquity are famous for their elaborately executed design. In this book, Wolf demonstrates the usefulness of a discussion that focusses on the role coin images have played in the discourse of power of the Western Mediterranean area from 500 – 100 BCE. To understand the processes that lead to the emergence of these images on coins, Wolf combines quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis and applies a longue durée perspective. Starting with the local contexts of image production, she follows the supra-regional spread of the iconography in the Greco-Roman world.

Lunde Examines the rise of Sweden as the pre-eminent military power in Europe during the Thirty Years War. Sometimes pure military skill can propel a nation to prominence, if it is simply able to crush all its opponents on a battlefield. No better example arises than that of Sweden beginning in the 17th century, which held supremacy over northern Europe for 100 years without any technological, geographic or demographic advantages at all. Now publishing in paperback, this is the first purely military focussed publication on the Thirty Years War in English for over 40 years.

In this book Dr E.T. Fox explores how the ‘medieval’ rebels of the Devon and Cornwall militias fared against the German pikemen and Italian arquebusiers the government sent against them.

Cannon Played From The Great Fort Sieges in the Severn Valley during the English Civil War 1642–1646 By Richard Israel Examines the sieges of Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury during the First Civil War (1642-1646). The battlefields of Edgehill, Newbury and Marston Moor are superlatives with the middle of the 17th-century conflict known as the English Civil War, and whilst their importance to the conflict is undeniable, they detract from the power struggle that occurred between the Royalists and Parliamentarians throughout the land. This power struggle culminated in the construction of siege batteries and fortifications. Through historical and archaeological research this book demonstrates how siege techniques and this style of warfare impacted on the outcome of the conflict.

The Sieges of the '45 Siege Warfare during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745–1746 By Jonathan D. Oates A study of the sieges of eight fortresses in Scotland and England during the Jacobite rebellion of 1745–1746. There were more sieges than there were battles during the Jacobite campaign in Scotland and England in 1745–1746, yet no one work has concentrated on these episodes. Siege warfare was more common than set piece battles in Europe at this time and the ‘45 was no exception. This book examines the eight places which were under siege, examining the history and strength of the fortress or walled town, its garrison and the strength of the attackers, along with the artillery employed by both sides. It narrates each siege, using manuscript and published contemporary sources in order to do so.

WOMEN & WEAPONS IN THE VIKING WORLD AMAZONS OF THE NORTH

By Leszek Gardeła (National Museum of Denmark)

• Sets out to investigate the idea of 'the armed woman' in the Viking Age through a comprehensive and cross-cultural approach and weaves a nuanced picture of women's lives in the Viking world • The deeper meaning of weapons in the hands of females from the different categories of archaeological and textual sources has never before been exhaustively examined • By revising the cliché of a male-centered martial society, this book has the capacity to create solid foundations for a more nuanced conception not only of armed females (human and supernatural) in the Viking world, but also of the role of Scandinavian women in a more general sense

This pioneering and lavishly illustrated monograph provides an in-depth exploration of women's associations with the martial sphere of life in the Viking Age. The multifarious motivations and circumstances that led women to engage in armed conflict or other activities whereby weapons served as potent symbols of prestige and empowerment are illuminated and interpreted through an interdisciplinary approach to medieval literature and archaeological evidence from Scandinavia and the wider Viking world. Additional cross-cultural excursions into the lives and legends of female warriors in other past and present cultural milieus – from the Asiatic steppes to the savannas of Africa and European battlefields – lead to a nuanced understanding of the idea of the armed woman and its embodiments in Norse literature, myth and archaeological reality.
