Their swords in particular were greatly admired by their em - ployers, who set their own swordsmiths to copy and adapt them.« 1 Since the publication of Hector Catling’s paper, which contains the above interpretation of Late Bronze Age relations between Mycenaean Greece and its north-western neighbours, various research ers have decisively contributed to a better understanding of the pro - cesses that lead 1) to the adoption of new types of weapons, armour, dress accessories and implements (often referred to as metallurgical koiné or »urnfield bronzes«) at the end of the Aegean Bronze Age and 2) to the local production of impasto pottery of Italian Recent and Final Bronze Age type in the Aegean and beyond. Thanks to the results of recent studies, we are provided with detailed typological arguments 2 that support the theory that the origin of those bronze and pottery types has to be traced back to Italy (figs 1-2).

    Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society 81, 2015, pp. 361–392 © The Prehistoric Society doi:10.1017/ppr.2015.17 Connected Histories: the Dynamics of Bronze Age Interaction and Trade 1500–1100 BC By KRISTIAN KRISTIANSEN1 and PAULINA SUCHOWSKA-DUCKE2 The Bronze Age was the first epoch in which societies became irreversibly linked in their co-dependence on ores and metallurgical skills that were unevenly distributed in geographical space. Access to these critical resources was secured not only via long-distance physical trade routes, making use of landscape features such as river networks, as well as built roads, but also by creating immaterial social networks, consisting of interpersonal relations and diplomatic alliances, established and maintained through the exchange of extraordinary objects (gifts). In this article, we reason about Bronze Age communication networks and apply the results of use-wear analysis to create robust indicators of the rise and fall of political and commercial networks. In conclusion, we discuss some of the historical forces behind the phenomena and processes observable in the archaeological record of the Bronze Age in Europe and beyond.

    This is my first attempt to write for others and what makes sense in my head did not always translate well when I wrote it down. As a result, I must give special thanks to Nikolas Lloyd better known perhaps by his YouTube handle – Lindybeige, for agreeing to critique this before publishing. Look him up for a plethora of informational videos, many of which touch on subjects dear to a certain bronze age fantasy role playing game. And to my much suffering wife Joanne, who drives word software way better than I do. Applefest is a work of fiction. All the characters created for Applefest are similarly fictitious and any familiarity with real people, living or dead, is purely coincidental… except maybe Groucho the catfish… he did seem familiar at the time of writing.

  • James Lowder's Games to Gift 2018
    JAMES LOWDER’S GAMES TO GIFT 2018 TOP PICK: AZUL PUBLISHER: PLAN B; DESIGNER: MICHAEL KIESLING 2–4 PLAYERS; 8 AND UP; $40 (SUGGESTED RETAIL) In Azul, players are artisans summoned by King Manuel I of Portugal to decorate the Royal Palace of Evora, using the Moorish art of decorative tile. Take turns selecting colored tiles, filling rows on your work board, and then transfer a tile to your section of palace wall. The game ends when the first player completes a horizontal tile row. Scores are based on the display, with points earned for patterns of aligned tiles, number of horizontal and vertical rows, and so on. Azul features simple, elegant rules, but potentially complex choices, as you can select tiles to complete your pattern or to force players choosing after you to select pieces that may go unused and end up costing them points. Gameplay is fast, with the full session taking only 30 to 45 minutes. Earlier this year, Azul won the prestigious Spiel de Jahres for game of the year, to almost no one’s surprise. Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra is a recent reimplementation, with players serving as stained glass window designers. It features translucent pieces in place of the original’s resin tiles and some additional rules. Both versions are wonderful.

  • Food, Economy and Social Complexity in the Bronze Age World
    22 Dalia A. Pokutta Food, Economy and Social Complexity in the Bronze Age World FOOD, ECONOMY AND SOCIAL COMPLEXITY IN THE BRONZE AGE WORLD: A CROSS-CULTURAL STUDY Dalia A. Pokutta1 __________________ 1Archaeological Research Laboratory University of Stockholm, Wallenberglaboratoriet, Lilla Frescativägen 7, 114 18 Stockholm, Sweden, [email protected] Abstract: Despite the fact that greater part of ingredients, such as dairy products or alcoholic drinks, were known al- ready in the Neolithic, food technology of the Bronze Age changed significantly. This paper aims to investigate prehistoric dietary habits and comment on the stable isotope values (13C/15N) of human/faunal remains from several large Bronze Age cemeteries in Europe and beyond. The human skeletal material derives from Early Bronze Age Iberia (2300–2000 BC), mainland Greece (Late Helladic Period III), Bronze Age Transcaucasia (the Kura-Araxes culture 3400–2000 BC), steppes of Kazakhstan (1800 BC), and Early Bronze Age China in Shang period (1523–1046 BC). The aim of this study is to determine distinctive features of food practice in the Bronze Age with an overview of economy and consumer be- haviours in relation to religion and state formation processes. Keywords: Bronze Age, prehistoric diet, isotopic analyses, Spain, Greece, Caucasus, Kazakhstan, China. Abstrakt: Jedlo, hospodárstvo a spoločenská komplexita v svete doby bronzovej. Napriek skutočnosti, že väčšia časť potravín, ako napríklad mliečne výrobky či alkoholické nápoje, bola známa už v závere neolitu, potravinová techno- lógia doby bronzovej sa výrazne zmenila. Táto štúdia skúma praveké stravovacie návyky a vyjadruje sa k hodnotám stabil- ných izotopov (13C/15N) v ľudských/zvieracích pozostatkoch z niekoľkých veľkých pohrebísk z doby bronzovej v Európe aj mimo nej.

  • I Am, As Ever, Indebted to Visionaries Such As Greg Stafford and Sandy Petersen for the Inspiration to Throw out My DMG and Do My Own Thing
    I am, as ever, indebted to visionaries such as Greg Stafford and Sandy Petersen for the inspiration to throw out my DMG and do my own thing. Somehow, however, I circle back to RuneQuest every time. The idea for this scenario broke at the same time as covid hit us. I made a flippant comment on a RQ page online that I had accidently written a scenario about a Malian priest with nineteen broo followers… I’m calling her Kovid. Someone else suggested that I publish it on Jonstown Compendium. Much editing and re-jiggering later, here it is. Her name really isn’t important though as you’ll find out if you read on. Thanks to my ex-employers for making me redundant and giving me the time to write this up and to my wife for forcing me to build an office in the house that made writing this so much easier. The art in this one is either mine or by Mike Hudson, you can tell which is which, his are the good ones.
