This study presents a new synthesis of ancient agriculture in northern England based on a large and completely new data set of charred seed assemblages from late prehistoric and Roman-period settlements, and sets them in their British and western Europe contexts. Written in straightforward, clear language it is aimed at both non-specialist archaeologists and botanists.

This volume records the first systematic archaeological reconnaissance of an area of Jordan extending from the Wadi ibn Hammad at the northern edge of the Lisan peninsula through the 'Ghor' and the northeast Wadi Arabah. It is an area that has been of interest to explorers and archaeologists for over 200 years; this survey builds on the 19th and earlier 20th century records to present an impressive account of the rich and varied archaeological heritage of the region. Extensively illustrated.

Report of excavations in an area immediately north-east of Beverley Minster, and bounded by the Dominican Priory. Its two-fold aims were to investigate the limits of the pre-Conquest settlement, and to examine the emergence of the Medieval street plan in this part of the town. Excavation revealed that the site overlay a natural pond which was only gradually filled. Subsequently the area saw continuous use for textile production and dyeing from as early as the late-eleventh century to the mid- to late-fourteenth century.

The fieldwork and analysis carried out for the Derbyshire Archaeological Advisory Committee in 1988-89 incorporated assessment of every monument in the Peak District which was recorded in the Couinty Sites and Monuments Record as a barrow or possible barrow. Aims included recording the present state of each monument and assessment of present and future threats, as well as assimilation of data from previous excavations. Many sites had not been visited for decades: others had to be reinterpreted, and new correlations between sites and antiquarians' excavation reports were made. The volume includes a thorough analysis of the barrows, with a detailed overview of extant sites and past excavations, multiphased barrows and a case-study of a bronze-age barrow at Hognaston, plus a comprehensive corpus of all sites.

Archaeology

This volume explores how and why people built enclosures in European prehistory, from their first appearance in the Neolithic to the creation of elaborate fortifications in the Iron Age. The articles here originated as a session at the Seventh Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists, in 2001, and are written by well-known prehistorians from around Europe. They bring new evidence from new discoveries, and new ideas about old discoveries, to a wider discussion of issues that affect archaeologists of all periods.

First published in 1985, this collection of essays has proved popular for those teaching archaeological field methods. It deals with methodological problems in a general way, but also illustrated by some case studies from both Britain and the continent, from regional strategies to the intensive study of a specific site.

Summer Farms (Sheffield Archaeological Monographs)

Summer farms occur throughout the world where there are rich pastures that can only be utilised for part of the year, mainly because they are under snow and ice during the winter. In Europe transhumance is often a major event when the cattle and other livestock leave their home villages and move up into the mountains, and likewise on their return. The best known sites in Europe are perhaps those found in the Alpine areas, but they occur everywhere where there are suitable highland areas to exploit. Traditionally they have been the subject of the studies of ethnographers and anthropologists, especially in the second half of the 20th century when technological and economic changes led to the gradual abandonment of the farms and to other ways of exploiting the highlands. The last of these farmers are gradually disappearing and with them the oral records and memories. Now it is archaeologists who are leading the recording of this material and also looking at the history of such farming from prehistory and from the Bronze Age with the rise in importance of 'Secondary Products' such as cheese which could be stored for use over winter. Much of the evidence can only be gathered by surface survey and by excavation, though in some cases there are good written sources which have yet to be fully exploited. This volume provides case studies, as well as brief summaries of other projects in Europe, extending from the Black Sea in the east to northern Spain and Iceland in the west, though with a concentration on the Alpine area. One thing that emerges is the very varied nature of these sites in terms of their chronology, who went to the farms, the distances travelled, and the other activities associated with transhumance such as mining. In some cases the products were primarily for the subsistence of the agricultural population, but in other cases they were traded and could produce a large amount of profit. This is the first overview of these sites in Europe written from an archaeological point of view.

Classifieds: An Anthology of Prose Poems

Retronesia: The Years of Building Dangerously is the first must-have guide to Indonesia’s most creative architectural period. Be inspired by the beauty and verve of 1950s and 60s Indonesia when professional architects were a rarity, but the talent pool was overflowing with adventurers. At a time when retro style revival has never been more popular, Retronesia cuts through cultural amnesia to celebrate virtually unknown treasures of mid-century Modernism across the archipelago.
This style atlas - systematically examines the cultural and political forces shaping design during 1950 to mid-1960s Indonesia – providing readers with over 50 curated destinations. Going beyond a travel guide, Retronesia has crafted oral histories into bite sized biographies to provide compelling accounts of public life and ambition. Carefully photographed, surviving examples cover the world of work, rest and play from classic public housing, futurist state institutions, once luxury townhouses and villas to the faded glamour of volcanic hill station retreats.
Retronesia is an unmatched resource for anyone wanting to see and do more with their travels in Indonesia.
