A Corpus of Greek Graffiti from Dalmatia
A stunning corpus of some six hundred and fifty Greek graffiti and inscribed artifacts. This volume catalogs artifacts from sixteen sites along the eastern coast of the upper Adriatic, with items dating from the late sixth century to the first century BCE. The majority of the artifacts come from the two sanctuaries of Diomedes, on the central Adriatic islet of Palagruza and the windswept Cape Ploca. As texts, the materials covered in the volume offer insights into dialect usage and letterforms, and the contributors also make comparisons with material from related sites elsewhere.

Pharos the Parian Settlement in Dalmatia
Oxbow says: In the early 8th century BC a Greek colony was established by the Parians on the island of Hvar in the Adriatic Sea, off the coast of modern Croatia. This volume presents a synthesis of what is known of this Greek colony gleaned from archaeological, written, epigraphic and numismatic sources.

The Archaeological Heritage of Vis, Biševo, Svetac, Palagruža and Šolta
The third volume in The Adriatic Islands Project , The work utilises, essentially, the same research methodologies developed for survey on Hvar and Brae. The continuing reliance of project staff on complex computer technologies to store and analyse the large project databases also remains, and the impact of the increasing sophistication of these technologies for display of data can be seen in this publication. This book, covering prehistory to medieval times, is divided into two parts, reflecting the diverse nature of the areas under study.

Sacred Darkness
Caves have been used in various ways across human society but despite the persistence within popular culture of the iconic caveman, deep caves were never used primarily as habitation sites for early humans. Rather, in both ancient and contemporary contexts, caves have served primarily as ritual spaces. In Sacred Darkness, contributors use archaeological evidence as well as ethnographic studies of modern ritual practices to envision the cave as place of spiritual and ideological power and a potent venue for ritual practice. Covering the ritual use of caves in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, Mesoamerica, and the US Southwest and Eastern woodlands, this book brings together case studies by prominent scholars whose research spans from the Paleolithic period to the present day. These contributions demonstrate that cave sites are as fruitful as surface contexts in promoting the understanding of both ancient and modern religious beliefs and practices. This state-of-the-art survey of ritual cave use will be one of the most valuable resources for understanding the role of caves in studies of religion, sacred landscape, or cosmology and a must-read for any archaeologist interested in caves.
