Fingerprinting the Iron Age: Approaches to identity in the European Iron Age
Archaeology has long dealt with issues of identity, and especially with ethnicity, with modern approaches emphasising dynamic and fluid social construction. The archaeology of the Iron Age in particular has engendered much debate on the topic of ethnicity, fuelled by the first availability of written sources alongside the archaeological evidence which has led many researchers to associate the features they excavate with populations named by Greek or Latin writers. Some archaeological traditions have had their entire structure built around notions of ethnicity, around the relationships existing between large groups of people conceived together as forming unitary ethnic units. On the other han...
Celtic Art in Europe
The ancient Celtic world evokes debate, discussion, romanticism and mythicism. On the one hand it represents a specialist area of archaeological interest, on the other, it has a wide general appeal. The Celtic world is accessible through archaeology, history, linguistics and art history. Of these disciplines, art history offers the most direct message to a wider audience. This volume of 37 papers brings together a truly international group of pre-eminent specialists in the field of Celtic art and Celtic studies. It is a benchmark volume the like of which has not been seen since the publication of Paul Jacobsthal’s Early Celtic Art in 1944. The papers chart the history of attempts to unders...
Recent Developments in Archaeometry and Archaeological Methodology in South-Eastern Europe
This volume presents papers given at the 3rd and 4th scientific editions of the conference “Methodology and Archaeometry” held in 2015 and 2016 at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb, Croatia. It covers topics in archaeometry and archaeological methodology, which represent an essential part of collecting and processing data, which defines the validity of archaeological interpretation. Contributions explore non-destructive archaeology (geophysics and field survey), different aspects of artifact analysis, and experimental archaeology. The text brings together new research from scientists from various disciplines based on a range of methodological, analytical and theoretical perspectives, thus providing new insights and approaches, as well as new theoretical and methodological frameworks in contemporary archaeological science.

Studia Praehistorica in Honorem Janez Dular
The book includes original scientific papers discussing the prehistoric themes of the southeastern Alpine and neighbouring regions by Slovenian and other authors, in which the results of new discoveries and researches in the individual regions, specific environments and analyses of individual sites or finds are presented. These articles are arranged chronologically and thematically. They shed light on the settlement pattern at the macro and micro levels (Šavel; Velušček/Čufar; Mele; Mlekuž/Črešnar; Mason), grave contexts (Ložnjak Dizdar, Gutjahr; Kmet'ová/Stegmann-Rajtár; Križ; Teržan; Dizdar/Potrebica; Cestnik; Belak), data recorded in archival sources (Grahek; Božič) or speci...
Cultural Encounters in Iron Age Europe
Cultural encounters form a dominant theme in the study of Iron Age Europe. This was particularly acute in regions where urbanising Mediterranean civilisations came into contact with 'barbarian' worlds. This volume presents preliminary work from the ENTRANS Project, which explores the nature and impact of such encounters in south east Europe, alongside a series of papers on analogous European regions. A range of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches are offered in an effort to promote dialogue around these central issues in European protohistory.
