Cattle and People
This volume originates in a conference session that took place at the 2018 International Council of Archaeozoology conference in Ankara, Turkey, entitled "Humans and Cattle: Interdisciplinary Perspectives to an Ancient Relationship." The aim of the session was to bring together zooarchaeologists and their colleagues from various other research fields working on human cattle interactions over time. The contributions in this volume reflect well the breadth of work being undertaken on the ancient relationship between humans and cattle across the continents of Europe, Africa and Asia, and from the late Pleistocene to postmedieval period. Almost all involve the study of archaeological cattle remains and use different zooarchaeological methods, but the combination of these approaches with that of ethnography, isotopes and genetics is also featured.

Ibères, Grecs et Puniques en Extrême-Occident
Ce livre s'attache à faire connaître des objets souvent méconnus : les sculptures en argile d'époque préromaine d'Espagne et du Languedoc. Il permet en particulier de répondre à plusieurs questions. Quels types de terres cuites étaient employés par les Grecs, les Phéniciens et les Puniques de l'espace Ibérique ? Quels usages funéraire et cultuel les Ibères ont-ils faits de ces objets, produits localement ou importés ? Où, quand et comment ont été réalisés ces différents matériels ? Quels témoignages nous apportent-ils sur la nature des relations ibéro-grecques, ibéro-puniques et gréco-puniques ? Agrémenté d'un catalogue illustré des objets et d'un répertoire des sites sur CD-ROM, cet ouvrage permet d'aborder de façon novatrice la question des échanges culturels, stylistiques et iconographiques dans l'Extrême-Occident préromain, sous l'éclairage d'un matériel rassemblé ici pour la première fois.
Family and Empire
In the medieval and early modern periods, Spain shaped a global empire from scattered territories spanning Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Historians either have studied this empire piecemeal—one territory at a time—or have focused on monarchs endeavoring to mandate the allegiance of far-flung territories to the crown. For Yuen-Gen Liang, these approaches do not adequately explain the forces that connected the territories that the Spanish empire comprised. In Family and Empire, Liang investigates the horizontal ties created by noble family networks whose members fanned out to conquer and subsequently administer key territories in Spain's Mediterranean realm. Liang focuses on the Ferná...
