This book provides unique insights into Late Neolithic life, its organization and its economy, made possible by an altogether exceptional collection of recent archaeological findings in South Scandinavia from longhouses with sunken floors dating from this period. Through analysis and interpretation of these comprehensive materials, Danish archaeologist John Simonsen presents brand new findings essential for many wider interpretations of this crucial and fascinating transitional period from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age (c. 2350- c. 1600 BC). The basic materials presented and discussed in Daily Life at the Turn of the Neolithic were mainly found during new archaeological excavations in the central part of the Limfjord region of Denmark, but, in terms of the wider perspectives and considerations, often relate to the entire region and in several respects also to South Scandinavia - and beyond.
Archaeologists are increasingly aware of issues of gender when studying past societies; women are becoming better represented within the discipline and are attaining top academic posts. However, until now there has been no study undertaken of the history of women in European archaeology and their contribution to the development of the discipline. Excavating Women discusses the careers of women archaeologists such as Dorothy Garrod, Hanna Rydh and Marija Gimbutas, who against all odds became famous, as well as the many lesser-known personalities who did important archaeological work.

I andet bind af Familiens Historier er vi kommet til Cæcilie Marie Iversen og hendes familie, og fokus er den sydlige del af halvøen med afstikkere til de tilstødende egne og tråde til forskellige dele af Tyskland. Hermed er vi rykket fra det nordlige Jylland, hvor hendes mand, Niels Kristian Christensen, stammede fra. Det var omdrejningspunktet i første bind i serien, som har titlen Bondeslægt med aner blandt rådmænd, præster og uradel. Cilia, som hun blev kaldt, var min farmor. Hun var født 1910 i Sønderborg, som dengang var i Tyske Kejserrige, og hun døde i 1976 i Oksbøl, efter at have boet flere steder i Jylland. Det nordligste vi kommer med Cilias aner er egnen omkring Ribe. Men det meste hendes slægt stammer fra Sønderjylland og nærmere betegnet Als og Broagerland. Kvinder fra Ribeegnen, Ærø og Helnæs på Vestfyn giftede sig ind i den sønderjyske familie. Det var egne, som enten var del af hertugdømmerne eller havde tætte handelsforbindelser hertil. Desuden havde hun aner i egnen omkring Magdeburg i det nuværende Sachsen og øen Rygen, der i dag er del af Mecklenburg Vorpommern.
