Enclosing Space, Opening New Ground
Enclosures are among the most widely distributed features of the European Iron Age. From fortifications to field systems, they demarcate territories and settlements, sanctuaries and central places, burials and ancestral grounds. This dividing of the physical and the mental landscape between an ‘inside’ and an ‘outside’ is investigated anew in a series of essays by some of the leading scholars on the topic. The contributions cover new ground, from Scotland to Spain, between France and the Eurasian steppe, on how concepts and communities were created as well as exploring specific aspects and broader notions of how humans marked, bounded and guarded landscapes in order to connect across space and time. A recurring theme considers how Iron Age enclosures created, curated, formed or deconstructed memory and identity, and how by enclosing space, these communities opened links to an earlier past in order to understand or express their Iron Age presence. In this way, the contributions examine perspectives that are of wider relevance for related themes in different periods.
Palaeohispanic Languages and Epigraphies
In addition to Phoenician, Greek, and Latin, at least four writing systems were used between the fifth century BCE and the first century CE to write the indigenous languages of the Iberian peninsula (the so-called Palaeohispanic languages): Tartessian, Iberian, Celtiberian, and Lusitanian. In total over three thousand inscriptions are preserved in what is certainly the largest corpus of epigraphic expression in the western Mediterranean world, with the exception of the Italian peninsula. The aim of this volume is to present the most recent cutting-edge scholarship on these epigraphies and on the languages that they transmit. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach which draws on the expertise...
Rethinking Roundhouses
Excavated plans of roundhouses may compound multiple episodes of activity, design, construction, occupation, repair, and closure, reflecting successive stages of a building's biography. What does not survive archaeologically, through use of materials or methods that leave no tangible trace, may be as important for reconstruction as what does survive, and can only be inferred from context or comparative evidence. The great diversity in structural components suggests a greater diversity of superstructure than was implied by the classic Wessex roundhouses, including split-level roofs and penannular ridge roofs. Among the stone-built houses of the Atlantic north and west there likewise appears t...

El Castiellu de Llagú (Latores, Oviedo)
Este trabajo presenta los primeros resultados de la excavación integral del llamado Castiellu de Uagú, un castro ovetense conocido más en la literatura y prensa relacionada con problemas de conservación del Patrimonio Histórico y Arqueológico que por sus aportaciones científicas. Por ello, este proyecto, auspiciado por la Real Academia de la Historia y por el Principado de Asturias, pretende aprovechar las especiales circunstancias coyunturales que concurrieron en ello para lograr la exhumación y publicación completa de este yacimiento castreño, un primer referente "moderno" para las interesantes excavaciones sistemáticas que, en los territorios astures, vienen realizándose en las últimas décadas (Campa Torres, Moriyón, Chao de San Martín, San Chuís, etc.).

The Routledge History of Genocide
The Routledge History of Genocide takes an interdisciplinary yet historically focused look at history from the Iron Age to the recent past to examine episodes of extreme violence that could be interpreted as genocidal. Approaching the subject in a sensitive, inclusive and respectful way, each chapter is a newly commissioned piece covering a range of opinions and perspectives. The topics discussed are broad in variety and include: genocide and the end of the Ottoman Empire Stalin and the Soviet Union Iron Age warfare genocide and religion Japanese military brutality during the Second World War heritage and how we remember the past. The volume is global in scope, something of increasing importance in the study of genocide. Presenting genocide as an extremely diverse phenomenon, this book is a wide-ranging and in-depth view of the field that will be valuable for all those interested in the historical context of genocide.

Nertobriga Concordia Ivlia. De oppidum céltico a municipium romano
Hace más de ciento cincuenta años que los estudios sobre el patrimonio arqueológico abandonaron sus ámbitos primigenios, el coleccionismo y el anticuarismo, por su faceta actual, netamente científica, a caballo entre las ciencias humanas y positivas. Este cambio se sintetizó en la principal diferencia de sus objetivos: de admirar y contemplar la belleza de las antigüedades se pasó a explicarlas y describirlas y, a través de ellas, a comprender las sociedades del pasado. Los importantes vestigios arqueológicos exhumados permiten a Nertobriga erigirse en paradigma con el que comprender la trascendencia de dichos cambios. Conocida desde tiempos inmemoriales por la rotundidad de su nom...
The Tiny and the Fragmented
Miniature and fragmentary objects are both eye-catching and yet easily dismissed. Tiny scale entices users with visions of Lilliputian worlds. The ambiguity of fragments intrigues us, offering tactile reminders of reality's transience. Yet, the standard scholarly approach to such objects has been to see them as secondary, incomplete things, whose principal purpose was to refer to a complete and often life-size whole. The Tiny and the Fragmented offers a series of fresh perspectives on the familiar concepts of the tiny and the fragmented. Written by a prestigious group of internationally-acclaimed scholars, the volume presents a remarkable diversity of case studies that range from Neolithic E...
