Daily life at the turn of the neolithic
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.

Die Beile in Polen
Dieser Band ist als Erganzung zu den bisher erschienenen Arbeiten uber die Flachbeile, Randleistenbeile und Randleistenmeissel (PBF IX, 16 [1987]) bzw. die Tullenbeile (PBF IX, 21 [1998]) sowie den in Vorbereitung befindlichen Band uber die Absatz- und Lappenbeile in Polen gedacht. Das zeitliche Spektrum der vorgelegten Artefakte reicht vom Neolithikum bis in die fruhe Eisenzeit. Besondere Bedeutung kommt den in grosser Vielfalt und Haufigkeit auftretenden Eisenaxten und -beilen der Lausitzer Kultur zu, die den Eisenreichtum der spaten Lausitzer Kultur dokumentieren, der sonst nicht sichtbar wurde. Dadurch wird auch die wichtige Problematik des Aufkommen der Eisenmetallurgie in diesem Raum angesprochen.
Histories of Laughter and Laughter in History
Laughter is often no laughing matter, and, as such, it deserves continued scholarly attention as a social, cultural and historical phenomenon. This collection of essays is a meeting ground for scholars from several disciplines, including historians, philologists, and scholars of social sciences, to discuss places and roles of laughter in history, in historical narratives, and in cultural anthropology from prehistory to the present. The common foci of the papers gathered in this volume are to examine laughter and its meanings, to reflect on the place of laughter in Western history and literature, to disclose laughter’s manipulative potential in historical and literary narratives, to see it in the light of the concepts of carnivalesque and playfulness, to see it as a reflection of hysterical historicizing, to see its place in comedy, farce, grotesque and irony, and to see it against its broadly understood theoretical, philosophical and psychological aspects. The book will appeal chiefly to an academic readership, including students, historians, literary and cultural scholars, sociologists, and cultural anthropologists.
Settlement, Communication and Exchange around the Western Carpathians
This volume focuses on the complex issues of long-term cultural change in the populations surrounding the Western Carpathians, with the aim of striking a balance between local cultural dynamics, subsistence economy and the alleged importance of far-reaching contacts, and communication and exchange involved in this process.
Die Fibeln in Polen
Aus Polen sind knapp 500 bronze- und alter-eisenzeitlichen Fibeln (Broschen) des 13. bis 5. Jh. v. Chr. bekannt. Sie werden in diesem Band vorgelegt und im Hinblick auf Funktion, Chronologie und Verbreitung untersucht. Die Einleitung bringt Darstellungen zur Funktion (Alltags- bzw. Festtracht; Reprasentation, Kult?) und Herstellung, Forschungsgeschichte und Quellenlage sowie einen Uberblick uber die Entwicklung der Fibeln in Polen und ihre regionalen Beziehungen. In der Bronze- wie in der alteren Eisenzeit lassen sich einzelne Formen nachweisen, die nur in Teilgebieten Polens vorkommen und offenbar aus einer oder wenigen ortlichen Werkstatten stammen. Wahrend der alteren Eisenzeit zeichnen sich besonders in Sudpolen Beziehungen zum sudmitteleuropaischen Hallstattkreis, aber auch bis Norditalien ab. In zwei Anhangen werden Doppelspiralscheiben mit spiraligem Verbindungsstuck sowie sog. Mantelschliessen behandelt.
