One of the only guides to the prehistoric archaeology of the Iberian Peninsula that engages with key anthropological and archaeological debates.
Leprosy
Through an unprecedented multidisciplinary and global approach, this book documents the dramatic several-thousand-year history of leprosy using bioarchaeological, clinical, and historical information from a wide variety of contexts, dispelling many long-standing myths about the disease. Drawing on her 30 years of research on the infection, Charlotte Roberts begins by outlining its bacterial causes, how it spreads, and how it affects the body. She then considers its diagnosis and treatment, both historically and in the present. She also looks at the methods and tools used by paleopathologists to identify signs of leprosy in skeletons. Examining evidence in human remains from many countries, p...
Current Approaches to Collective Burials in the Late European Prehistory
The articles in this volume provide examples of different approaches currently being developed on Prehistoric collective burials of southern Europe, mostly focusing on case studies, but also including contributions of a more methodological scope.
Isotopic Proveniencing and Mobility
This volume provides a state-of-the-art presentation and discussion of procedures, especially what works and what doesn’t — on isotopic proveniencing, learned over the last 30 years. The volume focuses on application, not method, to emphasize to the reader the wide range of questions that can be addressed using isotopic proveniencing. Topics covered include samples, baselines, isoscapes, and place of origin. Isotopic proveniencing has become almost standard procedure in the analysis of archaeological burials as a means of distinguishing locals from foreigners. The combination of isotopic proveniencing and DNA has moved archaeological interest in migration and mobility to the fore, but there is very little synthetic work published for either technology.The field has evolved and new procedures and guidelines have emerged that have not been widely heard and this volume seeks to rectify this. The contributors have been selected from among the leaders in the field, those with active research and hands-on experience with the technology. This volume is of relevance to archaeologists.
The Prehistory of Iberia
The origin and early development of social stratification is essentially an archaeological problem. The impressive advance of archaeological research has revealed that, first and foremost, the pre-eminence of stratified or class society in today’s world is the result of a long social struggle. This volume advances the archaeological study of social organisation in Prehistory, and more specifically the rise of social complexity in European Prehistory. Within the wider context of world Prehistory, in the last 30 years the subject of early social stratification and state formation has been a key subject on interest in Iberian Prehistory. This book illustrates the differing forms of resistance...

The Lives of Prehistoric Monuments in Iron Age, Roman, and Medieval Europe
This volume explores the pervasive influence exerted by some prehistoric monuments on European social life over thousands of years, and reveals how they can act as a node linking people through time, possessing huge ideological and political significance. Through the advancement of theoretical approaches and scientific methodologies, archaeologists have been able to investigate how some of these monuments provide resources to negotiate memories, identities, and power and social relations throughout European history. The essays in this collection examine the life-histories of carefully chosen megalithic monuments, stelae and statue-menhirs, and rock art sites of various European and Mediterra...

Forschungsfeld Sprachevolution
Das Forschungsfeld zur Evolution menschlicher Sprachbefähigung zeigt sich als in höchstem Maße multidisziplinär sowie methodisch und theoretisch heterogen. Diese Monografie verfolgt drei für die einschlägige Forschung relevante Ziele. Erstens werden für die Sprachursprungsforschung notwendige fachliche und methodische Grundlagen einführend aufbereitet. Zweitens wird ein Methodenkatalog erarbeitet, welcher sich aus allgemeinen Prinzipien der Wissenschaftstheorie, Qualitätskriterien etablierter (meta)wissenschaftlicher Vorgehensweisen sowie Leitlinien guter Literaturrezeption ableitet, um ein methodisches Instrument zum leistungsfähigen Umgang mit der einschlägigen Literatur vorzule...
(I)Mobilidades na Pré-história
(I)Mobilidades na Pré-história. Pessoas, recursos, objetos, sítios e territórios resulta do reconhecimento da mobilidade humana enquanto temática central na agenda da Arqueologia. Trata-se de uma obra plural, espelhada em contributos com distintas abordagens teórico-metodológicas, diversas referências empíricas, diferentes geografias e percorrendo uma larga diacronia. É esta dimensão holística e integrada que se exige ao estudo da mobilidade, um fenómeno complexo e multifacetado, mas de inegável importância para a compreensão das dinâmicas que marcaram as comunidades pretéritas, assim como as relações que estas estabeleceram, não só entre si, mas também com o território, dinâmicas essas materializadas em artefactos e estruturas, em paisagens construídas e vivenciadas deixadas ao devir do tempo. Mais do que um contributo sobre uma temática que explora caminhos divergentes, o livro pretende ser, também, um desafio, incitando os investigadores a darem continuidade a um tema repleto de potencial e relevância num mundo, nunca como hoje, em movimento.
