Star Carr Volume 1
This first volume of Star Carr provides an interpretation of the Star Carr site, one of the most important Mesolithic sites in Europe. Discovered in the late 1940s by John Moore and then excavated by Grahame Clark from 1949-1951, the site is famous in the archaeological world for its wealth of rare organic remains, including significant wooden artefacts. However, since the original excavations there has been much debate about how the site was used: was it a residential base camp, a hunting camp or even a ritual site? The 2003-2015 excavations directed by Conneller, Milner and Taylor aimed to answer these questions. In use for around 800 years, the Star Carr site is much larger and more compl...
Vom Germanenerbe zum Urkommunismus
Die in vielen Museen der DDR präsentierte „Geschichte der Urgesellschaft" war ein fester Bestandteil des nationalen Geschichtsbilds des „Arbeiter- und Bauernstaats" und unterstützte die historische Legitimierung der SED-Diktatur. Allerdings besaß die sozialistische Urgeschichtserzählung mit dem in der NS-Zeit propagierten Bild der „Germanischen Vorzeit" ein ideologisch hoch belastetes Erbe. Die Museen standen angesichts des politisch verordneten Antifaschismus vor der Aufgabe, in ihren Ausstellungen den narrativen Turn vom „germanischen" zum marxistischen Urgeschichtsbild zu meistern. Entlang eines umfangreichen Korpus an Ausstellungsfotos analysiert die Studie die museale Darstellung der Urgeschichte in der SBZ und DDR sowie die Diskurse, die zum Wandel oder zur Beständigkeit von Geschichtsbildern führten.

The Bronze Age in Europe
This book provides an account of the development of European culture and society during the Bronze Age, the time span between c. 2000 and 700 BC. It was a period of remarkable innovation, seen for instance in the development and growth of metallurgy as a major industry, the spread of trading contacts, the origins of urbanism and the beginnings of social stratification. The study is divided chronologically into two, the earlier and later Bronze Age, giving a clear picture of the nature of the radical changes which occurred in the period as a whole. The geographical area covered, from the Atlantic shores across Europe into the Soviet Union and from northern Scandinavia to the Mediterranean, is...

European Societies in the Bronze Age
The Bronze Age, roughly 2500 to 750 BC, was the last fully prehistoric period in Europe and a crucial element in the formation of the Europe that emerged into history in the later first millennium BC. This book focuses on the material culture remains of the period, and through them provides an interpretation of the main trends in human development that occurred during this timespan. It pays particular attention to the discoveries and theoretical advances of the last twenty years that have necessitated a major revision of received opinions about many aspects of the Bronze Age. Arranged thematically, it reviews the evidence for a range of topics in cross-cultural fashion, defining which major characteristics of the period were universal and which culture and area-specific. The result is a comprehensive study that will be of value to specialists and students, while remaining accessible to the non-specialist.
