Němčice and Staré Hradisko
The lowland open settlement of Nemcice and the oppidum of Staré Hradisko belong to the most important production and trade centres of the Late Iron Age - La Tene period in central Europe. Besides significant manufacturing activities such as coinage both sites provided large quantities of La Tene glass associated with evidence of local glass-working. This volume offers a detailed analysis of glass from both sites, including typological classification, discussing the provenance, distribution and chronology of glass objects, and assessing their significance as markers of cultural identities of the La Tene population.
Militarism and the Indo-Europeanizing of Europe
This book contends that Indo-European languages came to Greece, central Europe, southern Scandinavia and northern Italy no earlier than ca. 1600 BC, brought by the first military men whom Europeans had seen. That the Greek, Keltic, Italic and Germanic sub-groups of Indo-European originated in the middle of the second millennium BC is a controversial idea. Most Indo-Europeanists date the origin a thousand years earlier, and some archaeologists would place it before 5000 BC, as agriculture spread through Europe. Here Robert Drews argues that the Indo-European languages came into Europe via military conquests, and that militarism – a man’s pride in his weapons and in his status as a warrior - began with the employment of horse-drawn chariots in battle.
