Hellacious
Attacked. Fired. Betrayed. And that was before I got hit by a bus. Worst. Day. Ever. Now I'm learning about the biological father I never knew and what his DNA means to me. I was given a pass on death, but to avoid a one-way ticket to hell, I have to do something very dangerous. All I can say is… my life just got hellacious.
Butrint 5: Life and Death at a Mediterranean Port
This is the second volume arising from the 1994–2003 excavations of the Triconch Palace at Butrint (Albania), which charted the history of a major Mediterranean waterfront site from the 2nd to the 15th centuries AD. The sequence (Butrint 3: Excavations at the Triconch Palace: Oxbow 2011) included the development of a palatial late Roman house, followed by intensive activity between the 5th and 7th centuries involving domestic occupation, metal-working, fishing and burial. The site saw renewed activity from the 10th century, coinciding with the revival of the town of Butrint, and for the following 300 years continued in intermittent use associated with its channel-side location.

Roman Artefacts and Society
In this book, Ellen Swift uses design theory, previously neglected in Roman archaeology, to investigate Roman artifacts in a new way, making a significant contribution to both Roman social history and our understanding of the relationships that exist between artefacts and people. Based on extensive data collection and the close study of artefacts from museum collections and archives, the book examines the relationship between artefacts, everyday behavior, and experience. The concept of "affordances"--features of an artefact that make possible, and incline users towards, particular uses for functional artifacts--is an important one for the approach taken. This concept is carefully evaluated b...
Lived Spaces in Late Antiquity
This volume considers “lived space” as a scholarly approach to the past, showing how spatial approaches can present innovative views of the world of Late Antiquity, integrating social, economic and cultural developments and putting centre stage this fundamental dimension of social life. Bringing together an international group of scholars working on areas as diverse as Britain, the Iberian Peninsula, Jordan and the Horn of Africa, this book includes burgeoning fields of study such as lived spaces in the context of ships and seafaring during this period. Chapters investigate the history, function and use of different spaces in their own right and identify the social and historical logic p...

Archaeological Perspectives on the Transmission and Transformation of Culture in the Eastern Mediterranean
The eastern Mediterranean was the centre of trade for many centuries, sitting at the junction of what are now Europe, Asia and Africa. It was the place where exotic produce and products could be traded or exchanged for things that had their origins perhaps thousands of miles away. But wherever trade takes place, a similar exchange of ideas, technology and culture also occurs. This book presents thirty papers on this very subject, looking at the ways in which we can measure the transmission of culture, and how this transmission varied across time and space.
Roman Frontier Archaeology – in Britain and Beyond
Contributions by leading archaeologists and historians pay tribute to Paul Bidwell, admired for his ground-breaking work both in the south-west and the military north of Roman Britain. This collection will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in either the civil or military aspects of Roman Britain, or the frontiers of the Roman empire.
Highbridge
Welcome to Highbridge, where a lot of people live but they don't know why. Where a lot of people spend their lives waiting for the powers that be to wake up, sort out the mess created by the nanny state and rid the streets and school gates of dealers druggies and parasites. Brothers Joey and Sean Nolan were just like everyone else. Shrugging shoulders, moving on but hoping for change. Until the death of their sister convinces them they should wait no longer. While Sean decides to explore the routes and corridors of political power, Joey chooses more direct action in and among the alleys and pathways of the neighbourhood itself. But as the brothers follow very different avenues, it isn't obvious who is going to succeed. After all, doing right is not always right by the law.
