In Wolf's Clothing
A thriller in a western setting which embraces every known cliché of the genre, dips them in cynicism, and hurls them right back at you. 1870's Wyoming, and the town of Limon is booming. Mining and cattle; and now the railroad, desperate for the revenue. With their grading crews slamming down the track and the construction gangs throwing up the new railhead and stockyards, the place is just bursting at the seams. Tradesmen and tramps; bankers and bums; the hopeful and the hopeless, all jostling with the corrupt and the immoral for a piece of the action in a wide open town just dripping with opportunity. Which is how the Great and the Greedy like it - up to a point. Now they plan to hold on ...
Land and People
This volume is derived, in concept, from a conference held in honour of John Evans by the School of History and Archaeology and The Prehistoric Society at Cardiff University in March 2006. It brings together papers that address themes and landscapes on a variety of levels. They cover geographical, methodological and thematic areas that were of interest to, and had been studied by, John Evans. The volume is divided into five sections, which echo themes of importance in British prehistory. They include papers on aspects of environmental archaeology, experiments and philosophy; new research on the nature of woodland on the chalklands of southern England; coasts and islands; people, process and ...
Wicked Problems for Archaeologists
'Wicked Problems' are those problems facing the planet and its inhabitants, present and future, which are hard (if not impossible) to resolve and for which bold, creative, and messy solutions are typically required. The adjective 'wicked' describes the mischievous and even evil quality of these problems, where proposed solutions often turn out to be worse than the symptoms. This wide-ranging and innovative book encourages readers to think about archaeology in an entirely new way, as fresh, relevant, and future-oriented. It examines some of the novel ways that archaeology (alongside cultural heritage practice) can contribute to resolving some of the world's most wicked problems, or global cha...

History of Universities

The volume is, as always, a lively combination of original research and invaluable reference material.
Alternative Iron Ages
Alternative Iron Ages examines Iron Age social formations that sit outside traditional paradigms, developing methods for archaeological characterisation of alternative models of society. In so doing it contributes to the debates concerning the construction and resistance of inequality taking place in archaeology, anthropology and sociology. In recent years, Iron Age research on Western Europe has moved towards new forms of understanding social structures. Yet these alternative social organisations continue to be considered as basic human social formations, which frequently imply marginality and primitivism. In this context, the grand narrative of the European Iron Age continues to be defined...
