approach. It argues that the ancient Egyptian state encouraged an increasingly better document and more efficiently exact taxes for redistribution. The increased use of writing, however, also resulted in increased documentation and enforcement of private property titles and transfers, gradually lowering their transaction costs relative to redistribution. The book also argues that the increasing use of silver as a unified measure of value, medium of exchange, and store of wealth also lowered transaction costs for high value exchanges. The increasing use of silver in turn allowed the state to exact transfer taxes in silver, provided it with an economic incentive to further document and enforce private property titles and transfers.

Language in Prehistory Alan Barnard University of Edinburgh

Taking an anthropological perspective, Alan Barnard explores the evolution of language by investigating the lives and languages of modern hunter-gatherers.

‘A refreshingly open-minded book on one of the most exciting debates of our time.’

Chris Knight, University College London

This book presents key case studies for human and technological mobility across the eastern Mediterranean in later prehistory. It will be of interest primarily to Mediterranean archaeologists, though also to historians and anthropologists, as this region has been such a crucial theatre for exploring questions of mobility in archaeology generally.

The resulting ‘anthropology of archaeology’ highlights the connections between past and present in west-central and southern Africa. ‘… the almost total lack of prior archaeological work in the Tong hills, and the relative lack of such research across much of northern Ghana, makes this an important contribution to regional history …’

Archaeology of the Americas / Egyptology The Archaeology and History of Colonial Mexico Mixing Epistemologies Enrique Rodríguez-Alegría University of Texas, Austin

This is a study of life in two radically different sites in colonial Mexico: Mexico City, the focus of Spanish colonization, and Xaltocan, an indigenous town.

Topics include the adoption of foreign material culture by Spaniards and by indigenous people, technological change, food, clothing, and patterns of change after the Spanish conquest.

on religious concepts, ritual practice, language and style. The overarching aim is to categorise the nature of divinity according to its Greek or Egyptian elements, examining earlier Greek and Egyptian sources and religious-magical traditions in order to find textual or conceptual parallels. Are the gods of the magical hymns Greek or Egyptian in nature? Did the magical hymns originate in a Greek or Egyptian cultural background? The book tries to answer these questions and to shed light on the religious plurality and/or fusion of the two cultures in the treatment of divinity in the Greek magical papyri.

Magical Hymns from Roman Egypt A Study of Greek and Egyptian Traditions of Divinity Ljuba Merlina Bortolani Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Germany

This interdisciplinary study investigates the divine personas in the so-called magical hymns of the Greek magical papyri which, in a corpus usually seen as a significant expression of religious syncretism with strong Egyptian influence, were long considered to be the ‘most authentically Greek’ contribution. Fifteen hymns receive a line-by-line commentary focusing

It traces the emergence of urban features during the Predynastic period up to the disintegration of the powerful Middle Kingdom state (c.3500–1650 BC). ‘[A] must-have study of the urban character of Egypt … Incorporating many of Egypt’s most recent discoveries and research, this is an essential work on urbanization in early complex societies.’

Land and Taxes in Ptolemaic Egypt An Edition, Translation and Commentary for the Edfu Land Survey (P. Haun. IV 70) Edited and translated by Thorolf Christensen University of Cambridge

Dorothy J. Thompson Girton College, Cambridge

and Katelijn Vandorpe Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium

This book provides the first edition with an extensive introduction and full commentary of a unique land survey written on papyrus in Greek which derives from that area of southern (Upper) Egypt known as the Apollonopolite (or Edfu) nome and is now preserved in Copenhagen. Dating from the late second century BC, this survey provides a new picture of both landholding and taxation in the area which differs significantly from that currently accepted. The introduction sets this new evidence in its contemporary context, drawing particular attention to what it reveals about the nature of the relations of the Ptolemaic royal administration with local grandees, Egyptian temples and the army. No student of Hellenistic Egypt can afford to ignore this text, which importantly extends our knowledge of Upper Egypt under the Ptolemaic kings and involves some modification to the prevailing

Fourteen historians and archaeologists come together to tackle the role of the western Mediterranean in what is conventionally known as ‘Hellenistic’ history. Their essays challenge the centrality of the East in the ‘Hellenistic World’, the focus on Rome in accounts of the West, and the concept of the ‘Hellenistic’ itself. ‘… this valuable volume can be studied by scholar and student alike for its examination of the Hellenistic and Hellenism. With its different methodological approaches, places, and periods examined, [it] could provide a rich and far-reaching foundation for examining and re-examining our notions of the Hellenistic West, perhaps in a graduate course. That would be a course I would want to take.’

The Roman West, AD 200–500 An Archaeological Study Simon Esmonde Cleary University of Birmingham

The traditional story of the decline and fall of the western Roman Empire has been derived from the written evidence. In this book, the development of archaeology with different sources and new analyses allows an alternative reading of events and a critique of notions of ‘crisis’ and ‘decline and fall’.

‘Esmonde Cleary begins by declaring his intention to ‘emancipate archaeology from the role of servant’.

In this, he can consider himself successful … [his] achievement is to put the two types of evidence on a level-footing, showing that they should be interrogated according to their own merits, rather than expected to fit into pre-determined, often incompatible, frameworks … As such, while this book will be greatly appreciated by experienced archaeologists, it is also a good guide for non-archaeologists who want to use the discipline to strengthen their work, but who might be hampered by the changing schools of thought or misled by the generalisations of earlier works.’

Ostia in Late Antiquity is the first book to narrate the life of Ostia Antica, Rome’s ancient harbor, during the later empire, a period often synonymous in popular imagination with the ‘fall of Rome’. Drawing on new archaeological research, including the author’s own, this book offers a dynamic picture of what it was like to live during this transformative period. ‘… a very welcome development and begins to fill an important gap in the study of ancient Ostia. Boin skilfully weaves together material and textual evidence to show theories that Ostia experienced ‘decline’ or rapid Christianization in the third and fourth centuries are generally unfounded.’

The possibilities raised are of great importance, and in its legitimate concern to evoke the day-to-day realities of life in slavery [this] book is to be warmly applauded … The challenge of recovering a history of slavery from archaeological evidence has been laid down, and it is in this that the book’s special value lies.’

Also of interest Injury and Trauma in Bioarchaeology Interpreting Violence in Past Lives Rebecca C. Redfern Museum of London

This book provides a critical examination of the sources of social science, clinical and archaeological evidence that bioarchaeologists use to study injury in past communities. Redfern explores the consequences of violence in a bioarchaeological context, highlighting how its evidence can shed new light on

the hierarchies and social relationships of past societies.

‘With Injury and Trauma in Bioarchaeology Redfern skilfully illustrates the potential of a truly bio-cultural approach to the skeletal record. Her interdisciplinary analysis, elegantly integrating knowledge and insights from medicine, social science and ecology, conveys the evolution and diversity of interpersonal violence on a global scale. Rich in exemplary case studies and illustrations, the volume takes us beyond the ‘when’, ‘where’ and ‘how’ to a genuine appreciation of the varied experience of past violence and its impact on the individual, those close to them and society as a whole. This insight into past lives is instructive and affecting in equal measure, setting a new benchmark for violence studies.’
