The cambridge world prehisTory

Egyptologists, art historians, philologists, and anthropological archaeologists have long worked side by side in Egypt, but they often fail to understand one another’s approaches. This book aims to introduce students to the archaeological side of the study of ancient Egypt and to bridge the gap between disciplines by explaining how archaeologists tackle a of problems.

Douglas Brewer edited editedvariety by by colin colin renfrew renfrew // paul paulJ.g. g. bahn bahnintroduces the theoretical reasoning for each approach, as well as the methods and techniques applied to support it. This book is essential reading for any student considering further study of ancient Egypt.

• Focuses on solving the mysteries of ancient Egypt through archaeological method and theory • Contrasts the different types of archaeology conducted in Egypt, and presents conclusions based on archaeological data • Encourages interpretation of artifacts, rather than a simple observation of the artifacts themselves.

• Bridges the gap between archaeology and other disciplines concerned with the study of Egypt (e.g., Egyptology, art history, philology) “…A comprehensive, but also accessibly written, introduction to the ways in which archaeology is being practiced in Egypt today. Making use of a series of valuable case studies presented in an engaging personal style, the book is of tremendous value both to students and to others seeking perspective on the field of Egyptian archaeology.”

– JOSEF WEGNER, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA DOUGLAS J. BREWER is [emeritus] professor of anthropology at the University of Illinois. He is the author (with Emily Teeter) of Egypt and the Egyptians, as well as of nunmerous other books and articles on Egypt.

The Cambridge World Prehistory Edited by Colin Renfrew University of Cambridge

and Paul G. Bahn

The Cambridge World Prehistory provides a systematic and authoritative examination of the prehistory of every region around the world from the early days of human origins in Africa two million years ago to the beginnings of written history, which in some areas started only two centuries ago. Written by a team of leading international scholars, the volumes include both traditional topics and cutting-edge approaches, such as archaeolinguistics and molecular genetics, and examine the essential questions of human development around the world. The volumes are organised geographically, exploring the evolution of hominins and their expansion from Africa, as well as the formation of states and the development in each region of different technologies such as seafaring, metallurgy and food production. The Cambridge World Prehistory reveals a rich and complex history of the world.

It will be an invaluable resource for any student or scholar of archaeology and related disciplines looking to research a particular topic, tradition, region or period within prehistory.

Lithic Technology Measures of Production, Use and Curation Edited by William Andrefsky, Jr Washington State University

This volume brings together essays that measure the life history of stone tools relative to retouch values, raw material constraints and evolutionary processes.

Collectively, they explore the association of technological organization with facets of tool form such as reduction sequences, tool production effort, artifact curation processes and retouch measurement.

Review of the hardback: ‘The different approaches to lithic analysis proposed by the authors will be of great value in broader archaeological interpretation as issues raised in the volume are explored in the future … The authors in this volume present us with interesting ideas and a healthy debate.’

Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario

The contribution of Neandertals to the biological and cultural emergence of early modern humans remains highly debated in anthropology. Particularly controversial is the long-held view that Neandertals in Western Europe were replaced 30,000 to 40,000 years ago by early modern humans expanding out of Africa. This book contributes to this debate by exploring the diets and foraging patterns of both Neandertals and early modern humans.

Archaeology of Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Pacific Ancestral Encounters in Highland Madagascar Material Signs and Traces of the Dead Zoë Crossland Columbia University, New York

Nineteenth-century highland Madagascar was a place inhabited by the dead as much as the living. Ghosts, ancestors and the possessed were important historical actors alongside local kings and queens, soldiers, traders and missionaries. This book considers the challenges that such actors pose for writing history, and draws on archaeology, landscape study, oral history and textual sources to trace the many encounters between living and dead.

Archaeology of Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Pacific Art and Risk in Ancient Yoruba

Human Adaptation in the Asian Palaeolithic

Ife History, Power, and Identity, ca. 1300 Suzanne Blier

Hominin Dispersal and Behaviour during the Late Quaternary Ryan J. Rabett

Harvard University, Massachusetts

McDonald Institute, Cambridge University

In this book, Suzanne Preston Blier examines the intersection of art, risk and creativity in early African arts from the Yoruba center of Ife and the striking ways that ancient Ife artworks inform society, politics, history and religion.

Yoruba art offers a unique lens into one of Africa’s most important and least understood early civilizations, one whose historic arts have long been of interest to local residents and Westerners alike because of their tour-de-force visual power and technical complexity. Among the complementary subjects explored are questions of art making, art viewing and aesthetics in the famed ancient Nigerian city-state, as well as the attendant risks and danger assumed by artists, patrons and viewers alike in certain forms of subject matter and modes of portrayal, including unique genres of body marking, portraiture, animal symbolism and regalia. This volume celebrates art, history and the shared passion and skill with which the remarkable artists of early Ife sought to define their past for generations of viewers.

This book examines the first human colonization of Asia and particularly the tropical environments of Southeast Asia during the Upper Pleistocene. In studying the unique character of the Asian archaeological record, it reassesses long-accepted propositions about the development of human ‘modernity’.

Empire, Authority, and Autonomy in Achaemenid Anatolia Elspeth R. M. Dusinberre

The Cambridge History of Painting in the Classical World Edited by J. J. Pollitt Yale University, Connecticut

Painting was one of the major achievements of the Classical world.

This book examines the development of mural and panel painting in the Classical world from the earliest Minoan and Cycladic frescoes of the Aegean Bronze Age to late Roman painting, from approximately 1800 BC to AD 400.

It provides a comprehensive study of major monuments, including exciting new material that has been discovered in recent years and has transformed the field. It also offers a critical overview of scholarly debates and controversies on aspects of style, iconography, technique and cultural context. This volume provides an up-to-date and muchneeded overview of the monuments that are now known and of the ideas that have been generated about them.

University of Colorado, Boulder

This book offers a radical new approach to understanding the Achaemenid Persian Empire and imperialism more generally. Elspeth R. M. Dusinberre shows how the rulers of the empire constructed a system flexible enough to provide for the needs of different peoples within the confines of a single imperial authority and highlights the variability in response.

Thanks to its exceptional size and duration, the Roman Empire offers one of the best opportunities to study economic development in the context of an agrarian world empire. This volume, which is organised thematically, provides a sophisticated introduction to and assessment of all aspects of its economic life.

This book uses a full range of literary, epigraphic and archaeological evidence in order to demonstrate the many different ways in which spatial analysis can illuminate our understanding of Greek and Roman society and the ways in which these societies thought of, and interacted with, the spaces they occupied and created.

Classical archaeology / Archaeology of the Americas The Cambridge Ancient History Plates to Volumes VII, Part 2 and VIII Second edition Edited by Christopher Smith British School at Rome

The Cambridge Ancient History is the most authoritative history of the ancient world. This volume is the partner to the volume of plates illustrating the Hellenistic East and provides an authoritative selection of illustrations for the early history of Rome and the development of the city of Rome, as well as all the regions of Italy and the West, including North Africa, Spain, Sicily and Gaul. It covers a period in which Rome began to expand westwards and illustrates both Rome’s own transformation and the impact on the West, including the consequences of the Punic Wars and the destruction to Carthage. All aspects of material culture are considered, with a particular focus on the development of coinage, as well as monumental building, the archaeology of naval and land warfare and the fascinating mixtures of languages and scripts represented in epigraphy. This will become a standard reference work for the period.

Review of the hardback: ‘… I recommend this book to readers interested in South American archaeology and ethnography, as well as to those interested in other mindbuilding cultures … an empirically rich contribution to explorations of heterarchy, political economies and ‘corporate’ polities in prehistory.

The book should stimulate creative thinking about shamanism, moundbuilding and the nature of political ties in other mound-building societies both in the ancient New World and further afield.’

This study vividly reconstructs the material reality of workers’ lives in some of the earliest centres of capitalism.

Providing an interdisciplinary approach, it offers unique insights into factors determining class identity. Supported throughout by illustrations, tables and graphs, this is essential reading for historical archaeologists and social scientists.

Review of the hardback: ‘The processes of class formation and distinction are ongoing in American cities. For those interested in those processes, The Archaeology of Class in Urban America is a ‘must read’.’

The Archaeology of Improvement in Britain, 1750–1850 Sarah Tarlow University of Leicester

In this innovative study, Sarah Tarlow shows how the archaeology of this period manifests a widespread and cross-cutting ethic of improvement, one of the most current concepts of eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain. Written primarily for archaeologists, this book will also be of interest to social historians and historical geographers.

Review of the hardback: ‘[Tarlow] produces an extremely useful synthesis of much archaeological and historical research, demonstrating that people in this period made many significant changes to their material world which they described as ‘improvement’. … Tarlow has many useful and original things to say about the archaeology of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. … this book is well worth reading, and also extremely easy to read – Tarlow writes with clarity and, at times, elegance. … this is a stimulating and provocative read.’

The First Boat People S. G. Webb Bond University, Queensland

Challenging current theories of how modern humans emerged, this book argues for an early entry of humans into Australia. It explores how, why and when people migrated across the world in the Pleistocene, and what happened to the megafauna of Australia when they got there.

Review of the hardback: ‘Steve Webb is an excellent expert of the Australian Biological Anthropology.

The First Boat People concerns how people travelled across the world to Australia. It traces movements from Africa to Australia, offering a new view of population growth at that time, challenging current ideas and underscoring problems with the Out of Africa theory of how modern humans emerged. A most interesting book which describes all facets of the topic.’

Journal of Comparative Human Biology

and Tim Thompson Teesside University

Reflecting upon recent developments in research on the relationship between the body, environment and society, this book examines the role of the body in human identification and in the forging of identities. It integrates biological perspectives with current discourse in the social sciences, focusing particularly on bioarchaeology and forensic science.

The Cambridge Economic History of the Greco-Roman World Edited by Walter Scheidel Stanford University, California

Ian Morris Stanford University, California

and Richard P. Saller Stanford University, California

In this, the first comprehensive one-volume survey of the economies of classical antiquity, twenty-eight chapters summarise the current state of scholarship in their specialised fields and sketch new directions for research. The approach taken is both thematic, with chapters on the underlying determinants of economic performance, and chronological, with coverage of the whole of the Greek and Roman worlds extending from the Aegean Bronze Age to Late Antiquity.

The contributors move beyond the substantivist-formalist debates that dominated twentieth-century scholarship and display a new interest in economic growth in antiquity. New methods for measuring economic development are explored, often combining textual and archaeological data that have previously been treated separately. Fully accessible to non-specialist, the volume represents a major advance in our understanding of the economic expansion that made the civilisation of the classical Mediterranean world possible.

Review of the hardback: ‘By presenting current scholarship and its prospective future course, the editors have produced a

very important work. Prodigious bibliography … Summing up: highly recommended.’

The Hills of Rome Signature of an Eternal City Caroline Vout University of Cambridge

Rome is ‘the city of seven hills’. This book explores what’s at stake in this cliché and how it has helped countless people think about Rome holistically.

Embracing evidence from Varro, Virgil and Claudian to sixteenth-century frescoes and nineteenth-century engravings, it proposes a new way of seeing the city.

Roman Phrygia

Greek Art and the Orient

Culture and Society Edited by Peter Thonemann

Ann C. Gunter Northwestern University, Illinois

For over a century, scholars have recognized an ‘orientalizing period’ in the history of early Greek art, in which Greek artisans fashioned works of art under the stimulus of Near Eastern imports or resident foreign artisans.

In this study, Ann Gunter interrogates the categories of ‘Greek’ and ‘Oriental’ as problematic and shifts emphasis to modes of contact and cultural transfers within a broader regional setting.
