The remains of nearly 2000 of Blackburn's inhabitants were found, buried between 1821 and the 1860s. This study of the archaeological, artefactual, and osteological remains sheds light on 19th-century Blackburn, a period where the town was at its peak as one of the industrial powerhouses of northern England. Complimentary historical research into the church and the lives of some of those buried there allow a glimpse of the human side of the industrial revolution. The resulting picture shows Blackburn as a place full of prosperity, pollution, poverty, and opportunity, as it rapidly expanded over the course of the century.Specialized.Description based on print version record.St Peter's Church (Blackburn, England)History.Human remains (Archaeology)EnglandBlackburn.Blackburn (England)History19th century.Blackburn (England)Antiquities.Ginnever, Matt,author.Gaunt, Kimberley,author.Print version :9781407356495BAR British series ;692.https://doi.org/10.30861/9781407356495 02466nam a2200433 i 4500EDZ0003456015StDuBDS20250325155356.0m|||||o||d||||||||cr |||||||||||250325s2025 enka fob 000|0 spa|d9781407359847ebookNo price9781407359830paperback£120.0010.30861/9781407359830doiStDuBDSengStDuBDSrdapnF1435.3.R3L6 2025299.7'84223López Oliva, Macarena Soledad,author.Las personificaciones de seres sobrenaturales mayas :la deificación de los gobernantes y la encarnación de los dioses en el periodo Clásico (250-900 D.C.) /Macarena Soledad López Oliva.Oxford :BAR Publishing,2025.1 online resource (xxviii, 443 pages) :illustrations (black and white, and colour).textrdacontentstill imagerdacontentcomputerrdamediaonline resourcerdacarrierArchaeology of the Maya ;volume 14BAR international series ;3204Includes bibliographical references.This book analyses the impersonation of Maya supernatural beings through the hieroglyphic texts of the Classic period (250-900 A.D.).

This is an in-depth study of Prodromos monastery's architectural history and organisation, as well as the first attempt to locate it at the nexus of a sacred landscape surrounding the well-preserved complex. In this framework, the present study addresses different aspects of the monastery's traditions and realities, incorporating broad methodological approaches to sacred topographies and cultural landscapes.Specialized.Description based on print version record.MonasteriesGreeceMacedonia.Architecture, ByzantineGreeceMacedonia.Print version :9781407362199Archaeological studies on late antiquity and early medieval Europe (400-1000 A.D.)Monographs ;5.BAR international series ;3250.https://doi.org/10.30861/9781407362199 02287nam a2200433 i 4500EDZ0003575267StDuBDS20250908134218.0m|||||o||d||||||||m|||||o||d||||||||cr |||||||||||cr |||||||||||250908s2025 enkab fob 000|0 eng|d9781407362229ebookNo price9781407362212paperbackNo price10.30861/9781407362212doiStDuBDSengStDuBDSrdapnDP44.U7 2025936.623An urban Roman dump from 270+ AD (Tarraco - Carrer de Castaños, 1) :analysis of the content (pottery, glass, coins, and fauna) /edited by José Carlos Quaresma.Oxford :BAR Publishing,2025.1 online resource (viii, 236 pages) :illustrations (black and white, and colour), maps (black and white).textrdacontentstill imagerdacontentcartographic imagerdacontentcomputerrdamediaonline resourcerdacarrierBAR international series ;3228Includes bibliographical references.The second half of the 3rd century AD raises typological questions of enormous interest for understanding processes of economic transition just prior to further changes under the Tetrarchy.

Traces of female literacy can be linked to writing utensils, above-ground grave markers and inscriptions. Writing implements were found particularly frequently in the graves of wealthy women, indicating their education and the importance of literacy. Girls were also taught to read and write at an early age, as evidenced by the discovery of writing tablets in children's graves. Presenting themselves as educated women, often with scrolls or writing tablets on tomb reliefs, was an expression of status and cultural affiliation. However, as inscriptions show, there were also literate female slaves and freedwomen. This study shows that educated women were not a rarity in the Roman Empire, nor were they an unattainable ideal but evident in all levels of society.Specialized.Text in German with summaries in English and French.Description based on print version record.LiteracyRome.WomenBooks and readingRome.WomenRomeSocial conditions.Grave goodsRome.RomeAntiquities.Print version :9781407362311BAR international series ;3235.https://doi.org/10.30861/9781407362311 02197nam a2200409 i 4500EDZ0003466380StDuBDS20250424144506.0m|||||o||d||||||||cr |||||||||||250325s2025 enkab fob 000|0 eng|d9781407362342ebookNo price9781407362335paperback£40.0010.30861/9781407362335doiStDuBDSengStDuBDSrdapnHD9161.S63M8 2025338.4'767862'0981123Muniz, Tiago Silva Alves,author.Archaeology of the Amazonian rubber boom (1850-1920) :historical archaeology in an emerging present /Tiago Silva Alves Muniz.Oxford :BAR Publishing,2025.1 online resource (xxiii, 110 pages) :illustrations (black and white, and colour), maps (colour).textrdacontentstill imagerdacontentcartographic imagerdacontentcomputerrdamediaonline resourcerdacarrierContemporary and historical archaeology ;vol. 12BAR international series ;3213Includes bibliographical references.This title uses changes in the material world to investigate the impact of the Amazonian rubber boom on global history and local communities.

The analysis of the past and present impact of modern quarries and the assessment of the threats they pose to the landscape and underlying palaeontological or archaeological remains are key issues in the holistic protection of cultural heritage. The book aims to discuss varied international regulations concerning this topic, and provides examples of different approaches and methodologies used to manage the complex relationship between quarries and archaeology. The papers present case studies mostly derived from preventive archaeology, but also focused on non-direct and non-destructive surveys on the landscape, such as aerial and satellite remote sensing, or on archival and bibliographic documentation.Specialized.Description based on print version record.Quarries and quarrying.Excavations (Archaeology)Marino, Sara,editor.Kelany, Adel,editor.Vanzetti, Alessandro,editor.Print version :9781407362434BAR international series ;3205.https://doi.org/10.30861/9781407362434 02530nam a2200457 i 4500EDZ0003617928StDuBDS20251103113642.0m|||||o||d||||||||m|||||o||d||||||||cr |||||||||||cr |||||||||||251103s2025 enkab fo 000|0 eng|d9781407362465ebookNo price10.30861/9781407362458doiStDuBDSengStDuBDSrdapnCC75.E9 2025930.1'02823European Association of Archaeologists.Annual Meeting(30th :2023 :Belfast, Northern Ireland),creator.Exploring identities in archaeology :tools, methodologies and case studies /edited by Stéphanie Adroit, Kevin Parachaud, Pascual Perdiguero and Thibaud Poigt.Oxford :BAR Publishing,2025.1 online resource (xvii, 138 pages) :illustrations (black and white, and colour), maps (colour).textrdacontentstill imagerdacontentcartographic imagerdacontentcomputerrdamediaonline resourcerdacarrierBAR international series ;3239Based on conference proceedings.Includes bibliographical references.This volume is the result of a session dedicated to exploring the concept of identity in archaeology, held during the 2023 European Association of Archaeologists congress in Belfast. Drawing from the papers presented during this session, it brings together 12 chapters around a key objective: a methodological toolbox for the study of identity in archaeology. The ambition is not just to compile a series of case studies, but rather to demonstrate how archaeologists can effectively employ these tools to analyse and address identity-related questions through material remains.

The first phase of activity was defined by a semi-enclosed landscape including a number of discrete pit clusters and characteristic grain storage pits. Amongst these features was a stone-lined semi-subterranean structure that is unique in this region but has parallels in Scotland, Ireland, and northern France. The early Romano-British activity, dating to between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, appears to represent changes to the function of the site while retaining the agricultural character. Significant contemporary and related settlement evidence has previously been recorded at an adjacent site, but this site is of significance in its own right and displays intrinsically interesting features, not least the regionally unique semi-subterranean structure.Specialized.Description based on print version record.Barton Seagrave (England)HistoryTo 1500.Barton Seagrave (England)Antiquities.Mustchin, Antony R.

One common symbol found on a variety of objects was the X or cross motif, sometimes placed within a circle. Originally recognised on colonoware in South Carolina, initial interpretations suggested that the symbol was derived from Ghana. However, after a series of publications by art historians documenting the Bakongo Culture of West Central Africa in the 1980s, subsequent archaeological interpretations shifted to assign this singular African culture and its underlying belief system as the exclusive origin for these symbolic expressions.

It was succeeded by a military stores depot. After a short abandonment, a snaller Flavian fort was occupied briefly. The internal buildings of timber-framed construction were well-preserved, including a rare double barrack block, granaries, workshops, the praetorium, stables and store buildings.

It was excavated in the 1970s, by a joint team of the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA) and the National Museums of Kenya. During the excavations, a significant part of the ship's hull and more than 7,000 objects related to its operation, life on board and commercial activity were identified. All this information is presented and analysed in this book, together with the written sources which relate to the ship.

This study brings together literary, epigraphic, and iconographic sources found on funerary monuments in order to offer a more nuanced perspective. These delicati and delicia were not merely objects of pleasure but also symbols of social status. Libertine families, imitating the senatorial aristocracy and the Imperial household, displayed these slaves as a sign of social ascent, a process that necessarily involved achieving a solid economic capacity.

Additionally, the Soviet Red Army had camps in the woods for their soldiers and repatriates. Today, the sites of these former camps are under the protection of state monument preservation. Finds at these often-forgotten sites present the legacies of both victims and perpetrators, and are increasingly essential to the remembrance of a dying generation of contemporary witnesses.

This monetary and political relationship not only significantly impacted the Anglo-Scottish borderlands, but also national politics. As coinage can be more closely dated compared with other archaeological material, it offers a unique way to explore the complex political, economic and social relationships that characterise the Anglo-Scottish borders.

The initial goal of this project was to explore St. Mary's Hospital, which was situated within the convergence of religious and capitalist ideals in establishing much-needed health care in Virginia City, Nevada, a boomtown internationally recognized for its explosive wealth and technological innovations. The Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent DePaul aligned their religious values of service with mining barons' need for a healthy workforce.

Two of the sites, Carwynnen and Trethevy, are Early Neolithic chamber tombs and the third, Hendraburnick, is a later Neolithic megalithic propped stone. All three sites are complex monuments and two, Carwynnen and Hendraburnick, revealed episodes of re-use for centuries after their construction. All three sites demonstrate the careful selection of materials in their construction, demonstrating the desire to use particular shapes and colours. There is evidence at all three sites for the selection of specific stones, and for a variety of depositional practices at Carwynnen Quoit and Hendraburnick Quoit, which went beyond the interment of human remains. At Hendraburnick these practices included the incorporation of rock art.Specialized.Description based on print version record.Megalithic monumentsEnglandCornwall (County)Excavations (Archaeology)EnglandCornwall (County)Cornwall (England : County)Antiquities.Jones, Andy M.,editor.Gossip, James,editor.Print version :9781407363011Archaeology of prehistoric Ireland and Britain ;volume 2.BAR British series ;701.https://doi.org/10.30861/9781407363011 02283nam a2200469 i 4500EDZ0003575266StDuBDS20250908134217.0m|||||o||d||||||||m|||||o||d||||||||cr |||||||||||cr |||||||||||250908s2025 enkab fob 000|0 eng|d9781407363042ebookNo price9781407363035paperbackNo price10.30861/9781407363035doiStDuBDSengStDuBDSrdapnU35.W6 2025355'.093723Wood, Edwin,author.Britannia under the boot :Roman militaria from the 'civil zone' of Southern England /Edwin Wood.Oxford :BAR Publishing,2025.1 online resource (xxi, 171 pages) :illustrations (black and white, and colour), maps (black and white, and colour).textrdacontentstill imagerdacontentcartographic imagerdacontentcomputerrdamediaonline resourcerdacarrierArchaeology of Roman Britain ;volume 11Bar British series ;697Includes bibliographical references.Roman Britain is traditionally divided into a northern 'military' zone and a southern 'civil' zone with little intersection between them.

The author employs ethnographic and phenomenological methods to centre local voices and their intangible cultural heritage. The research reveals how archaeological sites exist simultaneously as global monuments, national symbols, and living spaces imbued with everyday cultural meaning. By adopting a bottom-up approach, the study illuminates how local communities conceptualise these ancient places through their own knowledge systems, values, and identity claims-often in tension with official narratives.

In contrast to narratives centred on elites and military conflict, this study foregrounds the material experiences of peasant communities and historically marginalised subjects.

This is the first discovery of its kind documented archaeologically in Rome. Previously, similar finds were scattered or destroyed due to lack of interest from the scientific community. Reconstruction of the context allowed the identification of the main owner of the workshop as Giovannino Boni. Also discussed is the topography of the Imperial fora between late antiquity and the Renaissance. There is analysis of the distribution of other contemporaneous pottery workshops and new findings regarding the attribution and identification of several medieval fortification works.Specialized.Description based on print version record.Majolica, RenaissanceItalyRome.Excavations (Archaeology)ItalyRome.Rome (Italy)Antiquities.De Luca, Ilaria,author.Meneghini, Roberto,author.Print version :9781407363608BAR international series ;3249.https://doi.org/10.30861/9781407363608 02385nam a2200421 i 4500EDZ0003646576StDuBDS20251210143733.0m|||||o||d||||||||cr |||||||||||251210s2025 enka fob 000|0 eng|d9781407363691ebookNo price9781407363684paperback£30.0010.30861/9781407363684doiStDuBDSengStDuBDSrdapnHN733.L5 2025305.5'1'095123Li, Xiang,author.Social differentiation among non-elites in China's central plains, 1735-1530 BCE :a household archaeology perspective on the Erlitou site /Xiang Li.Oxford :BAR Publishing,2025.1 online resource (xvii, 85 pages) :illustrations (black and white, and colour).textrdacontentstill imagerdacontentcomputerrdamediaonline resourcerdacarrierArchaeology of East Asia ;volume 14BAR international series ;3242Includes bibliographical references.Since its discovery in 1959, research on the Erlitou site has revealed China's first territorial state, dating from 1753 to 1530 BCE according to the latest C-14 dating. The capital's large rammed-earth structures and enclosed inner city suggest strong royal economic and labor-organizing capacities. The southern workshop enclosure housed elite-sponsored crafts like bronze casting and turquoise working. The city's settlement system relied on resource acquisition and tribute. However, existing studies lack focus on internal social complexity, especially bottom-up social differentiation. This book challenges the notion of a homogeneous non-elite class, being the first to study Erlitou society via household archaeology, focusing on non-elite households in the capital.Specialized.Description based on print version record.Social classesChinaErlitou SiteHistory.Household archaeologyChinaErlitou Site.Erlitou Site (China)Antiquities.Print version :9781407363684Archaeology of East Asia ;volume 14.BAR international series ;3242.https://doi.org/10.30861/9781407363684 02669nam a2200433 i 4500EDZ0003646477StDuBDS20251210143733.0m|||||o||d||||||||cr |||||||||||251124s2025 enka fob 001|0 eng|d9781407363714ebookNo price9781407363707paperback£42.0010.30861/9781407363707doiStDuBDSengStDuBDSrdapnNB1810.D6 2025732.823Dodson, Aidan,1962-author.Duke Alexander and his sarcophagi :the 10th Duke of Hamilton and the Egyptian stone anthropoid sarcophagi of Pabasa and Irtyeru /Aidan Dodson ; with contributions by Michael J.

Among his possessions were two Egyptian anthropoid stone sarcophagi. One belonged to Pabasa, a high official of the late 7th century BC, the other to a 3rd/2nd century woman named Irtyeru. The sarcophagus of Pabasa is now in a Glasgow museum, but that of Irtyeru now lies under the soil of a Scottish cemetery - containing the mummified body of Duke Alexander himself. This book relates how the two pieces came to be in the duke's possession, and publishes them archaeologically and philologically for the first time. Additionally, it explores the history of the great mausoleum that Duke Alexander constructed for himself, his ancestors and his successors. It concludes with the sad tale of the undermining of the mausoleum and the adjacent Hamilton Palace in search of coal and the consequent utter ruin of Duke Alexander's grand design.Specialized.Description based on print version record.SarcophagiEgypt.EgyptAntiquities.Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton Douglas,Duke of,1767-1852.Allan, Michael J.,author.Cross, Morag,author.Johnston, Kea,author.Print version :9781407363707BAR international series ;3240.https://doi.org/10.30861/9781407363707
