The scope of this journal is Greek archaeology both in the Aegean and throughout the wider Greek-inhabited world, from earliest Prehistory to the Modern Era. Thus we include contributions not just from traditional periods such as Greek Prehistory and the Classical Greek to Hellenistic eras, but also from Roman through Byzantine, Crusader and Ottoman Greece and into the Early Modern period. Outside of the Aegean contributions are welcome covering the Archaeology of the Greeks overseas, likewise from Prehistory into the Modern World. Greek Archaeology for the purposes of the JGA thus includes the Archaeology of the Hellenistic World, Roman Greece, Byzantine Archaeology, Frankish and Ottoman Archaeology, and the Postmedieval Archaeology of Greece and of the Greek Diaspora. The editorial board headed by John Bintliff (Edinburgh University, U.K. and Leiden University, The Netherlands). Full contents to Volume 1 2016 can be viewed here.

xvi+292 pages; illustrated throughout in colour and black & white.
The Old Kingdom of Egypt is famous as a period of the builders of the largest Egyptian pyramids. It is generally accepted that the evidence on the use of copper alloy tools from this era is meagre. Martin Odler gathers the textual, iconographic and palaeographic evidence and examines Old Kingdom artefacts in order to revise this view on the use of copper alloy tools and model tools.

Journals and Periodicals
In addition to the long-running annual Proceedings of the Seminar for Arabian Studies (ISSN 0308-8421) we are delighted to be publishing two new journals both due to launch in Autumn 2016:
 
Out Now: Journal of Greek Archaeology Volume 1 2016
ISSN: 2059-4674 (print); 2059-4682 (online)
A new international journal launching in Autumn 2016. The scope of this journal is Greek archaeology both in the Aegean and throughout the wider Greek-inhabited world, from earliest Prehistory to the Modern Era. The editorial board is headed by Prof. John Bintliff (Edinburgh University, U.K. and Leiden University, The Netherlands). Email: johnlbintliff@gmail.com
 
Out Now: Proceedings of the Seminar for Arabian Studies Volume 46, 2016 Papers from the forty-seventh meeting of the  Seminar for Arabian Studies held at the British Museum, London, 24 to 26 July 2015 edited by  Janet Starkey and Orhan Elmaz. 2016.

xiv+302 pages; illustrated throughout with 42 colour plates. ISSN 0308-8421.
 
Journal of Hellenistic Pottery and Material Culture
For the Hellenistic Period ceramics and other commodities of daily life represent probably the most neglected objects in archaeological research. Yet, apart from monographs, the publication of conference proceedings, which usually follow several years after the event, have remained the principal method of disseminating research results. Still lacking is a publication appearing regularly and at short intervals, that focusses research on Hellenistic pottery and is easily accessible. The Journal of Hellenistic Pottery – JHP – wants to close this gap.

Pages 225-243
North American rock art research since 2010 includes many familiar approaches, some modified to meet contemporary needs, and a few innovations that are maturing into standard research tools. The living voices of descendant communities are more important than ever to many researchers, who acknowledge that our enterprise is essentially one of outsiders looking in.

Rather than considering the myths supposedly depicted in the world’s rock art, this book examines the myths archaeologists and others have created about the meanings and significance of rock art. This vast body of opinions dominates our concepts of the principal surviving cultural manifestations of early worldviews. Here these constructs are subjected to detailed analysis and are found to consist largely of misinterpretations.

x+280 pages; highly illustrated throughout in colour and black & white.
Drawing from object-oriented ontologies and other ‘new materialisms,’ this book constructs a hylocentric anti-narrative spreading from the Cretaceous to the contemporary. With a dual focus on the woods and the watercraft, and on the historical overlap between them, the book takes another step in the direction of challenging the conceptual binaries of nature/culture and subject/object, while providing an up-to-date synthesis of the relevant archaeological and historical data.
