	Bearsden: The Story of a Roman Fort by David Breeze. ISBN 9781784914905. £20.00. (eBook ISBN 9781784914912, from £15.83 + VAT if applicable) vi+124 pages; illustrated throughout in colour and black & white. This accessible account of the discoveries at the Roman fort at Bearsden examines the process of archaeological excavation, the life of the soldiers at the fort based on the results of the excavation as well as material from elsewhere in the Roman Empire, the presentation and interpretation of the bath-house and latrine, and a discussion of possible future work arising out of the excavation.
	The White Lady and Atlantis: Ophir and Great Zimbabwe Investigation of an archaeological myth by Jean-Loïc Le Quellec. ISBN 9781784914707. £45.00 x+320 pages; highly illustrated in colour throughout and black & white. This meticulous investigation, based around a famous rock image, the ‘White Lady’, makes it possible to take stock of the mythical presuppositions that infuse a great deal of scientific research, especially in the case of rock art studies. It also highlights the existence of some surprising bridges between scholarly works and literary or artistic productions (novels, films, comic strips, adventure tales).
	Myths about Rock Art by Robert G. Bednarik. 2016. ISBN 9781784914745. £30.00. (eBook ISBN ISBN 9781784914752. from £15.83 + VAT if applicable) ii+218 pages; illustrated throughout in colour and black & white. 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.
	Archaeology with Art edited by Helen Chittock and Joana Valdez-Tullett. ISBN 9781784914929. £30.00. (eBook ISBN 9781784914936, from £15.83 + VAT if applicable) xx+176 pages; illustrated in black & white throughout with 7 colour plates. Archaeology with Art is the result of a 2013 Theoretical Archaeology Group (TAG) conference session that aimed to merge the perspectives of artists and archaeologists on making art. It explores the relationship between archaeology and art practice, the interactions between materials and practitioners, and the processes that result in the objects and images we call ‘art’.
	Les sépultures mésolithiques de Téviec et Hoedic: révisions bioarchéologiques by Bruno Boulestin. ISBN 9781784914967. £50.00. (eBook ISBN 9781784914974, from £15.83 + VAT if applicable) viii+308 pages; illustrated throughout in colour and black & white. French text. The sites of Teviec and Hoedic, located in Brittany and excavated from 1928 to 1934 by Marthe and Saint-Just Péquart, have yielded twenty-odd graves dating to the end of the Mesolithic and containing almost forty individuals. This book presents a long lacking bioarchaeological review.
	Ceramiche vicinorientali della Collezione Popolani by Stefano Anastasio and Lucia Botarelli. La Collezione Orientale del Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze 3, 2016. ISBN 9781784914646. £34.00. (eBook ISBN ISBN 9781784914653. from £15.83 + VAT if applicable) vi+200 pages; illustrated throughout in colour and black & white. Italian text with English summary. This volume illustrates the Popolani Collection, that was donated to the Archaeological Museum of Florence by Carlo Popolani. The collection consists of ancient pottery vessels, terracotta oil-lamps, glazed Islamic tiles, Romano-Byzantine glassware, as well as various objects from the Damascene antique market.
	Statio amoena Sostare e vivere lungo le strade romane edited by Patrizia Basso and Enrico Zanini. ISBN 9781784914981. £40.00. Also available to download in Open Access, ISBN 9781784914998 viii+264 pages; illustrated throughout in black & white. All papers in Italian with English abstracts. The Roman road system was the main service infrastructure for administrative management, economic operation and defense of the empire. This volume examines resting places more or less directly linked with vehiculatio / cursus publicus, or with a system run or controlled by the state to ensure essential services (safe stop, supplies, maintenance of horses and other animals) to those traveling on behalf of the public administration.
	Parcours d’Orient Recueil de textes offert à Christine Kepinski edited by Bérengère Perello et Aline Tenu. 2016. ISBN 9781784914585. £45.00. (eBook ISBN 9781784914592. £19.00 incl. UK VAT) xiv+242 pages; illustrated throughout in black & white with 9 colour plates.

(eBook ISBN 9781784913663. from £15.83 + VAT if applicable) 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.
