NEW TITLES

Publications are available across a range of formats including paperback, eBook and Open Access. Click here for information regarding publishing in Archaeopress Archaeology.
 

	Cedar Forests, Cedar Ships Allure, Lore, and Metaphor in the Mediterranean Near East by Sara A. Rich. 2017. ISBN 9781784913656. £36.00. (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.
	Egypt 2015: Perspectives of Research Proceedings of the Seventh European Conference of Egyptologists (2nd-7th June, 2015, Zagreb – Croatia) by Mladen Tomorad and Joanna Popielska-Grzybowska.

(eBook ISBN 9781784915872, from £16.00 + VAT if applicable) vi+58 pages; illustrated throughout in colour and black & white. One of the most fascinating topics in the study of ancient art concerns artistic practices and models and the means of transmission of iconographic designs and decorative compositions. This phenomenon has not drawn much attention of scholars of the ancient art. This study presents some examples that suggest the existence of pattern books in the Ancient Greek world.
	The Resurgam Submarine ‘A Project for Annoying the Enemy’ by Peter Holt. 2017. ISBN 9781784915827. £18.00.  (eBook ISBN 9781784915834, from £16.00 + VAT if applicable) xiv+118 pages; illustrated throughout in colour and black & white.

	Coventry’s Medieval Suburbs Excavations at Hill Street, Upper Well Street and Far Gosford Street 2003-2007 by Paul Mason, Danny McAree and Iain Soden. 2017. ISBN 9781784915629. £30.00.

	The Archaeology of Kenilworth Castle’s Elizabethan Garden Excavation and Investigation 2004–2008 by Brian Dix, Stephen Parry and Claire Finn. 2017. ISBN 9781784915742. £22.00.

	Not just Porridge: English Literati at Table edited by Francesca Orestano and Michael Vickers. 2017. ISBN 9781784915780. £20.00. (eBook ISBN 9781784915797, from £16.00 + VAT if applicable) xii+180 pages; illustrated throughout in black & white with 8 colour pages. The essays presented in Not just Porridge address both the scholar and the bold, adventurous cook. They offer the crumbs of what might be found in great and famous works of literature. Concocted in Italy by scholars of English and sifted through the judgement of the English editor, this volume traces a curious history of English literature, from the tasty and spicy recipes of the Middle Ages down to very recent times, threatened as they are by junk food and microwaved dinners.
	Making a Mint Comparative Studies in Late Iron Age Coin Mould by Mark Landon. 2017. ISBN 9781784914080. £34.00. (eBook ISBN 9781784914073, from £16.00 + VAT if applicable) xii+198 pages; illustrated throughout in black & white. This book presents the first large-scale comparative study of Iron Age coin mould.

	Manning’s Curiosity Projected into the 21st Century by Brian Durham. Taken from Percy Manning: The Man Who Collected Oxfordshire edited by Michael Heaney (pages 289-309). Had a man of Percy Manning’s breadth of interests been born a century later, what intellectual ramparts would he have manned in Oxfordshire? Now that his sort of collecting has been recognized as an essential record of humanity’s evolution, such that developments big and small will try to address their respective cultural impacts in a spirit of discovery and understanding, what questions would still have tantalized a Percy Manning a century on?

Ancient finds from the islands are rare, and those held in the British Museum form an important collection.

Interpreting the Seventh Century BC Tradition and Innovation edited by Xenia Charalambidou and Catherine Morgan. 2017. ISBN 9781784915728. £65.00. (eBook ISBN 9781784915735, from £16.00 + VAT if applicable)
viii+460pp; illustrated throughout in colour and black & white.
This book has its origin in a conference held at the British School at Athens in 2011 which aimed to explore the range of new archaeological information now available for the seventh century in Greek lands. It presents material data, combining accounts of recent discoveries (which often enable reinterpretation of older finds), regional reviews, and archaeologically focused critique of historical and art historical approaches and interpretations. The aim is to make readily accessible the material record as currently understood and to consider how it may contribute to broader critiques and new directions in research.
