Ancient Engineering: Selective Ceramic Processing in the Middle Balsas Region of Guerrero, Mexico by Jennifer Meanwell. Paris Monographs in American Archaeology 48, 2017. ISBN 9781784916503. £45.00. (eBook ISBN 9781784916510, FREE to download in Open Access) xiv+352 pages; illustrated throughout in colour and black & white.

The Hunting Farmers: Understanding ancient human subsistence in the central part of the Korean peninsula during the Late Holocene by Seungki Kwak. 2017. ISBN 9781784916756. £28.00. (eBook ISBN 9781784916756, FREE to download in Open Access) xii+118 pages; illustrated throughout in colour and black & white (45 colour plates) The central hypothesis of this research is that there was a wide range of resource utilization along with rice farming around 3,400-2,600 BP. This hypothesis contrasts with prevailing rice-based models, where climatically driven intensive rice agriculture from 3,400 BP is thought to be the dominant subsistence strategy that drove social complexity.

	Mercenaries or refugees? The evidence from the inscriptions of Merenptah on the ‘Sea Peoples’ by Konstantinos Kopanias. Taken from Journal of Greek Archaeology Volume 2, 2017 (John Bintliff (editor-in-chief), Archaeopress, 2017). pp.119-134. During the fifth regnal year of Merenptah (either 1208 BC or 1219 BC), king Merey of the Rebu/Lebu attacked Egypt, together with his archers and many northern warriors. These northerners were not affiliated with any of the existing minor or major kingdoms of the eastern Mediterranean, since they are only identified by obscure ethnonyms.
	The folding cubit rod of Kha in Museo Egizio di Torino, S.8391 by Naoko Nishimoto. Taken from Proceedings of the XI International Congress of Egyptologists, Florence, Italy 23-30 August 2015. pp. 450-456. Much may be inferred about item S.8391, a folding cubit rod that belonged to Kha (TT 8, 18th Dynasty), by analyzing the results of the measurement survey conducted in 2011 from the perspective of woodwork. When Schiaparelli discovered the rod, it was folded inside a leather bag with a strap. The extremely rare folding cubit rod was loved by Kha, who was the overseer of works in Deir el-Medina and its related sites, where it was in practical use.
	Faience in seventh-century Greece: egyptianizing ‘bric a brac’ or a useful paradigm for relations with Egypt? by Virginia Webb. Taken from Interpreting the Seventh Century BC edited by Xenia Charalambidou and Catherine Morgan. pp. 71-79. Egyptianizing objects found in seventh- and sixth-century contexts in east Greece and elsewhere are most often made of faience. There are many problems, both of dating and attribution. This paper discusses one particular group of faience objects, the small perfume vessels in double vase form (so-called Leopard Spot Group), and makes some comments on the parallel group of small lekythoi, pyxides and alabastra.

Below is a selection of recently published titles from across all our ranges.

	Ras il-Wardija Sanctuary Revisited A re-assessment of the evidence and newly informed interpretations of a Punic-Roman sanctuary in Gozo (Malta) by George Azzopardi. 2017. ISBN 9781784916695. £19.00. (eBook ISBN 9781784916701, from £16.00 + VAT if applicable) vi+82 pages; black & white illustrations throughout. The secluded sanctuary on the coastal promontory of Ras il-Wardija on the central Mediterranean island of Gozo (near Malta) constitutes another landmark on the religious map of the ancient Mediterranean.

Greek epics, based on the Illiad and the Odyssey, are the basis for the first speculations that link societies all along the Mediterranean coast, from east to west.

	Elements of Continuity Stone Cult in the Maltese Islands by George Azzopardi. 2017. ISBN 9781784916954. £18.00. (eBook ISBN 9781784916961, from £16 +VAT if applicable) x+94 pages; 41 figs. In black & white. The stones dealt with in this study are non-figural (or aniconic) or, sometimes, semi-figural. They come from ritual contexts and, as such, act as a material representation of divine presence in their role as betyls. The Maltese islands are presented as a case study to demonstrate the phenomenon of continuity through a study of these stones.
