A Fragmented History A methodological and artefactual approach to the study of ancient settlement in the territories of Satricum and Antium Groningen Archaeological Studies 18 2012. XVI, 405 pp. Softcover, 21 x 29.7 cm. € 63.60. ISBN 9789491431036 This dissertation presents four methodological case studies that elaborate on the results of two field survey projects (the Astura and Nettuno surveys) that were carried out by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology (GIA). The case studies aim at investigating biasing factors that limit the analytical and comparative value of data from archaeological survey in general using these two projects as a suitable testing ground.

Digital Atlas of Economic Plants in Archaeology Groningen Archaeological Studies 17 2011. 760 pp. Hardback, 21 x 29.7 cm. € 215.-. ISBN 9789491431029 The third part of the Digital Plant Atlas presents illustrations of subfossil remains of plants with economic value. Like the other atlasses, this atlas is a combination of a book and a website. Just as in part two of the series, The Digital Atlas of Economic Plants, this part will not only include illustrations of seeds and fruits, but also of other plant parts. The resulting variety in seed and fruit forms will be illustrated by examples from different excavations. To support their identification and determination, also pictures of recent plants and relevant plant parts have been included. To supplement the photographs, the website will also include morphometric measurements of the subfossil seeds and fruits. These measurements can be compared with own measurements of the plant taxa in question. More about this book Order form |
